In an exclusive interview, Richard expressed his gratitude over his warm welcome into the GMA family.

"I actually can't believe it kasi parang a year ago or a few months ago parang this was not even possible I think.

"Now that I'm already here, I'm really grateful to GMA for betting on me na when at this time of pandemic ang daming ibang stations that are letting go of people. There are so many people losing their jobs. I guess I'm just so lucky to be accepted and to be a part of GMA.

"There were a few offers for me before already and I was really curious to try it out. It just so happen na hindi nagtugma 'yung schedules.

"I have friends also in GMA. So, parang I was really curious kasi they were so happy with being a Kapuso. That's what got my interest na parang we could find another na pwede pala nating mapuntahan," he said.
