Alfred went on to share a message for his late mom by expressing his love for her.
The actor-politician also expressed his gratitude to his late mother for praying for him and also for guiding him. He also thanked his late mother for being always there for his family.

At that time, he shared that he entered the showbiz industry when he graduated in Ateneo last 2002 instead of going to law school.
“Yung mother ko, lawyer. Medyo bumigat yung loob niya. Medyo nagalit siya sa akin, as in nagkaiyakan pa kami before,” he shared at that time. “Pero sabi ng mom ko, noong napanood niya ako, lalo na sa ‘Encantadia,’ sabi niya, ‘Sige, okay lang. Basta, kahit hindi ka mag-law school, anak, just promise me you will pursue graduate studies.’ [Promise] ko sa kaniya ‘yon.“
The actor currently stars in Kapuso teleserye “AraBella” and is also pursuing his doctoral degree at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman through the ladderized program of the university’s School of Urban and Regional Planning (SURP).
