Alden Richards, Kyline Alcantara, Jason Abalos on what they learned from grandparents
Having a lolo and lola almost feels like you have another set of parents, except
they are less stern and are wiser, imparting valuable lessons to their grandchildren.
If you're one of the lucky ones who were born just in time to still meet their grandparents, make the most out of it like how Kapuso stars Alden Richards, Kyline Alcantara and Jason Abalos did.
GMA News Online spoke with these three Kapuso stars who are close to their lolos and lolas and asked them to share the lessons they learned and the memorable moments they had with their grandparents.
Alden Richards
Pambansang Bae Alden Richards grew up close to his lola Erlinda Peralta.
On lessons learned: Strong faith in God and managing money
Being wise in handling money and being God-fearing are some of the important things I learned from my lola that I would definitely pass on to my children.
On his most memorable moment: Living with them for a year changed him for the better
I remember the time when I lived with my lola for a year. During those times that we’re together, she taught me lessons I could follow in order to become a better person. Then after I went back to my province in Laguna, I suddenly felt like I was a better person.
On being a lola's boy: Extra guidance and support
I feel really happy to be a lola’s apo because aside from my father who supports me in every step of the way, I get extra guidance and support from my lola who I know is always cheering for me.
On his message to his lola
Hi, lola! Palakas ka and always take good care of yourself so that you can continue to witness my journey in showbiz, dahil alam ko mula noon hanggang ngayon, ikaw ang number one fan ko.
My inspiration. We love you Lola and Papa.??

Jason Abalos
When he was growing up, Jason Abalos lived with his grandparents.
On lessons he learned: Finishing school is the ultimate "pamana"
Mag-aral at magtapos ng pag-aaral dahil totoo naman na 'yan lang ang puwedeng ipamana.
On unforgettable moments: A series of moments living with them
Sa kanila kasi ako lumaki. So madaming moments na hindi ko malilimutan. Ang alam ko lang, lahat ng ginagawa nila nararamdaman ko ang pagmamahal nila. Kahit sa maliliit na bagay hanggang sa unang kotse ko nung showbiz na ako, sila ang bumili. Alam ko na hindi na sa halaga/presyo noong bagay pero 'yong thought na ayaw nila kami mahirapan sa buhay na hangga't kaya nila kami tulungan tutulong sila.
On perks of being a lolo and lola's boy:
Laging masarap ulam at may dagdag baon.
On his message to apos who still have their grandparents
Para sa mga apo na lang since wala na akong grandparents. Spend time with them, ipakita/ibalik ang pagmamahal na binibigay nila kasi sigurado ako na mas higit ang pagmamahal nila sa atin kesa sa mga magulang (kasi spoiled nila tayo, ang parents tough love) at kahit anong gawin niyo sa buhay, proud sila sa inyo na sila ang lolo at lola niyo so gumawa lagi ng mabuti.
Kyline Alcantara
On most memorable moment: Karaoke
"Ang unforgettable moment ko po with my grandparents is 'yung bonding po namin sa videoke po, at kaya po siya unforgettable kasi po sa paunti-unti na pong naabot ang pangarap ko po so singing, lagi ko pong naiisip ang lolo o Papa Ben ko po kasi po ang advice sa 'kin ng lolo ko, damahin lang daw po 'yung kanta at mailalabas na ang tunay na kahulugan ng kanta mo.
On lesson she learned: Be positive
Ang lesson po na nakuha ko from my grandparents po is maging positibo sa lahat ng bagay po at maging strong sa lahat ng mga trials or pagsubok sa buhay po at maging totoo po sa sarili.
On being a lolo and lola's girl: 'Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ako'
Sobrang happy na may lolo at lola po. Mas madaming advices kasi ang grandparents ko. Always sinasabihan ako ng "papunta ka pa lang pabalik na ako". Parang for me halos napagdaanan na po nila then ako po need ko po makinig sa advices nila.
On her message to her lolo and lola
My wish to my grandparents ko po is sana mabuhay pa sila ng matagal po at mag-enjoy po habang buhay po. At nagpapasalamat na din po ako sa sobrang pagmamahal po nila sa amin po, sobra po. —KG, GMA News
