In the scene, Alfred played Isaac, the long-lost son of Nora’s character, Rebecca. The emotional moment depicted Isaac’s heartbreaking homecoming, only to find that his mother could no longer recognize him.
“This scene was taken from one of Ate Guy’s last ever films, PIETA. I played, Isaac, her long ‘lost’ son. When Isaac finally returned home he was greeted by a mother who couldn’t remember anything anymore. Instead of surprising his mother, he ended up the one being surprised… for the wrong reasons,” Vargas wrote.
He described the scene as both painful and loving, saying, “Painful because Rebecca… couldn’t recognize her son at all. Loving because she still showed how much she cared for and loved her son despite the incomprehensible situation.”

Alfred called working with Nora one of the greatest honors of his life, sharing that she taught him valuable lessons not just as an actor, but as a person.
“You have taught me so much without saying anything and you have inspired me tremendously by mentoring me through our scenes together. PIETA will always be one of the most special and favorite films I’ve done my entire life because of you,” he said.
He also reflected on what he called the most important lesson he learned from her: “TRUE STARS SHINE BECAUSE OF THEIR HUMILITY AND GENEROSITY IN EVERYTHING THEY DO AND WHOEVER THEY MEET. Sayo ko naramdaman ito nang sobra, Ate Guy.”
Alfred ended his tribute by thanking Nora Aunor for accepting him and allowing him to experience the greatness of “the ONE AND ONLY SUPERSTAR that we will ever have.”
“Rest in peace, Ate Guy. Mahal na mahal kita,” he wrote.
