By Aaron Brennt Eusebio

Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards and New Generation's Movie Queen Bea Alonzo got candid when asked about the moments in their life that they would want to remember forever.

For Alden, it was the memory of his mom who passed away in 2008 because of pneumonia.

Alden revealed that it was his mom's dream for him to join showbiz.

He answered, "Moment siguro sa buhay ko ['yung] sa mom ko. Ayoko 'yun makalimutan.

"Kasi 'yung nanay ko 'yung main reason kung bakit ako nag-start dito sa industry.

"She wanted this for me. Kahit ayoko, in-encourage niya ako but hindi na niya naabutan.

"Kahit 'yung first soap, first TVC, actually kahit first play sa school, hindi na niya naabutan kasi bedridden na siya 'non, e.

"I don't want to forget that kasi that's what keeps me going in this industry."

Meanwhile, Bea gave three moments in her life that she wants to remember.

She said, "'Yung pinanganak 'yung nephew ko last year because he's one of the greatest gifts na napunta sa amin. Malaking malaking blessing sa amin sa gitna pa ng pandemya.

"And the other one, I don't want to forget about 'yung moments when I was just starting out in showbiz because mahirap 'yung pinagdaanan ko. Talagang hindi siya walk in the park, and it made me stronger as a person and I was able to do a lot of things.

"And until now, when I look back, napa-proud ako sa sarili ko na I was able to get here without stepping on other people's toes.

"And I feel it makes me grounded.

"And 'yung third one, gusto kong alalahanin 'yung moments na nagta-travel kami nung family ko nung nakakalakad pa 'yung nanay ko.

"Kasi hindi na siya nakakalakad ngayon."

Alden and Bea will star in the Philippine movie adaptation of the Japanese series 'Pure Soul,' the same source of the hit 2004 Korean movie 'A Moment To Remember.'

The film will be directed by Nuel Naval and will be co-produced by Viva Films, GMA Pictures, and APT Entertainment.
