Alden Richards turns a year older today, January 2, and in honor of his birthday, we're listing down a number of things we love, appreciate, and admire about the Pambansang Bae.
1. He's a versatile actor
Alden is an all-around actor, capable of portraying different kinds of roles. There's that time he played the real-life activist Bonficacio Ilagan in the award-winning Martial Law special docudrama "Alaala" and then there's also his superhero role in the recent GMA primetime fantasy series "Victor Magtanggol."
2. He helps out from the heart
Apart from his talent and good looks, Alden finds meaning in helping out kids and people who are in need. He even spends birthdays on outreach programs and really holds dear his charity work.
3. He is so good with children
There's nothing more adorable than a guy who is good with kids. Seeing how Alden is will Dr. Vicki Belo's daughter Scarlet Snow as well as Dabarkads Baeby Baste always leaves us aww-ing and ahh-ing. Can you imagine Alden as a dad? We know right?
4. He is quite disciplined in maintaining a fun but healthy lifestyle
On Instagram, Alden shares his workout sessions and his fun outdoor activities, making us all aware of how disciplined he is.
5. He's a family man
Despite his busy schedule, Alden never fails to spend time with his family, especially on important occasions. Last Christmas, for instance, he carved out enough time to go on a trip to Japan with them.
6. He's a lola's boy
Being a lola's boy is quite telling of a man's lovability and character, and as such, our hearts swell every time we remember how much of a lola's boy Alden is.
