On March 22, Kapamilya artist Aljon Mendoza admitted that he’s “flattered” when people compare him to Joshua Garcia and John Lloyd Cruz because of his portrayal in the series Teen Clash.
At the set visit for Teen Clash in Quezon City, Mendoza attributed the positive feedback for his portrayal to the team behind the series.
“Nafla-flatter po ako. Siyempre ano po ‘yun, compliment po ‘yun. Talagang everytime pinupuri nila ako sa trabaho ko. Yes, po talagang tinutukan po kami talaga dito and nag-workshop kami. And may mga takes na, halimbawa, feeling nila Direk, pwede pa naming–maging better ‘yung kinalabasan, kakausapin kami, and ia-adjust ‘yung acting. So collaboration po siya.”
He then described the red carpet event for the iWantTFC series as a dream come true.
“Ako po sa akin, dream come true siya. Sabi ko rin po ‘yun sa speech ko na parang pinakilala kami doon sa screening. Kasi, parang ang tagal ko na siyang iniimagine at pinapangarap na aattend ako sa sarili kong screening, ‘yung project ko, papanoorin ko sa sinehan, with di ba, ang daming taong nanonood tapos kasama pa namin ‘yung boss. and ‘yung mga kasama ko sa show.”
He also reiterated that he felt proud working with the cast and the director.
“Nakaka-proud siya. Proud ako sa aming lahat, kasi nakita sa output kung gaano namin siya pinaghuhusayan talaga. At siyempre si Direk, may mga scene kami na hindi ko alam na ganon pala ‘yung magiging kinalabasan, kasi ang ganda ng edit din, ng pagkaka-Direk, so hindi lang talaga siya amin, pero team work siya ng buong production.”
