Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards. Star Cinema 

MANILA -- After the media conference, "Hello, Love, Again" lead stars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards sat down with ABS-CBN News for a fun Q&A game with a lie detector test.

First, we asked Richards if he thought "Hello, Love, Goodbye" was the first and last time he would ever work with Bernardo. He said: “Yes. Kasi work naman eh. Akala ko lang last na yun.”

Second, we asked Bernardo if it’s true she pulled some strings to make "Palagi" the official soundtrack of their movie. The Kapamilya actress answered with a resounding "yes." 

She said: “Ginamit ko na 'yung friendship card ko. That song, when they released ‘Palagi’ naging sobrang gusto ko siya na OPM song. Gustong gusto ko yung kanta na yun. Tapos last few days in Canada, nag-post si KZ (Tandingan) na gagawa sila ng different version this time with KZ.”

“Pag-uwi ko dito, ni-release nila 'yun, sabi ko lang ang perfect, meant to be. Nag-release sila ng duet version, tapos it’s like the life of Ethan and Joy, their love story. And parang sobrang bagay lang siya.”

Thirdly, we asked Bernardo if Richards is the "cute boy with a white jacket and thick accent." For context, a few days ago Kathryn uploaded a short video on TikTok using a clip of Sabrina Carpenter’s hit song "Bed Chem" that had the line "who’s the cute boy with a white jacket and thick accent?" In the video, Bernardo can be seen pulling a guy’s hand wearing a white jacket.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out and assume that it was Richards’ hand. But hours after, a behind-the-scenes video of Bernardo’s TikTok video came out showing that it was her road manager Arly’s arm and not Richards’.

We sought for her explanation and she said: “Si Kuya Arly 'yun. Ang tagal ko na kasing hindi nag-TikTok. Nasa taping kami noon for ‘All-out Sundays’. Jacket ni Tisoy (Richards). Ano ba 'yung video na mabilis na arte-arte lang. So hiniram ko 'yung jacket niya sa dressing room.”

Lastly, we asked Richards if it’s true that she gifted Bernardo with a ring. The actor, smiling back at his leading lady, affirmed and confirmed. He explained that it wasn’t for Bernardo’s birthday but it was after they came from a party of their friend.

“We came from a party of a friend tapos the next day nag-message lang sa akin si Kath na she lost her ring,” he said.

Bernardo also clarified that it’s a health ring -- which helps her sleep better and monitor some of her health vitals.

Richards said, “Nag-extra effort lang naman tayo ng konti…” but revealed that Bernardo eventually found her lost ring. Now she has two.

“So naging dalawa na. Ewan ko na lang 'pag hindi pa ma-monitor ang health ko nito.”

We teased Richards, “Hindi yan ginagawa ng normal friend.” And both just gave intriguing smiles. 

"Hello Love Again" will hit cinemas on November 13.
