If you really want to know RFJ and NDCM’s status as a couple, then hacking their social media account is not the way to do it. Go and read those “eyes only” letters that they exchange every so often.
If KS/EB’ ‘storyline’ gets to tedious or nonsensical, then either stop watching or just accept the fact that they’re writing this script by the seat of their pants. Baka nga sa hopia paper lang. You can also rant in tweeter using their hashtag. Finally and most important, you can look into yourself and ask what made you a fan, so emotionally invested and still staying.
I used to be dismissive of EB mainly because of JDL’s history. When I first watched the show, they looked like bloated corpses held up by Botox. But what I thought was and still is the redeeming portion of the show is the Juan for All segment. That segment represent hope to a lot of marginalized members of the society. The fact that Jose, et al go out to the barangay is a major coup because all the contestant has to do is wait for their name to be called. Walang dagdag na puhunan kundi ang pag-asa. This segment is one of the reason why I still watch.
Bonus na lang sa akin na napasali si NDCM at RFJ and KS was born. It was refreshing to see a young couple develop a split screen/fansign-based relationship. It didn’t hurt that they’re both good looking and fairly attracted to each other. We or (maybe in difference to the more skeptical readers) most of us saw how their relationship developed up to this point. Everything was ok until the Tamang Panahon episode. After that episode, the fandom was rife with speculations on their relationship and grew to an obsession. And that’s one reason why there’s so much anger and bitterness.
I think the obsession about their true relationship stemmed from our society’s need for instant gratification. Like- “Six months na silang magka-kilala dapat mag jowa na sila” expectations and if not met, they were both bashed mercilessly. Pero to be fair to them, paano nila magagawang magligawan? If you look at behind the scene shots and check out their schedule, you will wonder when and how these couple had a chance to really know each other. They are always surrounded by their handlers and cameras hound their every move. Of course, there are claims of clandestine meetings/dates-things that cannot be denied nor confirmed. Pero sa totoo, saludo ako sa kanilang dalawa sa mga ginawa nila.
Isa pa, there’s no denying that NDCM and RFJ are major contributor to GMA’s revenue stream. The longer they stay in the top spot, the better the bottom line. I think the network is of the belief that as long as the audience is “bitin”, they’ll continue watching. Thus all the ‘restrictions’ so that KS story can be stretched for as long as it can.
As an aside,it will be interesting to see how the Jadine LT will fare now that they are in a relationship. I read that it took them two years get into one.
Mahaba na so let me repeat what I said at the top of my comments: Kalma lang. Let’s go back to the reason why we love watching them. If you’re no longer happy, go watch another show. Huwag murahin sila NDCM at RFJ. As for me, I am sure that they are in a very happy place and I am happy for them.
God Bless Y’all
By the way, I’ve ventured in Tweeter land. Didn’t know that I have in me to write something coherent in 140 characters including the stupidly long hashtag. It’s interesting to say the least.
@Uncle Vic Good to “see” you po! Hope all’s well with the ranch and you’ve gotten rid of your wolf (wolves) problem. Just wanted to ask if you have the same user name on tweeter po?
I had coyote issues and wala na sila. Fences are fixed and right now busy sa pag-bilang ng baka. Hobby lang ito pero maraming oras ang kinukuha ngayon, Look for @saudisyn. Took that handle for us na na-Jake. Those episodes were painful to watch. Anyway, pag na-troll ako, kasalanan mo.Ha Ha. Please be careful in social media land. Maraming duwag at bastos.but you know what to do
Coyotes! I couldn’t quite remember which furry beast it was. Glad to know that you’ve gotten rid of them and all seems relatively well with you. Medyo sanay na po ako sa mga trolls. Lipat lang po sa IG and look for happy pics nang mga chickidees when twitter gets too toxic for me. Or basa basa lang nang fan fics from some of my fave ADN/MaiChard writers to chase the blues away. I’ve learned to choose my battles so most of the time hindi ko na pinapatulan, block na agad para less stress sa akin….hahaha!
Salamat po for entrusting your UN with fellow Vilo readers and commenters 😀
Oh, BABALA (asawa ni…), please don’t troll Uncle Vic or he may find me and sic one of ’em coyotes that lurks his ranch.
Looking forward to reading your tweets po! Have a blessed day!!
Coyotes are all gone but what’s funny is we found a Llama today! I’m not in South America so i’m sure somebody lost a pet.i heard they can be trained to guard livestock including cows but I’m not getting anywhere near spitting distance of that critter!
Anyway, pasensya ka na sa tweets ko. I can be verbose kaya ang hirap pagkasyahin sa 140 chars yung gusto kong sabihin. Check out BroadwayJanitor. He’s a hoot!
I wrote a comment sa Instagram of a big Aldub account. I said that why do we have to obsess over the relationship status of both A and M. We have to give them some breathing space to figure out themselves kung ano ang nararamdaman nila for each other. We have to learn to step back and remember na we are only spectators. We can never dictate or command. And we can never jump into conclusions based on BTS, insider scoops, laglagan spiels or even pick up lines on TV as Divina and KS Alden. Only when pareho sila nagsalita as Maine and Alden, then dun ako maniniwala. As long as di pa sila umaamin, MaiChard is not happening. I am extremely happy with AlDub so i dont see the need to hurry things up. Love takes time to grow. We have to enjoy what both kids are willing to share with us now.
This comment of mine garnered too much attention sa Insta. I was bombarded with very foul words (grabeng pagmumura), bullied and branded a negatron and chased out of the account. Luckily, the admin was considerate enough to not block me. Jusko. Ganito na ba nangyari sa Aldubnation? No wonder we are being ridiculed by other fandoms. Respect has gone out the window. My gosh. This blog is the only safe haven i found so far. So far. Im afraid I may be chased out of this very soon. I hope not 🙂
You have to be careful where you venture and be ready with a wide range of reaction to your (what you think as) seemingly sane and objective comment. There are a lot of bullies out there who hide behind the anonymity of social media but I will not generalize everybody in Aldubnation as walang respeto. I consider myself as a member of ADN and I have all respect to what you just wrote. Also, I think this bastos behavior can be found in other group in the social media world as well. That’s why for me, I can always choose to stop participating in the discussion. There are things more important in life than trying to convince a mob or reason with lunatics.
@yellowmellow
I didn’t see anything wrong with your comment. We must face it, we are all obsessed naman talaga kung ano ang real status ni A and M. If not, we would not be as crazy a fandom as we are now, bipolar pa nga. But then again, we must instil some reality into it, too. That is where your comment comes in. We do not want them to be pressurised in getting into something na di naman pala nila gusto. Time and space is of an essence. At the moment, I can’t seem to see them both having these (I can be wrong as I do not know kung anong nangyayari behind the scene). I also go to other Aldub social media accounts, and am shock na they just block people na mag comment na hindi ayon sa panrinig nila. I think constructive criticism is acceptable may it be negative or positive, providing no ones reputation is being slandered to the point na ibinabaon na ng husto. That’s why I prefer visiting ‘Bahay ni Kuya/Sir Vilo’, may differences man ng opinion ang mga ‘housemates’, may respeto pa rin sa isa’t isa. And may it hopefully continue.
With Maine’s bday coming up and Alden promising a huge surprise both on saturday and “after pa ng saturday..” I can only hope that we all give him a break if ever he doesnt deliver. Nakakatakot na baka biglang mag-amok na naman ang marami just because Alden broke a promise he made on camera. And please, jusko..birthday lang yun. She will have many more birthdays afterwards na pede nila i-celebrate together. If this coming saturday, the celebration that KS Alden prepared is not as grand as we all expect it to be. Kalma lang sana tayo. Enjoy the show na lang.
I think even Maine is taking everything Alden says on air with huge drum of rock salt. Sinabi na nga nya before di ba? “Gawin mo. Huwag puro daldal.” Even today, when Alden said some kilig-worthy pick-up lines, Maine simply shrugged it off by contracting herself with her hands and feet curled up. I guess even she told herself not to expect anything beyond his usual. Her guard is up. And wisely so. She’s only 20 turning 21. She has a long exciting journey ahead of her. Enjoy the ride Maine!
I consider everything in Kalyeserye right now as aktingan. Done purely to whet the audience’s appetite and hold their attention. That is why i think the show lost its soul when the business side took over.The real relationship is outside EB, Opinyon ko lang
I guess that’s also the reason why EB separated Kalyeserye from Sugod-Bahay. I suspect this is to allow the audience to see Maine as Maine, separate from her Divina character. If you notice, Maine is also much more reticent and guarded towards Alden when he tries to engage her as Maine in Sugod-Bahay than when KS Alden engages Divina in Kalyeserye.
Meanwhile, Alden and KS Alden are very difficult to differenciate. Alden continues to attempt to reach out to Maine in Sugod-Bahay using the same charming techniques KS Alden uses with Divina, but to futile results. What does it mean when Alden and KS Alden act the same? Does it mean that he’s not acting all throughout OR that he’s in fact acting all throughout? I guess this is the reason why Maine would not even allow her character Divina to get involved with KS Alden. LOL
Kaya nga dapat maging keen observer lang tayo,let us enjoy the ride and storyline,walang extra baggage or too much expectation hayaan lang natin,I hope most of us are matured enough to realize na all they want is pasayahin tayong mga viewers,moderate natin yung real score theme kasi kailangan din naman nila ng privacy,kung i-share nila in public yung real score eh di thank you kung Hindi naman respect nalang natin,also friendly reminder lang, ang ALDUB team yan ,its Maine and Richard package yan ,kung fan kayo ni Maine dapat gustuhin nyo rin si Richard kung si Alden naman likewise ganun din,Hindi kasi maganda ang one sided eh “yung parang ayaw nyo pala Kay Alden eh wag kayo manuod ng ALDUB eh kung ayaw nyo Maine eh wag din kayo manuod ng ALDUB din,unfair din naman manghusga agad di naman pare pareho alam and kilala kung ano sila behind camera eh,kaya support nalang sa kanila.maging positive,good vibes, proactive tayo sa buhay and mag dasal lagi.
Jojo pareho tayo ng nakikita. Basahin nyo interview ng sister ni maine. Siya nga fan ng aldub eh. Yung pagkafan nya ganun din tayo. Aldub inspirations yung site.
I read that too. But hindi yata iyon ung actual interview nya talaga. It was actually huggablemewrites.wordpress. The blogger’s site was shared by both Baeyaw and Ate Dub.
Sa twitter yun nifollow din nila yun. Waiting for part 3. Asa at your own risk nga daw eh. Enjoy na lang with no negative comments on either side. Sa ig ni maine 1 lang ang finollow pa ni maine si alden. Di naman siguro ganun kasama c alden. Karma din abutin nya pag tama mga bintang sa kanya eh. Hwag na lang manood kung di maganda ang impact sa iba. Basta ako i enjoy both ks and sb.
Oh really 🙂 both baeyaw and ate dub followed yung aldubinspiration blog. Ok then, will check it out. Salamat @Malthus. Dun sa IG ni Maine, the hacker actually left only Alden sa following ni Maine. The hacker deleted all except him. Anyway, malayo-layo pa nga ang journey to forever natin. So im keeping my hopes up for a happily ever after. Btw, I just saw a pic of Maine and Alden with a boy who looks exactly like Alden. What caught my attention was not the actual pic but the phone Maine was holding in the picture. It has the same snap of the three of them as wallpaper. Hmmm… kilig feels 🙂
Oh my gosh. Exactly the same thoughts @Nine, @ Jojo, @ Uncle Vic. Finally, reasonable people i can actually discuss with na walang naghahamon ng away. Im so glad i found this quiet little nook. Salamat po.
And yes @Uncle Vic i learned my lesson na the hard way. Trying not to cross paths with jerks and lunatics sa social media. Though we are all members of ADN, we dont share the same perspective on all things AlDub. For example, people are clamoring for MaiChard since last year. With the support of huge Aldub accounts with insider infos daw, #Stronger Maichard has been the battlecry. I tried to watch EB the past week and i cringe every time Alden tries to woo Maine during Sugod Bahay. She is not as kilig and attentive as when she’s Divina in KS. Something is off. Mukhang “acting” na lang talaga. They are trying hard to keep the shiw afloat and entertain us. As a fan, i needed to draw the line e. Looking back, naisip ko na ahhh… oo nga naman, every effort that Alden did – the Valentines day tweet exchanges, ShangriLa coffee date and Tagaytay Road Trip were done during KalyeSerye. He was actually doing it for Divina and not Maine. The saturday birthday episode is for Divina also. So im not expecting too much. Kalma lang, enjoy the show.
Precisely,as of me baligtad naman hahaha! I’m am looking forward sa March 3 itself,kasi this coming Saturday its all business for EB guys yun (ratings and publicity)pero ang Thursday titignan natin both caught off guard yung dalawa,yung reactions and ligawan stuff,Wally bayola and Jose manalo are both barometers and x factors ng dalawa (mukhang may alam ang dalawa sa surprise ni Alden)si Maine being an introvert Hindi sya showy,di sya sanay sa mga surpresa,i can sense na kinakabahan sya sa bulacan concert palang nila ginigisa na nila si maine,opposite to Richard naman na ang hilig mag surpresa,its too early to conclude ang layo pa ng end game,kaya I don’t count them out yet. Just enjoy the show with less expectations sabi nga daw learn how to guard our own hearts hahaha!
Yung mga kilig scenes sa KS is more scripted lang talaga,ginagawa talaga nila trabaho nila and medyo matatagalan pa talaga bago matapos ang serye nila. Pero…yung exchanging poems nila for each other (real yun) ang nag bago and nag basag ng mga perceptions natin lahat,it clearly shows na Richard has the ball in his hands, yung sinasabi ko yung panliligaw ha,ginagamit ko nlang dito yung instinct ko as a male,brace ourselves guys mukhang marami pa tayong aabangan,Hindi ko rin kinukwestyon yung pagiging sincere ng dalawa,kasi alam nilang dalawa ang kalalagyan nila kapag confirm na niloloko nga nila ang public lakas karma yun,basta relax lang,watch lang tayo and enjoy lang.
I like your perspective @Jojo. Tama nga. Bigla akong na-excite sa comment mo na “brace yourselves”. For the first time kase, i saw a video of Alden and Maine walking together after a UniLab gig the other night. Though Alden was walking a few steps behind Maine, i was glad na magkasama sila AFTER an event. I think the only time na mag cross over ako from reel to real is when i see Alden and Maine going on a date outside of EB. Or if they admit na may ligawan at pagpapaalam sa parentals na nangyari. Hanggat wala pa nun, kalmahin ko muna ang MaiChard heart ko.
Yun ang spirit po,ang hirap kasi nila husgahan agad eh,imagine going to eight months na sila dapat time,focus and privacy lang talaga ang kulang sa kanila,layo pa end game di pa naman umaamin eh and no confirmation pa,walang pang final bell/round sa dalawa to think na napaka bata pa nila,Hindi sila perfect pero there’s more room for improvement pa. Ito yung tip ko sayo everytime na manunuod ka ng EB or KS obserbahan mo yung mga sinasabi ni Maine kasi madalas nadudulas sya eh,yun lang ha ,kasi kapag sinabi ko pa sa iyo yung iba eh may bayad na po hehehe!joke lang po,good vibes lang!enjoy lang!
They are first and foremost good friends & whatever feelings they have for each other are in those “eyes only” letters. RFJ and NDCM are in those private letters.
EB/KS is a show and all of them are actors. That’s how I insulate myself from any expectations. Ika nga-check your brain at the door before watching. Reel was forced in by business but Real manifests itself every so often. To avoid confusion, I suggest that assume everything as Reel. This will also stop you from condemning the actors for doing their job because you expected them to behave as the Real person. It’s unfortunate that I have to put it that way but greed killed spontaneity.
Relax and just enjoy the show RFJ and NDCM are still there and they show up every so often. When and how is really up to you. Don’t imagine anything that will make you unhappy and angry. The last thing I want to see is another ranting post in tweeter. Sorry if I sound like an uncle but I really don’t want any of you to be unhappy. You are after all my virtual family. God bless to you all
By the way, maitanong ko lang… bukod sa ubod ng ganda ni Maine.. ano yung reasons mo why you became hooked sa AlDub? Gusto ko lang malaman ung guy’s perspective, if that’s ok sayo. Very seldom lang kase ako nka-encounter ng guy Aldub fan. Do you think that Richard Faulkerson Jr is already falling in love kay Maine? May tama na ba? Or he is still thinking things over? Or purely trabaho lang like what he did with his previous LTs?
“To avoid confusion, I suggest that assume everything as Reel. This will also stop you from condemning the actors for doing their job because you expected them to behave as the Real person.”
God bless din po 🙂 from team abroad din. So glad i found this site. Nasa Round 2 pa nga lang tayo. Naka 4 points na si Tisoy…hihi.. Wait ko na lang kung sino unang ma-knock out. And opo UncleVic, si Maine din ang inaabangan ko for slip-ups. One example is the picture she snapped of her Ate’s pandora “shades” charm gift. It was beside a limited edition Valentine 2016 “Love is forever”charm. Mukhang galing kay Tisoy. But kalmahin ang puso, wait and see na lang ako.
NDCM is a breath of fresh air sa lahat ng cast ng EB. Noticed that they all loosen up after she joined.(Well except for Julia. She’s always been cool) I think she personally salvaged Wally’s career and gave Joey DL a reason to go to work.
At any rate, please bear in mind that all the scriptwriters are women so the story is from a woman’s point of view. I think that’s the reason why KSA’s character is so weak and reactive. Probably also explain why Alden the actor is over compensating.
To answer your question (and I hope hindi mabasa ni mrs kung hindi batok ako), RFJ does a lot of things that surprises NDCM. This keeps her off balanced and makes their relationship interesting. The line “mahirap kang basahin” pertains to that – “I don’t know what to expect because you always surprise me”. His admission that he’s seloso was also a surprise. You may have also seen their BTS where NDCM sits under his shadow while RFJ spreads his shirt to give her more shade. Marami pang very subtle gestures but I cannot list them all down kasi nga as a guy ginagawa ko rin yun out of pure instinct. Tinablan ba si NDCM doon? Maybe but I would like to believe as a man that RFJ did those things not looking for reciprocation but because he cares and she deserves to be treated well.
Mahirap maglista iha kasi ba mamaya, isumbat na naman kay RFJ. Tipong, sabi ni uncle Vic ganoon dapat, bat di niya ginawa? Joke lang lola!
Sige last tip na yan ha,si Wally bayola(may alam yan ng real status sa kanila)Isa yan sa mga close friend ni menggay parang kuya either Lola nidora/kuya Wally persona sya.
Awww.. aldub you po Uncle Vic! Thanks for the reply 🙂 Appreciate it po. Will keep that in mind. I guess the writers being all women made Alden look more reactive than proactive. But now that they are giving him freedom to decide what to do for Maine during impt episodes,makes it all the more interesting. Gotta give it to the guy, he really is romantic. Loved the TaalVista episode 🙂
This week is EB’s lowest ratings since AlDub started. Both Feb 29 and March 1 has 19% ratings. 😦 Though lamang pa rin naman sa ST pero this downfall of ratings means something.
Well, on Feb 29, Alden and Maine had absolutely no interaction during Kalyeserye because they had to give way to Dawin. And then during the Sugod-Bahay, everyone felt the chills when Maine did not immediately respond to Alden, first when he said hi to her, and then second was when he told her, “Maine, ingat sa sugod ha”. Both times, she needed to be prodded by either Paolo or Jose to respond to Alden. And if that was not enough, everyone got stung when Maine wished she would find an enduring partner like the winning couple found in each other. Everyone was like, “Ay, hindi pa nya nahahanap? So hindi si Alden…” By the time EB was finished, everyone on twitter, IG, and FB were talking about a possible LQ.
On March 1, Maine was asked during Sugod Bahay what she wishes for on her birthday, and she responded candidly that she wishes for nothing more because she has been given so much already. No mention about wishing for a lovelife. All that time, Alden’s face was on the split screen that Jowapao had to again step-in and prod Maine about Alden. But she insisted she wishes for nothing more. And then came Maine’s exchange with Wally that went like, “Sigurado kang walang kulang?” to which Maine responded, “Wala na.” It’s like another nail on the coffin. Hay, something’s been really off since VDay. Parang umiiwas na si Maine kay Alden. And even if they tried to raise the kilig in Kalyeserye, it did nothing because Sugod-Bahay is the real deal. Kalyeserye is the scripted one.
In that case, sorry to say this, pero parang unprofessional naman ni Maine pag ganun. No matter how real person she is, dapat magsink-in sa kanya na showbiz is her job and she has to act to entertain the people because it’s her job. So lahat na lang ba ng gagawin ni Maine sa harap ng camera eh based lagi sa saloobin nya? She’s giving limitation to herself. And pwedeng makasira din sa LT nila yun.
Well, Sugod-Bahay yon eh. She is Maine there. So kung ayaw nyang makipag-harutan kay Alden on cam, that’s her choice. She’s Divina in KS and in KS, she engages with KS Alden according to the script. Doon bigay na bigay sya. Pero yun nga, you can see the difference when she’s Maine in SB and when she’s Divina in KS.
You have a point though. Pero kasi napanuood ko yung previous episodes, hindi naman actually si Alden/maine ang nagiistart ng harutan or tuksuhan kundi yung Jowapao at Allan K na sa gitna ng interview nila dun sa winner eh biglang isisingit yung panunukso kay Alden at Maine. So magmumukang KJ sa TV kung hindi sasakay yung dalwa.
Well, they either know something that Maine is painstakingly trying to keep because she’s the one who’s the most withdrawn during the Alden’s attempts at harutan. OR, they’re helping Alden recover lost ground post-VDay. I think Maine doesn’t want to play with emotions. Just today, Alden greeted her on her birthday during the opening segment of EB. Alden reiterated what Maine said about not having any more wishes on her birthday because she already has everything, then he added, “Since nasa ‘yo nang lahat, pwede bang sayo na lang ako?” He said this as Alden to Maine. Lumapit si Maine sa cam and asked, “Yan ba talaga ang gusto mo?” with a serious face and voice. Alden’s face turned part-nervous and part-serious before saying, “Yan talaga gusto ko.” Maine repeated the question and Alden repeated his answer this time shoving his face to the camera. Parang ang actuation ni Maine kay Alden, if what you say is true, then do what you’re supposed to do! Like she said before, “Gawin mo. Hwag puro daldal.”
Eto naman kasing si Alden, ganon ba talaga kahirap magpunta sa Bulacan? Hindi kaladkaring babae si Maine na pwedeng ligawan lang via text or facetime. He should know this by now. Gusto ni Meng madalaw sa bahay. And at least on the first visit, she wants the guy to pay tribute to her parents and ask permission from her father kung ilalabas or liligawan nya si Meng. Mahirap ba yon?
Ang hirap kasi ng setup nila eh. Unlike other LT’s na laging magkasama sa taping at shows, si Alden at Maine eh sa Eat Bulaga lang nagklikita tapos split screen pa. They badly need a movie or TS to work on. Yung sa ligawan naman, di naman natin masisisi si Alden kung di pa sya ready. If I were him, I’ll do the same. At this rate hindi pa nya kayang pasukin ang isang serious relationship dahil sa sobrang busy nya. Pwedeng natatakot lang din sya na masaktan si Maine kapag hindi nya nameet ang expectations at demands nito bilang GF. Same goes to Maine. At bakit nga pala tayo nag-aapura na maging magjowa yung dalwa? Ayos lang naman na friends lang muna sila ngayon. Ang hindi kasi maganda sa LT na to is nahulog na ng husto si Maine, at dahil hindi naman sya showbiz girl, hindi nya alam kung paano ihahandle ang LT nila habang may feelings sya. Yan ng isang bagay na dapat nyang matutunan.
Kaya nga withdrawn si Maine as Maine sa Sugod-Bahay. Ayaw nyang makipagharutan kay Alden because she also doesn’t want to be misinterpreted or to become vulnerable to his charms. Kanina, it was again Alden who started it, flirting with Maine with words like, “Sayo na lang ako.” If that’s regular birthday speak, eh di pwede nyang sabihin yan sa kahit kaninong babae na may birthday on any day. The fact is, it is not a normal greeting to just anyone and it’s a direct suggestion of romantic intentions. It’s more than regular flirting. If he’s not ready for courtship then why say that to Maine on cam? After Maine read her poem to him last Feb 13, he should know by now that he can’t joke around with Maine on matters of the heart. Eh ba’t ginagawa pa rin nya if he’s not ready and serious about courtship? Obviously, hindi naman nagmamadali si Maine. Wala nga sa birthday wish nya ang lovelife. So anong problema ni Alden?
May point ka ulit. Pero di kasi natin alam ang nangyayari sa likod ng camera. Panu kung instruction pala yun ni Jenny ferre or kanya-kanyang management nila. Sa totoo lang brokenhearted ako ngayon hindi dahil sa real-status ni Alden at Maine kundi dahil sa kinahinatnan ng KS at LT nila. Masyaodng umasa ang writers sa chemistry nilang dalwa to the point na di na nila alam kung san dadalhin ang show. Honestly, hindi big deal sakin kung maging sila man or hindi but I want this LT to soar higher – concerts, movies, teleseryes pero seems like mahaba pa ang lalakbayin nitong KS. This phenomenon deserves a remarkable ending. At bakit pa kasi hindi pa sinasagot ni Divina si Alden? That should happen long time ago na ah. may 3 conditions nga eh. I am thinking na hinhintay ni Jenny Ferre na magkatuluyan yung dalawa then saka isasabay sa story. Tsk tsk. That’s a very very wrong move. Pastillas girl/tomiho na ang dating
You know what? I just finished watching KS right now. I set my expectations really really really low. And yet I can’t explain how deflated I am of the episode. Today is Maine’s b-day and at the same time the 33rd weeksary. So ano yung pinanood ko? Parang walang plano for Maine today. Seriously. Ano yon? So yes, I agree with you 100%. KS is going down the sewer. Birthday ni Maine today and 33rd weeksary. Broadway was filled to the rafters. Tapos yon and ibibigay nila sa mga tao? Wow naman. Imagine, hindi na nga ako nag-expect, na hopia pa rin ako! LOL
@nine. regarding naman dyan sa episode today. I expect talaga na onti lang ang ganap para sa bday ni Maine kasi yung buong Saturday na darating eh yun mismo ang para sa bday nya. As in yung buong saturday episodes. I expect actually na may ganap kay patricia bilang 1st bday nya to sa EB pero wala namang ganap. Kahit blow the candle ata wala. KS lang napanood ko today.
Hindi rin,nail in a coffin?ganun na ba ka harsh si Alden Kay Maine?eh baka nga kapag nag confirm na sila pareho baka pare pareho tayong bokya eh,mahirap husgahan si Richard Hindi pa natin sya kilala,pero mas gusto ko yung ganyang style nya its like Bruce Wayne/tony stark rolled into one baka nga magkaiba iba tayo ng perception as a male and female,pero kung ako tatanungin nyo kung gusto nila ang isat Isa?sasabihin ko YES!masarap magmahal,ako hanggang ngayon di nagbago love ko Kay misis maski mahirap sya ligawan noon,dadaan din si Richard sa stage na yun,ang sabi nya Kay Maine “parang ikaw mahirap,pero worth it”
Is there a link where you can view the ratings over a period of time? Also, how about tweet count? Meron din ba? Local ratings are important because advertisers use that as their gauge.To me, para kasing stock market yan. You look for stocks that are behaving in a steady manner. If EB is steady at around 20% +/- 2% then that means that 1 out of 5 household is watching it. Mataas yan for a noontime show kasi nasa trabaho ang mga tao sa mga oras na yun. Tweet counts are also important because advertisers look at social media impact. I-check ko nga sa Google kung may mga link at mapag-aralan.
I hear you though. The last couple shows were “Meh” shows for me. I keep on watching because of RFJ and NDCM but pati sila parang sawa na rin sa palitan ng pick-up lines. Kaya ata nilalaglag na sila nila Jose at Wally. Sometimes I feel that the Jowapao is tired of the ‘stretching’ so they’re forcing the issue to management to set the couple free. Opinyon ko lang.
The Lolas and RFJ will be out during the Holy Week but that’s when EB shows their Lenten segments anyway. But, it will be interesting to see what happens if the couple decide to take the opportunity to go to NY for their serenpidity date at around that time also. Handa na ba ang ADN?
Sayang napabayaan. Tweets are low. I think the VDay fiasco took its toll. Dati laman ng pep.ph at fashionpulis and even the broadsheets ang AlDub. Ngayon maswerte na kung may isang article. JaDine has taken over. They have a movie, another teleserye and world tour. Tayo we get by with KS, the Unilab thingie and the TNT concert and the TVCs. Hopefully Alden saved enough. I think it is not lost though. Their management just have to wake up. End KS and start a movie or TS. Puro tsismis lang ang nababasa ko about a movie or TS. Honestlt, I don’t even watch KS anymore – nakikibalita na lang from friends if the replay is worth watching and sadly isa na lang sa aming group ang nanonood.
Good you mentioned the tweets. I noticed that too, that people doesn’t tweet as much. Of course the big fandoms are still there with the tireless admins that keep going kahit walang sense basta makapag tweet lang. Kudos to them kaya nakakahinayang if things spiral down. I just hope na may surprise sila ulit with this mahiwagang box na ayaw pabuksan ni Lola. I remember kasi before TP di ba ayaw din niyang buksan ang folder? Sana may ganon ulit to lift up this blanket of doubt (whatever it is) amongst us. I think EB/TAPE owes this to Aldubnation who just a few months ago made them number 1..only to be let down.
I don’t read the tweets of the big fandoms anymore. Ayoko nang kumain ng hopia. I try not to watch the Instagrams/BTS vids anymore. I don’t want to misread their intentions like I did with the VDay balloons vid of A. I saw something there that obviously wasn’t there. I just want my AlDub moments from before. KS isn’t doing it for me. As Nine pointed above SB is not giving kilig either. The hugot lines and jokes seem forced now. I just want an AlDub movie and/or TS. I think I am beginning to accept that A and M are too different to be a real couple. The chemistry is there though so I want to see more of those onscreen – kinda like JLC and BA or Vilma and Christopher – the are not involved (jury is out on the first couple) but they definitely have screen magic. Their movies are always worth watching. I also hope M and A are working to improve in their craft. M’s singing voice is nice. She is not Sarah G but then again who is? She can definitely do a Nadine and do a concert – she just needs to have the confidence and training – and wise song selection. Hopefully she can also attend some workshops. I cringe a bit when she is trying to act. I know she will get there. She just needs some training. She can probably tackle something like English Only Please (without the motel scenes haha, I still want my M to be virginal) and eventually she can do a Walang Forever type movie – JM and JR were very impressive and effective. I just desperately want A and M to get out of KS and do projects that they and their audience deserve.
I think NDCM and RFJ realized that going out on a date on Vday is a bad idea. Dudumugin lang sila and there won’t be any quality time for them anyway. It would have a been a showbiz date. RFJ has always been sensitive to NDCM’s introvert personality and has taken a lot of bashings to protect her. Maybe that’s also the reason why they decided for him not to be in Vic/Pauleen’s reception anymore. The two of them together would have taken all the attention away from the Bosleng. Pero baka naman masyado lang akong bilib sa pagkatao nila. I’m funny that way.
I think EB’s is goal is 20% rating and at east 1 million tweets a day. I hope they achieve that or else affected din sila RFJ and NDCM as artists but I don’t think money is an issue for them right now. I read somewhere that endorsements are on the average 5 million pesos each and at last count, they’ve done at least 35( All figures unverified).
Maybe EB/GMA is planning or doing something in the background. They better be, this tandem is their cash cow right now.
By the way, thanks to @nine, I watched replays of the two shows mentioned above. Iba ang interpretation ko, eh but that’s the beauty of this very intelligent site. We can agree to disagree w/o being disagreeable, naks. (My English teacher would be so proud of me)
Carpe diem, children! There’s more to life than Eat Bulaga.
@Uncle Vic – True there is more to life than Eat Bulaga! My addiction has waned a lot to the point of not watching KS anymore. At the height of my addiction, I would scour the net for news and watch KS at least 5 times. Namemorize ko na nga ang ibang dialogue. I must have watched the mansion episode 30 times at least. That remains to be my most favorite episode. For me that is the most real – the look on RFJ’s face as he was about to enter the car is priceless. I still read showbiz news once in a while and go to this blog to see if there is anything worth watching or looking into. In spite of this, I still want M and A to be successful and fulfilled in their careers. Even tough my addiction has ceased I still want the best for the two of them and will continue to support their movies and TS. I think there is more to M and A than Eat Bulaga.
Don’t apologize for your addiction. They hooked an ex-Ranger kaya it can happen to anybody. My personal philosophy is that you should leave the people/place a bit better than you first find it and NDCM & RFJ has done that or are doing that. Of course, there are other people there that can be role models, too but at least for this fandom, A&M are doing a good job.
This couple are very intelligent and can see through the syrupy & sycophantic praises. Remember the “bakit ako” comment? They know themselves and their limitations and are doing the best they can to hone their craft. If only (other’s) greed gives them more time.
The fan base will probably shrink through attrition as those who were attractive by the novelty loses interest and leave. Those who’ll stay are currently in the second hard look phase. It’s like the feeling ng mag BF at the second year. Palipas na ang kilig at na-realize mo na hindi pala gumagamit ng dental floss and BF mo-haw haw. I’m making light of it but the point is that this where you start asking yourself -itutuloy ko pa ba ito?
I believe that the best is yet to come for these two. Their upside is just damn good. Huwag lang sanang gatasan hanggang magsawa ang mga tao pagkatapos, ibato na lang sa isang tabi. Isa pa, ingatan lang nila si Menggay at baka mamaya wala ng “char” at sabihin niya talaga ang nasa loobin niya. Tingin ko siya talaga ang reyna ng GMA ngayon so they better take care of her
@uncle Vic – rehabilitated na po ako 😄 PTL! Pero hindi ako nanghihinayang sa addiction ko. During that time I was able to look at my ex relationship with clearer eyes and mind. We are talking again. AlDub might be the reason why I could have a love life again. For that I am forever thankful. Come to think of it maybe the reason I’m not as addicted is that my personal life us much better.
@ Uncle Vic – I also just watched the two episodes Nine alluded to. Mukhang pareho tayo ng interpretation. I didn’t see what Nine saw. Kanya kanya talaga tayo ng interpretation base sa nararamdaman natin at expectations natin.
@Funny Girl…In fairness to ADN, tweets are low because as soon as they hit 1M tweets, they immediately switch to tweet-voting for Maine in KCA. I have to admit that they care more about making sure Maine wins in KCA than the tweet count for #Aldub. This of course is an offshoot of the VDay fiasco. When the Vday fiasco happened, the admins of ADN collectively decided to channel their energies in making sure that Maine wins in KCA than make any statement about the fiasco. Kumbaga, don nila binuhos yong sama ng loob nila. LOL And it worked. From less than 2M lead over Kathryn Bernardo, Maine is now leading by 6.1M. Their target lead for Maine is 10M.
That’s a good point Nine. I don’t really have numbers but it just feels like it will be hard to match even the 5M tweet in a 24 hour period. What bothers me about Aldenatics partying without Maine and Maine fans celebrating without Alden is that it feels like the demarcation lines are being drawn. I hope it’s not the beginning of the breakup of ADN. I don’ t venture into IG and fan sites anymore. I did a few days after VDay and it wasn’t pretty. Nagbibilangan ang fans kung sino ang nagpasikat kanino. That’s not the fandom I joined. I think my approach to treat them as a love team instead of wishing they are more than that helped my mental state and get weaned from this. I will watch EB today and Saturday to enjoy Maine’s bday celebrations. I will not read anything from the tweets or pronouncements.
@Funny Girl…I personally don’t have any problems about Aldenatics partying without Maine, or Alden not being at Maine’s b-day bash hosted by Mainenatics. They do have their own separate fandoms and if the party is with their respective fans, I think the two take it upon themselves to give way out of respect for each other’s fan group, This allows them to support each other’s individuality, which is good for their career growth. What’s bad is when Maine is not at Alden’s fan club party or is not invited and Alden’s fans decide to invite his old LT which they prefer for him. For me, that’s a hit below the belt. Hwag naman ganon. If it’s a FC party for Alden or Maine, it should just be for Alden or Maine. If the FC decides to invite guests, they should invite the current LT first, and the presence of the current LT should determine whether they will invite other guests or not. Respeto lang.
Alden is admittedly super seloso. He said so himself. How would he or his fans feel if Jake Ejercito was invited at Maine’s FC party? Diba hindi maganda? Again, it’s all about RESPECT.
Well if you support each FC doing their own thing I guess they can invite who they want. Feeling ko lang masyadong obvious na ang demarcation unlike noong umpisa pa lang. Parang pataasan sila. It is sad that the so called one sided fans are the ones bringing the whole ADN down. Parang ang dami nang kanya kanyang agenda to the detriment of the team. It saddens me na they seem to be on a downward spiral – the ratings, tweets. At the height of ALDub they could easily do at least 30m tweets para tambakan si Kathryn. Ngayon pahirapan pa. I don’t understand why the management can’t give us more concrete ideas kung kailan ang umpisa ng movie or TS. I know a lot of people who have moved on. They should do something before the next shiny thing comes and AlDub becomes a thing if the past.
@Funny Girl…Like I said, Alden and Maine each having their own fanclubs doesn’t excempt either fanclub from following protocol. There are unspoken rules when your idol is in a partnership. Even if you are just looking at this LT in it’s most basic form as a business tandem, there are still protocols to be followed. It’s like when two companies sign a merger, neither one of them can entertain other potential corporate partners. Kasi nga may partner na sila. Respeto lang. It’s part of the protocols of partnership. Fandoms should know and follow these protocols because in its most basic sense, the LT of Alden and Maine is a business partnership. Even more serious protocols should be followed if they progress to a higher level of relationship and end up like DongYan. Again, like I said, RESPECT is something they should observe. Kung may respeto, it’s much easier for ADN to unite the fandoms when the two have joint projects.
About their teleserye, my suspicion is that TAPE doesn’t want to release Maine to GMA Artist Center for co-management. The reason is obvious. They don’t want Maine to be abused or misused. Wala pang napapasikat ang GMAAC on their own. Ang Tape ang dami na. Marian Rivera started with Tape. Maine is Tape. And Alden’s career spiked to the level it is today after he joined EB under Tape. TAPE feels that they should be the one to produce the TS for primetime. GMA wouldn’t give a primetime slot to TAPE. Kaya ayan, stalemate.
