Perhaps it&#x27;s because through these years, even over the pandemic, the two have remained friends.  </p><div><br/></div><p>&#x27;Because it started off from something good, I think,&#x27; Alden says when asked how they were able to maintain their friendship after <em>Hello, Love, Goodbye</em>. &#x27;<em>Kaya</em>, I think, in every relationship <em>naman</em>, it doesn&#x27;t really matter <em>kung</em>, you know, <em>mapag</em>-<em>se</em>-separate <em>kayo ng oras or hindi kayo magkikita </em>most of the time. But, I think, the whole group <em>ng Hello, Love, Goodbye </em>really maintained that friendship... <em>may</em> GC [<em>kami</em>] <em>sa isang</em> social media app. And then we see to it <em>na kahit papaano</em>, we get to say hi, hello, <em>kamustahin &#x27;yung isa&#x27;t-isa</em>... Once in a while. And, <em>&#x27;yun siguro</em>,<em> hindi kami natapos lang</em> as what we call <em>sa</em> industry <em>natin,</em> taping or shooting friends. So, I think that really maintained the friendship <em>namin</em>. <em>Namin ni</em> Kath as well... <em>&#x27;Yung</em> communication has always been there. So, <em>kaya</em>, <em>&#x27;yun</em>, cut to today, <em>nagulat lang din kami na gagawin na namin agad &#x27;yung Hello, Love, Again</em>. And we&#x27;re just very happy and excited for this film.&#x27;</p><div><br/></div><p>How this stronger friendship and closeness affected their chemistry in <em>Hello, Love, Again</em> is exciting to see, especially since Kathryn and Alden resonate with the growth of their characters Joy (or Marie) and Ethan. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0d9c07a6-64ee-4d32-982e-c2e9b53ddd2b_metro_kathryn-alden_17.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Behind the scenes at Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards" Metro="" cover=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/digital-covers/hello-love-again-kathryn-alden-on-metro-part-2/39132" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Hello, Love, Again” Is a Heartwarming Love Letter to Filipinos Everywhere</a></div><div><br/></div><p>For Kathryn, filming for <em>Hello, Love, Again</em> alone felt like an opportunity to grow, too, and they can&#x27;t wait for everyone to see what they worked so hard on. </p><div><br/></div><p>&#x27;Like what he [Alden] said, <em>puso</em>. <em>Gawa &#x27;to lahat sa puso</em>. <em>Kung ano &#x27;yung mapapanood niyo</em>,<em> kung ano &#x27;yung makikita n&#x27;yo</em>, we gave it our all,&#x27; <a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/hello-love-again-kathryn-alden-on-metro-part-2/39132" target="_blank">Kathryn tells <strong>Metro.Style</strong></a><strong>.</strong> And I hope you see that when you watch the film.
