Exactly six years ago today, on April 17, 2011, shocking news broke that the industry lost matinee idol AJ Perez to a car crash. The then 17-year old actor came from a regional show when the accident happened. It can be recalled that during his last performance onstage, he serenaded a fan whose name was exactly the same as his mother’s – Maria Victoria. As a young actor, AJ appeared in several Kapamilya programs and was known for his boy-next-door looks and wholesome image, often likened to the late Rico Yan.
If he survived, AJ would have been 24 years old today.
