Alden Richards on Men Who Matter 2025 trophy: 'Parang nagbubunga 'yung works ko behind the camera'
Alden Richards is among the recipients of the Men Who Matter 2025 by PeopleAsia magazine, and for the Kapuso star, the honor serves as motivation for him to keep pursuing his passions and advocacy work. In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras" Wednesday, the Asia's Multimedia Star shared that he is now in the "legacy building stage" of his life. "Sarap lang sa pakiramdam kasi parang nagbubunga lahat 'yung mga works ko behind the camera," he said. "I'm in my legacy building stage and the question every day that pops in my head is, 'How do you want to be remembered by the people around you?' And that's the reason why I keep on doing what I'm doing." Alden had made his directorial debut in "Out of Order," which premiered at the Da Nang Asian Film Festival in June. The passionate cyclist also recently finished his first-ever gravel cycling race, an experience he called "humbling." "Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na the only thing that matters to me that time was, of course safety is number one, but it was just me, the bike, the terrain, and the finish line. Ang saya, uultiin ko 'yun." And in July, he enrolled in a flight school. Of his aviation journey, he said, "The reason why it's happening to me right now is alam ni Lord one way or another that I'm gonna be able to finish that. I'm taking it one step at a time. Wala akong minamadali." Alden currently balances all these while serving as host of the Kapuso reality dance competition "Stars on the Floor." Per Alden, the people in the show all got to build solid relationships with each other. "Now that we're reaching almost the end, 'di pa po tapos mga Kapuso pero almost the end, medyo may konting melancholic feeling lang, but kaya naman. Malay mo Season 2 no?" "Stars on the Floor" airs on GMA Network every Saturday at 7:15 p.m. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
