Alden Richards has proved that being focused and patient in achieving his goal leads to a positive result. He first got public exposure by joining various contests and male pageants in his hometown Laguna with the help of his discoverer and former manager.
In the entertainment world, the phrase “utang na loob” or gratefulness is very important and is the usual cause of many misunderstandings and squabbles among managers and stars. In many cases, when an actress or actor decides to make a career move and changes his or her manager or management, that person will be accused of being ungrateful.
Take the case of Alden who is under careful scrutiny when news broke out that he is ungrateful to his discoverer. In recent articles published in Bandera and Hataw, it was reported that Alden blocked his discoverer on social media and even ‘unfriended’ the latter on Facebook.
Alden’s ex-manager/discoverer was also the one who discovered Liza Soberano who is now being handled by Ogie Diaz. The former manager and Liza parted ways on good terms and the two have remained friends. With Alden, it’s a different ball game.
At this point, Alden and his former manager have not issued any statement to clear this issue. People can only speculate that the ‘Pambansang Bae’ hates his ex-manager and discoverer. Otherwise, why block the latter on social media?
