Alden Richards plans to establish a charitable foundation

By MARY LOUISE LIGUNAS

 

To give thanks for all the blessings he’s been receiving, Alden Richards is concretizing his plan of putting up a foundation of his own. During a thanksgiving party he threw for the entertainment press, he announced that he would like to do it soon.

“Meron po talaga akong plano na hopefully this year din or next year, makapagtayo po ng sarili kong foundation para maging mas malawak po 'yung span and reach po ng pagtulong natin sa mga nangangailangan,” he said.

According to the Kapuso leading man, he can only fully enjoy the fruits of his labor if he’s able to share with those who need it most.

“Naniniwala po ako na kaya po ako binigyan ng ganitong blessing is para mai-share ko po sa iba, hindi po para sarilihin, kumbaga, gamitin mo ng pang-personal kasi mas mararamdaman [ang] worth ng mga dumadating na mga biyaya kapag naibabahagi po [ito]. Kasi ‘pag sa akin lang, empty po. Kulang,” he added.

Alden has been using his influence to share about his faith, even participating in benefit concerts and requesting to add a religious song to his album.