Well it’s their party. They can invite who they want. Just keep it on the down low para walang beast mode na ADN. As I said kanya kanyang agenda to the detriment of A and M. Maraming tumiwalag after the VDay fiasco. Same thing with GMA and Tape if your interpretation is correct. Pataasan ang dalawang grupo again to the detriment of A and M. By the time na magkasundo ang dalawa baka konti na lang ang audience. Ako I will just enjoy Maine ‘s bday and if KS improves I might come back. Otherwise I will eagerly await the movie or TS. Wag lang patagalin. If by the time JaDine’s new TS comes at wala pa ang AlDub TS I might give it a shot. I heard a lot of good things about OTWOL. I doubt I will care for them as much as AlDub though.
@Funny Girl…speaking of Jadine, dahil sa drought ng Aldub, nanood ako ng BTS ng shooting nila sa OTWOL sa youtube. Pwede nang pantawid gutom. Hahaha! Pero, hindi pa rin le-level sa Aldub pre-VDay. Haaaay!
@nine, I don’t think plan na ico-manage ng GMAAC si Maine dahil never in their entire existence sila nagco-manage ng artista. Marian is only under Popoy/TAPE in her entire existence in GMA. The thing is, galing na mismo kay Mr. T, eh hindi pa nila kayang pakawalan si Maine kasi mapipilay yung Eat Bulaga. That’s the reason din kung bakit hindi pa pinapasama si Maine sa shows ni Alden abroad.
@Concerned Citizen, actually, under Tape si Marian when she was still doing supporting roles in afternoon telenovelas. She left Tape and was taken by Popoy under a co-management arrangement with GMAAC. That’s why when she went back to Tape, she had to drop Popoy, which sent their 7-year relationship into a bitter end. Hindi si Popoy ang kapartner ng Tape otherwise she would still be co-managed by Popoy right now given that she’s back with Tape.
@Nine. Hindi po naging co-manager ni yanyan ang GMAAC. Contract star po sya ng GMA under Luminary talent agency (Popoy). Nung time na nasa TAPE pa si Yanyan eh sa TAPE shows lang din sya lumalabas (that time po eh hawak pa ng TAPE ang afternoon block ng GMA). Yung pag-alis naman nya kay popoy eh ibang issue yun.
Sister Bae twitted, greeted bibi girl happy birthday and called her “ATE”!!!! Wala lang! Happy happy dance in my little corner of forever! HAHAHA 😀 😀 😀
OMG! Then Daddy Bae twitted “wish ko punta sa B” tapos erase agad! Waaah! HIndi ko muna na screen shot!! Replaced nya with bday twit to “Meng”!! May liwanag na tumatawag sa akin! HAHAHA
Saw that too. The tweet for Riza. ATE daw o! 🙂 so happy!! Im not expecting a tweet from Alden though as i know he called her. Ala lang, naisip ko lang after the facetime revelation kahapon napanatag ang heart ko that both of them are secure with each other. May observation lang ako after watching the videos of Maine’s bday with fans, i had the impression that Maine’s parents are not too keen on A&M being a couple. I guess they find it too soon. But Meng has always been different from her siblings. She is the only one from the brood who ventured away from the nest – spending 6 months in NY at 19yrs old and now living on her own in a condo. Even Ate Dub with her own family still lives with the parentals. So she knows what she wants and i think even if hadlangan man ng sangkaterba, she will defy everyone for love.
@yellowmellow Yup! Doubt if we’ll see any tweets from Tisoy, maybe a short one, a photo or an emoji later in the day nothing elaborate though, not his style. I don’t know if you noticed Daddy Bae’s tweets – first it was with one “Happy”, deleted that and replaced with “Happy happy”, deleted that and replaced it with “Happy happy happy”. Ewan ko kung pinalitan na ulit, I’m at work and not supposed to be using our personal cellphones but I can’t help it kasi sumasabog na ang notifs ko…..hahaha
Oh! His tweet about wanting to go to “B”? That was deleted and replaced with added emojis….ewan ko lang talaga kung aabutin sila nang 5 years pa. For those who are saying that they are still too young, age is just a number. Age does not define one’s maturity level. I’ve known teens who were more matured than their parents. RJ and Meng are old souls with high EQ’s, if they do decide to take the plunge in less than five years, I believe that they have it in them to surpass the SB winner’s 52 years of marriage 😀
Oh my gosh! My hopia heart! 🙂 would be lovely to see them in Balesin… or Batangas?! 🙂 as i doubt EB management will spend that much money on a Balesin getaway. Medyo cheapipay ng slight ang TAPE. Alden’s bday celeb at EB was so kids party-ish. Sorry po but the nakasipit na pictures of Alden while Meng was singing was not too nice. Kulang na lang magpa-party games sila with matching clown. It was not classy. Meng’s bday celebration organized by her bonggacious fans at Centris was….bonggacious. Masyadong matipid. It took them 6months bago nag-Taal Vista getaway.
ac2lly, tama ka. Bonggacious ang fans ni Maine na nagorganize ng event sa Centris lang naman at galing sa sarili nilang bulsa. hahaha. Yung kay Alden naman, i think galing kasi sa bakasyon lahat kaya hindi ganung napaghandaan.
Even so po @concerned citizen. I know everyone just had their xmas break that time. But Alden was as phenomenal and as important as Meng so i was expecting a more classy bday celebration for him. I actually stopped watching on LS nung lumabas si Alden on his hoverthingy. Sabi ko “hay, naman EB… seriously?”
Anyway, nakikinood lang naman ako so anung pake nila sa akin. Hehe. I do have a choice though to turn off the TV when i think that they are giving me half-baked goods. And so far, i think they are running out of ideas for KS. Not too keen to watch it kase paulit-ulit na lang. Ang walang katapusang secrets ni LolaNidora. Lol. Diary nuon, Sing-sing and now ang mahiwagang small box. Wattpad Aldub fanfics are more exciting and .. creative 🙂
@yellowmellow it is not surprising that M had a bonggacious bday celeb since it was (well) organized by all M’s FCs..planning and execution of the event must and should be based on what FCs think M prefers from theme, color, VIPs, and so on..it was all concocted to be (of course) a SPECIAL Birthday celebration for M. It was the FIRST bday celeb of M being the “Phenomenal Celebrity” and FIRST get together of all M’s FCs so granted na (dapat) BONGGA talaga..daba?
As for A’s bday naman…di na bago for him to celebrate a “special’ celeb being in the show business for quite sometime..tho it was I believe an “extra” special one since mas madami nagyon ang nagmamahal sa kanya. Plus the fact na he celebrated it with M who is extra special (ika nga nya). GANOIN!
Baka mahopia tayo sa Balesin hahhah! But still I have no doubt that he is doing something extra special for M mapa on cam or off cam man yan. So chill lang.
Wag tayo mangealam kasi di naman tayo ang BERTDEY celebrant!hahhah!
@perstaymer virtual hugs, ateng! 🙂 feeling close din ako sayo. Starting to doubt that forever exists between these two. I think i may need to stop with my delusions of forever. Hehe. There’s more to life than EB, anyway. As for today, absolutely no chance of finding out if they will go out on a date. Meng is with her barkadas. Come to think if it, i may have wasted 33 weeks of my life for this. Well, what the heck! Im giving myself until saturday. After that, im done. Walang Forever! 🙂 hehe. Kainis! (Just ranting, housemates. Pasensya na.)
@yellowmellow M’s being strangely awkward to A in the past few days kept me wondering as well..(I may consider this as a sign that A is officially courting M)
She was teary eyed while A’s giving her his message..and prangkahan na di naman bago ung message..same lang din ng wish ng lahat but you can see it in her eyes kung gaano sya natouch..
PS
I am still on the Maichard ship dear..may Forever dito sa dalawa na to..;)
Why do everyone keep on insisting na nagiistay sa condo si Maine? Napatunayan na yan na gawa gawa lang ng mga hopia accounts yung condo. Umuuwi si maine sa bahay nya araw-araw. She’s a family woman. Yung pagpunta nya sa NY eh syempre opportunity yun na di nya palalagpasin. Hello, hindi naman ganung kalayo ang Sta. Maria sa Quezon City. Mas malayo ng di hamak yung Laguna ni tisoy.
@concerned citizen – disagree po ako sa inyo about sa condo. She’s been staying in a condo for sometime na. She owns it or her family owns it. You can check out ung youtube video ng niceprintphotography. Her sisters said that very very seldom na sila nagkikita ni Meng. Once in a blue moon was their exact words. From that statement plus the numerous SCs she had of her condo, we can conclude po na she is indeed staying in one. Ok lang nman po iyon kase she is of age na. I find it praiseworthy nga kase she chose to be independent. But i think she is staying there mostly on days na may shoot sya and she’s with her younger brother too.
I’m surprised the fans were not on their beast mode since there was no bday greeting from Alden on Instagram and Twitter. I’m here in the Phils, just disappointed did not get a chance to go watch live eb so busy. Leaving for LA today at 12:50 pm would not get a glimpse of bday celebration today of Maine. Divinas ibday is Saturday so sad…. Team replay na Lang me….
Im not expecting any beastmode from fans either Issa. Like me, the facetime reveal yesterday is enough to calm ADN. And most are excited sa birthday gift ni Tisoy kay Meng. Well, if pagaganahin ko ang aking imagination… im hoping na plane ticket to NewYork ang gift 🙂 Alden’s Ilustrado is nominated for an award in NY. If he decide to come for the ceremony, it would be lovely to see both of them walk the red carpet together. And siyempre, pasyal pasyal sa Central Park during their private time.
Hello po Uncle Vic! How’s your day po? Aside from kat….sudon, any hula sa gift ni Alden for Maine? For the NY Festivals, awarding ceremony will be on 19 April at West Gate Casino in Las Vegas. Im hoping they will attend together 🙂 yiheee!!
Yung Paella pero yung second, medyo mahirap hulaan. Baka yung ticket pero kung papayag si tatay.
Day’s pretty good. Tapos na ang inventaryo at maraming buntis kaya will be busy this season. I’m still trying to catch the llama. Ang tsismis e barkada na raw ng mga baka at madalas nga daw silang mag-inuman pag wala ako.
Kung Vegas lang, I can probabaly do a day trip. I hate cigarette smoke
I think they’ve exhausted their beasts within two weeks ago. LOL So ngayon, everyone’s looking up because there’s no other way but up when you’re at the bottom of the barrel.
If you’re reading IG, twitter, or FB, there are no leads whatsoever about what could happen today. No one is verbalizing their hopes for a grand gesture from Alden. Lahat takot ma-hopia. Hahaha! No one wants to risk getting emotionally deflated kaya everyone has lowered their expectations. That way, when something big happens, they can better appreciate it given that it was unexpected.
Actually, that’s a good thing! Tama lang naman na hindi talaga tayo nageexpect ng bongga para pati tayo eh nasusurprise din at kung wala mang ganap eh hindi tayo magalit Kay Alden/Maine
Ang totyal ng bibi girl natin! Lang Leav and Michael Faudet lang naman ang nag-greet. Seriously im super excited today. Im home in bed with flu pero todo stalk sa twitter and instagram. I guess im not yet ready to let go of my AlDub obsession. I have a feeling that di aabot ng 5 years ang dalawa. Looking at the pics sa instagram, increasing amount of pics with kids/babies ang peg ni Meng and Tisoy. Even during her bday celebration, she was holding Matti on her lap. The feels! Mommy na mommy si Menggay 🙂 I was imagining the first bday of their panganay. Anyway, i think medyo name-MaiChard na yata ako. Sabi ko na e, bawal mag stalk sa social media. The effect is high chance of delusional wishful thinking. Hehe. Dahil sick leave, i get to watch the KS episodes i missed. And tadaaa, super loved the wedding scene 🙂 Did any of you notice when Alden suddenly carried Meng and walked not towards the backstage but dun sa Artist exit of Broadway? Cute lang! Mukhang balak na nyang isakay sa kotse paalis ng BW and papunta sa langit. Haha!
At dahil i have time to spare, sorry Sir Vilo but will flood your comment section po. Happiest birthday to our baby girl! Much love sa inyo ni Tisoy…
Who is Alden’s destiny? What an irony, Maine, Patricia and gicelle (Japan girl) have the same bday. I don’t wanna be nega, but those two girls have been linked to him… Gosh … Goosebumps, the universe is confused….. Pero mekasabihan sa capampangan huling kabit Mano, so si Maine ang huli, si Maine destiny….funny Lang me. Don’t misunderstood the word kabit here ok, it means last one attached is the first in his heart…..Baka me mangaaway sa akin….
Oo nga ano! All three girls have the same birthdays. And i heard Giecelle is in Pinas to celebrate her birthday. Hmmm, my evil side is thinking na baka kaya nasa Coffee Beans sa Tagaytay si Tisoy kagabi kase he met up with her. At bakit ba kase type na type nya tumambay sa Tagaytay eh taga Laguna sya? He’s been snapped there a couple of times having dinner or just hanging out. Plus Giecelle is Tenten’s niece, di ba? So ayun, im torturing myself with these thoughts syempre. Just the thought..ugh! Aha, ito pala ung bipolar na sinasabi. I think im one of them na. Hehe. AlDub, what have you done!
@issa – ingat sa byahe! Hopefully you get to visit EB pagbalik mo ng Pinas. Share your experience sa amin ha. Been 4 yrs since I last went home, im missing Pinas terribly. Sarap magpalipad ng saranggola dun sa bukid malapit sa amin or magtampisaw sa ilog. At 40 yrs old, i would probably do that when i get home. Weird na kung weird! 🙂 hehe.
Ateng, malapit lang po yung Sta. Rosa sa Tagaytay so hindi naman ganung kaeffort na pumunta or dumaan si Alden doon. I think hindi naman totoo yung sa gicelle. Dahil kung gf ni Alden yun, nakupo sobra akong naaawa kay tisoy. May obsession kaya yung babaeng yun.
Ugh, because of this, I went to her twitter account. Her birthday is March 1. And it appears that she spent her birthday in Tokyo Disneyland. Based on her twitter posts, parang nasa Japan pa sya.
What? Pamangkin sya ni Mama Ten? Whaaat? LOL Kaloka!
At dahil tengga mode ako today, @Concerned Citizen, i went to google earth to research about Sta. Rosa to Tagaytay route. Hmm, onga. May chance na he goes there to unwind. Malapit nga lang naman. And to think na he loves long drives, nare-relax daw sya.
@Nine – ha! I went to her IG too. Nasa Disneyland nga sya on her bday. Buti naman. My evil side on rest mode. Haha!
Speaking of Jadine, they are actually very talented. Ang galing ng management arm nila. They had several albums, movies and a hit teleserye under their belt. Add nyo pa yung World Tour nila this march. Wow. As in wow. Yun pa nga lang TnT production number ng AlDub, medyo teary-eyed na ako e… lalo na if i see them doing a movie or a teleserye. Hay, feeling ko i adopted two kids. Stage mother ang peg! 🙂
Para ma sure, pinuntahan ko na rin and fb nya. LOL Nasa Japan pa sya based on her fb posts. And speaking of Jadine, si Nadine talented, pero is James kelangan mag-acting school pa. Kaya nga BTS ang pinapanood ko kasi walang kwenta ang delivery ni lalake ng dialogue. At least sa BTS puro bloopers at landian. You know what you’re getting. LOL
Oh my gosh, did any of you see the JFAAFJ segment? “Sayo na lang ako” – Alden. Im so confused with these two. Nakakalito na kayo ha. Alden, she’s Maine and not Divina ha. Ano ba talaga? Hay naku, maka-log off nga muna sa internet world at makasagap ng fresh air. Maghahanap ako ng gumamela at santan. Jog muna ako. Laters everyone! 🙂
Sigurado yun si Richard yung nag sabi Kay Maine na “sa iyo na lang ako” kasi wala naman sila sa KS eh,so walang halong kaplastikan yun,bka ang dating na naman sa iba nega para Kay Alden,haaays sir vilo sori po and guys,binibigyan ko lang ng justice si Richard,thanks
Ok lang @Jojo. Its just me. Nalilito kase ako. I dont know kung biruan lang nila yun ni Maine or hindi. Anyway, this is the first time ever in my 40yrs na humanga ako sa artista. So i guess, this is normal. Yung feeling confused sa real score ng iniidolo mo. Sumilip ako sa Jadine fan account and i noticed they had bipolar tendencies din. Hihi. Talagang nag-research. Anyway, im happy for both of them.
Thank you po,saka ask ko lang guys ,what if gusto ni Maine si richard may magagawa ba tayo?kaya wala tayong karapatan husgahan either Isa sa kanila,kung ako tatanungin kung mahal ba sya ni Richard?ask Wally bayola parin.
Dudutungan ko yung sinabi ni Maine na wala daw syang wish para sa birthday nya,then Jose asked si Alden Hindi mo ba wish sa bday mo?sabi ni menggay “EH NANDYAN NA SYA EH” booooommm!!!!!!Alden scores!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished watching KS right now. I set my expectations really really really low. And yet I can’t explain how deflated I am of the episode. Today is Maine’s b-day and at the same time the 33rd weeksary. So ano yung pinanood ko? Parang walang plano for Maine today. Seriously, ano yon? Is KS going down the sewer? Birthday ni Maine today and 33rd weeksary. Broadway was filled to the rafters. Tapos yon and ibibigay nila sa mga tao? Wow naman. Imagine, hindi na nga ako nag-expect, na hopia pa rin ako! LOL
I was a bit disappointed myself as well. I don’t know but it seemed like Maine was a bit offish with Alden. I can’t help but feel sorry for him. Maybe tampuhan? But like what Alden said, no room for bad vibes…hopefully the Saturday celebration will be something special.
Back from jogging, logged on sa Instagram – and whoala! Daming na-hopia 🙂 so decided to watch the replay. And ahmmm, honestly… Maine is not as excited as before. This coming from a person who watched all 32 weeksaries. First time I’ve seen her this deadma kay Alden. Reason one – she’s overwhelmed and surprised. Reason two – she’s tired. Reason three – they had dinner and nag-hang out last night kaya di na sya ganun ka-excited today.
Dahil i want to be happy today kc I finished 5km at naka-spot ng gumamelang kulay fink, I would go for Reason No. 3.
Funny lang @concerned citizen. Wishful thinking to tide things over sa very disappointing KS ep today. Hihi. But looking forward sa saturday Maine event 🙂
@yellowmellow
Congratsie sa nahanap mong gumamela na kulay fenk at sa 5km. 5km is ah may zing.
I’d go for reason no. 1 – she’s overwhelmed.
It’s the same things during Alden’s birthday and tamang panahon.
When she’s overwhelmed and surprised…hindi niya alam paano mag react. When she tries to keep the tears from falling, tumatahimik siya at hindi makatingin. 🙂
ganun rin siya nung birthday ni alden while pinapasalamatan siya ni Alden sa mga ginagawa niya for him. 🙂
Nahihiya lang yan si Maine,pero tuwang tuwa yun,kinikilig di nga sya showy talaga,yung batuhan nila Richard sa Broadway nung sinabi ni Richard “eh di sayo narin ako” tapos binasag ni Maine na “sigurado ka ba?” Then naka score si Richard nun sabi nya “ikaw Maine sigurado ka?,ako sigurado ako” yun walang halong showbiz yun.
@perstaymer… Hi guys… Checking in for #attagurls team… Been back to being a silent lurker for the past few days, kinda busy kse so i was just silently reading the comments here, & just like what @jilai said, nothing significant happening yet on KS & MAICHARD till Mengs’s bday.
Still #Team Kampante with regards to Maichard so no worries for me. With regards to M’s supposed coldness to A during her bday, i think it was more like mixed emotions of being overwhelmed and her being introvert kicking in again coz of the lola’s song, the presence of her friends and A of course. But i believe there is nothing more than that, just Maine being herself specially when the spotlight is on her.
Let’s wait & see on EB’s bday celebration of Maine on sat., hopefully everything turns out fine so we can all meet here at sir vilo’s blog & have a blissful & kilig filled discussion.
Shout out & ang kaway kaway 👋👋 to @jilai,@ perstaymer, @k, @aiofthebeholder and all those who love RJ & Nicomaine😘😍💋
@Perstaymer I meant to ask you, did you see last Saturday’s KS episode? For some reason when A took his shirt off, you came to mind! Did you get a glimpse of the kat…sudon!
@K omeged!!!nataranta ko dun my dear…ang dibdiban naman talaga e naghihimutok!!!parang gusto ko sumigaw ng more more at lower lower!!wahahaha!!Joke lang po Sir Vilo!
Kahit nga si bibi gurl nadistract e..omegedddd malapitan kasi!!hahaha!
@Perstaymer BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Kung puede lang ako mag click ng ‘like’ sa comment mo, yun nalang ginawa ko. Pero ha, sa sobrang himutok di napigilan! Grabeh sya! Ibaban na talaga tayo ni Vilo neto. Naku huwag po!!!
@Persytaymer – Bonjour mon ami! Hindi pa ako tapos mag basa and I came across this holler from you 😀 Ano ganap at sumasabog na naman ang blog ni Sir Vilo?? HAHAHA
So, kamusta na tayo dyan mga friendship? Mixed feelings, anger, disappointments at hopia ang general consensus on today’s EB. Hinay hinay lang po. As Kuya Jojo (pasenya na po, as I mentioned b4 feelingera lang po ako talaga 😀 ), has mentioned before medyo ma layo layo pa ang MaiChard sa end game. Wala pa nga sa kalahati eh. I read one comment indicating how they saw Meng as distant and indifferent to Tisoy today (or for the last week or so) . May I first say how true it is that not everyone has the same point of view, not everyone will agree with what they see when they look at the same picture? So here’s my mini thesis on why Meng has been the way she has been this past week (pasensya na ulit Sir Vilo, ‘eto na naman po ako): First – has everyone understood that Meng is a self-proclaimed introvert and pessimist by nature? If you still don’t get that about her or understand what it means then may I suggest that you please research it first? Otherwise you will forever be stuck in the hopia cycle if you will keep analyzing Meng’s (and even Tisoy’s) movements as is. I’m not being a know it all (I’m not even smart just a smart-ass….hehehe) but I say all that from experience. Like Meng, I prefer my own company at times, I have a small circle of friends that I get silly with and I’m not big on crowds (they make me very nervous). I have a dry sense of humor that few people get or understand. Just a short explanation on why I relate so much to Meng and her situation. ( I also wanted to be an actress but my parents were against it, which is why I’m so proud of the bibi for pursuing her dreams even though it’s a profession that is against her nature). OK before I start going off tangent, here’s my observation: since the Tagaytay trip and Meng’s poem (not to mention the corner lip kiss), Tisoy has been slowly (but surely) been vocal about their off cam relationship. Little comments and facial expressions here and there that you will definitely miss if you’re not closely listening or paying attention. The last couple of days has been worst for Meng ( I think ) as it looks like Wally and Jose has decided to join Tisoy in voicing out as to what MIGHT be going on between the two outside of EB. I don’t see her actions towards Tisoy as distant or indifferent, I see it as nervousness and quite possibly, slight panic, on as to what he might say or do next. I think it was Meng herself who had said that Tisoy was pabebe, as in walang makakapigil sa kanya once he fully decides on something. And it looks like Tisoy has decided that he wants people to start knowing about their off cam relationship. Introverts are very private people, specially when it comes to personal relationships. We’re an affectionate bunch but we’re not flaunters, we like to keep things on the down low. To have everyone know that you have a personal relationship with one Alden Richards? Not Richard Faulkerson, Jr., not RJ, not Tisoy but THE Alden Richards??? A guy that has groups of women create the #thirstytitas, #pexers, #teamalembong and I’m sure many others (if you don’t know who they are, check them out on twitter). Dang! Do you know what that can do to one’s psyche, let alone to one who is an introvert??? In her mind, how can someone like HIM actually like, or even possibly love, someone like her? He is THE pambansang bae, granted (and let’s all be honest now) Tisoy would not be at the showbiz height that he’s at now without Meng (just as Meng would not be at this showbiz height so quickly in such a short period of time without Tisoy, they’re a package deal), while she’s a nobody who’s just trying her luck in showbiz (again, this is the way we introverts think). I absolutely feel for her and I myself am panicking as to what Tisoy may have in store for Saturday. If his speech on his birthday to her is any indication then he may just tell the whole world how he really feels about her (if he decides “to hell with management”). Unless, she can knock some sense into him between now and Saturday, bibi girl is going to be on pins and needles and will LOOK as if she’s ignoring Tisoy all together just so that SHE can keep herself together. Her main focus and objective is to not lose composure in front of thousands of people. Ok, so there’s a brief not so brief analysis on why our Menggay has been the way she has been the last couple of days. And just as with any other opinions and what-nots here, you can take everything I’ve just pointed out with a grain of salt. Have a blessed day y’all and try not to overthink KS anymore. I suggest that you just enjoy the jokes and their silly antics, as they say, laughter adds years to your life. If you start overthinking and stressing of “are they or are they not” then you’re losing about a year of your life for every minute that you stress about it…..CHAR!! Hahaha…
Oh, and one more thing – it is very unfair to compare TIsoy and Meng with anyone in showbiz and I mean ANYONE. Whether it be JaDine or even to the Dantes. Meng and Tisoy’s unconventional relationship, from how it started to how it’s going, is unlike anyone or anything that any of us have ever seen. I’m not going to go into all the differences between the 2 other couples and the chickidees otherwise I might as just write a book….hahaha. If you don’t get what I mean, well, then…….
@yellowmellow – Halika na po! Mas maganda ang byahe pag marami at masasaya ang kasama 😀 😀 😀
@Perstaymer
hahaha. AMishuuu!!
Trabaho pa more ako kaya ang dalang na lang mag comment saka wala kasing ganap sa KS na ka comment2x. 😀 ngayon lang ulit..dahil, Meng’s bday. 😀
“Ano ganap at sumasabog na naman ang blog ni Sir Vilo??”
–Waley nga ganap same same kaya waley dapat icomment!Pinigilan ko ng ilabas ang saloobin ko sa dibdan ni A kaso etong c @K kakaasar PRINOVOKE ako..hahah!Imagine dahil sa dibdib ni A na mas promising pa sa dibdib ko(hahah!) nagawa kong iispell in bold letters ang PROVOCATIVE CHEST nya!!CHARRRRR!!!!hahah!
” don’t see her actions towards Tisoy as distant or indifferent, I see it as nervousness and quite possibly, slight panic, on as to what he might say or do next. ”
–Same here.,try to stare at her eyes..andun lahat ang sagot..she may give mixed signals thru her actions (just to divert her overwhelmed emotions)but her eyes bears it all…daba?? And the reason behind M being awkward and distant lately to A makes me think na probably RFJ is courting her na…kaya nga may laglagan ng nagaganap from Wally and Jose.hihihih!
“I suggest that you just enjoy the jokes and their silly antics, as they say, laughter adds years to your life. If you start overthinking and stressing of “are they or are they not” then you’re losing about a year of your life for every minute that you stress about it…”
–Aba at nakuha mo pang magsuggest!!CHARRR!!But totally true..mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko..their crazy antics, witty conversations, their nakakahawang halakhak (I mean here the whole cast..ultimo ung mga napipili nilang winners) lahat lahat yan bumubuo ng araw ko..kaya no space for overthinking otherwise I will be missing the essence of simple joy.
Same as you..I can totally relate to M..kaya mas curious ako sa personality nya kesa kay A..napakachallenging iobserve ni M..Weirdo, Baliw at abnormal talaga!hahahha!Being showy is not really her thing..not a flaunter as you say..kahit sa JOWAPAO na special at mahalaga sa kanya hindi nya makuhang maging physically affectionate..so what more kay THE Alden “naghihimutok na dibdib” Richards!Omegadd naalala ko nanaman!!hahahha!
PS
So for that my dear @aiofthebeholder, I therefore conclude that indeed you are a smart ass!!hahahah! Bilis pavirtual hug nga!!I feel you..we are both selectively sociable.;)
@Jilai I miss you more dear!!!bukas abangers tau..what do you think about A’s surprise gift na idadagdag nya sa “UTANG NA LOOB” na photo album!!!hahahha!
I’m thinking of Beach (Balesin or Maldives getaway) or NY escapade…hihihi!!
@Perstaymer ako pa ngayon nasisi. Pati nga description mo don dinibdib mo na rin – naghihimutok (nanay ko lang gumagamit neto), tapos me provocative ka pang alam. HAHAHAHA 😜 Pero joking aside, I’ll just follow your lead. Nakakapagod ‘tong dalawang ‘to, just because we care. I also enjoy most of the humour of KS, also cries sa SB, at konting kilig na rin. I hardly watch it realtime na rin. Just yesterday, narealise ko, mas enjoy ko magbasa ng posts and comments dito kesa sa Twitter. I seem to hang out here more na than other social media. Kaya, appreciate ko talaga na Sir Vilo is allowing us to use his space. I hope A and M would discover this little but not so little space on the net. Para makita nila na there are a lot of people who passionately cares about them. And to unwind na rin pag toxic na ang ibang social media (parang yung ginagawa natin). Medyo senti ako ngayon, pagbigyan nyo na!
@K hahaha!dati kc PROVOKE lang alam ko ispell..dahil sa dibdiban ni A (Santisima Trinidad Patawarin ako!) na mas mukhang mas malutong pa sa chicharong baboy ayun nadagdagan ang bokabularyo ko!hahahah
Lagot na talaga ko ke sir Vilo neto!Joke lang po!
Panggulo lang tlga kadalasan POV ko…very very light lang!seryoso na ang buhay ko sa labas ng blog na ito…at least here I can loosen up a little.
Team Abroad and Team replay din ako..KS at JFAAFJ segments lang ang napapanuod ko..gayunpaman iba pa rin talaga ung kaligayahan at emosyon na tumatagos satin diba what more kung live o buong EB episodes ang napapanuod mo.missing the good old days where my family used to watch EB while eating lunch together!And dati pa man masasaya na silang panuorin wala pang ALDUB..c patchypie pa lang madalas nila ibully nun at hagipin ng camera..hahaha!
On a serious note..Thank you Sir Vilo for being so gracious and generous to all of us na mga baliw at abnormal. Mahirap iexpress ang gratitude ko towards sa inyo thru writing..(not really my thing) but please know that your virtual kindness is truly admirable and inspiring!Maraming salamat po! 😉
@Jilai agree, I think when she hears praises, overwhelmed and surprised lumalabas ang totoong M, the pessimistic her. Di mo maipinta yung reactions niya or expressions kasi nawawala siya sa character. I think it’s the same when she is in SB, it’s her, kaya siguro naiinterpret ng iba yung indifference nya towards A’s banat/hugot.
@k,hello po masaya ako na finally na ang puso and isip ng members natin dito opened na talaga in this KS episode,we all learn how to guard our hearts and with low expectations na,lahat halos makapag rehab natin hahaha!looking forward for tomorrow’s episode and Saturday’s celebration natin,basta go maichard parin!hehehe!
She’s always been mahiyain towards Alden eh. I noticed that whenever Alden comes to the barangay unannounced. But then after sometime, she warms up na and makikipag-kulitan na. Typical starstruck fan ung reaction nya siguro. Remember, di pa nagsi-sink in sa kanya how popular she is now and heller, sobrang gwapo kaya ni Tisoy. Pero this time, she seemed distant. Oddly distant. Di nga sya makatingin ng diretso kay Alden. She was also expecting a kiss on the cheek but Alden kissed her hand instead. If i were to overthink this scenario (and the scenarios in SB the past week), I would probably conclude that Meng is finally waking up from a dream.
Anyway, ayoko mag-dwell sa overthinking churva ko. Im happy. Both Meng and Ritsard are happy. For now, iyon ang mahalaga 🙂
i expected that eb today will be ordinary day. No fireworks, sorry for the people outside Broadway wasted effort. Even Alden’s special number is nothing spectacular. Kaya parang wala Lang kay Maine. E Dati ba Nya ginagawa mag dance so what’s new. Anyway I hope Saturday will be better. Effortless Lang ang bday celeb ni Maine, Panay divina sila walang kwenta talaga except for the part where the Lolas sang. Dali Dali pa naman Ako nag charge ng iPad ko as soon as my plane landed sa stopover ko saTaipei, para mag replay ng ganap. As expected hopia galore 100%. In fairness bts roses made up for the disappointment. Kaya Lang a lot of fans are hoping they’re going to celebrate after KS dahil this is the real bday. Soco mode sila. Hoping Hindi sila ma hopia pa more.
Yes, sana nga may mangyari. Nung nagblow ng surprise party and FCs ni Maine, production and management team ng EB and kinuntsaba nila. So hopefully, since Alden was spotted with “production and management people” according to the ig owner, baka he’s throwing a surprise party for Maine. Please…please…Hopia god, matulog ka muna!
Production and management team daw ang kasama ni Alden. Yung nagpost mismo and nagconfirm. When someone asked if it’s the production team of EB, hindi na sumagot yong ig owner. So who knows?
Ang alam ko may niluluto pa na surprise ang mga Lola with Alden,so Hindi pa natatapos ang Laban via national TV lang,meron pa talaga hinanda si Richard sa kanya,nasa KS segment sila kanina and marami ang nanunuod including their parents,sinusunod nila ang scope ng serye Alden knows how to pace himself sa mga ganyan,Hindi sila pwede mag acting as in mag nobyo sa KS kasi Hindi pa naman sinagot ni divina si Alden di ba?sa brand x lang and sa isang LT lang anytime libre ang laplapan,introvert ang babae Hindi sya showy,instead na lalo sya ilagay sa Hindi comfortable sa sitwasyon eh nandoon si alden with much respect and love to her sa hands nalang sya nag kiss saka same time kinakabahan si meng,matuto rin tayong maging OPEN MINDED minsan,KS ang pinanuod natin Hindi nila gagawin ang magiging intimate just please the viewers ,off cam syempre ibang usapan na yun.
I wonder why people still compare ALDUB to the Brand X LTs. Hindi ba pwedeng enjoyin na lang ng ADN yung ganap without comparing what Brand X is doing? In my opinion, kaya nagiging masama ang tingin ng ibang LTs sa ADN is because of these comparisons. Sana iwasan na natin yung comparison sa Brand X. We get it, EB/TAPE has a different way to promote ALDUB. At the same time, pwede mo naman iappreciate yung LT na gusto mo without talking trash about another LT. Akala ko ba good values ang prinopromote ninyo? Nakakawalang gana lang yung laging pag-compare e. Pwede namang iappreciate yung LT ng walang trash talking na ginagawa. Just my two cents.
Same here,ayoko ma mis interpret mo ako,wag natin hahaluan ng emotions dito,its still a two sides of the coin right?same time nag sasabihin ako ng totoo Hindi nawawala ang competition,pero Hindi ko forte ang trash talking wala naman tayo sa basketball eh,open ang opinion dito,parang kuwentuhan lang, @aldubyoupo mas gusto pa kita kakilala baka who knows magkakasama pa tayo sa endgame pa,kaya chillax lang,I just to keep heads up and to uplift yung spirits dito ng ka-blog ko na disappointed lang.Basta wag mo dibdibin ang mga ibang comments ko.
@javiman ,its ok mukhang mabait naman si @aldubyoupo siguro na mis interpret nya rin yung previous comment ko,basta wag lang dibdibin yun no emotions involve kuwentuhan lang,peace and good vibes lang po.Again pasensya na sa mga masaktan ko.
@Jojo
I just watched the birthday episode on facebook..hirap kasi ng Team US laging huli. Anyway, di naman ako na hopia. Ngayon lang ata ako aagree sa yo Bro. What I saw was Maine getting overwhelmed with emotions. Similar to how she was during TP ..trying to hold back the tears. With regards sa gift, when Alden handed the photobook to her Jose asked him “yan na ba ung special mo?” He answered without the mic and said something like “hinde, meron talaga. ” So for that I take my hats off to him. I still wish though that they spend a day for themselves to celebrate. Pero I am now at this point where I don’t expect them to be in a relationship. It is going to be best thing should it happen otherwise, all I want is for their careers to move forward. If only we could all sign a petition for better projects the soonest possible time (parang gaya ng ginawa kay Cory noon to run for President). Baka gusto mo unpisahan. Lol.
Agree Javiman. Kesa unahin nating hilingin na magkatuluyan ang dalawa eh ams maganda kung career muna. Good projects naman sana. Ni walang hint ng movie or teleserye
@concerned citizen
sana nga makinig sila sa tin..has it been too long or naiinip lang talaga tayo? Like you I want M to do workshops, voice lessons (that girl loves to sing) and not just endorsements. Yes they pay well right now but once the popularity and following is gone..so are they. We just want them to have their stars shine bright for a long time.
Korek! Masyadong beatsmode ang mga fans sa real-status ng dalwa, ni hindi ata nila narerealize na walang malinaw na patutunguhan yung career ng dalwa. I would say it again, hindi big deal sakin kung maging real ang dalwang to. Mas masasaktan ako kapag nawala na lang sila na parang bula dahil hindi nahandle nang maayos ang career nila.
@javiman
Can you start the petition? I think that A and M’s careers are going nowhere especially M’s. Stucked sila in KS. Her career is being mismanaged by Triple A while A’s handlers are keeping A’s schedule tight. There’s the announcement of a movie together but it seems there’s nothing in sight.
I hope that they will given worthy and quality projects. TVCs are not enough to showcase their talents. It’s a pity to let these talents go to waste.
@peachesandkings
If only it’s that easy..I don’t think it’s impossible but this should be led by people more credible than I am. Grabe..ganito na tayo ka desperado to voice our concerns for A & M.
Ganito yan eh. Since mahilig namang sa trending ang mga big accounts, bakit hindi nila ipatrend ang #ALDUBonPrimetime or #MaiDenOnPrimeTime. Pag yun nagtrend WW eh tapik na yun sa management
@concerned citizen
Why don’t we start our own FC, create a twitter acct. and start with this campaign. I nominate you to be the president. Lol. Kidding aside, that’s a good idea. Hope one of those fandoms on twitter reads your comment and do it.
Eto tayo isip ng isip para mapaayos ung dalawa pero the people who manage them walang pakialam sa fans. Sayang if after TP inayos nila. Kung pera rin lang naman ang habol it would have been a captured market. Kaya nga napuno ang arena di ba? San ba talaga pumalpak?
Saan pumalpak? Hmmm. Maraming factors. Una, hindi na nasustain ang story ng KS. Normal naman yun kaya nga lahat ng teleserye eh may katapusan. Yun nga lang, EB insisted na magstay ang KS kaya ayun nagsuffer ang KS pati Aldub. Then pangalawa, nahulog si Maine kay Alden which gave tension to everyone. Remember yung interview ni bobby at Angelu? They decided to be friends lang talaga from the start para masustain ang LT nila. May mali rin naman si Alden at EB dabarkads dahil pinaghalo nila ang reel sa real.
Another thing na maganda sa mga ganap kahapon at ngayon (Boracay), matatahimik na (ng konti) ang utak at puso ng ADN dahil klarong klaro nang may something sa dalawa. So kung sila na o hindi, wala na pakialam. Madadivert na ang attention ng mga tao sa KS plot, sa story, sa upcoming projects at iba pa.
Their management should expect comments and clamor about career plans and projects for MaiChard. Yun na ang titingnan ng mga tao ngayon. Ng karamihan.
And no, I don’t think nagmamadali tayo. Kahit news ng plans for Aldub wala eh. parang stuck sila sa KS. And for a phenomenal Loveteam, ang pangit ng paghandle sa kanila.
Again sasabihin ko ang ALDUB eh Hindi katulad ng mga cheapy cheapy love teams dyan,phenomenal sila, most legion of their fans are classy,yayamanin,team abroad and mga well known na personalities ang KS noontime yun,yung mga ibang scenes na medyo below the belt na sa mga minor age eh sa prime time yan,gusto nyo pa yata paluin kayo ni Lola nidora eh.
I don’t know if you are being sarcastic or not or may maicompare lang. I’ve read in this blog that Maine and Alden are humble, pero it seems like not all fans are as humble as they are.
Hahaha. I hope nagbibiro lang si kuya Jojo. Marami sa mga yayamanin kong friends na AlDub fans dati ay tumiwalag na. Hindi nakayanan ang MBL at ang pangkasalukuyang KS. Bumibili pa rin sila ng AlDub endorsed products pero nabawasan na ng pagka faney. I think this is the reason why the broadsheets stopped with the AlDub articles. The audience is not clamoring for it anymore. It used to be cool even among some yayamanin circles to know about AlDub. Not anymore. Mga jologs na lang sa circle of friends ko ang sumusubaybay. I guess this also explains why the ratings dove below 20. Nawala na ang curiosity factor. I hope the tvcs still come for A and M. Mukhang walang plano ang management na pakawalan sila sa KS. Speaking of, I watched it today after so long just because it is M bday. Even with low expectations, it is still disappointing. It was very awkward. What happened? Unlike before though, I don’t overthink anymore. It is what is. Just come up with a TS or movie na. Wag nang patagalin habang may fans pa.
@Funny Girl,kmusta na?yung previous comment ko i-uplift ko lang yung spirit ng iba members dito disappointed na naman kasi sila hehehe!(hopia mode parin)basta low expectations lang and learn how to guard our hearts,enjoy the show lang ika nga,wag masyado dibdibin,chillax lang.
