On May 30, Asia’s Multimedia Star Alden Richards addressed the ongoing questions about his sexuality.
During his interview with the showbiz news reporter and talent manager Ogie Diaz, Richards asserted that he chooses not to answer questions about his sexuality, noting that he has nothing to prove.
“Hindi ko po siya ina-address kasi feeling ko wala naman po akong kailangan patunayan sa part na ‘yon. Mas okay na okay lang, tuloy lang nila. Sanay naman na po ako diyan. Pero ako, to myself, alam ko kung saan ako papunta… Mag-12 years na po, hindi namatay ‘yan eh.”
He then clarified that he wouldn’t use another person to quash the speculations from people.
“Nasanay na lang din po ako kasi siguro it’s really how I see myself. Kilala ko po ang sarili ko, kilala po ako ng mga tao sa paligid ko, matagal ko na silang kasama. Ayoko naman po na para tumahimik ‘yung issue na ‘yun, is gagamit ako ng ibang tao para lang matapalan ‘yung issue kasi kawawa naman ‘yung tao. Hindi po kasi ako gan’un.”
He then revealed his plans to have his family and settle down at 35.
“Nasa plano ko po ang magkapamilya. Yung mga babies po, gustong-gusto ko magkaroon talaga, sobra.”
He recently starred in the Philippine adaptation of the beloved Korean series Start-Up PH with Bea Alonzo. He also recently hosted the Miss Universe Philippines 2023.
As for his upcoming projects, he disclosed earlier that he has hosting gigs and a movie lined up for 2023.
