BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

This Sunday, May 19, the speculations were over as Joy and Ethan are really saying hello to us again!

In a media conference held, it was confirmed that Kathryn Bernardo and Alden RIchards will reprise their roles again for the part 2, and will be directed again by Direk Cathy Garcia-Sampana.  The movie title will be “Hello, Love, Again,” and will be shown on November 13, 2024, in cinemas worldwide. 

“If I put myself aside, not being part of the cast, parang ang dami kong questions,” said Bernardo. 

“Ang dami kong gusto malaman, kamusta si Joy? Is Ethan okay? Nag-survive ba ‘yung LDR (long-distance relationship) nila? Kamusta ‘yung buhay niya sa Canada? Nagawa niya ba ‘yung dreams niya?” she added. 

Alden admitted that he has been waiting for this moment to happen. 

“Hinintay ko rin siya [sequel ng ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye’]. Kumbaga, after seeing the film over and over again. ‘Yong pangarap na ‘yon nasa puso ko lang in the past five years,” he said.

“Finally nga, ito nga. Dreams do come true talaga,” dugtong pa niya.

“Hello, Love, Again” will provide all the answers to viewers’ questions about Joy and Ethan, probably.

Lamasan.
