He plays the character of Andrei Alegre, son of matriarch Gloria Alegre, as portrayed by Sylvia Sanchez, who will suffer from memory loss.According to Matt, this role is different from the other gay roles he did in the past in the projects like Must Date The Playboy, Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako, and The Reunion, among others. “Sobrang hirap at saka at the same time, sobrang challenging for me kasi sobrang iba siya sa lahat ng mga ginawa kong gay roles before. Kasi, like before, ‘yung mga ginawa ko for romantic comedy. So ito talaga, heavy drama so talagang kailangan mag-immersion kayo,” he told <a href='http://www.push.abs-cbn.com'>PUSH.com.ph</a>, adding that he would like to undergo further workshops for him to improve his craft more. Matt said he has no problem being given gay roles. He said, “Para sa akin, sobrang challenge accepted kasi sa akin, walang maliit o malaking trabaho talaga. Kung ano ‘yung ibigay, mas grabe ‘yung pag perform. Isa ‘yan sa talagang nakalakihan kong ugali sa pagtatatrabaho kasi para sa akin, lahat blessing.” Aside from being an actor, Matt is also a loving husband and father. According to him, management is key in order to be able to juggle responsibilities well. “Siyempre lahat naman tayo kailangan talaga natin ng time management para magawa ‘yung iba’t ibang uri ng bagay pero siyempre when it comes to family and work, kailangan mo talagang hatiin ‘yung atensyon mo like kung nasa family ka, focus ka sa family. Kung may trabaho ka, eh ‘di focus ka sa trabaho kasi isa ‘yun sa makakapagbalanse tingin ko eh. Kailangan ‘yung family mo, naiintindihan ‘yung trabaho mo and ‘yung work mo, hindi mo dinala sa pamilya mo,” he said.
