This will definitely give another challenging role for Alden Richards. In order to give justice to the role, the Asia’s Multimedia Star talked to Jirome and asked some questions.

GMA Entertainment shared a video clip of the conversation that happened between episode director Neal del Rosario, Alden, and Jirome.

The actor asked the first time Jirome had his condition and if it slowly aggravating. The runner shared that his previous job involved talking on the phone for a long time and he there was a time when he was assigned to the phone with no headset and so he just put the phone between his ear and shoulder.

Jirome thought that it was just “nangangalay.” “I thought that was the trigger,” he said. Then, his mother would scold him for always moving with the thought that he was just fidgeting.
