Let me start this off with a few thoughts I have in my mind about the real score between Richard and Nicomaine, in reference to the general theme of discussions in the comments sections all over my blog. I will not claim infallibility because as with others, this is also just an expression of personal estimations. Time will tell whether or not we judged right. In the meantime, we can only speculate to feed our inner romanticism, or realism, depending on our inclinations.
Be that as it may, here is my simple and direct take on it.
I do see the wisdom in the words of Osho when he said: “You cannot live with expectations because life has no obligation to fulfill your desires. You can live with an open heart, but you cannot live with expectations.” But as much as I want to remain level-headed and conform to reason that what these couple show to the world is just that- a show, I still can’t quite shake off that lingering thought in the back of my mind that there is a deeper meaning to their constant display of affectionate gestures than just trying to please the crowd. They may be the best in their art but they are still human and are never immune to the emotional draw of affection, on- or off-cam. Besides, didn’t Fyodor Dostoevsky once said: “At first, art imitates life. Then life will imitate art. Then life will find its very existence from the arts.”?
He is a charming guy, quite the catch. And she is definitely a keeper. These two are meant to live their lives together, maybe not now nor in the near future, but eventually.
I am confident that before too long, if not already, they will realize that they really do complement one another, they balance each other out- literally two halves that found the other to complete a whole.
I am confident that before too long, if not already, they will realize that in each other’s hearts is where they rightfully belong.
And if the whole darn world thinks otherwise, I dare say with honest faith:
The whole darn world is wrong.
But enough of that, for now.
Because today marks yet another significant milestone in the ALDUB phenomenon- the official release of My Bebe Love, the first film introducing the love tandem that has swept the whole world by storm in the second half of the year 2015. The film is expected to draw quite a line, the magnitude of which we will be able to realize in the following days. I will be waiting for its release in my part of the world and watch it, mainly to support the couple more than anything else.
I am admittedly a movie enthusiast but am no critic. I watch films largely for entertainment. I might write a few words of accolade or criticism, but never a full-on review. Not my thing. I am more particular to comedies, thought-provoking thrillers and drama- especially courtroom dramas (my legal education is to blame for that). I don’t know why but I almost always fall asleep in the middle of action movies, unless they are action thrillers. And you won’t ever get me to watch a horror flick- they just freak me out, and leave me psychotically disturbed for days, ha!
Romantic feel-good comedies I can endure for watching at home and not in theaters, particularly during late afternoons in the winter, on the couch, under a fleece cover. In fact, I cannot remember even one instance that I watched a romantic comedy in a public cinema, so practically, this will be the first time for me if ever they do screen it in and around North-Central Florida after Christmas day.
Whether or not I will enjoy the film is a triviality. But I am truly excited, I’m not sure why. I did remit holiday gifts to friends and family back home along with an amusingly stern instruction to use a significant part of it to watch the movie. It’s the least I could do, really, given my circumstances. I just really want this movie to do well.
And of course, this is also the reason why I am writing this entry, to remind everybody that again we are given the chance to show the world the vigor with which this fandom is known to remarkably possess.
Let us not fail Alden and Maine.
Let us not fail ourselves!
Let’s go out there and make history once again!
Merry Christmas, ALDUB Nation!

It is unfortunate that US ticket sales won’t help towards the MMFF gross since MBL is going to be shown here after the MMFF time span. BATB is being shown here in California since Christmas day and I am sure they already credited their ticket sales towards their run for the top box office film.

Alden had an interview with M Enriquez and was asked re status of his relationship with Meng, he replied “very good friends” lang daw. Am I missing something here? When they were in Davao, both said “they’re on the road to FOREVER”. During the Bebe Love screening Alden introduced Maine as his “better half” and called her love at one point. What’s the score between these two? I am a big fan and I, along with many fans are emotionally invested in their relationship but blimey “ambiguous” statements like these surely get me hot under the collar and fan my disappointment. Medyo SHOWBIZ ang dating. I know Meng doesn’t filter her comments and there is still raw honesty in the way she approaches interviews and her social media comments but my fear is baka in the long run “maging showbiz na rin ang mga sagot”. I admire Maine so much and I want her to be celebrated for her creative skills — she’s so talented and as a Mum of two young adults (daughters) I feel very protective towards her. Sorry Vilo for venting but I know you’ll understand. BTW love all your posts. Cheers, your fan from OZ.

