<p>In an exclusive <strong>Metro.Style</strong> interview, <a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/kathryn-bernardo-alden-richards-hello-love-again-1/39108" target="_blank"><strong>Kathryn Bernardo</strong> and <strong>Alden Richards</strong></a> open up about where they imagine the next chapter of Ethan and Joy’s love story taking place. With the buzz around their new film, <strong><em><a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/hello-love-again-kathryn-alden-on-metro-part-2/39132" target="_blank">Hello, Love, Again</a></em></strong>, Kathryn and Alden shared their ideas for a potential Part 3 of the beloved series during their <strong>Metro</strong> magazine digital cover shoot.</p><div><br/></div><p>The journey of Ethan and Joy, two overseas Filipino workers whose paths first crossed in <strong><em>Hello, Love, Goodbye</em> </strong>(which was filmed in Hong Kong), resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. Alden mentioned how he sees a third installment bringing Ethan and Joy back to their roots in the Philippines. </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/b7937d4e-c503-43a7-97bf-255d78cbc826_metro_kathryn-alden_11.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">On Kathryn: Jacket, pants, bag, and earrings all by Louis Vuitton | On Alden: Ensemble by Fendi and luggage by Louis Vuitton<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Photography by Charisma Lico  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>“<em>Uwi na dito sa </em>Manila,” he reflected when asked where they envision filming if a Part 3 would be in the works. “<em>Kasi nga</em> <em>s’yempre Pinoy ’yung dalawa</em>, [<em>sina</em>] Joy <em>at</em> Ethan. <em>Baka</em> [<em>maganda</em>] <em>dito sa Pilipinas</em>.”</p><div><br/></div><p>Kathryn agreed, joking that that’d be nice, too, because it would mean they wouldn’t have to work with just a skeletal crew abroad, like they did when they filmed in <strong>Canada</strong> for <em>Hello, Love, Again.</em>  </p><div><br/></div><p>In line with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEBezg1qzAQ&amp;t=17s" target="_blank">“run away with me” or sweet escape concept</a> of Kathryn and Alden’s <strong>Metro</strong> cover shoot, we also asked them where they could see their characters traveling should they go on a road trip. Alden envisioned Ethan and Joy’s personalities guiding their next adventure: a road trip across the United States. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Kasi malikot ’<em>yung dalawa</em>, ’<em>di sila napipirmi sa isang lugar</em>,” Alden mused. “I think for their personality, <em>magugustuhan nilang meron lang silang</em> camper van <em>tapos</em> long drive <em>lang sila</em>. <em>Palipat-lipat ng</em> state just to see the world together.” This storyline would align with the characters’ spirited and adventurous nature, as both are drawn to exploring new places and experiencing life beyond the ordinary.</p><div><br/></div><p>But what are the places on the travel bucket lists of Kathryn and Alden? She said <strong>Croatia</strong> is a dream destination for her, while Alden chose <strong>Antarctica</strong>. </p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cEBezg1qzAQ" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>The highly anticipated <strong><em>Hello, Love, Again</em></strong> is now showing in 600 cinemas nationwide and soon worldwide, reuniting Kathryn and Alden under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker <strong>Cathy Garcia-Sampana</strong>. </p><div><br/></div><p>This sequel revisits their undeniable on-screen chemistry and the heartfelt story of two young Filipinos chasing their dreams far from home. The original film, <em>Hello, Love, Goodbye</em>, became a global sensation in 2019, capturing audiences with its emotional depth and relatability. </p><div><br/></div><p>Fans can only imagine the beauty of seeing Ethan and Joy rediscover each other either back home or on an epic road trip. Whether they wander the streets of Asia or the highways of America, their fans are eagerly waiting to see where their love story could unfold next. </p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LI0LGfDmDEU?si=ogB51sPeAsOUv-w0" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Text by <strong>Princes del Corro</strong></p><p>Lead photo by <strong>Charisma Lico</strong></p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/digital-covers/kathryn-bernardo-alden-richards-hello-love-again-1/39108" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">What “Hello, Love, Again” Means for Kathryn and Alden</a></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>
