- He was welcomed by the ABS-CBN Executives
- The unusual meet up trended on social media
“Medyo surreal.” This was what Alden Richards said when he set foot in the ABS-CBN compound on June 25, Tuesday. He was accompanied by his newest leading lady Kathryn Bernardo on his visit to the network giant to promote their upcoming movie.
“Welcome to ABS-CBN,” Kathryn told Alden.
The Kapuso actor then expressed his thoughts about visiting the network.
“Medyo surreal na nandito ako ngayon. Nandito kami ni Kath to shoot mga video plugs and ‘yung mga digital shoot,” Alden said.
Afterwards, with Kathryn taking the lead, the two went on to the Star Cinema office to have themselves blessed by a priest and also to pray for the success of their upcoming movie Hello, Love, Goodbye during a mass.
The said movie is the first project of the tandem. Kathryn often stars with real-life partner Daniel Padilla, while Alden is one-half of the phenomenal AlDub tandem alongside Maine Mendoza.