Kuya jojo. Nakikikuya na ako. Hahaha. You are very mature sa pananaw at level headed so I aassume ko na lang na mas nakakatanda sa akin. Ok naman po ako. Hindi ako nahopia kasi naubos ko na ang supply ko bago pa mag VDay. Wish ko lang either gumawa na sila ng TS or gumanda ang Ks. Whichever comes first. Hindi na ako manghihimasok sa kalagayan nila in real life. Mas gusto ko hindi ko alam plus privacy and all that. Keep keeping our spirits up.
Nope I’m not sarcastic,wala rin naman akong bitterness sa puso ko,pasensya na ayoko rin ma misinterpret ako,basta batuhan ng opinion lang dito pero Hindi included ang emotion ha @highandmighty gusto pa kitang kakilala pa ako,maka blog din in a long run, I’m sure kapag kakilala mo ako makakasundo din tayo,kuro kuro lang dito,wag mo dibdibin ang mga comments ko,kasi parang kuwentuhan lang dito,who knows baka magkakampi pa tayo sa endgame,kaya chillax lang.
Sorry to say walang ganap after KS dahil sa SC ni Maine kasama Nya yung two friendsNya sa kalyeserye knna and changed outfit na ang bb girl. Hopia pa more ayaaaawan na LOL. How many times did I say that ayaw ko na…..😰 Stop 🖐 na ang addiction na Ito acting an Lang Ito. Ano ba kalerki talaga
Huh? Oh no, didnt hear that. Wait lang (*nagkakandarapang pumanik sa taas to get my charger, my IPad and earphones) …. hahaha… wait @malthus… check ko yan. Saang part po yan?
Yung bouquet of roses inabot ni Richard Kay Maine yun offcam,di nyo ba napansin nahihiya si Maine tumingin ng diretso Kay Alden?yung kinakausap nya si Alden pero di makatingin?yung eyes nya yung nangungusap kasi Hindi sya pa showbiz,after nang I reveal ni Richard yung feelings nya Kay Maine eh syempre may ilangan na yun mag pakita ng sweetness in public. Alam ko sila Wally and Jose alam nila ang ganap sa dalawa Hindi pa tapos di ba?may surprises pa after saturday, relax lang!
Hindi na bago sa akin yung shyness ni Maine and yung awkward gestures nya kanina kasi yun din na experience nya nung birthday celebration ni Richard nun.
Jusko @malthus… thanks for the heads-up. Heard it loud and clear. Inulit-ulit ko pa kc baka mali ang pagkakarinig ko 🙂 Oo nga!!! She said ” kc nakadikit lang sa wall ko ung mga pictures natin”. Eh bakit naman ididikit sa wall nya ung MGA pictures NILANG DALAWA?? Just when i thought im gonna give up on this obsession… hay, my MaiChard heart..ang lakas ng tibok! 🙂 kalmahin ang sarili, yellowmellow. Kaya mo yan. Replay mo ulit ung episode today.
I cant post this observation in social media. But might as well post it here. Baka sakali someone out there has the same sentiments as myself. To start off, why all the fuss over Maine’s 21st birthday anyway? I know she did bring joy to a lot of us but she did get paid millions doing it. Right? 🙂 I kept replaying the episode today and i cannot see any instance na bumulong si Maine kay Jose (re: Nanay’s hatid to Laguna). I dont think she said it at all. Secondly, she knew there were a lot of people in Broadway today who were chanting her name but she only acknowledged them nung sinabihan lang sya ni Paulo. She had everything that we, normal human beings, can only dream of. The least she could have done is give the Lola of Sugod Bahay a month’s supply of Rejoice. Lol. We are in over our heads lately. This phenomenon has gone overboard, I think. The amount of bashing the other half of AlDub has been insane. But for me, he is the better man. He knows how to give back. With the amount of money pouring in (I heard at least $5M per TVC) plus the power and influence she has…. I hope Maine can use it to better someone else’s life.
May instance na nag-abot din last week 5k dun sb yung nagtitinda ng pancake. Yung kanina sure may inabot din kaya sabi ni jose nahiya ka pa magsabi. Maawain din siyang tao sa tingin ko.
@cupcakeandfries… My mantra has always been to be a silent lurker of this blog but there are times when i come out from just lurking and give my two cents when i see comments which seems to get my ire…
My two cents on your pov:
a. why all the fuss on M’s 21st bday… – well if you’ve forgotten or you choose to ignore the fact that Maine Mendoza is half of the PHEN-O-ME-NAL ALDUB which have hundreds or thousands of fans, it is then justified that every aldub fan is excited to celebrate her birthday. Is it that much of a bother to you that fans and even Alden Is going gaga over her bday?!??!?
b. She got paid millions for it– Yes she got paid alright but she did not just sit on a couch ang got paid millions…She’s working her ass out going to the barangays and braving the crowd daily almost 5days a week for the past 8 months while other stars shoot in the comfort of beautiful and airconditoned locations. She even shoots tvc’s after KS until the wee hours of the morning and still show up at the barangay locations with the same energy and interest in doing her spiels.
c. Nanay’s hatid to Laguna— I watched that episode too and i can say that the camera was not focused on Maine & Jose the whole time, isn’t it possible that they had the conversation while they were not focused or maine could have discreetly said it to jose. Jose is not known to praise or sugarcoat his statements during sugod bahay, he is more known in making “bara” or “basag” ( albeit just for fun) his costars so i don’t think he would say that if it is not true specially such a sweet gesture like that. Why DOUBT that Maine has a good heart to offer such hatid to laguna.. Tsk tsk….
d. About acknowledging the people in broadway— If you have been watching the sugod bahay segment behind the scenes videos, you will see that the people in the brgy are too loud with them shrieking and calling out jowapao & meng, and there are instances when their inhear is not working thay they can’t seem to hear the panel in the broadway and the fans. There are even instances that Maine fails to acnowledge Alden’s statement & you will see here asking “ano sabi”. Besides, does failing to acknowledge the fans make Maine less of a person????? Just asking….
e. Alden being bashed more— I agree with @nine that the major issues which led to the bashing of alden was missteps by his management and his aldenatics fans club. The vday fiasco, the scripted poem claim by an aldenatic, the absence in the bosleng reception, etc etc.. , and through all these Maine even had the guts to defend him during the bosleng issue thus earning the ire of bashers herself. It is not only A who is incessantly being bashed, M has her share of cruel bashing too, mainly by the one sided fans of A known as the Bnation and nowadays by ex Maine fans who felt betrayed bec they felt M chose to stick with Alden and their loveteam.
f. Alden is a better man/ Maine should use her money/influence to better someone else’s life —Yes Alden is a good man, but that doesn’t mean Maine is not at par with Alden on being a better person. Alden’s charity works are highlighted by his management like his recent aeta encounter. Maine doesn’t have a management to do that for her but that doesn’t mean she’s not sharing her earnings to the needy or doing charitable acts on her own. We may not know how she do it but a few of her acts of helping/ charity have been shared in social media by those who witnessed them first hand behind the cameras. Being a good person is not measured by the amount of money you throw out to people, just being an inspiration to fans and giving them the reason to hope and be happy is much more important than material things, and that I believe is what Alden and Maine have given to the fans who adore them.
Again, people have the free will and the right to choose whether to support or ignore ALDUB, if you think you have had enough of this so called phenomenon, then by all means, turn your back and step away from it, maybe you have better things to do than wasting your time fangirling on ALDUB, but for us who love A&M not becoz they are a phenomenon but becoz they are two beautiful souls who touched our hearts & changed our lives, we choose to stand by with them and enjoy this roller coaster ride of emotions and hope we will witness a destiny filled happy ending for them…😇😘👋
By the way, most of the people here love both A&M, we may criticize one or the other sometimes but that doesn’t mean we hate on one and love the the other like many one side fans do….by reading your comment i could surmise & bravely say without batting an eyelash that you prefer one over the other.. I don’t have to pinpoint who, it is soooo obvious!????!!!! 😓🙊
P.S. Again, sorry guys, and to sir vilo… I just had to do this… I have always been a fan of both, and i can’t help myself to defend them everytime A&M’s integrity as a person is questioned and doubts are cast on their being…😇😏😓
Maine’s charities are not meant for press release. Mostly, she gives without much fuss. Hindi sya nagtatawag ng press pag nag-aabot sya sa tao. She has at least given cash out of her out pocket to sugod bahay winners. It wasn’t announced. Nahahagip lang ng onsite fans and onlookers. Plus, her family who is well known among the circles of Shell Dealers, are known to give a lot to charity, but since Maine became a high-earning celebrity who started giving too, they became even more discreet and shunned publicizing their charities lest they be accused of politicking given that her parents work with both the private and government sectors.
How does she use her celebrity? She is a positive force to those who think they have to mold themselves into something that they’re not in order to succeed. Yes, she is a proponent of self-awareness and being true to oneself. You may say that any celebrity can promote this mantra, but you have to admit that Maine is one of very few, if not, the most effective and believable representative of it. Even Alden Richards acknowledges this given that Alden spent 5 years acting serious in interviews and social calls, hiding his true self, because that’s how serious actors are molded in network machines. When he met Maine, he admitted that he loosened up and became more comfortable in being himself in public. He even reiterated what Maine said in Meg magazine that one has to be “true to yourself because doon ka mamahalin ng tao.” This kind of influence has a greater impact to the new generation than giving money (which she and her family do to charity).
P.S. Kung na-babash man si Alden, it’s mostly because of missteps by his own team. Apparently, his management team is not in touch of his new found success. They have not bothered to check the psychology behind the new fandom which Alden and Maine have tapped. They have become so used to the organized fanclubs that GMA usually sets up (which Alden himself calls “planted”) for new discoveries, that they think they can dictate to it. ADN is not an organized fanclub you can dictate to. It’s a voluntary and spontaneous gathering of people who like the same thing…Aldub. On it’s own volition, it created a community out of people from all walks of life, breaking demographics in terms of age, gender, persuasion, educational level, income bracket, and profession, who have different perspectives, varying expectations and fantasies, but come together for a common love for Aldub.
Tape, which handles Maine, is in touch with this kind of phenomenon because they have been doing Eat Bulaga for 36 years. They have seen one phenomenon after another. So they know how to deal with this kind of fandom. That’s why they don’t expose Maine too much, because over-exposure is what’s causing Alden to be bashed constantly. What Alden’s team and GMAAC need to do is to work in harmony with Tape, given that Tape undeniably brought Alden to his current career status. They should stop fighting this notion. Even Alden admitted several times in several candid speeches during weeksaries that he has been in the industry for a while and that those years before Aldub were full of challenges. Until one day, Eat Bulaga invited him to join the show where he was paired with Maine and then suddenly, there was Aldub.
The problem is that GMAAC handles other talents apart from Alden. And they want these talents to benefit from Alden’s success.
Someone on twitter pointed this out and it’s quite glaring. They said that the last two major incidents where Alden was severely bashed online came courtesy of two artists under the same Senior Handler of GMAAC. Did you guys know that Julie Ann San Jose and Louise De Los Reyes SHARE the same Senior Handler from GMAAC? This Senior Handler is the woman who had a picture with both Alden and Maine during the recent contract signing of Eat Bulaga with GMA, but decided to acknowledge only Alden in the picture and ignore Maine completely. Kaya nga sabi ng marami sa ADN, ang sisira kay Alden ay mismong ka-team din nya sa GMAAC. No wonder Alden keeps telling Maine, “Kapit lang tayo. Huwag tayong bibitaw.” It’s probably because Alden feels that right now, si Maine lang talaga ang kakampi nya.
Hi Nine,
I so agree with you, now I think I can justify what I noticed on Maine she was indifferent to Alden lately, may tampo yan for sure and I hope Alden would act right away to resolve whatsoever gap they may be having right now. Mabait na bata din si Alden andI so love both of them dearly, I’m still positive everything will all right on both of them, dami kaya nating nagdadasal para sa dalawang ito.
Ang galing nito @Nine 🙂 pedeng isabak sa broadsheet. Have you thought of creating your own blogsite too? Or do you have one na? Share mo naman sa amin. Would love to read about your thoughts hindi lang sa ka-AlDubhan churva natin but on life in general. Looking forward to reading your blogs soon dear. By the way, repeating Maine’s mantra na “be true to yourself”.. i changed my username to write the comment you responded to above. Im yellowmellow. Scared kc ako i might be bashed dahil sa aking bipolar tendencies. I had my share of it in the past dahil sa pagka-tactlesd ko e. But good thing most of us here are level-headed and quick to forgive. Sana. *wink! I kinda think we’re all in this for the long haul. I’ve been to both ends of this AlDub sensation – incredibly funnywalin to the point of “hiring” my cousin who lives near StaMaria to go to Starbucks at 2am at the peak of the twitterseryes of insiders. But then i bashed (yes i admit it but not proud that i did that) Alden when he was a no-show on Vday. I even cried a little kc i thought he was really going out with Louise. Suddenly Baymax doesnt look cute anymore. Parang gusto kong putukin ang mga balloons sa kotse ni Alden. Hahaha. And then, a moment ago, i took it against Maine kc she seemed indifferent towards Alden the past week. So you see @Nine, if a psychologist were to venture here in Sir Vilo’s blog, he might just find patients who can fill a whole ward. Hehe. But through all the ups and downs, i think…hmmm… recently ko lang na-admit ito…but i guess, i really do love both of them na. The kind of love that grows on you, not forced. Funny because they dont know me e. Im just of their millions of admirers all over the world. Just a dot in a crowd. I just hope that one day i can also pursue my lifelong dream and blog about “Way to go, Yellowmellow” and dance Rihanna’s Salute even. I guess my personal takeaway from this fandom is that both Alden and Maine proved beyond a shadow of doubt that with God, ALL things are possible. They fulfilled their lifelong dreams, gained a fiercely loyal following – fanmily, amassed a fortune and most importantly, found true love in the most extraordinary way. If that can happen to them, it can happen to us too 🙂 We are all created equally by the same awesome God naman di ba? 🙂 So my heart is breaming with hope. Thank you RJ and Meng 🙂
@yellowmellow…haha! I think all of us will qualify as mental patients here. LOL In fact, if a psychologist visits this site, he/she will need to build a hospital to accommodate all of us. LOL
As for the pretend-insiders in twitter and IG, I have always thought that they all come from GMAAC. They’re trying to push to the public a pseudo real-life love story between Alden and Maine in order to extract the full benefit from the loveteam without having to manage a real-life relationship between the two. For them, as long as the fans THINK that there’s something going on in real-life, there’s no need for Alden to EVER pursue Maine for real. This will make it easy for them to extricate Alden from the Aldub loveteam when he’s popular enough to be on his own and use him to promote other GMAAC stars. The thing is, they may be able to control Alden, but they cannot control Maine.
Maine can read what’s happening around her very accurately. I think Maine found out that while she was in Japan, there were rumors spreading that supposedly, Alden made a short trip to follow her in Japan. And then when she arrived back in Manila, there were again rumors that she was at the parking lot of MOA during New Year’s Eve and that she and Alden celebrated New Year together. Kesyo may nakakita daw sa parking lot…kesyo yung “sitting by the window watching fireworks” that she tweeted about is in reference to her car window…kesyo kesyo…blah blah blah. And worst, there was a blind item on Fashion Pulis that closely describes Aldub which says that the two are having a lot of PDA behind the scenes like a real-life couple. And that’s why as soon as possible, Maine dispelled all these rumors by doing an interview with Ricky Lo to state categorically, loud and clear, that: 1) she and Alden are ONLY friends; 2) Alden didn’t go to Japan. 3) They’re not yet at any level of courtship. It was also in that interview that she stated that only KS Alden is in courtship with Divina.
Maine is protecting herself. These rumors are meant to extract the full benefit of having Alden and Maine in a real-life relationship without Alden actually courting and being in a real-life romantic relationship with Maine. If Maine allowed this, she would be in the losing end of the stick. When public perception becomes the truth, it means that she can no longer entertain other suitors, and if she so much as befriends a guy, she will be bashed and will be branded as a cheater, when in fact, hindi naman nya boyfriend si Alden at hindi naman ito nanliligaw sa kanya.
Who do you think fed these rumors in FB, twitter and IG? For me, I think it’s GMAAC. You see, if GMAAC had their way, they wouldn’t want Alden to EVER court Maine. EVER. But, they want the full business benefit of having the public think that the two are an item without it ever being official, making it easy to pull out Alden anytime. Alden is GMAAC’s biggest star right now, and they want their other artists to benefit from Alden’s success, namely Julie Ann San Jose and Louise de Los Reyes. It is of my opinion (and I take full responsibility for this) that they’ve been testing if they could break-up Aldub and eventually separate Alden from Maine so he could be paired with other GMAAC stars. Last December, just one week before Maine was set to visit Sunday Pinasaya, they connived with the director of the show, who favors Julie Ann San Jose a lot, to say that Alden and Julie are in a real-life romantic relationship. What happened next gave them their answer. The director took a beating on his social media that he had to go private. Julie Ann San Jose was bashed for not dispelling the rumors. (Why would she? She’s under direct orders to go along.) Alden was attacked online for the first time since Aldub started. There was digital bloodbath in twitter, IG, and FB that Alden’s team had no choice but to retreat. Eventually, Alden had to issue a statement on twitter saying it’s “not true”.
But GMAAC just wouldn’t give up. They tried to do it again on VDay, this time pairing Alden with Louise De Los Reyes, his old LT. They were probably banking on the followers of his old LT to back them up. Alden’s entire team went full force on this plan including his Aldenatics. What happened next was even worse for Alden. He had 200,000 unfollows in his IG account. His IG post last Feb 13 has over 20,000 comments and my estimate is that 70-80%% are call-outs to him for being “fake” and “insincere”. Alden’s team had no choice but to woo back Aldubnation. These past two weeks, they’ve been working hard to show that Aldenatics supports and loves Maine. His management team have been showing the love too. Alden’s team agreed for the first time for Alden and Maine to be in the same prep room for the TNT event. They also approved an Aldub appearance for Unilab where Alden is an endorser and Maine is not.
Why did Alden’s team want to separate Alden from Maine in the first place? And why so early in the game? Aldub is only 7 months old and still full of potential? My opinion is that apart from the urgent need for Alden to help other stars in GMAAC now, they also don’t want to lose Alden to Tape. Remember that Alden has already signed 5-year film contract with APT, Tape’s film company. And then in one interview, when Alden was asked if he’s going to move to another agency…his answer was, “Hindi pa.” That probably sent chills to GMAAC, because Alden’s answer indicates that there’s a possibility that he will leave. The thing with Alden is that the closer his friendship is to Maine, the happier he becomes. GMAAC fears that the happier he is, the more likely that when his contract expires, he might opt to sign with Tape. Not only will signing with Tape give Alden more control over his time and schedule, it will also make it easier to iron out projects with Maine. Eh pano na si Julia Ann San Jose? Pano na si Louise De Los Reyes?
If I were GMAAC, I will make it my business to ensure that Alden is always happy. Happiness is a CHOICE. If they keep putting Alden in miserable situations, he will not make the choice to stay with them where he is miserable. He will choose happiness. And we already know who makes him happy — Maine.
@Nine,kaya po Hindi ako nag duda sa feelings ni Richard para Kay Maine,saka ano bang pakialam nila kung may feelings sila sa isat Isa?basta gawin lang ng tama ng mga bosses nila ang respective career ng dalawa, trabaho nila kaya sila pinapasuweldo ng network,basta loud and clear from reel to real na sila,gusto ko pa umabot pa ng 12round ang ALDUB vs bashers/one sided fans ,gusto ko may ma knock out talaga.
@Nine thank you for enlightening us with some of the issues regarding the management. Although, it is already transparent that there is something wrong, mainly evident from the VDay fiasco and the stagnancy of their careers at present, one would think that a management as big as them knows what to do. I agree that ADN is a huge market, but I believe that there is only one or two major reasons as to why we are all hooked with Aldub/Maiden. This should have been enough to help them strategically outline A’s and M’s career path. To be really honest, I couldn’t care less about other artists. It is time that they focus on whose giving them the money. Anyway, M’s midas touch has a rippling effect. She just need to work with these people for them to get the recognition or even the success they aspire. (Sorry I only care fo these two bibis).
Above all, if what you said is indeed true, I feel for A more. He has to stop being the good guy and start growing some. But at the same time, unfair on M, as she doesn’t need such burden when she’s only new in the business. I guess ‘kebs lang’ sya. Only cemented the fact that she really cares for A.
I hope you see how insane the bashing M gets as well sometimes from A’s fans .. I even read one tweet wishng she dies ..that from an A fan.If M has the MS bashing A.A has the BN bashing M.ADN is caught in the middle defending both.It is insane.I do not understand the hate.They are both good human beings.
Anyway, everyone defended Maine already and I couldn’t blame the commenters for doing so. I will not defend her na kesho may binibigyan siyang pera or whatever because I only know too little about the girl but I still love her.
So, let me answer your question about people making a fuss out of Maine’s 21st birthday. Why, you ask? we are all here because of her. That simple. Bakit ang daming eklavu tungkol sa birthday niya? Because we are all freaking Aldub fans and Maine is part of this nation. Her smile kinda started all this and she deserved a celebration.
I think that it is unfair to make this seem like a competition or to even point out kung ano yung dapat niyang gawin sa sarili niyang pera. She worked hard to have what she has now. Giving back and helping others is not a competition. Whatever Maine does shouldn’t be used as a standard to measure RFJ’s sincerity or character and the same goes with Maine too. Hindi ibig sabihin na marunong mag give back si RFJ, eh dapat ganun na rin yung isa and if Maine refuse to do that…biglang tataas na ang kilay natin. It’s their money naman, so bahala silang gawin kung anong gusto nilang gawin dun. 🙂 Hindi ibig sabihin na hindi napakita sa TV ay hindi nangyari.
@javiman ,kmusta na po,ako buti nalang naka leave pa dito sa US camp din kasi ako,flight coordinator,ako rin medyo nasasayangan sa dalawa eh parang na stuck nalang sila sa KS lalo na si Richard ang galing ng bata may future talaga maging superstar and also Maine may upside talaga.
@Jojo
You’ve got full hands with your job I bet. So are you connected with the military? Ako simpleng tao lang dito sa midwest. Anyway, we are really blessed that Sir Vilo let us use his blog to vent and exchange ideas. If not I wouldn’t know what to do. I have no friends here to speak about Aldub and my wife just gave up watching. Good that you are on leave now. Hope it’s not snowing where you’re at.
@Concerned Citizen,mukhang agree narin ako na kailangan bigyan sila ng project together,ok din naman na may KS segment parin sila at the same time may mga ibang events pa dapat sila,movies,mini shows and maybe concerts sana.
QUESTION PO: Does anyone know if TAPE and GMAAC are the only management companies that are allowed to work with within the GMA Network? Team abroad po ako so I’m not familiar with how the showbiz industry is ran in the Philippines. I agree with some comments that the management companies that are handling the chickidees seems to be all out of sorts in how to handle these 2. They are used to taking care of the run of the mill LTs and artists, old school kung baga. Kaya feeling ko, they are at a lost on how to handle them. That’s why it seems as if nothing is happening in getting them to move forward to doing other projects. I mean if anything like AlDub happened in the USA, these 2 would be offered movies left and right and would be all over the place by now. But then again, I suppose respective contracts with EB has them in restrictive positions. I would really love to know what their contracts with EB states as it would certainly shed a flood light as to why they’re both at a stand still.
First, “Triple A” is the talent agency division of TAPE. Ganito po yan. Most of the artists are under the so-called “TALENT AGENCY”: Luminary (Dennis, Tom, Rafael), PPL (Dingdong, Sunshine, Gabby Eigenman), ELV (Carla, Iya, Billy, Camille), Triple A (Marian, Andrea Torres, Dabarkads), Viva (Sarah, Anne, Rachelle Ann, Jadine), BAE (Jennylyn, Ella Cruz) etc etc. Some are handled by just a manager (like Lolit Solis) and not an established agency. Now, these talents signed into a TV network thru their talent agency. They then became a contract star. It’s the same concept ng mga job agency na papasok ka sa kumpanya pero hindi ka regular employee kundi contractual lang dahil yung agency mo mismo ang employer mo. 🙂
Now, sa ABS-CBN, it has its own division of talent management – the STAR MAGIC. Halos lahat actually ng stars ng dos ay hawak ng Star Magic. I can say they are good in handling talents talaga. Ang GMA naman, merong GMA Artist Center. Halos puro mga bata lang ang hawak nila at sad to say wala pa silang napoproduce na big star ng network. Alden is the first one. Si julie ann pwede rin in terms of music career.
When you are a contract artist of a network handled by external agency, your responsibility to the network (and vice versa) are solely based sa contract na pinirmahan nyo. If the contract says na may dalwa kang telserye within 2 years, then it must happen. Ang pwede lang ipagawa ng network sa talent ay kung anu lang ang nakasaad sa contract which is mga TV shows and its accompanying duties like promotions and tours. Pwede rin silang magguest sa ibang shows given the approval of the talent agency. Yung paggawa ng Album at concert, may hiwalay na contract po yun – RECORDING CONTRACT. May separate contract din para sa movies – MOVIE CONTRACT. Kaya possible na contract star ka ng GMA pero ang recording contract mo ay sa Universal Records at ang movie contract mo ay sa Viva Films. Yung mga gig sa labas, raket, provincial shows at concerts and of course endorsements ay hindi na sakop ng network. Yung agency na nila ang may hawak nun.
Sa case ng Star Magic at GMAAC, the network has full control sa talents nila because they are “homegrown”. One advantage is that palagi silang priorities over external talents. One disadvantage is hindi masyadong nakakapagdemand ang artists. At hindi rin sila nakakapagrequest ng talent fee increase basta basta. Sa external agency, the management do the negotiation of talent fee sa network. But how would the homegrown do that if their management is the network itself?
Now sa case ng ALDUB, GMA has control over Alden but none to Maine because Maine is a talent of Triple A but has no contract with GMA. Hindi sya makakagawa ang teleserye sa GMA hanggat hindi sya contract star. Pwede pa lang syang lumabas sa shows na produced mismo ng TAPE like princess in the palace. Alden, however, has exclusive contract with APT (Films). Meaning TAPE can give him movies anytime. So sa ngayon, the most possible project sa AlDub talaga is a movie.
Going to your question “Are they mishandling ALDUB”. My opinion is yes. In case of Maine, TAPE is afraid na pakawalan sya sa EB. So until now wala tayong nakikitang paglalagyan nya. Tama naman na wag syang masyadong iexpose pero hindi rin naman tama na hanggang KS na lang sya especially ngayon na dragging na ang story ng KS. So what happened is hindi magawan ng teleserye hanggang ngayon ng GMA si Alden kasi si Maine lang naman ang pwedeng itambal sa kanya sa ngayon. Yun ang hindi alam ng mga fans. Yung teleserye nya last year ay nacancel na for the sake of Aldub. Ngayon, may pinaplano na ulit na drama para sa kanya pero di pa malinaw kung kailan pwede si maine. Kapag naman pinares sya sa iba eh suicidal yun. Magagalit ang lahat sa GMA at kay Alden. So sa ngayon, binabaling na lang ng network yung career ni Alden sa recording at mga rakets. Yun nga lang, dahil dun, malaki ang chance na maover-expose si Alden. At isa pa, nakakabwisit pumili ng raket ang management nya. Ang pinipili dapat ng management para sa kanya eh yung mga lucrative, substantial at yung magpapataas ng “market value” nya as an artist. Hindi sya dapat pinapapunta sa mga ribbon cutting lang, mga fiesta sa batangas, pinagguguest sa concert kasama ang mga da who. Obviously, hindi sila magaling talagang humawak ng talent. No wonder si Alden lang ang 1st big star ng GMAAC at accidental pa ah, thru EB and AlDub.
Btw, meron din namang tinatawag na program contract. Meaning yung artist eh may contract lang for a particular project like teleserye. Ganyan ang setup ni Maricel, Gabby Concepcion, Luis Alandy, etc. So kung afraid ang TAPE na maoverexpose ng GMA si Maine eh di mag-ask muna sila ng program contract lang.
So if I got it right, NDCM is under TAPE and is a contractual employee of GMA by virtue of a contract between said parties. This contract is just for one show-Eat Bulaga. For her to be in a teleserye w/ RFJ, either a new contract needs to be drawned up or her current contract amended to add a TV show. So until that happens, NDCM is limited to Eat Bulaga only.
None of this is a problem for RFJ because he is already an employee GMA.
Maybe this is the ‘restrictions’ that everybody is talking about.
“Going to your question “Are they mishandling ALDUB”. My opinion is yes.”
I agree! To the highest level.
It’s really obvious na they’re mishandling this PHENOMENAL LOVE TEAM. Seriously, KS is dragging and instead of producing a new segment or serye where both can shine..walang nababalita because..management conflict.
Sino ang apektado?
1. Si Alden. Come to think of it, hindi siya pwedeng ipares sa ibang leading lady kahit pa may magandang project na pwede sa kanya because suicide yun dahil magwiwelga ang buong ADN. So wa choice..stick muna siya sa KS.
2. Si Maine. KS’ plot is not interesting anymore. She needs to grow. Yes, KS is ok and funny sometimes but it’s super mega obvious na super dragging na ang story. Ni wala ngang matinong story yan.
The result? Alden is receving the flak pero wala siyang magawa but stick sa KS. Sa KS na isa lamang siyang side dish. Hindi siya ang bida..his character is the most mediocre character in the history of teleseryes. :3 nakakaloka.
It’s been what? 7 to 8 months tapos ang daming fans na biglang bumitaw why? because the story is not interesting anymore and kahit NEWS sa mga nakaline up na projects for them..wala.
They need to settle whatever conflict there is. Kasi sayang ang mga araw. Okay lang sana kung steady ang epekto ng KS at mga ganap kaso hindi..negative. Masyadong negative ang epekto sa isa while the other half is being taken care of by TAPE. Grabe yung imbalance.
Good explanation @concernedcitizen and thanks for clarifying. I`d also like to mention again that there could be contract restrictions between the Aldub as a LT and advertisers as mentioned in the Bloomberg marketing feature. I remember them saying that the TVCs should be created within the context of Aldub otherwise they will not agree RJ & M to appear in commercials. Thinking logically it you were to pull out Aldub from where they are now eh, paano na ang commercials nila? That could be the reason why even if we turn blue from wanting to end KS – it`s not going to happen soon. Otherwise it will be like pulling a respirator`s plug from a patient, di ba?
BTW, nice to see sensible comments crawling back here…no longer watching KS after Feb. 15 but I once in a while peek for entertainment.
@concernedcitizen Thank you for the explanation and the breakdown. So, I guess, with anything business it all boils down to “politics”. From my POV, both managements are so taken aback with MaiChard’s popularity that they still have no clue on what to do with them. You can tell me that it’s contract this and/or it’s because of the contract that he/she has and/or that it’s complicated BUT every contract has a loophole and can be worked around or is breakable all together. Both managements must realize by now the many options that are practically being handed to RJ and M in a silver platter and yet everything seems to be at a stand still from what we can all see. It’s coming up to 8 months since the birth of this phenomenal couple, they should have moved on beyond KS and TVCs months ago.
@K – it’s been really bothering me as to why their managements cannot move them beyond KS. I don’t want them to get rid of KS as I find the whole JoWaPaoMengDen tandem hilarious at times and they are my stress reliever but they should be doing something else outside of it than just TVCs and RJ’s mall shows. I know how good an actor RJ is and Meng has come a long way from just being Yaya Dub that it’s a little frustrating not have them use those talents in a bigger project 😦
@Perstaymer – Kung pwede lang nga na magtayo nang talent agency pero only these 2 for clients ;D Sayang, one of my Tita’s worked for the William Morris Agency and I know that she would have been itching to get her hands on the chickidees, unfortunately she died a couple of years ago. But I really do hope and pray that both managements would act soon and move these 2 forward.
As for all that happened over the weekend: OMG!!! Can someone please find me a Richard Reyes Faulkerson, Jr.?!?!?!?!? I don’t care if he’s super makulit minsan, or that he has a tendency to bully Mama Ten and his friends or that he can get very OC. I don’t care as long as he looks at me with the same love and care that he looks at Meng. I don’t care about all of his minor flaws as long as he can tell the world (like he did on Saturday) that he would do everything within his power to make all my wishes, his wishes, OUR wishes come true. I don’t care as long as he can say, without any qualms, na kaya nya akong panindigan sa harap nang parents ko and it was only a small simple kiss! And please don’t get me started on the Boracay surprise. That was way beyond expectations. I can only imagine how long it took him to set everything up and to have it executed so perfectly. I admit that I want someone in their group to come out with the video of how RJ surprised Meng of his presence in Bora. Solve na ako dun, I don’t need to see any other pictures, just that and over the moon with happiness na ako.
I’m really miffed with EB and the Lolas yesterday for bringing up Bora yet constantly naming Divina instead Maine. It’s not Divina that’s in Bora, it’s Maine. It’s not Divina that RJ surprised, it was Maine. KSA did not hire the private plane to surprise Divina, it was RJ who hired the plane to surprise Maine. Thank goodness RJ emphasized Maine’s name the whole time otherwise there would be a big hole in the middle of my TV right now. It’s these things that makes fans go ape on EB. I don’t doubt the creativeness or intelligence of the EB writers and Ms. Ferre, I do, however, question their execution of the situation that they are in now. They’re branching out to many story lines without closure (I’m so glad they closed out the AnSera arc otherwise that would have been another branch blowing in the wind) and now they have Dudang enter with a proposition when they still have the ring and Yaya’s third condition up in the air, not to mention the teleserye thing with Direk Soxie. If they can’t get RJ and Meng to do a movie or teleserye in the near future, the least they can do is put some effort in polishing KS to show what these 2 can actually do since they seem to be moving to keeping things reel.
On the bright side, the MaiChard ship is continually sailing, slowly but surely. I won’t have a gown made yet but I’m starting to look at magazines and saving up for the trip home……hahahaha
@aiofthebeholder I feel you gurl! It is frustrating. I read somewhere that there is a project lined up for September (not even sure if it’s coming out September or they will start shooting). I was shock that they are willing to wait that long still. With the monies that A and M is bringing them, I cannot comprehend as to why they couldn’t change the contracts. C’mon! Whatever restrictions there are, they should look at Aldub ‘the Phenomenon’s’ longevity. Is pride an issue, too?
I can just imagine, if they are handled by a ‘William Morris Agency’. They so deserve to be looked after by such management. Oh, how I wish that such agency discovers them. As hard their criteria maybe, I still believe they are both very capable.
I had the same sentiments about Monday’s KS. This is the reason why A is constantly being ridiculed and tagged as ‘Artista’ o ‘Actingan lang’. They still do not want to separate the reel and real. Saturday could have been their breakthrough to start KS with the a reel storyline. It will really upset me if they even use the ring that A gave on Saturday as the Promise Ring plot.
I was also thinking if everyone here will visit home when they tie the knot! Wouldn’t it be nice to come together.
P.S. I will pray that you meet a much better version of Richard Faulkerson Jr. I will also pray na para ding serendipity. Bukas andyan na yan!
@K – I’ve been hearing about a movie and a teleserye since last November and I truly had high hopes that the appearance of Direk Soxie was their way of announcing it. But with this new “proposition” from Dudang, it looks like Direk Soxie was just passing through. I do hope their not planning on starting another storyline only to leave it hanging after 2-3 days. I mean, i love the pick-up lines, the corny jokes, the Lolas and I get hysterical laughs from their antics but I’m starting to get whiplash with all the bouncing around. I’m of the mind to start tweeting and bombarding EB with the link to Sir Vilo’s blog and maybe, maybe, someone at EB will read some of the threads here and get an inkling on where to take KS. Even take into consideration some of the suggestions and ideas regarding projects outside for KS for the bibis. And to be honest, the outcome of the Bora weekend is making me nervous. Even with Maine’s straightforward message to the bashers on Saturday, I’m starting to see the trolls coming back out on twitter. I’ve already read some unsavory comments on IG (not to mention the KCA disqualification petition for Maine – the petition at change.org currently has about 700+ signatures/supporters. I’m wondering tuloy if I can file a counter petition against them for filing the disqualification petition….). Kahit na sabihin ni RJ and M na kebs lang ang lahat, I’m sure na nasasaktan pa rin sila. And it totally irks me that these trolls causes some of their tampuhan (pero cute nila pag nagbati, tiklop si Tisoy kay Meggay….hihihi)
As for finding my own RFJ – I’m sure he’s out there, unfortunately, he’s probably on the other side of the world and not orbiting anywhere near where I am (Hello from the other side! HAHAHA).
Omegesh! Wouldn’t it be great if we had our own reception on their wedding day! That would be such a hoot! Sino sa #attagurls ang nasa Pinas at pwedeng mag suggest nang venue…..hahaha 😀 😀 😀
And thank you, my Tita died years ago but I’m sure she would have had plenty of suggestions to both managements on how to steer the chickidees in the right direction. Praying and crossing my fingers that both management are actually doing something that would bring these 2 to greater heights than what they have now.
@aiofthebeholder Sad to say gurl kakabalik ko lang from the Black market..kahit dun waley na daw stock ng Richard FaulkersonJr.!!!Charrr!!

