Alden, who has been with the brand since 2015, will help raise awareness of RMHC’s programs and fund-raising initiatives.
“Ang duties ko talaga dito is gawing public knowledge ‘yong RMHC for the kids especially, for education and for housing,” he said.
He encourages children to read as early as possible.
“Study shows daw na pag ‘yong kids guma-graduate ng first grade and ‘di pa marunong magbasa, that’s the start of the deterioration of interest ng mga bata to finish schooling,” Alden said.
The Kapuso actor also shared he’s been doing live storytelling for quite some time now in other gatherings.
“I always enjoy being with kids. Mahilig ako sa bata,” he said.
RMHC is a global organization that aims to make a difference in the lives of children through programs that support the need for shelter and education. It launched in the Philippines in 1995. — BM, GMA News