Yet another awesome blog from THE Sir Vilo! All I can say is that Maine and Alden must be feeling so blessed to have a fandom who not only love them dearly but are also undoubtedly brainy! This is what I’m so proud of too. I was never a fan of any local artist and I never thought I will ever be until Aldub came. The good thing here is I feel proud to be one of the Aldubnation! Who wouldn’t?!
A blessed Christmas Sir Vilo! We’re not in the Philippines but I’m sure we’re all excited to hear that My Bebe Love made another history! 🙏

Sweet … hope a DVD will be released soon so we who are afar from the Phils be able to watch and enjoy the movie. Nevertheless, Maine and Alden truly complement each other, a connection that we a mere audience at the start felt, and later on drawn us to follow their journey while having this kilig impact they radiate. I cant describe nor explain what these two have but i am so sure that its a God given aura they possess.

First of all, Merry Christmas, Vilo! I miss reading this blog. I remember the last time I read it was when we were still hoping they would somehow touch or hold hands as they were still not allowed to touch, and a mere bump into each other would send us all into frenzy.
Now it seems they are inseparable. They mirror each other’s expressions and mannerisms. And every opportunity to touch or hug, they would grab it with both hands (and the occasional right leg, eh, Maine?). Those gestures, big or small, would cause hysterics among us.
Now that their first movie together is out, I am frustrated that there is still no schedule of screening in my part of the world. I cannot help but turn green with envy that I won’t be able to watch it this week or the week after. I never used to care about missing a movie, a Filipino one at that, as there will be DVD or Netflix esp. for a Hollywood flick. Now, I cannot even fathom surfing the net for an unclear illegally downloaded version of MBL as that would be a grave offense to A & M and the entire movie industry. I never used to care that there are movies available that way. Now I do, I really do. So I will just wait, no matter how long it takes. Although, I do hope it will still be within the period where it will count in the box office 😉 Undeniably, I will be tempted to read reviews and comments about the movie and all I can do is bite my pillow.

Another wonderfully written piece sir… The last time i watched a pinoy film in a movie house was Enteng Kabisote 3 i make it a point to watch a vic sotto movie once a year but these past few years his movies kinda went south on my taste.. Especially his last two entries.. I dont know.. I hated it so much when im watching it on a pirated cd that i bought that i thrown out the cd after im done w/ it.. Now after so many years im going to watch a pinoy film on cinema. Maybe not on the opening day because of the huge crowd, im sure it. But im going in expecting nothing.. Some of my friend who watched the movie on its premiere night said the movie was okay.. Not great, but good.. They enjoyed it.. Not just because they are fans of aldub, they are fan of movies they know their stuff.. Anyway lets all hope the movie will do well in the blockbuster.. SW for the US and MBL for the PH both topping the chart will be a great christmas gift for me.. Merry Christmas Sir Vilo

i, too, was never a movie goer.. especially around MMFF showing.. although i sometimes i get compelled to watch a movie or two when my friends drag me to the movie theater.. i was just not that person to watch Rom-Com movies, as well.. but with this two wonderful persons, i went out of my shell and splurge a little with a Christmas movie date with my parents.. just for the sheer joy of seeing my mother’s excited reaction..
i feel though, that Alden and Maine have something really special between them.. that kind of special when a boy really likes a girl in the highest form of admiration.. Alden seems to be so smitten with her, with every little gestures, he is falling even more deeper..
more so with her, who got the whole world in her hands.. everything she does, the world follows suit.. and she shines so bright that we bask in her warm glow..she is a rare gem, a rarety in a time where everything is just in chaos over trivial thing.. here is one girl who comes in with a certain calmness that swept us off our feet. and Alden was just so lucky to have her..as a friend, as a partner, as someone whose soul is slowly syncing to his own soul.. they are just too perfect for each other, it hurts to even think they would ever part, that everything will be just for the show..
i keep on hoping, keep on believing that love is indeed with these two beautiful souls.. and i’m glad that i’m not really alone with that wishful thinking..
God bless you sir, and your blog..
Merry Christmas as well!!

Merry, merry Christmas to you, Vilo! It’s been said by my fellow readers that it is another well written piece so kudos to you! I have been on a MAIDEN high since the MMFF parade. There’s just too many kilig snaps posted online which made me all the more excited to watch the movie on its first day of screening! Now, I am never a person who’d go out on Christmas Day and join this chaos called MMFF. But, for the love of M & R I booked tickets online a day in advance to ensure we wouldn’t wait in line for hours just to find out when it’s our turn that tix have sold out. I am so happy that in my own little way, I was able to show my love and support for these two kids.
The movie is indeed a feel-good one. Maine’s beauty stood out and her acting actually surpassed those from more experienced-same age actresses. NO EXAGGERATION…her chemistry with R is so strong and there’s no denying their attraction towards each other. I wonder how they both felt during the PN. Super kilig talaga! I am one with those who won’t post spoilers because I want everyone to experience that raw and organic kilig these two bring outside KS boundaries.
This movie also proved that the two can star in their own movie coz they COMPLEMENT each other. Our New Year starts January 2, AD/MD nation. So looking forward to it!

