Alfred Vargas is one of those people whose lives have been forever touched after working with Ate Guy in the movie, "PIETA". A critically acclaimed movie directed by Adolf Alix Jr. in 2023.
Alfred Vargas’ tribute to Ate Guy:
"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. Pieta is a story about love, family, truth, mistakes and forgiveness.
This was a painful but loving scene at the same time. Painful because Rebecca, Nora Aunor's character, the mother of Isaac, 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.
Ate Guy, working with you has been one of the greatest honors of my life. As an actor and as a human being you have touched my heart. 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 l've done my entire life because of you.
The most important lesson I learned from you is that: 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.
Maraming salamat dahil tinanggap mo ako sa puso mo at nagkaroon ako ng chance to work at makilala ang ONE AND ONLY SUPERSTAR that we will ever have!
Rest in peace, Ate Guy A A A Mahal na mahal kita."

Alfred added, “As a tribute to our one and only SUPERSTAR, I’m planning to show PIETA in selected SM Cinemas nationwide, for free, later this year. Para mapanood ng Noranians ang isa sa mga pinakahuling obra ni Ms Nora Aunor!
Rest in peace, Ate Guy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Mahal na mahal kita.”
