Five Breakups and a Romance stars Alden Richards and Julia Montes gave pieces of advice as the Sparkle Caravan Campus Tour Auditions went to the Lyceum of the Philippines University in Manila on September 13.
Going to LPU - Manila in Intramuros was a sweet moment for Alden since his dad, Richard Faulkerson Sr., studied in the said university in 1980s, and became part of the men's basketball team.
After the auditions for aspiring artists, Julia reminded everyone that being an actor is not all glitz and glamour as people would not normally see the hard work they do behind the camera.
"Meron kami ni Alden na tip rin sa inyo: tapusin niyo muna 'yung school bago kayo pumasok sa showbiz kasi mahirap siya talaga i-balance," Julia said.
"Siguro, i-reward niyo na muna sa sarili niyo 'yung academic side, and then after, i-reward niyo naman 'yung dreams niyo, doon niyo niyo naman siya i-pursue.
"'Yun lang naman 'yung parang napansin namin mahirap i-juggly."
Alden added, "Yes, kasi honestly, kami po ni Juls is hindi po kami pinalad makapagtapos ng studies. And, right now, that we have the means to go back, e, medyo nahihirapan po kami i-balanse 'yung pag-aaral sa pagtatrabaho."
"So, ngayon, masuwerte kayo, nandito pa kayo. We really encourage you to really prioritize your studies and education kasi that's something that can't be taken away from you," he shared. "Believe in that."
The Clash Season 5 grand winner John Rex also serenaded the crowd full of Lyceans.