PS
Hey have you seen one of M’s SC (ung kumakanta cia during the fireworks thingy)..where Pat was calling her and when she turned her back a guy’s voice said Happy Birthday!(T’was A’s no doubt!) and M just utter “Kakalurkey!!
Nagtambalentong talaga ko sa higaan ng paulit ulit while watching and replaying and watching it!!!uuggghhhh!!SERIOUSLY THESE TWO!!
On a serious note..I’m sorry for your loss.Your aunt for sure is in a happy place..:)
@Persytaymer – So trulaloo?!?! RJ only hatid sina cousin chef and Sam sa airport and he went back to join the dinner celebration? I saw the SC and thought about that but then remembered that he was seen at the airport before sunset with cousin chef and Sam. If he did go back, then very happy ako sa kanila because they were still together and able to enjoy each others company longer 😀
O di ba? Bonga if we’re all there to celebrate with them. Malay mo baka ma sign pa nilang dalawa yung tarpaulin natin at may picture picture pa…..HAHAHA…. At tama lang na si @Jilai ang nasa harapan since sya din yata ang president nang #TeamAA 😀 😀 😀
Gurl! Hindi ko keri ang pink hair, deep red violet pwede pa…..hahaha……Pa appointment na kay Barbara Sastre baka hindi kasi abutin yung payb years…..alam mo naman ang pemily natin hindi uso ang Ini-orient kaya kailangan always ready….CHAR!!
Gets ko na waley sa mundo ko ang isang RFJ (well, actually, meron noon pero sa katangahan ko, I let him go. Kaya hurt ako pag nakikita ko na merong tampuhan ang mga chickidees kasi minsan, as RFJ pointed out, yung mga misunderstandings ay dahil sa detractors,). Anyways, not closing doors pero hindi din umaasa na magkaroon pa nang forever…..GANOIN!! LOL…..
Thank you! Yes, I’m sure that she is in a very happy place 🙂 I do hope that both management come to an agreement soon if that is the problem. If not, then I hope they wake up soon and realize that they are slowly losing ground with these 2. I would really hate to see everything that they’ve worked so hard for, so far, all go to waste because the people around them don’t know how to take them to the next level. And I wish KS would start taking stock of what they already have. They really need to start working on a story board because they cannot continue in trying to blur the lines between reel and real. Not after what happened on Saturday and Sunday. I don’t think it’s fair anymore to RJ and Meng to incorporate their current status into KS as it will only continue to antagonize majority of ADN. Case in point was yesterday. It was Meng who was not feeling well not Divina. They should not have Meng into the scene whispering to Lola at all and definitely should not have included the shot of her in pain and getting into the ambulance. My gosh! Did you see the worry on RJ’s face?? I mean, really? They know how much this guy cares for the girl and they show that on national TV. Then I realized that he was leaving for Dubai in a few hours and she was all the way in Laguna! Haist! I can only imagine what was going through RJ’s mind 😦 Then later that night (team abroad here), I also realized that they never mentioned him leaving for Dubai in KS. Hulabells!! It had JapanPaMore written all over it. Hay ewan ko! Just worried for the chickidees……
@aiofthebeholder Yes mukhang trulalu my dearie..umariba pa ng fireworks tong c Tisoy..kaasar di ba!!
Noted na yang deep red vioet..ihighlights na lang ang pink CHARR!Baka akalain ni M cotton candy booth tayo..haaha!
Hoyyy wag ka emotera..may Poreber anu ka ba!!antabay antabay lang tayo dahil dito sa dalawa na to bigla ako naniwala sa destiny/serendipity/chenes na yan..tho I’m well contented and happy as a single mom of two naman..pero binuhay netong dalawa na to ang maliit na fraction ng perception ko about meeting mr right!GANOIN!
However bad life may seem, While there’s life there’s hope ika nga ni Pareng Stephen Hawking…kaya asa pa more!!hahah!
Sabi sabi nga ng mga chismosa sa kanto binalak daw ni Tisoy na ipacancel ang Dubai trip..kaso di pinayagan kasi baka makasuhan..e kung totoo man yan..maryosep Menggay ang haba ng hairlalu mo sarap kulutin!!engget ako!!hahahah!
Sino sinong involved sa politics sa tingin mo? Hihintayin kaya ng GMA management na magwane ang lt ng dalawa saka ipair sa iba. Nag-experiment sila k louise and derrick pero anong nangyari? Mababash lang ang dalawa. Iba to eh, d basta basta magagamit para magshine ang ibang artists ng gma lalo na kung iportray nila na parang pakawala sila at gawing serial dater.
@Malthus,Ewan ko po ba yung feeling na i-pair sila sa ibang actors and actresses parang nakakapag selos……hahaha! parang ganun,ok lang outside KS may project sila together pero kung pag hihiwalayin sila hmmm Hindi yata papayag si Richard nyan as of this time,sa tingin ko lang.
This is just weird..to all concerned..wasn’t there someone who posted a comment here after Vday and questioned Alden’s sincerity in using the Lord’s name? He or she mentioned something like bad things happen to people who uses the name of God in vein. I can’t remember the exact words but what is clear is this person said that Alden’s white van was involved in an accident last Jan. So parang ano pa raw ang susunod na mangyayari..now he was again involved in a car accident (his new van). Buti na lang okay naman siya. I have to scroll back to find that comment.
That was me answering a previous comment. I felt this one was going to happen pero pinagdasal ko pa rin, warning ulit yan eh. Sa tingin ko resbak ng one sided na fan ni m. Tagos sa screen yung prayer sa fans ni m na nakita ko sa party nya last tuesday. They question alden’s motives just like me after vday fiasco. I gave him benefit of the doubt after that.
I knew it couldn’t be @Cate. I’ve been going crazy going through all comments looking for that. It’s like you predicted it. Gave me goosebumps. I will still look for that comment of yours kasi swak na swak talaga. Care to give me the date you posted that para di naman ako mahirapan? So i guess bibili ulit siya ng bagong car.
I don’t remember the date. Last month ata. I just watched the epi today. I am just thrilled to see them together. No reservations this time. The accident came from the bad vibes from almira suba and fans of maine who bash alden. Those rumors linking alden to other people just like the pov of cate is in my opinion from the handlers of louise, derrick and japs. My prayer the previous night saved him. Tagos sa screen ang prayers ko k almira suba and ms. Yan ang holy spirit eh. Pero si alden kung may kelangan ng closure iclose nya for his own good yun lang ang advice ko. Pero sa tingin ko mahal nya talaga c maine.
@Javiman I was the one who pointed out his reference to the Lord but his accidents are by no means punishment from God. Alden fits the profile of the average MVA victim. 19 to 25 years of age, male. Why? Because the frontal lobe of the brain that governs reason and calculates risk is not yet fully developed. Added to that is testosterone. Other factors would be road condition, fatigue (most likely), alcohol (di naman siguro) and st*pid drivers and st*pid pedestrians etc. But in his case he is the one who rear ended the other car so the verdict from my part of the world is that it’s his fault for not having car-length following distance to give him reaction time in case the car infront suddenly stops for i.e. st*pid pedestrians. These two kids (both A and M) need a walk through where I am working at for them to see what would happen to them if they will not heed safety precautions in driving. I work with people with Spinal Cord Injury that could have been prevented by simply putting on a seatbelt and not taunting the police into a car chase (teen-agers). So I wonder how Tatay Doro and Nanay Mary Anne would react if A would ask M for a roadtrip farther than Tagaytay given his driving record? Pabalikin natin sila sa driving school and ipasaulo ang driver’s manual! Road trip, road trip ka diyan!
Best comment to start the day!!! Hahaha! I don’t think papayagan sila ulit mag roadtrip ng parents ni Maine unless the car is being towed. Bwahaha! To Maine’s credit, she has not had a car mishap so far. As for Alden, based on the Javiman’s comment, this is Alden’s second car mishap just for the 1st Quarter of the 2016! Ano ba yan, may hinahabol ba syang quota?
I guess in order for them to do roadtrips, they have to be chauffered. It will give them both free rein to video record their trip without worrying about the cars in front and behind of them.
Pero feel ko napuyat kasi si Tisoy. May mga umuugong kasi sa instagram that after Maine posted her tweet 1 hour before March 3 ended, sinundo sya ni Alden kasama yung friends nya for a birthday midnight snack. Maraming funny sa instagram so take it with a huge tub of salt.
If this is true, kailangan ni Alden ng driver 7 days a week.
@Nine He is entitled to feel pride and joy in driving his hard-earned vehicles but yes if he is too fatigued and sleep-deprived it’s better for him to get a driver. Anyway we sometimes need to learn the hard way. Sige nga tisoy kayo ni M ngayon #roadtrippamore! Papayag kaya sina Tatay?
RICHARD FAULKERSON JR. FINALLY TAKES CHARGE OF HIS OWN LIFE AND OWNS UP TO IT! HE FINALLY REALIZED HE IS THE BOSS OF HIS LIFE.
TO GMAAC AND THE MGMT TEAM OF RJ, ACCEPT THE DECISION OF YOUR BOSS. ACCEPT THE FACT THAT RICHARD FAULKERSON JR IS IN LOVE WITH NICOMAINE DEI CAPILI MENDOZA.
RICHARD FINALLY DRAWS THE LINE AND DECLARES HIS LOVE FOR MAINE. HE SAID “I LOVE YOU” TO MAINE ON NATIONAL TV AND HIS DECLARATION CAME WITH A PROMISE OF ENGAGEMENT.
THE “COURTSHIP” HAS BEGUN WITH THE MENDOZA FAMILY’S FULL BLESSING.
ALTHOUGH I THINK THIS WILL BE A SHORT COURTSHIP, I’M TOO HAPPY TO ARGUE WITH OTHER OPINIONS. LOL! SPREAD THE LOVE!
Hindi lang 3-points yon! 3-points tapos foul counted. Mantak mo hinalikan nya si Maine right smack on the lips tapos lahat ng lalaki sa family ni Maine congratulated him! Waaaah!!!
@Jilai, @K, @Perstaymer, @aiofthebeholder, @jojo @nine and all the people here in this corner and our own little nook who loves MAICHARD, i guess we can safely say MAICHARD IS REAL!!! Happy hugs guys!!!! Now we are vindicated!!! they do LOOOOOVEEEE each other… Even the Mendoza family discreetly showed us that they like and even love alden…. Finally my heart can rest… Soooo happppyyy… Party party guys…. MAICHARD IT IS!!!! MAICHARD IS STRONG!!!!💋❤️😍🎉🎊🎈
@Malthus,malapit na konti sa 12th round gusto ko yung knock out,yung may killer instinct, RFJ draw first blood sa mga naninira sa kanya,may pasabog pa yan I’m sure, we sit back and relax!
wahahahaha. Mas lalo na akong walang pakialam sa bashers nito. 😀
Siguro next time..ioorient ko na.
You looking for RFJ’s moves? Yung kanina..yun na yun. GLIMPSE pa lang yun.
“Lahat gagawin ko. Mga wish mo, wish mo sakin. Wish natin para sa ating dalawa, gagawan ko ng paraan yan Maine. Saka…kahit nasan ka pa darating ako.”
“Kapag ready kana, ako mismo magsusuot niyan sayo.” with nginig at kaba pa yan. And deym his face looked soooooo serious. Iba sa itsura niya kapag nagpapaka KS ALden siya. 😀 huwaaaaaaa.
Wagayway ang mga bandila. Kapit papuntang forever!! 😀 ❤
@jilai – lakas nang tawa ko sa friend ko who refuses to believe na ring ang laman noong box. She said na sa ayaw na nyang ma hopia pa, she’s going to stick with earrings. Sabi ko sa kanya, “sige, girl, push mo yan. earring na kung earring and when Meng is ready to put it on, tatawagan nya si Tisoy para isuot yung “earrings” HAHAHA….
@Javiman – counter nang friend ko pala….”Basta earring yun. Kasi sabi naman ni Tisoy, kahit nasaan sya pupuntahan nya!” Wala, tulaley na lang ako nang tingin sa kanya, hindi ko na pinatulan, tinawanan ko na lang nang 41M+ HAHAHA…. Hope your wife forgave you na and that you didn’t have to sleep on the couch 😀
@aiofthebeholder
jusmiyo. I kenna talaga yung earrings.
Parang kapatid ko lang. hahahaha. Earrings raw eh.
Sabi ko “kailangan ba talagang READY kana bago mo suotin yun?” kakaloka.
Kung earrings yun…ahahhaha..sobrang drama lang ni RJ. 😀
@jilai – I really thought about it and if it’s a 6 carat diamond earrings baka nga kailangan pag isipan muna talaga ni Menggay kung isusuot nya. Tapos syempe heavy sya so she’ll need RJ’s help in putting them on….HAW HAW…..HAHAHAHA
@Mari Adora….sandal….I’m still trying to get over sa mga sinabi nang family ni Meng. Love ko sina Kuya Nico at Dean….may mga pa apir apir pa kay Tisoy. At yung comment ni Tisoy kay Dean na “kusintador”….close sila? hahaha….Ano kayang tips about Meng ang na i-share na kay Tisoy ni bunso?? But I think the scene stealer out of the whole family was baby Matti, grabe! Parang sanay na sanay sa arms ni Tito Ninong, wala man lang ka imik imik and did you see when Matti was playing with Tisoy’s watch? Bali wala lang kay Tisoy. The familiarity that the Mendoza family displayed (and said) are all very telling on RJ’s status with the Mendoza family. And with the tweets from the Faulkerson clan, I would say that both sides of the family are very much for MaiChard 😀 For now, party party ako nang burberry lite muna kasi parang may storm na padating. I’m not being a party pooper, but this Bora weekend will no doubt bring in some thunderstorms. Kapit lang tayo ha? May idea na ako para sa dress ko sa kasal nila at sayang yun if I don’t get to wear it. HAHAHAHA
I AM SO HAPPY I WAS WRONG! TULOY ANG FORERVER! ROAD TRIP TO FOREVER! LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN FOR THE WEDDING OF THE CENTURY IN PHILIPPINE SHOWBIZ!!!!!!!HAHAHAHA!
I was expecting beach getaway (Balesin or Maldives) or plane ticket to NY…I was sooooo wrong!!!I expected less…he gave something beyond any of us will ever think of…agad agad nilabas ang ASAWA NI SONGSONG!!!!
RFJ & NCDM Seriously I KENNAT both of you!!!!
Habang hirap ang ibang tao na magbigay ng regalo kay Maine..itong si RFJ, andaming binigay na regalo.
It showed na ibang level yung pagkakilala niya kay Maine..it also showed na iba yung depth ng relationship meron sila. Ibang connection.
And I love it that they, BOTH, said something about all the bashing.
Ayan…nababasa nila, alam nila pero pinili nilang hindi magsalita. Dahil..tama lang naman, hindi lahat dapat pansinin.
Alden knows what people are saying but mas kebs siya. 😀
And him giving those gifts and telling her the reason behind those gifts, it was just soooo heartwarmingand kilig to watch. Sobrang iba yung mukha niya saka parang sobrang determinado, sure, confident na may halong kaba sa body language niya at sa boses niya. Walang bahid KS Alden dun especially nung dumating ang mga Mendoza.
Tapos yung “teka lang, hindi pa ako tapos” with conviction pa. Jeez. So different sa KS character niya.
Saka yung last gift “kapag ready ka na, ako mismo magsusuot niyan sayo” I kennat.
The kiss…naku, ang mild lang ng reaction ko dun kasi mas importante sakin yung gift giving.
I am just sooo happy that RFJ allowed us to see a glimpse of what he feels. Pinakita niya ang estado ng puso niya. Marami tayong hindi alam. Maraming nagaganap offcam na hindi natin alam.
Maine may be transparent but RFJ almost always sticks to the script. He’s not good sa improv so it’s safe to say na we can’t expect him to lose himself during KS or bring his real emotions at work. Maybe sometimes, pero hindi tulad ng kay Maine. And it’s understandable because he’s been in showbiz for 5 years and he’s very professional kaya kung may issues man hindi napapansin dahil hindi niya pinapakita. Maine on the other hand is bago pa at napapansin talaga sa kanya kapag may something. Kapag naiilang, kapag may something off.
And Meng,
“Alam mo ba na mahirap kang basahin?
Kaya tila bang kay hirap mong mahalin
Sa takot na hindi mo ako kayang saluhin.
Ayos lang, basta kailan man ay huwag mo akong lolokohin.”
“Lahat gagawin ko. Mga wish mo, wish mo sakin. Wish natin para sa ating dalawa, gagawan ko ng paraan yan Maine. Saka…kahit nasan ka pa darating ako.” – RFJ.
Yung linya ko lagi ko ito..nung July 16, 2015 sinabi ng Diyos or ng universe “Tama na ang pag-iisa. Tama na ang paghahanap. Labanan niyo ang mundo ng magkasama.”
Whatever walls you built around yourselves, whatever trials you two have to go through…hindi kayo nag iisa. Labanan niyo ang lahat ng magkasama.
Kung kailan ka magiging ready Maine, maghihintay kaming lahat. 🙂 Kung anong klaseng ready man yan, hihintayin ko yan.
ADN, our ship is sailing. Kapit lang!!
GUYS!!!!!! IT’s A HAPPY SUNDAY!!! AS RJ PROMISED, MAY AFTER SATURDAY SURPRISE PA CIA. THEY ARE TOGETHER,?!!!!!!! I THINK SA BORACAY!!!!!! RJ AND MAINE ARE WITH EACH OTHER…OHHHHHEMMMMGEEEEE!!!!! ROAD TO FOREVER NA TALAGAAAAAAA!!!!!!❤️💕💘💝💞🎉🎊🎉🎊🎊🎉🎉🎊. ALMOST CRYING WITH SO MUCH HAPINESS HERE!!!!!😭😭😭😫🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lalalalalala ❤ hahahaha.
Mas lalong magiging critical ang mga tao sa KS plot at career plans para sa Dalawang yan. 😀
Listen management…listen carefully. 😀
@Jilai Ito kaagad pumasok sa isip ko. See that crowd in BW? Wake up GMA and TAPE. Effortless through MaiChard’s magic they come to your door. What will you do to make them stay? You have the attention of Filipinos worldwide and accomplished international artists and personalities. What will you do about it?
@Cate
Haaaay naku. EWAN ko na lang talaga kung anong problema. Contracts, management conflict at whatever…hindi ba nila pwedeng magawan ng paraan yan? Why aren’t they doing anything? or kahit news man lang na “may movie po next year ang ALdub” or something. Give us something.
Now that all these things are happening…paano ang KS bukas? hahahaha. I hope na mag isip sila ng mabuti. Nakakaloka talaga.
@jilai… True, i think unless TAPE finally agrees to lend Maine to GMA, matetengga ang aldub/maichard sa KS. As of now in waiting ang Gma sa pgsign ng contract ni M sa kanila. Kung totoong in the works na un movie nila sa TAPE ( as per mike tuviera’s cryptic tweet) maybe hinihintay nila kun papatok un bago pa nila ipahirma si M sa gma for teleserye or guestings.
Nakakfrustrate lang kase sayang un time and talent ng dalawa, and like what you said @jilai, pano itackle ng KS ngayon ang mga ganap since saturday, with the kiss, the seemed to be approval ng family ni maine kay rj and this bora trip ng maichard as opposed to the walang kamatayang splitscreen romance ng ALDUB , at ung walang katapusang paglabas ng ibat ibang bagay sa KS plot like the diary, ring, mansion, and latest is un notebook… So many loose ends and yet KS or JF can’t seem to tie them up…
Anyways, as we always do, abangan na lng natin tomorrow… At least today one thing is clear… MAICHARD IS REAL… kung gano man kalalim un relationship nila wanakopakels basta ang important eh they indeed have something….
P.S. Tibay ng mga fantards and bashers, publicity stunt daw, tv shoot and whatever silly excuse they concocted on todays ganap just to dispel the idea of maicahrd being real… Kaloka at kakatawa sila ha!!!!! 😝😜😅
@Mari Adora
I miss you!! hahaha.
pero hayaan na ang nagsasabing publicity stunt. May pintas talaga sa kahit anong gagawin nila. So yaan na…basta tayo…masaya sa mga ganap. Ayieeeeeee.
Well I am not sooo wrong naman pala with the Beach thingy!!!!!Homaaayyygaaaadddd!!!!!Tagos na tagod dito sa gitnang silangan ang cheeziness nyo RFJ & M!!!

