Alden Richards Launches Debut Album At The Last Telecast Of 'Party Pilipinas'

ALDEN RICHARDS is launching his self-titled debut album with Universal Records at “Party Pilipinas” today. He’s happy about it but also sad as it’s going to be the last telecast of “Party Pilipinas”. “Hinabol ko po yung launching ng album ko bago matapos ang show kasi ang actual release nito is on May 26 pa sa Trinoma,” he says. “The first single is ‘Haplos’ and other songs in it are ‘Can’t Find a Reason’, ‘Di Mo na Mababawi’, ‘Everytime I See You’ and ‘Sa Aking Tabi’. The album notes will please my fans as it has an article about 101 facts about Alden. We were all surprised sa Party P when we learned last Saturday na ending na pala ng Sunday show where I’m one of the regulars sa Queso Boys. Malaki ang utang na loob ko sa Party P kasi diyan ako nahasang kumanta at sumayaw.”

We tell him he needn’t feel despair as GMA might still include him in the show that will replace Party P in June. Also, he still has his primetime soap, “Mundo Mo’y Akin”, that’s rating so well so it’s been extended for four weeks.

“Natuwa kaming lahat sa cast when we learned extended kami. Kasi, paganda nang paganda ang twists sa show. Dati, passive lang yung character ko, si Jerome, supporting the women, but now, may sarili ng conflicts si Jerome. I put up my own restaurant then Gabby Eigenmann as Ziggy is blackmailing me para layuan si Lauren Young as Darlene while Ate Jolina Magdangal, who I consider my adoptive move, is in prison. Abangan nyo kasi magiging mas matapang na at palaban si Jerome.”

He also has two movie offers to be produced by Marvin Agustin, a rom-com with an older actress from ABS-CBN and a heavy drama. “I was referred by our director in ‘Mundo Mo’y Akin’, Andoy Ranay. But I’m not sure yet kung papayagan ako ng GMA Artist Center to accept it.”
