I dunno but he was okay for me last night. Ang ganda ng diction nya and hindi naman always nasigaw. Ganda ng connection sa co-hosts. Ang gwapo pa. Taas ng engagement din, even gained new fans from thailand and vietnam. #AldenRichards

Alden Richards really did a great job in hosting. Ang consistent ng energy and everyone is talking about his 'nakagugulat' and 'galit' announcement, it was effective. Some people might not like how he host, but he improved a lot. He can attract and hype the crowd. I love it. ?????

The host tonight. I'd love to hear it like a hundred rounds.#ALDENxMUPH2024 #ALDENRichards
