Because of his portrayals in Alakdana, One True Love, My Beloved and Carmela, Alden Richards has shown that he is a versatile actor who outperforms himself project after project. Soon, he will also be co-hosting the talent search Bet ng Bayan which is on the primetime block.

For many fans, the title of Kapuso Primetime Prince rightfully belongs to this young, talented and good-looking actor.

However, Alden doesn’t feel right in claiming any titles for now. His focus is on making sure that he delivers what is expected of him and even exceed it if he can.

“Okay na po sa ‘kin 'yung nag-ta-trabaho lang ako, [yung] ginagalingan [ko] 'yung trabaho and kumbaga, nabibigyan [ko ng] justice 'yung mga ginagampanan mong roles,” he said.

For the young actor, titles should be earned, not claimed. He doesn’t know what the future holds but as of now, he is happy even without a title, as long as he is able to give his A-game in every endeavor.

“Yung title po kasi, hindi po yan para sa ‘kin to claim. It’s for the viewers, the people I’m working with and siguro 'yung mga kabossingan ko, ang puwedeng magbansag [sa ‘kin] niyan. Pero ako, for myself, hindi ko po siya kine-claim kahit kailan,” he shared.