Merry Christmas, kahit late na. I have a question though. Does anyone else now feel that the bar for romantic tropes (movies, novels, what-have-you) has now been set at a new watermark, the ne plus ultra of romance, if you will, by the ongoing A & M saga? For me, personally, i have to compare every love story i come across to theirs now. And everything else pales in comparison. I mean, judging by the extent to which i am affected. i’m starting to think being a MAIDEN fan, as opposed to ALDUB, is now psychologically unhealthy. Even with the movie, of which I am extremely proud of, dont get me wrong, being a fan obviously, but it doesn’t quite match up to how i feel about whats going on between the two thespians featured in the movie.
Case in point:
“I came back for a certain someone, but I dont know who”. Someday you’ll find me.
To half-quote @DONsuratos: I hate how my mind works sometimes.
Shit is driving me nuts. Maybe this is the power of ALDUB. It forces you to care. Even when you dont necessarily have to. This is getting dangerously close to idolatry. I’m f*cked.

“I came back for a certain someone, but I don’t know who.”- M tweeted this at the same night of EB’s christmas party (not the KS episode) where A wasn’t able to go. The KS episode the next day, A was telling M something like “Sorry na” even if it didn’t have anything with the KS story/plot. He was probably “sorry” because he wasn’t able to go the party the night before, which resulted in M’s tweet. But M did reply, “Okay lang, alam ko namang busy ka.” probably her way of acknowledging and understanding A.
“Someday you’ll find me”- Nagpaparamdam lang kay A sa IG, nothing to overthink here. They just miss eachother *kain hopia*. And If you look closely in that IG pic, you would see M pouting her mouth as if she was kissing someone + M’s head facing up as if she was kissing someone taller than her *winkwink* + M is doing the the cliché lift-up-your-leg-while-kissing someone.

I missed your A&M/KS related POVs, and I have nothing to say again, I just totally agree with you. I don’t believe the rumors na “sila na”. They are just sincere on KS and they don’t have to pretend. Maniniwala lang ako pag sila na mismo nagsabi. And besides, they are still young, i don’t want them to rush. I want them to enjoy the friendship they have now.
Done watching MBL earlier today. It was our first time na pumila ng 3 hours just for a movie, but no one was complaining. It was worth the wait, time, money and effort (plus walang tulog). It really is a feel good movie. And one more thing, hindi halatang newbie si Maine. The movie made her beauty stand out. Not being bias, pero mas magaling pa sya sa iba na ang tagal ng artista. Showbiz is really is her destiny. Lakas ng chemistry nila ni Faulkerson! Can’t wait for their own movie. And when that happens, pipila pa rin kami, all for the love of them.

Happy holidays sir vilo! Been reading and loving your blogs and needless to say i constantly check on your posts, anticipating your POVs, which most of the time mirrors mine.
A part of me always remind meself AlDub is just playing their parts, especially Alden! But Oh Good Lord another part of me says their eyes and body language tells us a different story!
Every human being who experience love knows how it feels! Each one of us who have loved and felt loved knows exactly how it is and what it is that gives that involuntary spark in our eyes the moment it lays hold on that certain person! I can see it clearly in them!
On the earlier parts of KS, we clearly see a giggling young lady so enticed and attracted, in its truest and purest form, with this bedimpled charmer who just plays his side of the story because it’s part of his job! Then as the story advances and deepens, tables turned, surprisingly!
I don’t know if you agree with me, but it became more obvious upon this charmer’s return from the Land of the Rising Sun afterwhich, he slowly went replying to each and every chance they get to tease him: from pabebe wave (kaway kaway lang) to giggling turns (talikod pa more!) to “well see” to “we’re getting to know each other” to “we’re close friends” and the latest… this intro:”MY BETTER HALF”. This young man is known not to answer or comment in a showbiz kinda way! He always see to it the he answers truthfully but carefully. If he is still playing his part then he surely deserves his recently received “Best Actor” trophy!
On the other hand, i can see and feel M suddenly held up, went on guard whilst slowly trying to develop friendship between her and her charmer. The table suddenly turned, 180°. Seems this bubbly young lady’s introvert, pessimistic bella character overpowered the former feelings she had back to July 16th.
I hope their Christmas vacation do them good, in realizing how they truly feel for each other, like how i felt, from my POV, the bedimpled charmer realized his feelings when he went on the job at JapanPaMore!
We can only hope for the best for both of them as we firmly believe that that best is: him for her and vice versa. Yet i repeat, we could only hope!
They still have to decide for themselves quoting them: “we are not closing our doors, we are still young, we are both single”, “no pressure”, “that possibility is… possible”.
I decided to enjoy them as they are as of the moment, though i truly include them in my prayers that they do, eventually and really, end up with each other.
Thank you dear sir vilo for allowing me to post my take on AlDub, let us all be one in prayers for their well-being!

