THE BILLION-PESO ALLIANCE: Alden Richards, Kathryn Bernardo, and the Secret Takeover of Myriad Corporation

The seismic plates of the Philippine entertainment industry have just shifted, and the aftershocks are being felt from the executive boardrooms of Quezon City to the international film markets. This is no longer just a story of “shippings,” red carpets, or romantic whispers. This is an investigation into a high-stakes corporate merger that has effectively united the two most powerful dynasties in show business.

The headline is sensational, the implications are historic: Alden Richards, Kathryn Bernardo, and the formidable Mommy Min Bernardo have officially joined forces as business partners. The vehicle for this takeover? Myriad Corporation—Alden’s burgeoning empire—which is now fueled by the strategic brilliance and the deep pockets of the Bernardo clan.

The Silent Coup: How Mommy Min Invested in “Myriad”

The investigation begins with a surprising revelation that caught even Kathryn Bernardo herself off guard. For months, Mommy Min Bernardo—the legendary architect of Kathryn’s career—had been operating in the shadows. While the public was focused on the box-office records of Hello, Love, Again, Mommy Min was quietly negotiating a seat at the table of Alden’s production powerhouse, Myriad.

Our sources confirm that Mommy Min didn’t just provide “advice”; she became a primary investor and producer. The sensational “twist” occurred when Kathryn discovered that her own mother was one of the secret producers behind her latest projects with Alden.

“I was surprised,” Kathryn reportedly admitted, though her shock quickly turned into a proud smile.

This was the birth of a Triple Alliance. By merging the creative directing and producing prowess of Alden’s Myriad with the marketing juggernaut and financial stability of the Bernardos, they have created a “Super-Entity” that no network can ignore.

The Network War Ceasefire: ABS-CBN and GMA Plan the “Mega-Project”

The corporate partnership has triggered a rare phenomenon in Philippine television: a total ceasefire between the two giants, ABS-CBN and GMA Network.

Our investigative team has learned that high-level meetings are currently taking place. This isn’t just about a one-off movie; it is about a Strategic Global Content Plan.

The Project: Rumors are swirling about a multi-part international series co-produced by Myriad and the two networks.

The Budget: Insiders suggest the “Pasabog” (explosive) project has a budget that dwarfs any previous local production.

The Goal: To take “KathDen” beyond the diaspora and into the mainstream global streaming market.

The collaboration proves that when the “Queen of ABS-CBN” and the “King of GMA” become literal business partners, the networks have no choice but to follow the money.

“Preparing for the Future”: More Than Just Movies

What makes this alliance truly sensational is the “New Business” sector. Our deep-dive into the partnership suggests that movies are just the beginning. The trio is reportedly scouting properties and “Future Ventures” that suggest a long-term, multi-decade commitment.

Netizens and industry analysts are asking the same question: Is this a business merger or a “Pre-Nuptial” of empires? In the Philippines, when a man and a woman—and the woman’s mother—become “magkasosyo” (partners) in a sole-ownership corporation, it is often a sign of a “Future” that goes beyond the professional. They are building a fortress of wealth that ensures they will never be at the mercy of a network contract again.

The “Individual” vs. The “Together” Pasabog

The strategy for 2026 is clear. While Alden and Kathryn will continue to dominate with individual “Pasabog” movies to maintain their solo brands, the “Big Fish” is their collaborative work under Myriad.

We have uncovered that they are planning a “Private Event” for stakeholders later this year—an event where they will unveil the new face of Myriad Corporation. This is the “Reckoning” for traditional talent management. Why let a studio take a cut when you, your partner, and your “Mommy-Manager” own the production house, the equipment, and the intellectual property?

Final Verdict: The Birth of a New Industry Order

The alliance of Alden, Kathryn, and Mommy Min is the most significant power move in the history of Philippine show business. They have bypassed the middlemen and taken control of the “Means of Production.”

Alden Richards is no longer just an actor; he is a Mogul.

Kathryn Bernardo is no longer just a superstar; she is a Corporate Partner.

Mommy Min is the General who has ensured that the “Bernardo Brand” will live on through a diversified portfolio of film, events, and tech.

The “KathDen” phenomenon has evolved. It is no longer just a romance to be “shipped” on Twitter; it is a Billion-Peso Corporation to be feared and admired. The future isn’t just “coming”—it is already here, and it is owned by Myriad.
