March 29 ------ Don’t look now, but award-winning Kapuso star Alden Richards could soon be taking to the skies as a pilot. Alden is renowned for his captivating television performances. But he may soon embark on a new adventure involving flying an aircraft, which adds an exciting dimension to his already impressive career. Fans eagerly anticipate this unexpected development as he prepares for this thrilling journey. 

During a media conference at Viva's main office in Pasig City on March 27, Alden said that he might consider the scholarship offered by an aviation school in Clark, Pampanga. "There's an aviation school in Clark that offered a scholarship for me to become a pilot. Saka ko na idi-discuss kung sino yung nag-offer ng scholarship once it is finalized. But I am excited about that," he said. Alden added that while his mom's dream was for him to be in showbiz, his father dreamt of becoming a pilot. "Personal dream niya actually to become a pilot. Sabi ko sige dad, 58 or 59 ka na. Ako na lang. Hopefully this year, matapos ko na yung course. Lilipad na tayo," said Alden, who has been vocal about becoming a pilot for many years. 

Alden, 33, feels no anxiety or fear about flying. He actually finds the whole process exciting, from boarding the plane to soaring through the clouds and watching the landscape get smaller below him. "Wala akong fear of flying. Nag-sky dive nga ako sa Dubai eh. Mahilig ako sa mataas na lugar. I love to fly. Let's go," the hunk actor said.
