Together with other cast members, Alden Richards will attend the premiere of The Road on May 9 at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California. The actor, who plays a psycho-killer in the GMA Films movie, says this is his first time to go abroad: "It's my first time to go out of the country and hopefully, mag-stay kami do'n for a week, I guess, so talagang ifu-full pack ko na 'yon. Excited, I'm very excited, kasi ang dami kong na-experience na first time since I started showbiz. First time ko nakasakay sa airplane, first time kong nakakapunta sa iba't-ibang lugar here in the Philippines, and now, by first week of May, I'm going to the States."

Aniya pa, "Upon entering showbiz, inisip ko na okay muna sa akin 'yong mga small roles, na okay lang muna na minsan pa-extra-extra sa mga soap and movies.

"Pero God is really good, God is really good na binigyan niya ako ng chance to act in movies, to act in soaps, and ito na nga 'yong The Road, The Road is going to the U. S.

"And 'yong support na nakukuha ko from people outside showbiz is really good also, 'yong 'yong..."

Mariin niyang paglalahad, "Sometimes when I read PEP, I read the comments—parang the next leading man, the next ganyan.

"So a lot of, a lot of positive comments that contribute to my inspiration—so mas, mas... 'yong drive ko to be a better actor, to be a better showbiz personality.

"Talagang I wouldn't, I won't change kung ano 'yong nasimulan ko.

"I would stay the same kasi 'yon 'yong, do'n ako nagustuhan ng mga tao.

"Do'n ako, nila ako sinuportahan kung ano ako before.

"So mas okay to keep your feet on the ground—just stay as you are and don't change."

NEW MOVIE ACTOR OF THE YEAR NOMINATION. Masaya ang tween star na si Alden sa nomination nito sa PMPC Star Awards for Movies, sapagkat maliit lang daw ang kanyang naging papel sa The Road pero napansin ito ng mga kritiko.

"Very proud kasi, first horror film ko 'yon.

"And actually talagang we all did very well do'n sa movie, we received good feedback from different kinds of critics.

"And being nominated parang okay, okay na po sa akin 'yong experience na 'yon kasi, just being nominated is an honor, being recognized by an award-giving body.

"So, so kung manalo man, thank you very much and kung hindi naman, better luck next time, there's always next time," natutuwa niyang pagsagot.

Ang nanalong New Movie Actor of the Year kagabi, Marso 14, sa PMPC Star Awards for Movies ay ang kapwa nito Kapuso star at kaibigan niya na si Rocco Nacino para sa pelikula nitong Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa. (CLICK HERE for related article)

    I must admit that this guy acts really well. It's in him. You can easily discern a great one from a mediocre actor - the former as somebody who doesn't have to scream or cry bucket of tears just to show his/her acting skills; rather, just through body movement, eye contact or tone of voice, the emotion is conveyed well and the audience deeply moved. Alden, if you're able to read this, then congratulations. Likewise, you've earned another male fan. Nowadays, it's rare to find natural-born actors in the Phils. And it's good to see you as belonging to those few. Just keep your feet grounded at all times. Flattery can easily get to the head and bring out the dark side in anybody.
