Alden Richards hailed by Esquire Philippines as 'Entertainer of the Year'

Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards is ending 2022 with a bang, after Esquire Philippines recognized him as the Entertainer of the Year.

The award-winning actor, businessman, and bankable endorser was described by Esquire as a multi-hyphenate celebrity.

“The consummate entertainer, Richards has made it his life mission to become a multi-hyphenate. At this point in his career, he's ready to start focusing on influencing the next generation of artists.”

The Start-Up PH actor will soon mark his 11th anniversary in showbiz in December. In his exclusive interview with Esquire Philippines, Alden stated that he is more intrigued by what happens behind-the-camera at this point in his career.

He explained, “For the 11 years I've been in the industry, lagi lang ako nandito sa harap so what really (piques) my curiosity is what's really happening behind. How to be a producer. How to be a director. How to be someone to mount a show.”

Meanwhile another Kapuso personality, GMA Integrated News anchor and documentarist Atom Araullo was also honored by Esquire Philippines after awarding him the recognition of “Journalist of the Year.”
