Alden Richards on upcoming fan meet: ‘We want it to be immersive, it’s an event of feeling’

Alden Richards is gearing up for his 15th anniversary show, the ARXV: Moving ForwARd fan meet, which he promises will be an emotional and immersive experience for his fans.

According to Aubrey Carampel’s report on “24 Oras,” Tuesday, the show will be held at his hometown venue, Sta. Rosa Sports Complex.

“We want it to be immersive. We want them to–it’s an event of feeling. We want them to feel all sorts of things, the hardships of my journey in the past years, and of course the happy moments as well, the successful moments because ‘yung mga taong involved do’n, ‘yung mga taong pupunta do’n, parte sila no’n,” Alden said.

Ahead of the show, Asia’s Multimedia Star graced the Financial Education Stakeholders Congress organized by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, where he joined a panel to share his learnings on financial literacy.

“It’s a very happy experience for me because parang right now nga that we are at the giving back stage, gusto kong nakakapag-share ng knowledge based on experience,” Alden said.

He also offered practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

“Kailangan, siyempre, bago ka mag-start ng negosyo, ready ‘yung capital mo. Of course, you’re very much knowledgeable kung ano man ‘yung papasukin mo,” he said.

He also stressed the importance of proper documentation when going into partnerships.

“Hindi porke’t kaibigan mo o family member, I mean for the protection of both parties, everything should be in paper,” Alden said.

In October, the Kapuso star was named among the Most Influential Celebrities at the 11th EdukCircle Awards. He also received the Men Who Matter 2025 trophy from PeopleAsia magazine back in August. 

ARXV: Moving ForwARd is happening on December 13.
