When Albert suddenly succumbs to a heart attack, they found out during his wake that he has another family. His second wife is Eula Valdez as Olivia and his other sons are Jerome Ponce as Enzo and Nash Aguas as Calvin.
Their leading ladies are Loisa Andalio as Hazel, Elisse Joson as Sabina and Alexa Ilacad as Justine. Also in the cast are John Estrada as Albert’s brother, Liza Lorena as Eula’s mom, Ronnie Lazaro as Mylene’s dad, Jeric Raval, Alex Medina, Kathleen Hermosa, Igiboy Flores, Paul Salas and Ethan Salvador. The first three episodes were previewed to the press, directed by Manny Palo and Andoy Ranay, and the story is very engaging.
Since he plays the title role, is Joshua truly a good son even in real life? “I try to be,” he says. “Galing po ako sa broken family. Hiwalay ang parents ko. Bale ako ang tmatayong breadwinner ngayon. Ako ang nagpapaaral sa sister ko. Kaya nga nagpapasalamat ako sa ABS-CBN sa magagandang projects na ibinibigay nila sa’kin dahil malaking itong tulong para buong family namin. I really try my best na maiparamdam ko sa kanila na love ko silang lahat sa family ko, lalo na sa papa ko na siyang nagpalaki sa amin. Marami kaming pinagdaanan noong hindi pa ako artista at lahat yung nakatulong para matuto kami. Ang father ko ang kasama ko sa bahay at talagang siya ang tumayong tatay at nanay ko.”
He was paired with Loisa Andalio before in PBB 2014 and the soap “Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita” in 2015, but he’s now more identified with Julia Barretto after they starred in two hit movies. Didn’t he feel awkward now that he’s reunited with Loisa?“Wala naman pong problema sa amin. Nandito lang kami para magtrabaho at mag-entertain ng viewers sa ‘The Good Son’. Nilalagyan lang ng tao ng ibang kulay, pero okay kami. We’re friends.”