I feel himself still held up as much as he could but naturally thru his actions(body language), it show something that we made kilig and we knew M got kilig too. To Vilo, as always great point and made myself nodding several times for that. Kudos Vilo. Few people here know that we have to wait until A finally say something of what we’re waiting for.

I wouldn’t want this year to end without expressing my gratitude to Mr. Velo for providing a venue for delusional over-thinkers like me to express my views on what I think is the most positive pair in Philippine television today. Thanks to RFJ and NDCM for the grace of rising above all the fray and the negativity. For demonstrating that success is not measured by comparing yourself to others but by achieving the goals you’ve set for yourself.
Thank you RFJ for being such a gentleman and protective of NDCM. I watched your couple interview with Jessica Soho where you mentioned that you’ve been checking her dubsmashes even before she joined Eat Bulaga. And how happy you were when you found out that she’s in the KS. In a very discreet way, you wanted people to know that it was you who did the chasing first. Thank you for being a pillar of strength and constancy in an industry that is full of ephemeral loyalty.
Thank you NDCM for bringing out the Child in RFJ. Thank you for wiping away the tears that for so long he has shed alone. He’s still a little tight but he’s coming along.
Thanks to all the people who have posted what I think are very intelligent and well thought of comments in this blog. I enjoyed reading them even those that do not necessarily agree with what I choose to think. It’s always better to see contrary comments so as to keep your delusions in check. Special thanks to @NomadMom for the chewibols. They calmed me down but I still remember what that director did. Isa pa napagsabihan na ako ng mga bata kaya tatahimik na ako.
My prayer for the coming year is more privacy and less restrictions for this couple. I read the Jenny Ferre article and I hope that she was misquoted. I know that some contracts have stipulations but what was said in that article describe a very cruel condition. But love is Truth and it will always find a way to manifest itself.
My prayer for all of us is that we stay in the positive side always and not be deterred by all the negativity- to choose not to read, react and retaliate. Positivity and negativity use the same amount of energy except one of them destroy and the other build up. Let’s choose wisely.
Again thanks to all of you for being part of my (virtual world). You guys have enriched me.
Happy holidays!

A Happy New Year to you and all the readers and commenters of this blog. I am a newly minted fan of Aldub this month because the holiday season is a lull period in my home business (I live in Canada) thus treated myself with precious hours of watching KS and to know what the noise is all about. Needless to say I was hooked and there were days when I ate, slept/dreamt and drank Aldub despite the comments of my 2 teenagers and husband that they never saw me obsessed with something unexplainable. Anyway the main reason for writing here is to vent my impression of a post in the ADN facebook page wherein RFJ had dinner with a Laguna mayor’s family. It left a bad taste in the mouth, though as innocent at it may have been, because I am very leery of local politicians who are good in taking advantage of any form of good publicity. RFJ have mentioned before that he is apolitical but it seems he had missed this time. As a 53 y.o. mother I feel like an aunt who is concerned about him being taken advantaged of and that he needs to be more discerning of the people close (or are trying to be) to him. There were comments that the politician helped him during his early artista days but if they were really sincere in having done so, why was the affair made public? Are they that prominent that knowing how busy RFJ is, he was able to grant the family his valuable time? I wanted to comment on the FB page’s posting but only went as far as writing a private message to the page’s admin. with the hope (and perhaps the delusional thought) of being able to get my message to RFJ but I guess having a very sensible venue like this to vent is enough. I was so leery of offending a lot of hardcore fans especially those who think RFJ can do no wrong but they have to be reminded that he is human and can make mistakes. More than ever he should pray for wisdom to know who his true friends are, to realize he can’t please everybody and to remember that health is more important than money.
As of yesterday I think I have had my fill of Aldub and can go back to reality, have my breakfast as opposed to going to the internet first to check the latest Aldub posting before anything else. Perhaps this is my wake up call to the reality that the most popular LT in the Phils. should not consume my life but be considered as a form of entertainment and escape from the mundane. I wish the couple the best individually and will follow them with less stalking. (May those unorchestrated photos of them looking at each other with the widest of all smiles keep on coming…both so genuinely happy…and contagious) But most of all I look forward to intelligent postings, funny comments and over-analyses on this blog. You must have noticed that I have nothing to say about Maine because most praises given to her are deserving and I can only echo them with nothing to add. In fairness to RFJ, I praise him to being less showbiz pa-pogi, naturally at ease and confident enough to feel that contorting his face makes him more lovable to his fans.
I hope that A&M continue to modify the entertainment landscape in the Phils., but this time in making more sensible movies that would make Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal rise from their graves and give them a smile…if only they are still alive now… sayang. I already have a plot in mind for them but it is a drama, less crying for A but more for M (I bet she can do it even if she is a natural comedienne) and I think the story is unique.
O sige na, I feel better already. Thanks Vilo, I also feel like I have gained a few virtual friends through your blog.

