Alden Richards' untold “Plan B” story

Tweet

At a time when kids his age were enjoying their teenage years, Alden was forced to deal with the harsh realities of life after his mother passed away from pneumonia in 2008.

"It happened when I was in high school. Mama got sick. Just like that, she was gone. My world suddenly stopped. Our savings were quickly depleted. I had to quit school to help my family earn a living." -  actor and BDO brand ambassador Alden Richards sadly recalled.

Like many Filipino families who relied solely on their savings, Alden and his family—still reeling from their grief—soon found themselves unable to cope with their daily maintenance expenses and unforeseen financial obligations resulting from the loss of his mom. This life-altering event impressed upon Alden the importance of cherishing every moment with his loved ones. Likewise, it taught him the value of planning and preparing for the future, and to ensure that a well-crafted Plan B for life was in place.

As soon as he started earning from his career, Alden wasted no time in finding an appropriate financial protection program to serve as his Plan B for life. On one of his bank visits, he learned that his BDO branch actually had a BDO Life Financial Advisor who could help him craft a Plan B for his needs.

"I miss you, Mom."

Actor and BDO brand ambassador Alden Richards looks longingly at the picture of his late mother.

Alden’s Plan B for life

"I’m now worry-free because I know my loved ones will be okay even if something happens to me," the award-winning actor said. "With life insurance, your plans will continue no matter what happens," he added, emphasizing that life insurance enables families to look forward to a secure future amid life’s uncertainties.

Alden highlighted the ease in availing of financial protection from BDO Life, thanks to the bank's expansive branch network.

"With BDO Life, it's so convenient. They have financial advisors in BDO branches who are always there for you, finding ways to protect you and your family," he said.

Life’s challenges made easier with a trusted partner

Life insurance should be every breadwinner’s priority. It is just as important as any other basic necessity. If anything happens to you, your life insurance policy ensures that your family will be able to continue the lifestyle that you accustomed them to have. It also allows them to pursue their future aspirations without worry.

“When you realize how the benefits of life insurance help make your family’s plans a reality, then you appreciate that owning one is not an option but a responsibility—one responsibility that is not routinely extinguished because of death,” said BDO Life President and CEO Renato A. Vergel De Dios.

“We are the 'Plan B' called upon to respond when your Plan A fails. Our mission is to deliver a service that provides you peace of mind knowing that life will be made easier and more comfortable for those you very much care for,” he added.

BDO Life helps you navigate life’s challenges with a wide range of insurance products to provide you and your family a secure future.

Start your Plan B with BDO Life today. Just visit the nearest BDO branch and look for the BDO Life Financial Advisor. You can also visit BDO Life’s website at www.bdo.com.ph/bdo-life to explore life insurance solutions and get premium quotes based on your financial goals and budget.

Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards advocates the fight against plastic pollution with Century Tuna Saving Our Seas initiative

Asia's Multimedia Star and Century Tuna Ambassador Alden Richards leads the reef cleanup for the Century Tuna Saving Our Seas Initiative at Anilao in Mabini, Batangas

For the first time ever, Asia’s Multimedia Star and Century Tuna Ambassador Alden Richards dived the seas of Anilao in Mabini, Batangas to join the Century Tuna Saving Our Seas initiative, an advocacy that highlights the importance of preserving the local marine biodiversity and plastic waste management in the country.

Century Tuna Ambassador Alden Richards shows a piece of shoe he found during the reef cleanup.

“I'm not going to scuba dive for leisure but I'm going to scuba dive to help protect the planet and to save our seas,” said Alden pointing out how important it is for celebrities like him to use their platform to influence and amplify the messages on pressing issues including plastic pollution, climate change and other environment concerns.

Century Tuna Ambassador Alden Richards leads the Saving Our Seas initiative with Century Tuna.

The Saving Our Seas program is an initiative of the local canned tuna brand, Century Tuna, that aims to raise awareness about the current challenges that we are facing because of plastic pollution that affects not only marine biodiversity but the human population as well.

Century Tuna recognizes that the Philippines is part of the ‘Coral Triangle’ that is the center of the world’s marine biodiversity which is why the local tuna brand exerts efforts in addressing the ecological challenges that currently affects the Philippine seas.

Century Tuna, through Saving Our Seas, encourages people to join the fight against plastic pollution and become part of the solution to conserving the environment. In partnership with Aling Tindera Waste-to-Cash program by HOPE, an impact organization, communities can collect plastic wastes that they can exchange for an amount of money. The Saving Our Seas project reinforces the Plastic Circular Economy which diverts collected and recycled plastic away from nature.

Alden Richards also revealed that Century Tuna Saving Our Seas is his first environmental advocacy project and that this initiative opened his eyes to the impact of plastic pollution on the ecosystem.

The superstar said, “This is the first and it’s saddening that people still take waste management for granted. Way back, I used to think that throwing a piece of wrapper wouldn’t hurt but when I saw the reef, it made me ask myself what would happen if 10,000 people thought the same? I believe that change starts in you. If you want to see change, be the change you want to see because the things that we take for granted will make an impact on the future generations.”

Century Tuna Ambassador Alden Richards preparing for the Reef Cleanup

Through the Saving Our Seas initiative, Century Tuna hopes to help strengthen the Plastic Circular Economy which entails that all plastics collected and recycled will not leak back into the open environment. In partnership with HOPE, the Saving Our Seas project aims to collect 10 metric tons of plastic this 2023.

“It's really about the cause that made me say yes – a combination of scuba diving and reef cleaning.  I've never done that in this lifetime so I’m very honored. Thank you, Century Tuna for considering me to be a part of this,” said Alden.

Alden Richards encourages the people of Barangay Ligaya to support the Saving Our Seas Initiative.

Alden Richards was joined by Century Tuna executives including Century Pacific Food Inc. Executive Chairman Mr. Chris Po, Director & Treasurer Mr. Leo Po, EVP & COO Mr. Greg Banzon, VP & GM for Branded Tuna Business Mr. Carlo Endaya, HOPE Founder Ms. Nanette Medved-Po and Managing Director Ms. Ilusion Farias, Century Tuna Superbods winners and finalists together with volunteers from the community.

Coinciding with the celebration of Earth Hour, the commencement of the Saving Our Seas initiative was filled with environment-conscious activities including shore and reef clean up, community visit, and the observance of Earth Hour.

Aside from Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards, the newest Century Tuna ambassador Pia Wurtzbach also supports the Saving Our Seas advocacy.
