My Take
Alden Richards is proof of how big a star the Philippines can produce. A model, actor, comedian and singer rolled into one, he exploded into fame through KalyeSerye and has been a fixture of Philippine entertainment ever since. What impresses me is the range. Leading-man looks paired with genuine comic timing is a rare combination, and he moves easily between romance and historical action. I think someone of his stature deserves wider recognition beyond Southeast Asia, and I would happily keep following where his career goes from here.
