The year 2020 can be said to collectively be the most grueling and uncertain episode in our lives, and while others find temporary solace in jesting that this year doesn't count, Alden Richards made it his year.
When the new year arrives, people get rosy-eyed with the notion of a fresh start and a reset, of conquering challenges and navigating self-discoveries. But early in 2020, this state of hopefulness was immediately smeared when the COVID-19 crisis broke into a pandemic. And no matter how much of a prepper you are, we bet this global health emergency caught you off guard.
For the majority of the year, we were forced to shelter at home, call off our plans and schedules, reconsider our routines, and even spend time away with our loved ones. Celebrities were no exemption, and the entertainment industry received one of the hardest hits when, for a time, their work was deemed non-essential.
This might have felt like a major blow for Alden who has set his eyes on 2020 far in advance as he anticipated the celebration of his 10th year in show business.
Like any other person did, the Asia's Multimedia Star had to take one step back, reflect, and reevaluate his game plan. But, he made sure to stick to his goals, albeit in a different approach.

From his fitness to his hobbies, from his business to his career, and from building communities and giving back to his supporters, Alden surely made more milestones to make this year nothing less than unforgettable.