do you wanna know why?
ALDUBNATION, ARE YOU READY TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ALDEN & MAINE?
I’ve been wanting to write about this for a long time. You see, I’ve known about this since last year.
Just like you, I had been an addicted ALDUB fan. I’ve been keeping myself updated about them from the time I wake up until
I sleep. I’ve known issues, and kilig anectdotes, been following blind items, tootserye, emojiserye and what-have-yous, been an aldub warrior,
defending them against bashers and those I see as potential threats to the tandem…until I learned the truth about them.
Just like many of you, this is the first time I did some fangirling to any local artists, and created twitter account just to support them.
Even if you bash me, bashing me won’t make the truth I learned any less real. I just want to share with you my journey as I went
through the stages of unbelief to what I learned, anger for the betrayal that I felt..then finally, acceptance.
As a fan, it was a hard lesson for me that there are limits to what we are only allowed for. We are just here to support, not to dictate what they should do
since they are the ones who are accountable for their own happiness.
I also read a lot of mind boggling questions as to why at this point, this long…though we saw how close Alden and Maine have become and yet…
the level of intimacy is just that…. friendship. It is true that any strong relationship should be founded on friendship…but for this long, just friendship?
Maine can’t even kiss Alden on his cheeks on HIS BIRTHDAY??? Come on, it is just a friendly kiss…besides loveteam naman sila.
For me, it makes sense. You know why? Hold on to your seats, as this may blow you away…
Alden and Maine will only be REEL. Alden has a non-showbiz girlfriend and is from an “aristocratic and illustrious family in the Philippines “.
The girl’s family is from a very affluent and well known AYALA- YULO clan. Maine has her own man as well, the guy also came from a wealthy family…saka
seloso daw yung guy.
Much as I want with all my heart that they end up together… I do not think that’s possible today.
Especially with this new development in Alden’s relationship. Alden is going to be a father soon. Yes, Alden’s girlfriend is 2 months pregnant right now.
I think she is due September this year. I don’t care if you bash me, but this truth and reality is something they can never hide for so long.
Even if they did try, at one point in Alden’s life he will have to introduce this child to the public and you will remember that somewhere, someone wrote
about this truth.
We all know that Alden is a family oriented man. And much as he wants, he can never make them public. Career reasons obviously. This is not the first time
an actor hid something like this to protect the girl and his career.
Try asking him who Hannah is… or who is “QUEEN” ( the queen of his new house). If he denies her, let’s just hope she won’t see the interview…
mahirap para sa buntis ang mga ganyan..sensitive ang mga buntis. Though she has been patient for so long regarding their setup. Matagal ng naaawa
si Alden kay Hannah dahil alam nya kahit papano nagseselos yun kahit sabihin mong “aktingan” lang. Ito yung “mga” sacrifices ni Alden para sa loveteam
nila ni Maine. Mahal na mahal ni Alden ang gf nya… tama sila, swerte talaga kapag naging sayo si Tisoy dahil sobrang maalaga daw ito sa babae..sobrang
spoiled…
By the way, Hannah is friends with Maine, minsan pa nga isinusumbong ni Maine si Alden kay Hannah tungkol kay Julie Anne.
So huwag na kayong magtaka bakit ingat ang dalawa sa mga any display of affection during kalyeserye..or any appearance na magkasama sila.
Has anyone tried to interview Alden in his new house in Nuvali…much more surprise him there? I don’t think he will allow it, because that’s where Hannah
stays with him, a his “Queen”. Yes, the girl is staying with Alden. The last time I heard, kinuha muna sya ng mommy nya at inuwi dahil sobra ang pagsusuka,
since nasa Qatar naman si Alden…
I just want the other aldub fans to realign their expectation to this tandem… because they will never be real. They do love each other, but only as
friends…tropa, barkada…ganun lang. Though nabawasan na yung addiction ko sa kanila… I am stil a fan and would still keep on supporting them.
At least, I am operating on the reality that I am supporting them as REEL couple… but after the lights been out of the camera, it is their call… I cannot
dictate who they love because it is their right… it is just unfortunate that when they met… both were spoken for.
Kaya nga paulit ulit nilang sinasabi diba… Ikaw at Ako…ako at ikaw..tayong dalawa lang walang iwanan patungo sa ating pangarap. Tayo bilang
magkaibigan….
this is all about their dream… them reaching those dreams together. Yun lang…just about their dreams sa showbiz.
hindi ba kayo nagtataka bakit hindi na sila masyadong tinutukso ni joey at vic..? kasi alam nila ang totoo…
Marami namang fans ang malawak ang pang unawa. bakit ang JADINE..sikat din naman pero alam ng fans nila reel lang yun.
So now Alden and Maine, I dare you to be honest with the entire ALDUBNATION. You are looked up to as honest people…No lies, no pretensions…
kahit sinasabi sa inyo ng management na kahit ano mangyari walang aamin… pano kapag lumabas na totoo… “sorry” lang?
Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng fandom na ganito katindi ang loyalty at support sa generation ko… I think you owe them the truth.
everytime we clamor for more intimacy between the two..may mga nasasaktan…kasi in real life.. may kanya kanya na silang mahal.
P.S.
Just to answer some questions na nakikita ko.. yung younger sister na nkikita nyo sa family pic nila Alden,
half sister nila yun. Anak ng mom nila sa ibang tatay… nakakagulat? Tatlo lang talaga sila na anak ni daddy bae..
yung mas bata anak ng mom nila sa iba… wag na natin pag usapan pano ngyari yun, im sure may dahilan si tisoy
bakit hindi nya isinama yang kwento na yan sa buhay nya sa “Magpakailanman”

