Alden celebrates birthday by treating fans to theme park and concert
Alden Richards turned a year older last January 2 and to celebrate his birthday, he gathered his loyal supporters and treated them to a fun day at Enchanted Kingdom last January 6.
It was actually Alden’s idea to spend a special day with his fans. He came up with the concept last November 2017 and he was so hands-on with everything he even attended all the pre-production meetings.
The fans all had a great time. Apart from enjoying the rides in the theme park the whole day wearing personalized blue shirts with “One Fun Day with the Bae” printed on them, they also got up close and personal with the Pambansang Bae, taking selfies with him and basically bonding with him.
In the evening, Alden’s fellow GMA Artist Center stars had a concert. Bea Binene, Kristoffer Martin, Rodjun Cruz, and boybands T.O.P. (Top One Project) and One Up all performed song numbers and had nothing but good words for the birthday boy.
“Si Alden, kahit sobrang busy niyan, isang tawag lang, andiyan ‘yan,” shared Kristoffer.
Rodjun added, “Kapag hindi siya sumasagot, isa lang ang ibig sabihin nun – may trabaho siya. At pagkatapos na pagkatapos niya dun, umasa ka na siya mismo ang tatawag sa’yo.”
Bea also reminded the audience just how family-oriented Alden has always been by sharing that time when the actor was about to buy a car. She thought he would choose a good-looking two-door car, but he instead chose a four-door. “Sabi niya, mas magagamit daw ng pamilya niya kung four-door car ang bibilhin niya,” she said.
Alden Richards surely started the year right – by showing his appreciation for his loyal fans, who are sure in for a treat this 2018 considering all the exciting projects of the Pambansang Bae.
Currently, Alden is in Australia preparing for his upcoming show, this time with the Kapuso abroad, on January 20 at the Evan Theatre in Panthers Penrith, Australia. Through the exclusive media sponsorship of GMA’s flagship international channel GMA Pinoy TV, he is also joined by Kapuso comedian Betong Sumaya in the show, dubbed “Alden Richards Live in Sydney”.
