“Nakakatuwa kasi sabay naming dini-discover the partnership that we have and who knows where that will take us.”
Asia’s Multimedia Star and one of the most in demand actor and endorser in the Philippines, Alden Richards becomes the first brand ambassador of shawarma restaurant The Hungry Pita.


The Hungry Pita is thrilled to announce its partnership with Asia’s Multimedia Star, Alden Richards, as its newest brand ambassador. The dynamic partnership is one giant stride for the company in its ongoing aggressive journey of expansion and innovation, ready to bring its signature pita recipes to more Filipino foodies across the country.
What’s Alden’s reaction being the brand ambassador of Hungry Pita?
Prior to the shoot, tinikman na namin siya. And what I really like about the product, it’s very friendly – when I say friendly when it comes to the taste, when it comes to how it is packaged, when it comes to the demand of the consumer, nasasagot ni Hungry Pita ang lahat ng requirements. And when it comes to food business, I think isa sa mga dapat kino-consider ng mga business owners is the quality, consistency and the taste, and all of that, meron ang Hungry Pita. I’m just really happy and really excited kung ano pa ‘yung mga milestones na pwedeng ma-reach ni Hungry Pita ngayon na we have this kind of partnership. So, I think malayo pa ang mararating ng brand when it comes to the food business.
What made Alden say yes to The Hungry Pita?
“Kasi they never had any brand ambassadors before. Parang nakakatuwa kasi na sabay namin madi-discover ‘yung partnership that we have and who knows where that will take us. And I’m just very excited and blessed kasi they’re both very good people. Mabait sa tao, mabait sa staff, I saw how they are during our shoot. 117 branch, ‘yung magandang pamamalakad ng mga may-ari, I’m a fan of that. I’m a fan of people who have good hearts, good intentions, good business for consumers and people that are close to them.”
What’s the secret to a stable business for Alden?
“Know your craft more than anything. More than the money, mas okay na mas marami kang alam kesa mas marami kang pera kasi money will follow if you have knowledge. Make sure you know it by heart. Of course, you can get mentorship from other people pero iba pa din ‘yung ikaw mismo ang nakakaalam kasi I think that’s they key for consistency and longetivity in the business.”
