Alden Richards big winner at PMPC Star Awards

The actor-singer wins two accolades in the music category but didn't attend the event

25 Oct - Although he was absent from the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) Star Awards for Music and Television, Alden Richards was named one of the big winners of the music category that night, alongside singer Darren Espanto.

As reported on Rappler News, the singer, whose album was certified Diamond Record earlier this month, won the awards for Pop Album of the Year and Best Pop Artist – the latter he shared with Espanto, who also won Best Album Cover.
