After spending time with the love team, the Filipina fashion icon shared some of her observations from working with Alden and Maine.

In a post on her Instagram account, Sari said that she got to work with Alden four years ago, before he became one of the most in-demand actor in the country.

She was glad to see that Alden has kept his feet firmly on the ground and remained the same throughout the years.

Sari posted, “Alden Richards, I have known from before Aldub fame. His first group cover for @mega_magazine was 4 years ago and we would always have short but deep conversations during Mega events.'My favorite topic was always about guarding against fame getting into your head."

She added, “Alden was always an attentive student. 'Ayan, nangyari na,' I say to him, as we sit down to have lunch in Marrakech. He is like an eager young boy, always keeping an eye on his phone, looking for pokemons. 'Oo nga, ho,' he smiles, and gives me his full attention. 'I can see hindi ka nagbago. Good,' I tell him. 'Hindi po,' he confirms .”

 

Meanwhile, Sari described Maine as your "makulit little sister," who is oblivious to fame and her stature in Philippine showbiz.

She explained, “What I really think after 3 days of working with her? The girl is a riot a minute! She is quiet for a bit until she gets to know you, then she becomes everyone's makulit little sister. She is oblivious to fame, which is why fame hounds her. The @mega_magazine team is missing her now that she is on her way home...”