Sorry, but I cannot let your comment get past me w/o saying my piece.
Demolition tactics against Maine and Alden/RJ??? Let me count the ways…
1) Hacking of Maine’s FB, Twitter, and email accounts by scrupulous individuals hoping to find damning facts to bring her down. Interestingly, it happened about the same time as the hacking incident perpetrated by Anonymous Philippines for a different motive.
2) Defamation & character assassination of Maine’s person by writers (not journalists) on tabloids & other periodicals.
3) Fake & parody social media accounts by individuals who stir the hornet’s nest w/in ADN & bash Maine or Alden everyday
4) Non-disclosure of MBL earnings at the recently-concluded MMFF to discredit A&M’s impact on MBL box office returns.
Since the above-mentioned gimmicks did NOT hold traction even at their lowest points & the worst of times, the spin doctors are now manufacturing demolition stories in the hope that ADN & the viewing public are grossly misled & thereby kiss Alden & Maine goodbye.
Fortunately for Alden & Maine, ADN has their back, and A&M are both grounded & strong individuals who have weathered & will continue to weather these attacks.
Unfortunately for you @elle and your ilk, the long-time readers/commenters (veterans, if you will) on Vilo’s blog are smart enough to discern fact from fiction. Go, tell it to the mountains!!!

Dear (tongue in cheek) Elle,
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this crap you unloaded. But then again, we just might be overreacting.
So, to give you the benefit of the doubt, here is a clarificatory question. Is this supposed to be a fable wherein animals are the protagonists? Is the Hannah that you mentioned here a heifer (female cow)?…a mare (female horse)?…a dam (female llama)?…or a female sea lion? I ask because these are the animals whose gestation is anywhere from 10 to 12 months.
By the way, the words in parentheses are the short defintions. These short definitions are for your benefit. I was afraid that anything longer would set you off into another STORY-TELLING-A-LIE expedition.
Now, if this is indeed a fable, what is the moral of the story?
i sincerely (not!) wait with bated (really too old for this) breath for your INTELLIGENT (may lightning strike you instead) and HONEST (lightning multiplied by x to the nth power) reply.

P.S. No, dear. It’s not “sea lioness”.

Just disappointed if it’s the truth, that Alden cannot be honest enough to say that he’s committed to someone as well as Maine then we the aldub nation will just have to take it and be happy with their on screen love team. But really disappointed if it’s true because I have high regards for Alden and that last comment on Sunday pinasaya na ” ano ba ang nakikita nyo”would really kill my admiration for him as a good honest individual. If that is true I’ll settle for just a Maine fanatic.

Just because you see the name attached to Nuvali does not make it true. If you have the time then read through the search results and I can guarantee they all point to social media feeds or a re-hash of was tweeted or comments on IG/FB feeds/timelines. You will not find any concrete evidence that would prove what this Elle person is saying has any truth in it.

