ALDEN Richards believes everyone deserves a “reward system” in life. When asked what he thought about the “deserve ko ‘to (I deserve this)” mindset, the 31-year-old Kapuso star shared: “We need a reward system sa buhay natin. Kumbaga, we work hard, we always have to treat ourselves every now and then. So, I think, ‘pag sinasabi na deserve ko ‘to and then you buy something for yourself, I think it’s all worth it, I think you deserve it!

“No matter who you are, where you are from or what you do, kung talagang you know in yourself na after you have purchased this certain thing — it doesn’t matter naman kung material, minsan you treat yourself to a vacation — parang (you use it as your) drive to work hard even further. If that continues, in a systematic kind of way (not impulsive), in your life, ‘di ka mabu-burnout, ‘di ka mawawalan ng gana sa buhay mo.”

Alden’s idea of rewarding himself nowadays is staying home and playing video games, having a massage, spending time for her interview, and obtained her immigrant visa and green card.
