Alden Richards reveled in the company of the Kapuso in Sydney, Australia kick-starting GMA Pinoy TV’s series of international events for 2018.
Fans of the Kapuso heartthrob from the United Kingdom, United States, and New Zealand flew to Australia for a chance to personally meet and take photos with their idol.
The show, entitled Alden Richards Live in Sydney on Jan. 20 at the Evan Theatre in Panthers Penrith with Betong Sumaya who spiced up the entertainment fare was the first for the popular TV star in the Land Downunder.
Alden and Betong had the chance to meet fellow Pinoys at a press conference before the big event. They also made a courtesy call at the Philippine Consulate General.
In their free time, the two Kapuso stars had the opportunity to explore Sydney and see famous landmarks such as the Bondi Beach, Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, Darling Harbour, and the iconic Sydney Opera House. The pair also attended Sunday service at Hillsong.
Betong, a mainstay in the long-running gag show Bubble Gang, opened the night with a medley of OPM songs and funny anecdotes of his experience in Australia.
The crowd went wild when Alden stepped on the stage, showed off his dance moves, and sang his biggest hits. The Kapuso star expressed gratitude to his loyal fans for their continued support as he closed the show with his heartfelt rendition of “God Gave Me You” dedicated to the Kapuso Abroad.