But the recent happenings sa maine event last saturday and today’s boracay escapade made me snap out of my lurker mode just to enjoy the moment and celebrate with you guys!!!!! Happy hugs MAICHARD PEMILY!!!!💕💑❤️
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Just saw the replay of Sat’s EB. Grabeh!!! Na iiyak ako na natutuwa na di ko na naiintindihan! CONGRATULATIONS say lahat sa’tin dito…tuloy talaga ang forever. May this MaiChard ship sail blissfully kahit anong pang bagyo at malakas na alon, kaya natin ‘to!
Just because of what RFJr said na ‘kahit saan pa si M, pupunta sya’ parang gusto ko ng paniwalaan yung mga balita about late night coffee as nlex at slex, yung pagpunta ni RFJr sa Japan to follow M…di bale ng sabihin na ‘funny’ ako…wala silang pake!!! This time lang ang pagka funny ko ay walang masyadong expectation. I am just so happy for these two.
P. S.
To all nanays here and to your nanays, in my part of the world is your special day, so ‘HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!’
@K,kaya po Hindi ako nagkamali na iniidolo ko si Richard maski nung alakdana days nya pa,nung unang nakita ko sya sa channel 7 sabi ko sa wife ko may upside itong batang ito mukhang mabait and I hope sana ito yung parang JLC ng network. Very rare talaga na magkaroon ng matinong actor nowadays although Hindi sya perpektong tao pero nag improve sya,nandyan yung humility kaya never akong nag give up as a fan niya,maski anong batikos and paninira sa kanya pero Hindi nya lang pinatulan talaga,madaming nag duda and nag husga sa kanya kung mahal nya ba si Maine,pero sabi ko sa sarili ko na sana one day he will unleash the beast of him to prove to the world yung true feelings nya sa dalaga na pure love talaga. Sa mga nag give up sa kanya maraming salamat sa naging support nyo and minsan napasaya din kayo Alden kahit papaano,basta ako kasama ng ibang supporters nya walang iwanan,parang ginebra never say die hehehe! .Saka kung sino ang babaeng mahal nya (babaeng maganda at malikot ang mukha)and doon sya maligaya eh masaya narin ako para sa kanya.
@Jojo I admire your loyalty kay A. Ako naman I never really knew him, not until Aldub came along. Kahit noong unang kita ko sa kanya, he never made that much impact. Kay M lang talaga ako na impress ng husto. Pero there was something in him that I couldn’t pinpoint at first. Not until I found out about his mother. Sa likod ng kanyang ngiti kita sng bahid ng lungkot. And personally, nagsimula ang paghanga ko sa kanya dahil sa pagmamahal nya sa yumao nyang ina. He gained my respect. It also showed his sensitivity. Itinago nya at isinarili ang sakit ng pagka wala nito. Not until dumating sa buhay nya si M. I saw kung paano unti unti nyang nailalabas/nailabas yung kanyang mga hinanakit. In some ways M seemed to have eased, if not most, some of his pain. Hence, I never doubted na di nya ipe-pursue si M. At kung maging sila na, I can feel na mamahalin nya si M kapares ng pagmamahal nya sa kanyang ina. Kaya rin siguro lagi nyang sinasabi na pag siya ay nagmahal all out. Kaya siguro para din syang urong sulong dahil ayaw nya masaktan the second time around. The thought na mawawala din ito sa kanya, mas masasaktan sya. It must also have been the reason why he chose his career over love life ng matagal na panahon. Dahil si nya nagkita Kung sinong nararapat.
Sa paghihirap nya na makamit ang pangarap sa kanya ng kanyang ina, na consume sya neto. Parang Ito lang ang naging mundo nya. In order to achieve this dream, he has to conform and he has to follow. And this world of his was shaken nang dumating si M. Para bang si M ang susi to free him from everything. Kahit minsan sumasablay pa rin. Sumasablay kasi sa mundo ng showbiz sya nag grow. Ito rin for me ang rason kung bakit maraming paninira sa kanya. Ang mga actions na ginagawa nya na di natin minsan nagugustuhan, sa part nya unintentional siguro kasi yun ang nakasanayan nya. This perhaps is something M may have to understand sa kung anumang relationship meron sila ngayon o sa darating na panahon. I feel naman na he is slowly loosening up. Pero I applaud his family, na kahit anong gulo ang mundo na kinagagalawan nya, they continued to love, guide and support him. At kita naman sa kanya kasi he remained to be a good person. He is lucky to have found M. And A need someone like her and vice versa. Kailangan lang nila intindihin ng husto ang pagkakaiba nila, at matutunan na mahalin ang mga ito ng walang masyadong expectations.
Ang mga nasabi ko ay purong observations lamang. Maybe I can relate not personally, kundi dahil I know of few men who went through the same. Kung saan they lost a loved one, especially a mother. Yung naging consequences iba iba din. May naging maganda at not so maganda.
May I ask you @Jojo, may similarities din po ba yung love life nyo kay A? Had your wife brought out the best in you and eased some of your hidden pains? Kung ayaw nyo po sagotin ok lang, tsismosa lang.
@K,naku mam K bigyan ko nalang po kayo ng konting plot sa lovelife ko kasi nahihiya din ako hahaha!. Introvert din po si misis ko kaya yung ligawan stage ni Richard Kay Maine eh,napag daanan ko na and thank God nalampasan ko.Hindi po naging madali kasi opposite kami ng wife ko in terms of personality,pero kakayanin ni Richard yan tiyaga lang and syempre one gallon of love din.
It is soooo good to know that their ship is finally moving!! Cheers Aldub Nation. Silent spectator here but it seems that I can’t contain this feeling anymore. Just too much for me to bear it alone. Sarap sumigaw, ang saya hahahahah!!!!
Dun ako nalaglag sa Mirror song, Kissoy bared what he felt for the world (including Maine) to know. Ang ganda ng song grabe and I was like, OMG!!!!! Kilig to the highest level!!!! Kilig din hubby ko hahahaha!!!

