Looking back on their journey to “Hello, Love, Again”
Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards grace Metro’s latest digital cover together and speak about what “Hello, Love, Again,” the most anticipated Filipino film this year, means to them.
The two stars marked their second Metro cover following their 2019 cover for their first movie “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” which ended on a bittersweet note for Joy (Kathryn) and Ethan’s (Alden).
In the two-cover special titled “What ‘Hello, Love, Again,’ means for Kathryn and Alden,” they teased the huge changes of their characters and how far they will go for love.
“I think the question right now is, ‘Hanggang saan mo ba kayang ipaglaban ’yung pagmamahal mo para sa ibang tao? At pagmamahal mo para sa iyong sarili?’” Alden told Metro.
“Ibang flavor siya ni Joy and Ethan. ’Pag iisipin mo, ’yung boy meets girl from ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye.’ And then, fast forward to ‘Hello, Love, Again’ why ‘again?’ Ano’ng nangyari sa life nila pareho? When we change, people grow, right? And just like Joy and Ethan, for sure, tumanda sila. And ang dami nilang natutunan sa ilang years na ’yun,” Kathryn added.
From being homegrown stars of their respective networks ABS-CBN and GMA, Kathryn and Alden were grateful for themselves for taking a leap of faith and believing in the film’s story of showcasing the efforts of overseas Filipino workers.
“Ang dami na rin kasing nagpapakita ng support nila as early as now. It fueled us. Especially nu’ng mga nahihirapan kami. So, your excitement and everything you feel right now, doble ’yung nafi-feel namin nu’n. Gawa ’to lahat sa puso. Kung ano ’yung mapapanood niyo, kung ano ’yung makikita niyo, we gave it our all,” said Kathryn.
“We wanted to tell another great story about this epic relationship that Joy and Ethan have that also highlights the OFWs… This story is not just for mga hopeless romantic or mahilig kiligin. This is a story about life,” Alden shared.
