Kapuso star Alden Richards has joined the growing chorus of voices condemning corruption in the Philippines, stressing the devastating impact it has on ordinary citizens. In a video interview with MJ Marfori, shared on TikTok, the actor spoke passionately about how the issue goes beyond personal finances and is ultimately about the suffering of the Filipino people.

The actor-director expressed anger at how corrupt officials live in comfort while countless Filipinos lose their loved ones, homes, and livelihoods in the wake of disasters and calamities. He emphasized that his outrage stems not from personal inconvenience but from witnessing how corruption directly robs citizens of safety and dignity.

Alden also highlighted that while systemic change will take time, collective action is necessary to ensure that the fight for accountability is never forgotten.

“It’s not really about me paying a lot of taxes, it’s when I see people suffering.

Dun ako galit na galit. Itong nga corrupt na to, nakakatulog kayo sa aircon, sa malalaking bahay. Tapos yung mga tao, pag bumaha, pag may nangyaring calamity, ultimo family members nila at buhay nila nawawala!

How dare them? Kaya nila yon? That’s why I’m all for the movement against corruption.

Maybe hindi agad agad, it will be for a long time because it’s systemic already. Pero kailangan may gumagalaw, wag natin hayaan na mabaon sa limot.”
