<p>it’s been two years since he got the chance to work with co-star Nora Aunor in the still unreleased film project <em>Ligalig</em>, but actor Allen Dizon revealed to PUSH ABS-CBN in an exclusive interview why he will never forget the moments he witnessed with the late actress on the set even when the cameras weren’t rolling.</p><p>“Si ate Guy nakasama ko for a film, yung <em>Ligalig</em>. Hindi pa siya napapalabas. Alam ko one of the last films na ginawa niya yung <em>Ligalig</em> na ginawa namin. First and last time yun (na makatrabaho ko siya). Actually nakakatuwa eh, nakakatuwa siyang katrabaho kasi every time na may shooting kami, yung pera niya pinamimigay niya sa mga tao, sa mga crew.</p><p>&quot;Every day, may pa-raffle. Every day, may game na wala namang kuwentang game pero para makapagbigay lang siya ng pera. Alam mo yun? Naisip ko, grabe naman si ate Guy, sobrang napakabait naman masyado, napaka-generous,” he recalled in an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN during the premiere of his latest film <em>Fatherland</em> last April 22.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/4/7/allen-dizon-on-playing-three-roles-in-new-film-fatherland-meron-siyang-personality-disorder-1819"><strong>READ: Allen Dizon on playing three roles in new film Fatherland: &#x27;Meron siyang personality disorder&#x27;<br/></strong></a></div><p>The talented actor admitted that he witnessed firsthand the unending generosity of the country’s one and only Superstar.</p><p>“Alam mo yung sinasabi nga nilang di baleng wala na siyang pera, pero pag may lumapit sa kanya, pagbibigyan niya.

Yun lang naman eh, yun naman ang nakikita kong gusto ni ate Guy, na magmahalan lahat. Especially sa industriya ng showbiz, para magtulungan lahat.  ung time na yun na nakasama ko siya, ang dami kong natutunan sa kanya.
