Time flies, they say, when you’re having fun. And this old adage does seem to hold true for Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, who couldn’t quite believe that they will already be celebrating the first anniversary of their phenomenal AlDub love team on July 16. So, despite his incredibly hectic schedule these days, Alden vowed to make time for that momentous day. “That’s when everything started. Maine and I are very excited… Things went by very quickly, and we’ve never thought we would reach one year,” Alden told reporters at a press conference for TechnoMarine watches, one of the many endorsements he had snagged since the onset of the AlDub fever. MANILA, Philippines – Alden Richards is one busy man. And visibly so, as Alden appears on TV every day via shows like Eat, Bulaga! and Sunday Pinasaya, as well as on numerous TVCs, campaigns and billboards. Come July, not only will he be starring with love team partner Maine Mendoza in their first solo starrer Imagine You and Me, but he will also be launching his own book, published by Summit Media. He is also working on his second album under GMA Records, a follow-up to his 2015 five-time platinum album Wish I May. Despite his hectic schedule, Alden has no complaints at all. “Medyo round-the-clock yung schedule ko lately, and then on weekends, I still work. But what matters to me is I like what I’m doing and I’m having fun with it because I’ve been giving security to a lot of people, especially my family,” says Alden during a presscon at the Mezzanine Bar of B Hotel, launching him as the product ambassador for the Swiss watch brand TechnoMarine. Alden Richards's wish for the future: 'I would want it to be like this pa rin. Kumbaga, a stable job, I'm able to provide for everyone.'
'Kung akala nila naisiwalat ko na ang buong pagkatao ko sa showbiz, this book is really something personal,' says Alden Richards about his book, which will be released next month.

There’s a concept in animation called the “uncanny valley”: as a character increases in human likeness, so do the feelings of familiarity and empathy towards it. Mapped out as a graph, that emotional response is a line on an upward trajectory. But the “uncanny valley” is the sharp dip that the line takes right before the point of ordinary human appearance: it represents the discomfort people feel towards a subject that appears almost—very close to, but not quite—real. Nobody in PeopleAsia was surprised when Alden Richards (along with Maine Mendoza) was hailed as the “People’s Choice” awardee for this year. But everyone in the team was definitely ecstatic. After all, the newly crowned Prince of Noontime TV has finally come to claim his rightful place in the pages of the magazine.
Alden Richards on showbiz titles: “It’s not the title but what kind of person you are that counts.”10/30/2015 Alden Richards still overwhelmed by his popularity: 'Nakakakilabot po siya. Kahit ako po, the management, family ko po, hindi makapaniwala na nangyayari na sa amin ‘to. So, basta tuluy-tuloy lang po ang pagpapakababa kasi, the more po na inaangat po kayo ng mga tao, all the more na dapat yung paa mo, nasa lupa.'
