To read more books.To learn a new skill. To quit social media.
Albie is one of our more serious actors, who has proven time and again that he’s got what it takes to be on the big screen. He has been playing quite off-beat roles, bad boy parts which he does wonderfully well.
The public doesn’t seem to realize that behind those menacing performances is a young man with depth and substance.
That afternoon, Albie talked about a book that he’s been reading. It discussed dark matter in space.
Albie said he also wants to strengthen his spiritual side, an opinion shared by his “Pusong Ligaw” co-actor, Enzo Pineda. The two young men admitted that they had been inspired by their frequent conversations with their more senior co-star, Raymond Bagatsing.