If you really want to know RFJ and NDCM’s status as a couple, then hacking their social media account is not the way to do it. Go and read those “eyes only” letters that they exchange every so often.
If KS/EB’ ‘storyline’ gets to tedious or nonsensical, then either stop watching or just accept the fact that they’re writing this script by the seat of their pants. Baka nga sa hopia paper lang. You can also rant in tweeter using their hashtag. Finally and most important, you can look into yourself and ask what made you a fan, so emotionally invested and still staying.
I used to be dismissive of EB mainly because of JDL’s history. When I first watched the show, they looked like bloated corpses held up by Botox. But what I thought was and still is the redeeming portion of the show is the Juan for All segment. That segment represent hope to a lot of marginalized members of the society. The fact that Jose, et al go out to the barangay is a major coup because all the contestant has to do is wait for their name to be called. Walang dagdag na puhunan kundi ang pag-asa. This segment is one of the reason why I still watch.
Bonus na lang sa akin na napasali si NDCM at RFJ and KS was born. It was refreshing to see a young couple develop a split screen/fansign-based relationship. It didn’t hurt that they’re both good looking and fairly attracted to each other. We or (maybe in difference to the more skeptical readers) most of us saw how their relationship developed up to this point. Everything was ok until the Tamang Panahon episode. After that episode, the fandom was rife with speculations on their relationship and grew to an obsession. And that’s one reason why there’s so much anger and bitterness.
I think the obsession about their true relationship stemmed from our society’s need for instant gratification. Like- “Six months na silang magka-kilala dapat mag jowa na sila” expectations and if not met, they were both bashed mercilessly. Pero to be fair to them, paano nila magagawang magligawan? If you look at behind the scene shots and check out their schedule, you will wonder when and how these couple had a chance to really know each other. They are always surrounded by their handlers and cameras hound their every move. Of course, there are claims of clandestine meetings/dates-things that cannot be denied nor confirmed. Pero sa totoo, saludo ako sa kanilang dalawa sa mga ginawa nila.
Isa pa, there’s no denying that NDCM and RFJ are major contributor to GMA’s revenue stream. The longer they stay in the top spot, the better the bottom line. I think the network is of the belief that as long as the audience is “bitin”, they’ll continue watching. Thus all the ‘restrictions’ so that KS story can be stretched for as long as it can.
As an aside,it will be interesting to see how the Jadine LT will fare now that they are in a relationship. I read that it took them two years get into one.
Mahaba na so let me repeat what I said at the top of my comments: Kalma lang. Let’s go back to the reason why we love watching them. If you’re no longer happy, go watch another show. Huwag murahin sila NDCM at RFJ. As for me, I am sure that they are in a very happy place and I am happy for them.
God Bless Y’all

