Alden reiterates how these individuals have gone over and beyond their work (they have screened and interviewed a lot of people to be included in this list), and did it expecting nothing in return. In HERO FOR ALL, No small act gets unnoticed. They will make sure to let people know about the acts through several videos that have been personally created by Alden and his team. He will also personally interview them in the videos so if you're excited about that, get to know these heroes by watching them in AR Foundation, C@s!no P|us, Alden Richards Facebook Pages so you get to know them more. I've seen the first episode and true enough, it feels special to watch them and see their stories. It's time you see them and their deeds, hoping you get to be inspired by their work and their stories.
I'm Team Alden all the way!