I get that Maine is an introvert but remember not all viewers of Eat Bulaga know her that well. I’m talking about not so young people who don’t go to social medias to learn about her and the very young ones who look up to her and try to emulate her. These are the viewers who see her as what she presents herself to them. For the not so young, it’s kind of rude not to (seemingly) pay attention to the person who’s talking to you. It’s basic manners actually. So some people can’t help but call her attention on that, not because they hate her or just want to bash her, these are the people who care enough and maybe love her enough to try to make her aware of the impact of what she just did. Sadly, some of her fans are quick to call them haters/bashers/fake fans etc., which in the end only succeeded to alienate them from the fandom. I think one of the reasons why there are not as much tweets as before is because of the hard core fans who turn off some ADN’s members. This is just me, my opinion, ignore me if you don’t agree.
But i love the effort Maine did for Alden’s birthday. I really really think these two are in love. I am also one of those who’s disappointed with the “restrictions”, how can they control people’s feelings like that? I am pleased to learn that although Alden didn’t follow Maine in Japan he was watching her thru her videos (snapchats?). And maybe Maine knows Alden will be watching those. AHA!!! who knows? uGH!, i’m imagining things again. Really, everybody loves people who are in love, and it’s no brainer to see that these two are so much in love.

i dont know why pero agree ako sa mga nagsabing may iba kay Maine. i mean parang may dinadamdam. i know na introvert si Maine (hwag nang paulit ulit) kasi ganun din ako. im an introvert as well. she was trying to hide her feelings. kaya lg sana kahit ng sabihin ni Alden na “aldub you forever” sa huli, kahit simpleng “thank you ” nalang at smile man lang sana kasi yung dating parang hindi sya nagpay attention sa sinasabi ni Tisoy. kaya maraming naoffend sa kanya. yet, Maine is a newbie. hindi pa sya ganun kaknowlegeable sa ethics in showbiz. i mean, i hope lang she will start learning and sana i guide din sya kasi masarap at mahirap maging celebrity. madming critics, sa ngayon madaming umiintindi at nagmamahal sa kanya pero in the future she must learn how to deal with things in showbiz, and yes magpashowbiz if needed or mag adjust din (although ang pagiging transparent nya ang minahal sa kanya) kasi hindi habang buhay she can justify her actions or mood swings at intindihin sya simply because “introvert” sya. kung ibang artista na hindi kasing sikat nya yun, im sure grabe na ang natanggap nyang bashing. buti na nga lang at nanjan ang AldubNation na susuporta kahit anung mangyari. i used to be like her na if gusto ko mapag isa, nahihiya ako ipapakita ko sa lahat and i learned how to control it more. kasi a lot of people will misjudge you for that. especially nasa showbiz sya at daming inggit na nagbabantay na tumiklop sya. that’s the beauty as well as the disadvantages of live TV kasi everything’s organic and uncesored. i agree that sobrang refreshing sya kaysa sa normal teleserye, but it also tends to allow people to see u in a different light and judge u so easily because of a very subtle gesture. i am not condoning bashing Maine but instead, encouraging her to overcome her weakness and to be strong kasi in this industry, its not enough that youre different, or pretty and talented but u have to be strong and innovative. Maine chose to be in Showbiz so its not enough na sabihing “intindihin nalang natin sya kasi introvert sya” but help her to be the best she can be. “do not underestimate the power of Aldub Nation”, yan parati ang sinasabi but lets not be complacent kasi sometimes being phenomenal now doesnt mean you will still be 10 years from now. compare it to being a clown, a flight attendant ang pag aartista since yun yung job na naisip ko that requires one to please or entertain people like showbiz. if yun ang job mo and you show up moody or a little “rude”, people complain about your behavior, do u tell your employer na “please understand, im an introvert kasi.” Maine is smart, beautiful and talented. with a little push and guidance she can be a better performer. i believe you can rock this Meng! push lang ng push.

But she did, after, at the backstage. She cried. She’s smart and for sure even if she was not looking at alden, she heard what alden was saying. For sure she’s not that “manhid” i am sorry if i offended anyone of u here. We all both love these 2 guys. I was also irritated at that time when alden always said “joke lang po” well even if it’s just a joke or just “aktingan” nakaka offend din sa part ni maine. But, since we really don’t know the real score if this guy’s really just acting or really in love, or they’re just really good friends, then it is not our “hold” anymore. Pero sayang talaga, if they won’t end up together. And if they’re now in a relationship, wow, believe ako ang hirap mag tago ng damdamin. Unlike them, in a relationship, i am so transparent.

But now, that news of ABS’ wrong dealings have come forth, people have switched loyalties. It is true that GMA is as not well connected “yet”, but that will change soon. The network doesn’t have a choice. The audiences/fans are demanding quality programs, better talents, better workshops, etc. Hence, better business relations is needed for GMA to make this all possible and I am sure that is being worked on as we speak.
Just like they have never seen a love team like Aldub… they have never seen a fandom like the Aldub Nation. It is a fandom that is comprised of some of intelligent people who are smart enough to decide what is right and what is decent. And we(I am counting myself as part of this fandom) have chosen Aldub, EB and GMA. And I believe that Philippine Showbiz is about to get turned on its ear.

