Alden Richards recently revealed that the romantic comedy series Love, Siargao was a special project for him.

In an interview with Viu Philippines, Asia's Multimedia Star shared that he instantly said yes to the series when it was first offered to him.

"When it was offered to me kasi si Nadine [Lustre] agad 'yung binanggit sa akin nila ni Ms. Garlic and of course, the Viu team. I said yes, regardless na wala pa 'yung concept, actually," he said.

Despite not knowing the full concept, he already knew that the project would be Love, Siargao.

"Sabi ko nga, ang perfect lang nung combination kasi si Nadine is taga-doon. And mas magiging maayos 'yung storytelling because we really have a local's perspective, and aside from that, kasama siya sa cast," he added.

The Kapuso actor admitted that having Nadine as his partner in the series, along with the island setting, were among the reasons he instantly said yes to the project.

"I think doon pa lang sa aspect na 'yun, made me say yes already, and also, it's my first time working with Viu," he explained.

"Ayun na e, it's really a matter of something that I have never done before. I have never shot a project on an island. Hindi pa ako nagkaroon ng role na island boy," he continued. "What's not to like about Love, Siargao? For me, nothing."

Catch Alden in Love, Siargao every Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m. on Viu Philippines.

Alden is also set to star in the upcoming medical drama series Code Grey soon on GMA.
