"This past year has been the most trying for us," he wrote. Despite being "tasked to be patient," he expressed gratitude for the way they navigated the season, stating that they have grown closer than ever.

The tribute focused heavily on Benjamin's admiration for Chelsea’s character. He highlighted a major realization from their journey: just how strong and resilient she is as a woman.

"I feel so lucky to be the one to share this with you," Benjamin shared, reflecting on his wife's inner strength.

He also shared personal reflections on how he has changed as a partner. Benjamin explained that the year taught him the importance of slowing down and truly hearing her, rather than always trying to provide an immediate solution.

"This year has taught me to slow down, listen, really hear you, and not always try to find the solution for you, but to just BE with you through everything," he said.

Closing his message with a prayer for the future, Benjamin expressed his excitement for the "new season" they are about to enter together.

Benjamin Alves is a highly accomplished Filipino actor and model who has become a staple of the GMA Network. Known for his intellectual approach to acting, he is most famous for his portrayal of Manuel L. Quezon in the critically acclaimed films Heneral Luna and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral, bringing a regal yet human touch to the former Philippine president. In his personal life, Alves recently celebrated a major milestone by marrying content creator Chelsea Robato in early 2024. Beyond his acting career, he is also recognized for being the nephew of legendary actor Piolo Pascual, though he has worked hard to establish his own unique identity in the industry. As of early 2026, he continues to be a prominent figure in Philippine entertainment, starring in the drama series Widows' War in 2024.

As previously reported by KAMI in 2025, Benjamin Alves labeled the LTO’s 90-day suspension of a viral pickup driver as "laughable," arguing that a physical assault deserves much stricter legal consequences. Alves highlighted a stark contrast in how law enforcement treats different social classes, pointing out that those with cars get "show cause orders" while those in poverty face immediate arrest. The actor questioned why it remains a struggle for the working class to be treated with basic respect and dignity regardless of their socioeconomic status.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Alves also publicly denounced the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) suggestion that a P500 budget is sufficient for a family’s Noche Buena, calling it an insult to the working class. The actor highlighted the massive gap between government-issued price guides and the actual daily struggles of Filipinos who are grappling with skyrocketing inflation and stagnant wages. Rather than teaching citizens how to "settle" for less, Alves argued that the government should focus on lowering the cost of living by subsidizing local farmers and improving transportation networks. In a heated social media post, he suggested that discussions on budgeting should be replaced with meaningful reforms, even boldly calling for tax relief until a more transparent method of wealth distribution is established.
