Former Eat Bulaga host Alden Richards admitted that he had received an invitation to appear on a certain noontime show but refused to accept it.
In an interview, Alden narrated that he was offered to appear on the said program on July 1 during the heat of the competition between E.A.T, Eat Bulaga, and It’s Showtime.
According to him, he decided to show ‘delicadeza’ by not appearing on the said program, which is considered one of the competitors of the newest noontime show of his former colleagues.
Fortunately, GMA Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes respected the decision made by Alden.
Alden refused to disclose if he was referring to Eat Bulaga or It’s Showtime, which currently both air under GMA Network.
He said that he would only accept appearing on shows competing with TVJ if he needed to ‘promote’ some of his projects, but not as a guest or a regular host.
“If it’s about promo, ok po pero as a guest and regular host, baka hindi po muna kasi yung puso ko po is with the Dabarkads. Tahimik lang ako all throughout the issue, hindi po ako nakikisawsaw pero by the time kasi na natanong ako about my relationship with TVJ, syempre sinabi ko po yung piece ko.” said Alden.
“Hindi naman po ako plastik. Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin na wala kaming pinagsamahan ng Dabarkads before. Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin na dahil wala na sila sa GMA, I let go of things that we have shared all throughout those seven years.” he added.
It can be recalled that Alden also said that it’s also uncertain for him to reunite with the Dabarkads on television because of his current contract with GMA.
