Liza Soberano, AJ Perez
KASABAY ng pag-promote ng aktres na si Liza Soberano ng kanyang Hollywood film na “Lisa Frankenstein,” inalala niya ang dating iniidolo na namayapang aktor na si AJ Perez.
Para sa kaalaman ng marami, si AJ ay sumikat sa kasagsagan ng 2000s.
Pero sa kasamaang palad ay nasangkot siya sa isang vehicular accident na naging dahilan ng kanyang pagkamatay noong 2011.
Si AJ ay nasa edad 18 nang sumakabilang-buhay.

Sa YouTube video na “One Down,” inungkat ng host na si Tessa Albea ang dahilan kung bakit gumawa ng Twitter account ang aktres.
“You started your Twitter for someone as a fangirl. Can you talk a little bit about that?” tanong ni Tessa.
Pagbubunyag ni Liza, gumawa siya ng Twitter account dahil nais niyang subaybayan si AJ bilang isang fan.
“So I was a huge fan of AJ Perez ’cause I have watched him in this one teleserye called ‘Sabel.’ And it was very unfortunate that he passed away.
“And that was the reason why I created my Twitter because I wanted to have some sort of memory of him, so I followed him,” wika ni Liza.
Kasunod niyan ay nabanggit na nga niya na matapos ang balitang pagpanaw ng aktor ay bigla na siyang nakakatanggap ng personal message mula rito.
“At first, I was scared of, like, checking it because I was like, ‘what’s going on?’ And then eventually, I came to it and then I checked the message. It was messages from his family, but it was always very scary when I would receive notifications from AJ Perez,” kwento niya.
Patuloy niya, “But, yeah, I became friends with his younger brother, Gelo, and his family. Eventually, I was introduced to them.”
Chinika rin ni Liza na ‘yung araw na namatay si AJ ay ang araw din mismo ng kanyang first-ever audition upang maging artista.
“The day he passed away, I was on my way –’cause I lived in Pangasinan at that time and I actually passed by his accident and that was the day that I auditioned for the first time ever to be like an artista,” sambit niya.
Chika pa niya, “It was crazy. I didn’t know it was him. There’s an ABS-CBN van and it was, like, smashed.”
“And then I get to my VTR, and then my road manager at the time, he was like, ‘namatay si AJ Perez’. I was like, ‘No! He can’t be dead, it’s not real!’ And then I started crying and I was like, ‘I wanna go to his wake.’ And then my family was like, ‘he doesn’t know you,’” aniya pa.
