Television Career: You're My Foreignoy
In January 2014, Eat Bulaga announced a new segment entitled "You're My Foreignoy". It's a contest for foreigners, who are currently living in the Philippines, with a heart of being like a true Filipino. (Foreigner + Pinoy = Foreignoy)
Richard joined the contest on its second week where he won the daily round. Instantly, he became crowd favorite. He then competed with foreigners from different countries including the rumored ex-boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan, Christian Arno Williams during the second weekly finals. Richard lost to Christian but he won the Dabarkad's Choice Award (People's Choice Award). He trended among the Top Ten on Twitter locally and internationally in every appearance he made during the contest which earned him the nickname "The Trending Boy."
A week before the grand finals, Richard returned to compete for the Wildcard Edition. He battled against Arlen Gaspar from Brazil and won the round. Wildcard winners were called the "Manlalaban" who will face the first, second and third weekly winners.
During the "You're My Foreignoy" grand finals where Gui Adorno won, Richard was once again awarded Dabarkad's Choice Award for having a total of over eight thousand (8000) likes on Eat Bulaga's Facebook poll. This poll clearly showed that he was the most popular among the "foreignoys" that competed in the grand finals.
