The Kapuso actor then swiftly answered that he would like to go back to a time when his mother, Rosario Faulkerson, was still with them.
"[I want to go back] when she was alive para masabi ko lang na 'Ma, this is it, this is what happened to my life after you left.' I just want her to see it kasi she's the one naman who has been dreaming of this for me. Gusto niya talaga akong mag-artista [laughs]. I just want her to see that we're doing okay and I want her to know that I'm doing this for her," he said.
Alden also remembered the times when their family was struggling financially, "This, everything that has been happening to my life, she's the one who imparted it to me. I really didn't want any of this when I was starting. My plans were to graduate college kahit na mahirap kasi 'di naman kami mayaman so we were really struggling to pay the tuition fees and there were times talaga na we have to choose who would go first to college."
As a follow-up question, he was also asked where he would go if he could fast forward to the future.
According to Alden, "Siguro if I could fast forward everything I would want it to be like this pa din; kumbaga a stable job, I'm able to provide for everyone, and be able to establish good relationships with different charitable institutions. Number one talaga sa akin 'yung need to share, the blessings that I'm getting are not worth it if I'm not able to share it. God placed us in a certain position for us to share something kasi He knows that we have the capacity to share so He will bless those people."
