Alden, may sariling scholarship foundation na
Nice, na may sariling scholarship foundation na si Alden Richard, ang AR Foundation na nakapagpatapos na. “I’m really proud to say na I now have two college graduates,” sabi niya the other day sa ginanap na virtual media conference para sa kauna-unahang docu-concert sa bansa na Forward: Meet Richard Faulkerson, Jr., na magaganap in January 2022.
Ano nga ba ang AR Foundation? “Right now we focus on kids as in anyone na gustong mag-aral. That’s what the Forward concert is all about. All the proceeds will go to the AR Foundation to sustain or acquire more scholars,” paliwanag ng actor na nakatakdang magbakasyon sa Amerika ngayong Kapaskuhan.
Malawak ang plano niya sa nasabing foundation na ngayon ay nasa first stage pa lang daw sila na pagbibigay ng scholarship sa mga kabataan. “May mga future plans kami na kahit papaano maka-establish tayo ng solid grounds for work for them,” banggit pa niya na matagal na palang pangarap na gawin ito.
Pero sa almost perfect life ni Alden, aminado siyang ‘flawed’ din siya in a way. “Of course, syempre all of us are flawed in a way. Sa buhay naman syempre sometimes the good guys are capable of doing bad things and the bad guys are capable of doing good things. Of course, weaknesses are always there but it’s really how you manage them. Meron nga akong gustung-gustong linya sa Dr. Strange (2016), ‘yung kalbo, si Ancient One, ito ang sabi niya ‘We never lose our demons. We only learn to live above them.’ Ganun lang let’s live above all those weaknesses, manage it. And mas magiging maayos ‘yung buhay mo,” banggit pa niya nang tanungin namin kung may weaknesses din ba siya.
Anyway, ang Forward... docu-concert ni Alden ay dinirek ni Frank Lloyd Mamaril at mapapanood sa Jan. 30, 2022 at 8:00 p.m.
