Alden Richards meets his lookalike, a viral priest from Pangasinan

Alden Richards has finally met his lookalike, a priest from Pangasinan, and the resemblance is uncanny!

Fr. Joseph Panaligan first caught the internet's attention in January 2018, when a photo of him baptizing a baby went viral.

Netizens couldn't help but notice his good looks, and his resemblance to Asia's Multimedia Star.

But according to Luane Dy's report in Unang Balita on Friday, the two had a deeper connection than just their looks.

Apparently Eat Bulaga, in the name of the phenomenal love team AlDub, donated a library to the community of Urbiztondo, Pangasinan, and it was built in Fr. Joseph's parish.

Because of this, the priest has always wanted to meet Alden so he could thank him in person.

Recently, Fr. Joseph finally got his chance and was able to visit Alden during taping.

He even gave Alden a hundred-year-old image of the Sto. Niño, and a history book of Nuestra Señora Dela Salud.

"Nakakatuwa kasi yung value niya is more than anything else, it's priceless and binigay nila Father sakin to as a gift. Mas nakaka-motivate gumawa ng mabuti sa buhay," Alden said.

His lookalike meanwhile couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

"Overwhelming, masaya syempre sa pagkakataon na makaharap, at maibigay ang regalo kay Alden," Fr. Joseph said. "Sana maranasan niya 'yung tunay na kaligayahan na nagmumula sa tunay na regalo sa buong mundo, ang ating Panginoong Hesus."
