Alden Richards speaks up about the recent corruption issue
Asia’s Multimedia Star Alden Richards asked for help to find the kids featured in a video calling out the alleged corruption in the government’s flood control projects.
These recent weeks, netizens and the general public have been voicing their views and opinions regarding the alleged anomaly in flood control projects that led to flooding in many areas in the country, especially in Luzon.
This prompted the government to tackle the projects that were supposed to address the issue. President Bongbong Marcos mentioned the names of the companies allegedly involved in corruption.
The Facebook post shared by Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto featuring his 2025 elections opponent, businesswoman Sarah Discaya, flaunting her 38 luxury cars, also triggered a conversation about “nepo babies” who were allegedly gaining from their families’ involvement in flood control projects.
With this, netizens have been digging into the “lavish lifestyles” of influencers and social media personalities whose families are in the construction business.
A video went viral featuring two unprivileged kids, who started working at an early age to make ends meet. The second part of the video showed an influencer flexing her luxury bags and shoes, and a clip from Sarah Discaya’s vlog showcasing her luxury vehicles.
Alden Richards shared this on his Instagram Story and wrote this caption, “Gising na, sobra na.“
A fan page on X, formerly Twitter, thanked the Kapuso star for speaking up about this pressing issue. Alden replied to the netizen. He asked for help to locate the two kids in the video.
Netizens who commented on this showed that the boy in the video was featured in Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho four years ago, while the girl was featured in the same show 2 months ago. In the said features, KMJS shared contact details that people can contact if they want to extend help.
Many netizens also expressed admiration for Alden Richards‘s gesture. Here are some comments.
