Warm welcome for Alden from HK OFWs

ALDEN

KAPUSO actor Alden Richards, the other half of the phenomenal AlDub love team and the “Pambansang Bae”, was surprised by the warm welcome he got from the Filipino community here in Hong Kong.

“Hindi ko ini-expect iyong ganung kainit na pagtanggap ng mga Kapuso nating Pinoy sa mga concerts natin,” Alden told Hong Kong News.

Alden was joined by Glaiza de Castro, who plays Sang’gre Pirena in fantaserye “Encantadia”, and comedian Kim Idol, in the “One Fine Day with Bae Alden Richards” held at the Southorn Stadium in Wan Chai on December 18.

“First time ko pong mag-perform dito sa Hong Kong and I am so happy with the results and sana po makabalik ako,” he added.

For 2017, Alden and Maine Mendoza will star in a GMA Primetime soap “Destined to be Yours” and may headline a movie too.

The duo will continue to feature in the “Kalyeserye” segment of “Eat Bulaga!”. Alden will also continue his stint with “Sunday PinaSaya”.

Glaiza, meanwhile, said she felt proud as she saw Filipinos gathering in various parks and streets in Hong Kong that Sunday.

“Nakaka-amaze na how they keep their bond kasi I was told na every Sunday andyan sila. Nakita ko sila on our way to the venue, kasi galing kaming lunch. Nakita ko sila na naka-gather doon sa park at nakakatuwa na they come together here naman for one event,” Glaiza said.

She said that for 2017, “Encantadia” will continue to entertain and surprise its fans.

“Madami pang dapat abangan. Ngayon pa lang nagflo-flourish ang story. For two months nagre-tell kami para doon sa mga hindi nakaabot 10 years ago. Ang takbo kasi ng storya ng ‘Encantadia’ anything can happen, and anyone can die,” she said.
