Alden Richards says entering flight school not his dream alone: 'Meron akong core objective to fulfill my parents' dreams'
Alden Richards is one step closer to becoming a pilot as he marked his first day in flight school — a dream that isn't just his alone, but also his father's. According to Nelson Canlas' report in "24 Oras" Wednesday, the Asia's Multimedia Star attended his flight school's induction ceremony today with his family. "I've always been so curious paano lumilipad ng ganung kalaki at kabigat na sasakyang panghimpapawid tapos of course how it's being navigated sa langit from point a to point b. Paano nakakarating, paano nag-t-take off," he said. According to Alden, he has always been compelled to pursue the dreams of his parents that they weren't able to fulfill. "Since nagkaroon ako ng isip sa mundo parang meron akong core objective to fulfill my parents' dreams na hindi nila natupad in their lifetime," he shared. "And surprisingly, kagaya ng showbiz para sa nanay ko, for me, ito naman dream ni dad for himself and eventually nagustuhan ko na rin." Despite his showbiz commitments, the Kapuso actor is determined to stay the course. "There's no such thing as a busy schedule when you make time and you have time management. Time management is the key. Definitely, this year for ground school, and then tuloy-tuloy na 'to. This will be a two year course and after I graduate, I'm gonna be able to fly a commercial plane," he added. Earlier, Alden shared photos of himself with his family to mark his first day in flight school. "Day 1 starts today..." he wrote on Instagram. Back in April, Alden posted about his visit to a flight school in Clark, Pampanga. In a 2023 interview, Alden had mentioned that he initially wanted to be a pilot, but gave up on it because flight school is expensive. Recently, Alden, along with Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera, joined the relief operations for those affected by the recent typhoons in Bulacan and Quezon City. He is also gearing up for the GMA Gala 2025 on Saturday, which is expected to be a big event as GMA Network marked its 75th anniversary this year. Alden is currently the host of "Stars on the Floor" and described it as the best show he has ever hosted. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

At least 26,000 individuals affected by typhoons and severe weather in Pangasinan received help from GMA Kapuso Foundation. According to "24 Oras," Wednesday, nearly P10 billion in infrastructure damage nationwide was caused by Typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong, as well as the Southwest Monsoon, or Habagat, with over P1 billion of that damage specifically recorded in Pangasinan. Under Silong Kapuso Project, GMA Kapuso Foundation provided roofing materials to homes that had lost their roofs. Among those who received aid were Lola Estrilita, whose original roof was destroyed, forcing her to temporarily use makeshift tin sheets, and Deby Ann Tactaquin, who constructed a small temporary shelter from scattered tin sheets. Relief goods were also delivered to affected residents. "Malaking tulong po itong binigay ng GMA Kapuso Foundation. Hindi po namin akalain na mabibigyan po ang Sual," Sual Pangasinan MSWDO officer Ma. Lourdes Sabido said. Overall, seven Pangasinan towns received help through the program. After this, GMA Kapuso Foundation will head to Benguet and La Union for further aid distribution. For those who are interested to help, GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