I wrote a comment sa Instagram of a big Aldub account. I said that why do we have to obsess over the relationship status of both A and M. We have to give them some breathing space to figure out themselves kung ano ang nararamdaman nila for each other. We have to learn to step back and remember na we are only spectators. We can never dictate or command. And we can never jump into conclusions based on BTS, insider scoops, laglagan spiels or even pick up lines on TV as Divina and KS Alden. Only when pareho sila nagsalita as Maine and Alden, then dun ako maniniwala. As long as di pa sila umaamin, MaiChard is not happening. I am extremely happy with AlDub so i dont see the need to hurry things up. Love takes time to grow. We have to enjoy what both kids are willing to share with us now.
This comment of mine garnered too much attention sa Insta. I was bombarded with very foul words (grabeng pagmumura), bullied and branded a negatron and chased out of the account. Luckily, the admin was considerate enough to not block me. Jusko. Ganito na ba nangyari sa Aldubnation? No wonder we are being ridiculed by other fandoms. Respect has gone out the window. My gosh. This blog is the only safe haven i found so far. So far. Im afraid I may be chased out of this very soon. I hope not 🙂

You have to be careful where you venture and be ready with a wide range of reaction to your (what you think as) seemingly sane and objective comment.

I consider myself as a member of ADN and I have all respect to what you just wrote. Also, I think this bastos behavior can be found in other group in the social media world as well. That’s why for me, I can always choose to stop participating in the discussion. There are things more important in life than trying to convince a mob or reason with lunatics.

I didn’t see anything wrong with your comment. We must face it, we are all obsessed naman talaga kung ano ang real status ni A and M. If not, we would not be as crazy a fandom as we are now, bipolar pa nga. But then again, we must instil some reality into it, too. That is where your comment comes in. We do not want them to be pressurised in getting into something na di naman pala nila gusto. Time and space is of an essence. At the moment, I can’t seem to see them both having these (I can be wrong as I do not know kung anong nangyayari behind the scene). I also go to other Aldub social media accounts, and am shock na they just block people na mag comment na hindi ayon sa panrinig nila. I think constructive criticism is acceptable may it be negative or positive, providing no ones reputation is being slandered to the point na ibinabaon na ng husto. That’s why I prefer visiting ‘Bahay ni Kuya/Sir Vilo’, may differences man ng opinion ang mga ‘housemates’, may respeto pa rin sa isa’t isa. And may it hopefully continue.

I guess even she told herself not to expect anything beyond his usual. Her guard is up. And wisely so. She’s only 20 turning 21. She has a long exciting journey ahead of her. Enjoy the ride Maine!

LikeLike
I guess that’s also the reason why EB separated Kalyeserye from Sugod-Bahay. I suspect this is to allow the audience to see Maine as Maine, separate from her Divina character. If you notice, Maine is also much more reticent and guarded towards Alden when he tries to engage her as Maine in Sugod-Bahay than when KS Alden engages Divina in Kalyeserye.
Meanwhile, Alden and KS Alden are very difficult to differenciate. Alden continues to attempt to reach out to Maine in Sugod-Bahay using the same charming techniques KS Alden uses with Divina, but to futile results. What does it mean when Alden and KS Alden act the same? Does it mean that he’s not acting all throughout OR that he’s in fact acting all throughout? I guess this is the reason why Maine would not even allow her character Divina to get involved with KS Alden. LOL

And yes @Uncle Vic i learned my lesson na the hard way. Trying not to cross paths with jerks and lunatics sa social media. Though we are all members of ADN, we dont share the same perspective on all things AlDub. For example, people are clamoring for MaiChard since last year. With the support of huge Aldub accounts with insider infos daw, #Stronger Maichard has been the battlecry. I tried to watch EB the past week and i cringe every time Alden tries to woo Maine during Sugod Bahay. She is not as kilig and attentive as when she’s Divina in KS. Something is off. Mukhang “acting” na lang talaga. They are trying hard to keep the shiw afloat and entertain us. As a fan, i needed to draw the line e. Looking back, naisip ko na ahhh… oo nga naman, every effort that Alden did – the Valentines day tweet exchanges, ShangriLa coffee date and Tagaytay Road Trip were done during KalyeSerye. He was actually doing it for Divina and not Maine. The saturday birthday episode is for Divina also. So im not expecting too much. Kalma lang, enjoy the show.

They are first and foremost good friends & whatever feelings they have for each other are in those “eyes only” letters. RFJ and NDCM are in those private letters.
EB/KS is a show and all of them are actors. That’s how I insulate myself from any expectations. Ika nga-check your brain at the door before watching. Reel was forced in by business but Real manifests itself every so often. To avoid confusion, I suggest that assume everything as Reel. This will also stop you from condemning the actors for doing their job because you expected them to behave as the Real person. It’s unfortunate that I have to put it that way but greed killed spontaneity.
Relax and just enjoy the show RFJ and NDCM are still there and they show up every so often. When and how is really up to you. Don’t imagine anything that will make you unhappy and angry.

NDCM is a breath of fresh air sa lahat ng cast ng EB. Noticed that they all loosen up after she joined.(Well except for Julia. She’s always been cool) I think she personally salvaged Wally’s career and gave Joey DL a reason to go to work.
At any rate, please bear in mind that all the scriptwriters are women so the story is from a woman’s point of view. I think that’s the reason why KSA’s character is so weak and reactive. Probably also explain why Alden the actor is over compensating.
To answer your question (and I hope hindi mabasa ni mrs kung hindi batok ako), RFJ does a lot of things that surprises NDCM. This keeps her off balanced and makes their relationship interesting. The line “mahirap kang basahin” pertains to that – “I don’t know what to expect because you always surprise me”. His admission that he’s seloso was also a surprise. You may have also seen their BTS where NDCM sits under his shadow while RFJ spreads his shirt to give her more shade. Marami pang very subtle gestures but I cannot list them all down kasi nga as a guy ginagawa ko rin yun out of pure instinct. Tinablan ba si NDCM doon? Maybe but I would like to believe as a man that RFJ did those things not looking for reciprocation but because he cares and she deserves to be treated well.
Mahirap maglista iha kasi ba mamaya, isumbat na naman kay RFJ. Tipong, sabi ni uncle Vic ganoon dapat, bat di niya ginawa? Joke lang lola!

Well, on Feb 29, Alden and Maine had absolutely no interaction during Kalyeserye because they had to give way to Dawin. And then during the Sugod-Bahay, everyone felt the chills when Maine did not immediately respond to Alden, first when he said hi to her, and then second was when he told her, “Maine, ingat sa sugod ha”. Both times, she needed to be prodded by either Paolo or Jose to respond to Alden. And if that was not enough, everyone got stung when Maine wished she would find an enduring partner like the winning couple found in each other. Everyone was like, “Ay, hindi pa nya nahahanap? So hindi si Alden…” By the time EB was finished, everyone on twitter, IG, and FB were talking about a possible LQ.
On March 1, Maine was asked during Sugod Bahay what she wishes for on her birthday, and she responded candidly that she wishes for nothing more because she has been given so much already. No mention about wishing for a lovelife. All that time, Alden’s face was on the split screen that Jowapao had to again step-in and prod Maine about Alden. But she insisted she wishes for nothing more. And then came Maine’s exchange with Wally that went like, “Sigurado kang walang kulang?” to which Maine responded, “Wala na.” It’s like another nail on the coffin. Hay, something’s been really off since VDay. Parang umiiwas na si Maine kay Alden. And even if they tried to raise the kilig in Kalyeserye, it did nothing because Sugod-Bahay is the real deal. Kalyeserye is the scripted one.

Well, they either know something that Maine is painstakingly trying to keep because she’s the one who’s the most withdrawn during the Alden’s attempts at harutan. OR, they’re helping Alden recover lost ground post-VDay. I think Maine doesn’t want to play with emotions. Just today, Alden greeted her on her birthday during the opening segment of EB. Alden reiterated what Maine said about not having any more wishes on her birthday because she already has everything, then he added, “Since nasa ‘yo nang lahat, pwede bang sayo na lang ako?” He said this as Alden to Maine. Lumapit si Maine sa cam and asked, “Yan ba talaga ang gusto mo?” with a serious face and voice. Alden’s face turned part-nervous and part-serious before saying, “Yan talaga gusto ko.” Maine repeated the question and Alden repeated his answer this time shoving his face to the camera. Parang ang actuation ni Maine kay Alden, if what you say is true, then do what you’re supposed to do! Like she said before, “Gawin mo. Hwag puro daldal.”
Eto naman kasing si Alden, ganon ba talaga kahirap magpunta sa Bulacan? Hindi kaladkaring babae si Maine na pwedeng ligawan lang via text or facetime. He should know this by now. Gusto ni Meng madalaw sa bahay. And at least on the first visit, she wants the guy to pay tribute to her parents and ask permission from her father kung ilalabas or liligawan nya si Meng. Mahirap ba yon?

Ang hirap kasi ng setup nila eh. Unlike other LT’s na laging magkasama sa taping at shows, si Alden at Maine eh sa Eat Bulaga lang nagklikita tapos split screen pa.

At this rate hindi pa nya kayang pasukin ang isang serious relationship dahil sa sobrang busy nya. Pwedeng natatakot lang din sya na masaktan si Maine kapag hindi nya nameet ang expectations at demands nito bilang GF. Same goes to Maine. At bakit nga pala tayo nag-aapura na maging magjowa yung dalwa? Ayos lang naman na friends lang muna sila ngayon. Ang hindi kasi maganda sa LT na to is nahulog na ng husto si Maine, at dahil hindi naman sya showbiz girl, hindi nya alam kung paano ihahandle ang LT nila habang may feelings sya.

Kaya nga withdrawn si Maine as Maine sa Sugod-Bahay. Ayaw nyang makipagharutan kay Alden because she also doesn’t want to be misinterpreted or to become vulnerable to his charms. Kanina, it was again Alden who started it, flirting with Maine with words like, “Sayo na lang ako.” If that’s regular birthday speak, eh di pwede nyang sabihin yan sa kahit kaninong babae na may birthday on any day. The fact is, it is not a normal greeting to just anyone and it’s a direct suggestion of romantic intentions. It’s more than regular flirting. If he’s not ready for courtship then why say that to Maine on cam? After Maine read her poem to him last Feb 13, he should know by now that he can’t joke around with Maine on matters of the heart. Eh ba’t ginagawa pa rin nya if he’s not ready and serious about courtship? Obviously, hindi naman nagmamadali si Maine. Wala nga sa birthday wish nya ang lovelife. So anong problema ni Alden?

Is there a link where you can view the ratings over a period of time? Also, how about tweet count? Meron din ba? Local ratings are important because advertisers use that as their gauge.To me, para kasing stock market yan. You look for stocks that are behaving in a steady manner. If EB is steady at around 20% +/- 2% then that means that 1 out of 5 household is watching it. Mataas yan for a noontime show kasi nasa trabaho ang mga tao sa mga oras na yun. Tweet counts are also important because advertisers look at social media impact. I-check ko nga sa Google kung may mga link at mapag-aralan.
I hear you though. The last couple shows were “Meh” shows for me. I keep on watching because of RFJ and NDCM but pati sila parang sawa na rin sa palitan ng pick-up lines. Kaya ata nilalaglag na sila nila Jose at Wally. Sometimes I feel that the Jowapao is tired of the ‘stretching’ so they’re forcing the issue to management to set the couple free. Opinyon ko lang.
The Lolas and RFJ will be out during the Holy Week but that’s when EB shows their Lenten segments anyway. But, it will be interesting to see what happens if the couple decide to take the opportunity to go to NY for their serenpidity date at around that time also. Handa na ba ang ADN?

KS isn’t doing it for me. As Nine pointed above SB is not giving kilig either. The hugot lines and jokes seem forced now. I just want an AlDub movie and/or TS. I think I am beginning to accept that A and M are too different to be a real couple. The chemistry is there though so I want to see more of those onscreen – kinda like JLC and BA or Vilma and Christopher – the are not involved (jury is out on the first couple) but they definitely have screen magic. Their movies are always worth watching. I also hope M and A are working to improve in their craft. M’s singing voice is nice. She is not Sarah G but then again who is? She can definitely do a Nadine and do a concert – she just needs to have the confidence and training – and wise song selection. Hopefully she can also attend some workshops. I cringe a bit when she is trying to act. I know she will get there. She just needs some training. She can probably tackle something like English Only Please (without the motel scenes haha, I still want my M to be virginal) and eventually she can do a Walang Forever type movie – JM and JR were very impressive and effective. I just desperately want A and M to get out of KS and do projects that they and their audience deserve.

I think NDCM and RFJ realized that going out on a date on Vday is a bad idea. Dudumugin lang sila and there won’t be any quality time for them anyway. It would have a been a showbiz date. RFJ has always been sensitive to NDCM’s introvert personality and has taken a lot of bashings to protect her. Maybe that’s also the reason why they decided for him not to be in Vic/Pauleen’s reception anymore. The two of them together would have taken all the attention away from the Bosleng. Pero baka naman masyado lang akong bilib sa pagkatao nila. I’m funny that way.
I think EB’s is goal is 20% rating and at east 1 million tweets a day. I hope they achieve that or else affected din sila RFJ and NDCM as artists but I don’t think money is an issue for them right now. I read somewhere that endorsements are on the average 5 million pesos each and at last count, they’ve done at least 35( All figures unverified).
Maybe EB/GMA is planning or doing something in the background. They better be, this tandem is their cash cow right now.
By the way, thanks to @nine, I watched replays of the two shows mentioned above. Iba ang interpretation ko, eh but that’s the beauty of this very intelligent site. We can agree to disagree w/o being disagreeable, naks. (My English teacher would be so proud of me)

@Uncle Vic – True there is more to life than Eat Bulaga! My addiction has waned a lot to the point of not watching KS anymore. At the height of my addiction, I would scour the net for news and watch KS at least 5 times. Namemorize ko na nga ang ibang dialogue. I must have watched the mansion episode 30 times at least. That remains to be my most favorite episode. For me that is the most real – the look on RFJ’s face as he was about to enter the car is priceless. I still read showbiz news once in a while and go to this blog to see if there is anything worth watching or looking into. In spite of this, I still want M and A to be successful and fulfilled in their careers. Even tough my addiction has ceased I still want the best for the two of them and will continue to support their movies and TS. I think there is more to M and A than Eat Bulaga.

