BENJAMIN ALVES was last seen on TV in “I Heart Davao” and he’s glad that after that, he’ll now be seen on the big screen in the movie “Spirit of the Glass 2, The Haunted”, where he is paired with last year’s Bb. Pilipinas Universe, Maxine Medina. “This is an ensemble movie and I enjoyed working with the rest of the big cast, along with Cristine Reyes, Janine Gutierrez, Daniel Matsunaga, Ashley Ortega and Enrico Cuenca,” he says. “This is about a barkada na nagbakasyon sa isang lumang bahay, nakakita roon ng ouija board na pinaglaruan na, without knowing na yun ang magbubukas sa isang portal na magiging dahilan kung bakit maraming scary things na mangyayari sa movie.”
Off cam, his relationship with Julie Ann San Jose is going strong even after they got some bashing when they officially admitted their relationship. “Basta happy kami. The bashing started to come when Julie and me came out out in public. At the start, nagagalit ako and I feel hindi basta dapat
bina-bash si Julie or us. Kasi kahit sinong mahal mo sa buhay, hindi mo hahayaang mabastos. But then paulit-ulit lang naman yung mga sinasabi nila, nang-iinis sila, so I made it a point na huwag na lang pumatol sa ganun. You don’t even need to read it so you won’t react to it. Ignore na lang or i-block mo para mas tahimik ang buhay mo.”
