Pambansang Bae Alden Richards has reached another milestone in his music career.
Alden was awarded the prestigious Diamond Record (10x platinum) award and a 9x platinum award yesterday in his Sunday noontime show, “Sunday PinaSaya.”
In a lengthy status on Instagram, Alden said, “Never in my life have I imagined that I’d record songs and release albums. This is more than what I asked for, sabi ko nun “kahit mag gold lang kuntento na ako”, sometimes faith really does it’s magic for you when you believe. GOD really works in unimaginable ways.
To everyone who made this possible maraming salamat po sa inyo especially to my supporters Aldenatics, Alden International, Alden United, Alden Phillipines, Simply Alden and “ALDUBnation” and all the chapters here and abroad and all the fans club out there and to every single person who supported me, maraming maraming maraming salamat po.
I hope this serves as an inspiration to everyone who dreams to venture into music.
Don’t be afraid, faith in yourself, in the people who believe in you and faith in the Lord is all you need.
Happy Sunday everyone maraming maraming salamat po sa inyo! 💿”
The last OPM artist to receive such an award is another Kapuso artist – Julie Anne San Jose in 2014.