In light of the recent interest & disinterest about the direction KS is headed, allow me to quote business author & professor Michael LeBoeuf: “A SATISFIED CUSTOMER IS THE BEST BUSINESS STRATEGY OF ALL.”
GMA must take serious notice. The fans are a network’s customers. As such, it behooves GMA to take care of its customers. Why exactly are companies signing up Alden & Maine as endorsers? Because getting A & M means nabbing the buying power of AlDUb Nation. AlDub Nation is a captured market. When AlDUb is red-hot, GMA’s revenues sky-rocket!
Fans have expressed their sentiments about KS. Listening to the fans does not mean the network must follow all their whims & caprices. Listening means getting a pulse of what the fans want and develop programming with entertainment value that the fans will consume. Because when fans like what they see, they are loyal to a fault. When they don’t, they make noise, or worse, walk away.
And when the fans are loyal, they give you 41 million tweets, sell out 55,000 seats in the world’s largest indoor arena, turn McDonald’s revenues to a whopping 470% (& other companies A&M endorse as well), draw humungous crowds to mall shows, put Alden’s albums on the iTunes & Billboard charts, and give you 20% (or better) TV ratings daily.
AlDub is a golden opportunity for GMA. A once-in-a-lifetime event. An anomaly. An exception to the rule. They cannot afford to let it slip away. We may not see this happen again in this lifetime. Let’s see how GMA will handle this in the long run.
Good vibes! GOD bless all. 🙂

GMA must do their very best or else …. the rival station will again top the ratings and entice the advertisers.

From what I’ve been reading from twitter and here…i think we are entering the “Nasasaktan” Phase…why so? done with getting to know, kilig moments was nov – dec. (MBL days)
Why Nasasaktan Phase?
(1) issues are coming out – whether the preggy issue, gay issue, A being terminated at EB, restrictions and everything. We don’t know what’s really happening. Bashers/haters are like mushrooms, ang dami lately. Personal or not. With their popularity dadami pa yan. Truth or not. We give them the benefit of the doubt.
(2) Misunderstandings – people misunderstands the why M acts towards A during his b-day celebration. I would have guess na nahihiya sya na maging center of attention during the bday celebration. Remember the EK ep? Were Allan K mentioned “Mag-Jowa”, Ruby R. corrected him na MU pa lang.. well, Ruby is A’s nanay-nanayan. However, even mag-MU’s pag naghiwalay sandali at nagkita ulit medyo may konting ilangan ulit. With A’s interview (Mike E.), it just say that indeed they are friends now, we just don’t know the level — MU?
(3) Storyline of KS, well we just have to trust them for directions….
(4) A’s absence for several days already – A’s dedication to his craft/commitment. If the Feb concert for AlDub gonna push through – A has to finnish his other commitments, grabe dami ah! From what I’ve seen sa twitter account ng close pal nya, his January schedule is loaded. And I guess, madaming days that we will not be seeing A.
(5) cryptic tweet from M last night “cloud of confusion”. May confuse in the sense na “ay ganito pala pag-artista konting kembot lang may basher na”, or confuse in the sense ” that she don’t know kung san na sya lulugar even when A just indirectly admit last sunday that indeed something is going-on between them (kahit pinapalusot na sya ni Jerald na huwag sagutin, still he answered-indirectly nga lang)”…many things brought confusion to M right now…frustrating right?
(6) growing-up separately — they needed that. They have their own set of commitments to deliver. I guess they need to be independent too. . Even us with spouses, we wanted to have our own identity, right. Sabi nga nakasanayan na kse na nakikita magkasama. But come to think of it in the end of the day, they are still a tandem (reel), sila pa rin ang Aldub. If they chose to be REAL, everybody HAPPY!
You see, this phase will end and will be entering the “Katotohan Phase”… I’m just going to think of the Starbucks moment. 🙂
I’m wondering how God just intertwined their lives. 5 years ago they met and forgot about it (Sabi ni God di pa sila handa). And then meet again. Even if both of are not into showbiz, I believe their paths will still cross. Why? A always wanted to be a pilot, then M plans to be a flight stewardess. It’s up for them/its a matter of choice…of being together or not… let’s just wait and see… they are still young anyway.
Always remember, AlDub will not be AlDub if one them will be gone. Sabi nga nila, “Ikaw at Ako”, magkakampi tayo. And I hope they can also feel it too sa atin as ADN, kakampi nila tayo. Whatever happens, I hope we will continue to support they endeavors together or separate.
PS. I’m still wondering what A’s gift to M this Christmas? we know M’s gift, how about A? Secretive ano?
