Alden back on primetime as Victor Magtanggol

More than a year after his last TV series on primetime, actor Alden Richards is all set to make his big comeback as he headlines the upcoming fantasy series, Victor Magtanggol. 

In an interview in 24 Oras, the 26-year-old star shared what his role is all about. According to him, the character is just a simple man who was given an extraordinary mission.

“Victor Magtanggol was given an extraordinary mission sa buhay na masusukat ang lahat sa buhay niya, pagsubok sa pamilya, pagsubok bilang kapatid, pagsubok bilang kaibigan, lahat,” he shared. 

Alden didn’t think twice accepting the project since he has been dreaming of doing something like this.

“I was happy and excited at the same time because by just reading the script you can already feel the heart of the character,” he said in vernacular.

Since the project is close to his heart, Alden is very involved in the story and is happy to collaborate with the creative team to make it relatable to viewers.

“We are creating a project that is current. We wanted to deliver a timely message to our audience that can serve as an inspiration to them. We wanted to share an aspirational story in which they can learn from,” he said.

He also revealed that the program Victor Magtanggol is full of drama, action and adventure, and mirrors the lives of every Filipino.

“When Victor Magtanggol was given to me, and the character was described, I instantly felt the strong connection. He is a principled man that when a task is given to him he does it with pride and commitment. And that’s how we’d like the viewers to see the character, and we want them to see themselves in Victor Magtanggol,” he ended.
