Alden Richards was among the celebrities who were recognized at the 11th EdukCircle Awards.
According to Sparkle GMA Artist Center on Monday, the Asia’s Multimedia Star was honored with the Most Influential Celebrity of the Year award during the recent awarding ceremony.
The Kapuso actor also shared Sparkle’s post on his Instagram Stories.
Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera also took home the Most Influential Celebrity of the Year award. The Kapuso Royal Couple was present at EdukCircle’s awarding ceremony, where they shared about the responsibility that comes with the recognition and being an inspiration to the youth.
For Alden, the award is an addition to his long line of accolades. Back in August, he also received the Men Who Matter 2025 trophy from PeopleAsia magazine.
Per the actor, the recognition is “another motivation to do more and be more.”
He also recently marked his directorial debut with “Out of Order,” which is now available for streaming on Netflix. The film premiered at the 2025 Jagran Film Festival in India in September and was featured in the competition section of Vietnam’s Da Nang Asian Film Festival in July.
In September, “Hello, Love, Again,” Alden’s film with Kathryn Bernardo, won the Bronze Award for Best Asian Feature Film/Telemovie and the Viewers’ Choice Award under the Favorite Movie category at the ContentAsia Awards 2025.
While he juggles flight school, cycling, and running, Alden is also committed to his advocacy work, which includes education and literacy among the youth, and the rights and welfare of movie workers as a board member of the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation (Mowelfund).
Alden is currently the host of “Stars on the Floor,” which is set to air its final dance battle on October 18.
