Alden Richards says no to politics—for good

BOX office king Alden Richards has no plans to enter politics.

In an interview, Alden said he can help people without holding a government position.

“If the question is running for politics, for now, ayaw ko po,” he said.

“For now?”

“Baka po for good,” the Kapuso actor stressed.

Alden admitted that he has received multiple offers to run for office but has politely declined all of them.

“Lagi ko pong sinasabi, even though there’s a lot of clamor for me to run for politics, I can help people without being part of the government,” he said.

“It’s not because ayaw ko siya dahil mayroon akong mga hindi maganda [na naririnig] about the system. It’s not about that. The platform that I have right now is more than enough to reach out to people who are in need,” Alden explained.
