  • A proud Kapuso for over a decade:

    Alden Richards is a name that needs no introduction. With an impressive thread of local and international recognitions, box-office hits, top-rating series, and chart-topping albums, the Kapuso actor has proven worthy of his title as Asia’s Multimedia Star.

    Last October 15, Alden renewed his contract with GMA Network, proudly continuing his more than a decade-long journey as a Kapuso.

    “I’m a homegrown Kapuso at isa yun sa pinagmamalaki ko because my dreams came true sa tulong ng GMA. It’s an honor to be part of people’s lives and I get to do it because of GMA,” Alden shares.

    He added that he has always considered GMA his second home. “I’d like to celebrate this kasi every year na nadagdag sa taon ko with GMA is a milestone for me and it made me feel that I am in the right place. Isang malaking karangalan po talaga maging parte ng GMA for 10 years. Here’s to another 10 years and I’m really looking forward po to more beautiful projects and opportunities with the Kapuso network.”

    During the contract signing, top GMA executives showed their full support to Alden via Zoom, video messages, and their presence at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel.

    GMA Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon, President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Films Inc. President and Programming Consultant to the Chairman and CEO Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Senior Vice President for GMA Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategic Planning and Business Development, Concurrent Chief Risk Officer, and Head of Program Support Regie C. Bautista, First Vice President for Drama Productions Redgie A. Magno, First Vice President for Business Development Department III Darling De Jesus-Bodegon, First Vice President for Program Management Jose Mari Abacan, First Vice President and Head of Regional TV and Synergy Oliver B. Amoroso, Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Communications Angela Javier Cruz, Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, Senior Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, Consultant for Business Development Department II of the Entertainment Group Bang U. Arespacochaga, GMAAC Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun S. Ferrer, and GMAAC consultant Johnny Manahan all attended the momentous occasion.

    Also in attendance was The World Between Us director Dominic Zapata.

    Last June, Alden’s Reality: The Virtual Reality Concert earned a finalist slot at the prestigious 2021 New York Festivals (NYF) “World’s Best TV and Films” Competition.

    On top of being a trusted brand ambassador, Alden has been recognized as one of the 10 Most Influential Celebrities of the Decade at the 10th EdukCircle Awards.
    He was recently given a Plaque of Appreciation for his participation in the benefit concert, Awit sa Pandemya, at the 12th Star Awards for Music, and ‘Movie Actor of the Year’ at the recently held 36th Star Awards for Movies by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC).

    Alden is currently gearing up for the return of GMA’s top-rating series The World Between Us on GMA Telebabad on November 15. Fans are also looking forward to his exciting movie team up with fellow Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo.