Don’t apologize for your addiction. They hooked an ex-Ranger kaya it can happen to anybody. My personal philosophy is that you should leave the people/place a bit better than you first find it and NDCM & RFJ has done that or are doing that. Of course, there are other people there that can be role models, too but at least for this fandom, A&M are doing a good job.
This couple are very intelligent and can see through the syrupy & sycophantic praises. Remember the “bakit ako” comment? They know themselves and their limitations and are doing the best they can to hone their craft. If only (other’s) greed gives them more time.
The fan base will probably shrink through attrition as those who were attractive by the novelty loses interest and leave. Those who’ll stay are currently in the second hard look phase. It’s like the feeling ng mag BF at the second year. Palipas na ang kilig at na-realize mo na hindi pala gumagamit ng dental floss and BF mo-haw haw. I’m making light of it but the point is that this where you start asking yourself -itutuloy ko pa ba ito?
I believe that the best is yet to come for these two. Their upside is just damn good. Huwag lang sanang gatasan hanggang magsawa ang mga tao pagkatapos, ibato na lang sa isang tabi. Isa pa, ingatan lang nila si Menggay at baka mamaya wala ng “char” at sabihin niya talaga ang nasa loobin niya. Tingin ko siya talaga ang reyna ng GMA ngayon so they better take care of her

@Funny Girl…In fairness to ADN, tweets are low because as soon as they hit 1M tweets, they immediately switch to tweet-voting for Maine in KCA. I have to admit that they care more about making sure Maine wins in KCA than the tweet count for #Aldub. This of course is an offshoot of the VDay fiasco. When the Vday fiasco happened, the admins of ADN collectively decided to channel their energies in making sure that Maine wins in KCA than make any statement about the fiasco. Kumbaga, don nila binuhos yong sama ng loob nila. LOL And it worked. From less than 2M lead over Kathryn Bernardo, Maine is now leading by 6.1M. Their target lead for Maine is 10M.
LikeLike
That’s a good point Nine. I don’t really have numbers but it just feels like it will be hard to match even the 5M tweet in a 24 hour period. What bothers me about Aldenatics partying without Maine and Maine fans celebrating without Alden is that it feels like the demarcation lines are being drawn. I hope it’s not the beginning of the breakup of ADN. I don’ t venture into IG and fan sites anymore. I did a few days after VDay and it wasn’t pretty. Nagbibilangan ang fans kung sino ang nagpasikat kanino. That’s not the fandom I joined. I think my approach to treat them as a love team instead of wishing they are more than that helped my mental state and get weaned from this. I will watch EB today and Saturday to enjoy Maine’s bday celebrations. I will not read anything from the tweets or pronouncements.
LikeLike
@Funny Girl…I personally don’t have any problems about Aldenatics partying without Maine, or Alden not being at Maine’s b-day bash hosted by Mainenatics. They do have their own separate fandoms and if the party is with their respective fans, I think the two take it upon themselves to give way out of respect for each other’s fan group, This allows them to support each other’s individuality, which is good for their career growth. What’s bad is when Maine is not at Alden’s fan club party or is not invited and Alden’s fans decide to invite his old LT which they prefer for him. For me, that’s a hit below the belt. Hwag naman ganon. If it’s a FC party for Alden or Maine, it should just be for Alden or Maine. If the FC decides to invite guests, they should invite the current LT first, and the presence of the current LT should determine whether they will invite other guests or not. Respeto lang.
Alden is admittedly super seloso. He said so himself. How would he or his fans feel if Jake Ejercito was invited at Maine’s FC party? Diba hindi maganda? Again, it’s all about RESPECT.
LikeLike
Well if you support each FC doing their own thing I guess they can invite who they want. Feeling ko lang masyadong obvious na ang demarcation unlike noong umpisa pa lang. Parang pataasan sila. It is sad that the so called one sided fans are the ones bringing the whole ADN down. Parang ang dami nang kanya kanyang agenda to the detriment of the team. It saddens me na they seem to be on a downward spiral – the ratings, tweets. At the height of ALDub they could easily do at least 30m tweets para tambakan si Kathryn. Ngayon pahirapan pa. I don’t understand why the management can’t give us more concrete ideas kung kailan ang umpisa ng movie or TS. I know a lot of people who have moved on. They should do something before the next shiny thing comes and AlDub becomes a thing if the past.
LikeLike
@Funny Girl…Like I said, Alden and Maine each having their own fanclubs doesn’t excempt either fanclub from following protocol. There are unspoken rules when your idol is in a partnership. Even if you are just looking at this LT in it’s most basic form as a business tandem, there are still protocols to be followed. It’s like when two companies sign a merger, neither one of them can entertain other potential corporate partners. Kasi nga may partner na sila. Respeto lang. It’s part of the protocols of partnership. Fandoms should know and follow these protocols because in its most basic sense, the LT of Alden and Maine is a business partnership. Even more serious protocols should be followed if they progress to a higher level of relationship and end up like DongYan. Again, like I said, RESPECT is something they should observe. Kung may respeto, it’s much easier for ADN to unite the fandoms when the two have joint projects.
About their teleserye, my suspicion is that TAPE doesn’t want to release Maine to GMA Artist Center for co-management. The reason is obvious. They don’t want Maine to be abused or misused. Wala pang napapasikat ang GMAAC on their own. Ang Tape ang dami na. Marian Rivera started with Tape. Maine is Tape. And Alden’s career spiked to the level it is today after he joined EB under Tape. TAPE feels that they should be the one to produce the TS for primetime. GMA wouldn’t give a primetime slot to TAPE. Kaya ayan, stalemate.

Well it’s their party. They can invite who they want. Just keep it on the down low para walang beast mode na ADN. As I said kanya kanyang agenda to the detriment of A and M.

By the time na magkasundo ang dalawa baka konti na lang ang audience. Ako I will just enjoy Maine ‘s bday and if KS improves I might come back. Otherwise I will eagerly await the movie or TS. Wag lang patagalin. If by the time JaDine’s new TS comes at wala pa ang AlDub TS I might give it a shot. I heard a lot of good things about OTWOL.

That’s why when she went back to Tape, she had to drop Popoy, which sent their 7-year relationship into a bitter end. Hindi si Popoy ang kapartner ng Tape otherwise she would still be co-managed by Popoy right now given that she’s back with Tape.

May observation lang ako after watching the videos of Maine’s bday with fans, i had the impression that Maine’s parents are not too keen on A&M being a couple. I guess they find it too soon. But Meng has always been different from her siblings. She is the only one from the brood who ventured away from the nest – spending 6 months in NY at 19yrs old and now living on her own in a condo. Even Ate Dub with her own family still lives with the parentals. So she knows what she wants and i think even if hadlangan man ng sangkaterba, she will defy everyone for love.

Oh! His tweet about wanting to go to “B”? That was deleted and replaced with added emojis….ewan ko lang talaga kung aabutin sila nang 5 years pa.

As for A’s bday naman…di na bago for him to celebrate a “special’ celeb being in the show business for quite sometime..tho it was I believe an “extra” special one since mas madami nagyon ang nagmamahal sa kanya. Plus the fact na he celebrated it with M who is extra special (ika nga nya). GANOIN!

Still #Team Kampante with regards to Maichard so no worries for me. With regards to M’s supposed coldness to A during her bday, i think it was more like mixed emotions of being overwhelmed and her being introvert kicking in again coz of the lola’s song, the presence of her friends and A of course. But i believe there is nothing more than that, just Maine being herself specially when the spotlight is on her.
Let’s wait & see on EB’s bday celebration of Maine on sat., hopefully everything turns out fine so we can all meet here at sir vilo’s blog & have a blissful & kilig filled discussion.
Shout out & ang kaway kaway 👋👋 to @jilai,@ perstaymer, @k, @aiofthebeholder and all those who love RJ & Nicomaine😘😍💋

@Persytaymer – Bonjour mon ami! Hindi pa ako tapos mag basa and I came across this holler from you 😀 Ano ganap at sumasabog na naman ang blog ni Sir Vilo?? HAHAHA
So, kamusta na tayo dyan mga friendship? Mixed feelings, anger, disappointments at hopia ang general consensus on today’s EB. Hinay hinay lang po. As Kuya Jojo (pasenya na po, as I mentioned b4 feelingera lang po ako talaga 😀 ), has mentioned before medyo ma layo layo pa ang MaiChard sa end game. Wala pa nga sa kalahati eh. I read one comment indicating how they saw Meng as distant and indifferent to Tisoy today (or for the last week or so) . May I first say how true it is that not everyone has the same point of view, not everyone will agree with what they see when they look at the same picture? So here’s my mini thesis on why Meng has been the way she has been this past week (pasensya na ulit Sir Vilo, ‘eto na naman po ako): First – has everyone understood that Meng is a self-proclaimed introvert and pessimist by nature? If you still don’t get that about her or understand what it means then may I suggest that you please research it first? Otherwise you will forever be stuck in the hopia cycle if you will keep analyzing Meng’s (and even Tisoy’s) movements as is. I’m not being a know it all (I’m not even smart just a smart-ass….hehehe) but I say all that from experience. Like Meng, I prefer my own company at times, I have a small circle of friends that I get silly with and I’m not big on crowds (they make me very nervous). I have a dry sense of humor that few people get or understand. Just a short explanation on why I relate so much to Meng and her situation. ( I also wanted to be an actress but my parents were against it, which is why I’m so proud of the bibi for pursuing her dreams even though it’s a profession that is against her nature). OK before I start going off tangent, here’s my observation: since the Tagaytay trip and Meng’s poem (not to mention the corner lip kiss), Tisoy has been slowly (but surely) been vocal about their off cam relationship. Little comments and facial expressions here and there that you will definitely miss if you’re not closely listening or paying attention. The last couple of days has been worst for Meng ( I think ) as it looks like Wally and Jose has decided to join Tisoy in voicing out as to what MIGHT be going on between the two outside of EB. I don’t see her actions towards Tisoy as distant or indifferent, I see it as nervousness and quite possibly, slight panic, on as to what he might say or do next. I think it was Meng herself who had said that Tisoy was pabebe, as in walang makakapigil sa kanya once he fully decides on something. And it looks like Tisoy has decided that he wants people to start knowing about their off cam relationship. Introverts are very private people, specially when it comes to personal relationships. We’re an affectionate bunch but we’re not flaunters, we like to keep things on the down low. To have everyone know that you have a personal relationship with one Alden Richards? Not Richard Faulkerson, Jr., not RJ, not Tisoy but THE Alden Richards??? A guy that has groups of women create the #thirstytitas, #pexers, #teamalembong and I’m sure many others (if you don’t know who they are, check them out on twitter). Dang! Do you know what that can do to one’s psyche, let alone to one who is an introvert??? In her mind, how can someone like HIM actually like, or even possibly love, someone like her? He is THE pambansang bae, granted (and let’s all be honest now) Tisoy would not be at the showbiz height that he’s at now without Meng (just as Meng would not be at this showbiz height so quickly in such a short period of time without Tisoy, they’re a package deal), while she’s a nobody who’s just trying her luck in showbiz (again, this is the way we introverts think). I absolutely feel for her and I myself am panicking as to what Tisoy may have in store for Saturday. If his speech on his birthday to her is any indication then he may just tell the whole world how he really feels about her (if he decides “to hell with management”). Unless, she can knock some sense into him between now and Saturday, bibi girl is going to be on pins and needles and will LOOK as if she’s ignoring Tisoy all together just so that SHE can keep herself together. Her main focus and objective is to not lose composure in front of thousands of people. Ok, so there’s a brief not so brief analysis on why our Menggay has been the way she has been the last couple of days. And just as with any other opinions and what-nots here, you can take everything I’ve just pointed out with a grain of salt. Have a blessed day y’all and try not to overthink KS anymore. I suggest that you just enjoy the jokes and their silly antics, as they say, laughter adds years to your life. If you start overthinking and stressing of “are they or are they not” then you’re losing about a year of your life for every minute that you stress about it…..CHAR!! Hahaha…
Oh, and one more thing – it is very unfair to compare TIsoy and Meng with anyone in showbiz and I mean ANYONE. Whether it be JaDine or even to the Dantes. Meng and Tisoy’s unconventional relationship, from how it started to how it’s going, is unlike anyone or anything that any of us have ever seen. I’m not going to go into all the differences between the 2 other couples and the chickidees otherwise I might as just write a book….hahaha. If you don’t get what I mean, well, then…….

She’s always been mahiyain towards Alden eh. I noticed that whenever Alden comes to the barangay unannounced. But then after sometime, she warms up na and makikipag-kulitan na. Typical starstruck fan ung reaction nya siguro. Remember, di pa nagsi-sink in sa kanya how popular she is now and heller, sobrang gwapo kaya ni Tisoy. Pero this time, she seemed distant. Oddly distant. Di nga sya makatingin ng diretso kay Alden. She was also expecting a kiss on the cheek but Alden kissed her hand instead. If i were to overthink this scenario (and the scenarios in SB the past week), I would probably conclude that Meng is finally waking up from a dream.
Anyway, ayoko mag-dwell sa overthinking churva ko. Im happy. Both Meng and Ritsard are happy. For now, iyon ang mahalaga 🙂

I wonder why people still compare ALDUB to the Brand X LTs. Hindi ba pwedeng enjoyin na lang ng ADN yung ganap without comparing what Brand X is doing? In my opinion, kaya nagiging masama ang tingin ng ibang LTs sa ADN is because of these comparisons. Sana iwasan na natin yung comparison sa Brand X. We get it, EB/TAPE has a different way to promote ALDUB. At the same time, pwede mo naman iappreciate yung LT na gusto mo without talking trash about another LT. Akala ko ba good values ang prinopromote ninyo? Nakakawalang gana lang yung laging pag-compare e. Pwede namang iappreciate yung LT ng walang trash talking na ginagawa. Just my two cents.

I just watched the birthday episode on facebook..hirap kasi ng Team US laging huli. Anyway, di naman ako na hopia. Ngayon lang ata ako aagree sa yo Bro. What I saw was Maine getting overwhelmed with emotions. Similar to how she was during TP ..trying to hold back the tears. With regards sa gift, when Alden handed the photobook to her Jose asked him “yan na ba ung special mo?” He answered without the mic and said something like “hinde, meron talaga. ” So for that I take my hats off to him. I still wish though that they spend a day for themselves to celebrate. Pero I am now at this point where I don’t expect them to be in a relationship. It is going to be best thing should it happen otherwise, all I want is for their careers to move forward.

Their management should expect comments and clamor about career plans and projects for MaiChard. Yun na ang titingnan ng mga tao ngayon. Ng karamihan.

The audience is not clamoring for it anymore. It used to be cool even among some yayamanin circles to know about AlDub. Not anymore. Mga jologs na lang sa circle of friends ko ang sumusubaybay. I guess this also explains why the ratings dove below 20. Nawala na ang curiosity factor. I hope the tvcs still come for A and M. Mukhang walang plano ang management na pakawalan sila sa KS. Speaking of, I watched it today after so long just because it is M bday. Even with low expectations, it is still disappointing. It was very awkward. What happened?

I cant post this observation in social media. But might as well post it here. Baka sakali someone out there has the same sentiments as myself. To start off, why all the fuss over Maine’s 21st birthday anyway? I know she did bring joy to a lot of us but she did get paid millions doing it. Right? 🙂 I kept replaying the episode today and i cannot see any instance na bumulong si Maine kay Jose (re: Nanay’s hatid to Laguna). I dont think she said it at all. Secondly, she knew there were a lot of people in Broadway today who were chanting her name but she only acknowledged them nung sinabihan lang sya ni Paulo. She had everything that we, normal human beings, can only dream of. The least she could have done is give the Lola of Sugod Bahay a month’s supply of Rejoice. Lol. We are in over our heads lately. This phenomenon has gone overboard, I think. The amount of bashing the other half of AlDub has been insane. But for me, he is the better man. He knows how to give back. With the amount of money pouring in (I heard at least $5M per TVC) plus the power and influence she has…. I hope Maine can use it to better someone else’s life.

@cupcakeandfries… My mantra has always been to be a silent lurker of this blog but there are times when i come out from just lurking and give my two cents when i see comments which seems to get my ire…
My two cents on your pov:
a. why all the fuss on M’s 21st bday… – well if you’ve forgotten or you choose to ignore the fact that Maine Mendoza is half of the PHEN-O-ME-NAL ALDUB which have hundreds or thousands of fans, it is then justified that every aldub fan is excited to celebrate her birthday. Is it that much of a bother to you that fans and even Alden Is going gaga over her bday?!??!?
b. She got paid millions for it– Yes she got paid alright but she did not just sit on a couch ang got paid millions…She’s working her ass out going to the barangays and braving the crowd daily almost 5days a week for the past 8 months while other stars shoot in the comfort of beautiful and airconditoned locations. She even shoots tvc’s after KS until the wee hours of the morning and still show up at the barangay locations with the same energy and interest in doing her spiels.
c. Nanay’s hatid to Laguna— I watched that episode too and i can say that the camera was not focused on Maine & Jose the whole time, isn’t it possible that they had the conversation while they were not focused or maine could have discreetly said it to jose. Jose is not known to praise or sugarcoat his statements during sugod bahay, he is more known in making “bara” or “basag” ( albeit just for fun) his costars so i don’t think he would say that if it is not true specially such a sweet gesture like that. Why DOUBT that Maine has a good heart to offer such hatid to laguna.. Tsk tsk….
d. About acknowledging the people in broadway— If you have been watching the sugod bahay segment behind the scenes videos, you will see that the people in the brgy are too loud with them shrieking and calling out jowapao & meng, and there are instances when their inhear is not working thay they can’t seem to hear the panel in the broadway and the fans. There are even instances that Maine fails to acnowledge Alden’s statement & you will see here asking “ano sabi”. Besides, does failing to acknowledge the fans make Maine less of a person????? Just asking….
e. Alden being bashed more— I agree with @nine that the major issues which led to the bashing of alden was missteps by his management and his aldenatics fans club. The vday fiasco, the scripted poem claim by an aldenatic, the absence in the bosleng reception, etc etc.. , and through all these Maine even had the guts to defend him during the bosleng issue thus earning the ire of bashers herself. It is not only A who is incessantly being bashed, M has her share of cruel bashing too, mainly by the one sided fans of A known as the Bnation and nowadays by ex Maine fans who felt betrayed bec they felt M chose to stick with Alden and their loveteam.
f. Alden is a better man/ Maine should use her money/influence to better someone else’s life —Yes Alden is a good man, but that doesn’t mean Maine is not at par with Alden on being a better person. Alden’s charity works are highlighted by his management like his recent aeta encounter. Maine doesn’t have a management to do that for her but that doesn’t mean she’s not sharing her earnings to the needy or doing charitable acts on her own. We may not know how she do it but a few of her acts of helping/ charity have been shared in social media by those who witnessed them first hand behind the cameras. Being a good person is not measured by the amount of money you throw out to people, just being an inspiration to fans and giving them the reason to hope and be happy is much more important than material things, and that I believe is what Alden and Maine have given to the fans who adore them.
Again, people have the free will and the right to choose whether to support or ignore ALDUB, if you think you have had enough of this so called phenomenon, then by all means, turn your back and step away from it, maybe you have better things to do than wasting your time fangirling on ALDUB, but for us who love A&M not becoz they are a phenomenon but becoz they are two beautiful souls who touched our hearts & changed our lives, we choose to stand by with them and enjoy this roller coaster ride of emotions and hope we will witness a destiny filled happy ending for them…😇😘👋
By the way, most of the people here love both A&M, we may criticize one or the other sometimes but that doesn’t mean we hate on one and love the the other like many one side fans do….by reading your comment i could surmise & bravely say without batting an eyelash that you prefer one over the other.. I don’t have to pinpoint who, it is soooo obvious!????!!!! 😓🙊
P.S. Again, sorry guys, and to sir vilo… I just had to do this… I have always been a fan of both, and i can’t help myself to defend them everytime A&M’s integrity as a person is questioned and doubts are cast on their being…😇😏😓

Maine’s charities are not meant for press release. Mostly, she gives without much fuss. Hindi sya nagtatawag ng press pag nag-aabot sya sa tao. She has at least given cash out of her out pocket to sugod bahay winners. It wasn’t announced. Nahahagip lang ng onsite fans and onlookers. Plus, her family who is well known among the circles of Shell Dealers, are known to give a lot to charity, but since Maine became a high-earning celebrity who started giving too, they became even more discreet and shunned publicizing their charities lest they be accused of politicking given that her parents work with both the private and government sectors.
How does she use her celebrity? She is a positive force to those who think they have to mold themselves into something that they’re not in order to succeed. Yes, she is a proponent of self-awareness and being true to oneself. You may say that any celebrity can promote this mantra, but you have to admit that Maine is one of very few, if not, the most effective and believable representative of it. Even Alden Richards acknowledges this given that Alden spent 5 years acting serious in interviews and social calls, hiding his true self, because that’s how serious actors are molded in network machines. When he met Maine, he admitted that he loosened up and became more comfortable in being himself in public. He even reiterated what Maine said in Meg magazine that one has to be “true to yourself because doon ka mamahalin ng tao.” This kind of influence has a greater impact to the new generation than giving money (which she and her family do to charity).

P.S. Kung na-babash man si Alden, it’s mostly because of missteps by his own team. Apparently, his management team is not in touch of his new found success. They have not bothered to check the psychology behind the new fandom which Alden and Maine have tapped. They have become so used to the organized fanclubs that GMA usually sets up (which Alden himself calls “planted”) for new discoveries, that they think they can dictate to it. ADN is not an organized fanclub you can dictate to. It’s a voluntary and spontaneous gathering of people who like the same thing…Aldub. On it’s own volition, it created a community out of people from all walks of life, breaking demographics in terms of age, gender, persuasion, educational level, income bracket, and profession, who have different perspectives, varying expectations and fantasies, but come together for a common love for Aldub.
Tape, which handles Maine, is in touch with this kind of phenomenon because they have been doing Eat Bulaga for 36 years. They have seen one phenomenon after another. So they know how to deal with this kind of fandom. That’s why they don’t expose Maine too much, because over-exposure is what’s causing Alden to be bashed constantly. What Alden’s team and GMAAC need to do is to work in harmony with Tape, given that Tape undeniably brought Alden to his current career status. They should stop fighting this notion. Even Alden admitted several times in several candid speeches during weeksaries that he has been in the industry for a while and that those years before Aldub were full of challenges. Until one day, Eat Bulaga invited him to join the show where he was paired with Maine and then suddenly, there was Aldub.
The problem is that GMAAC handles other talents apart from Alden. And they want these talents to benefit from Alden’s success.
Someone on twitter pointed this out and it’s quite glaring. They said that the last two major incidents where Alden was severely bashed online came courtesy of two artists under the same Senior Handler of GMAAC. Did you guys know that Julie Ann San Jose and Louise De Los Reyes SHARE the same Senior Handler from GMAAC? This Senior Handler is the woman who had a picture with both Alden and Maine during the recent contract signing of Eat Bulaga with GMA, but decided to acknowledge only Alden in the picture and ignore Maine completely. Kaya nga sabi ng marami sa ADN, ang sisira kay Alden ay mismong ka-team din nya sa GMAAC. No wonder Alden keeps telling Maine, “Kapit lang tayo. Huwag tayong bibitaw.” It’s probably because Alden feels that right now, si Maine lang talaga ang kakampi nya.

Would love to read about your thoughts hindi lang sa ka-AlDubhan churva natin but on life in general. Looking forward to reading your blogs soon dear. By the way, repeating Maine’s mantra na “be true to yourself”.. i changed my username to write the comment you responded to above. Im yellowmellow. Scared kc ako i might be bashed dahil sa aking bipolar tendencies. I had my share of it in the past dahil sa pagka-tactlesd ko e. But good thing most of us here are level-headed and quick to forgive. Sana. *wink! I kinda think we’re all in this for the long haul. I’ve been to both ends of this AlDub sensation – incredibly funnywalin to the point of “hiring” my cousin who lives near StaMaria to go to Starbucks at 2am at the peak of the twitterseryes of insiders. But then i bashed (yes i admit it but not proud that i did that) Alden when he was a no-show on Vday. I even cried a little kc i thought he was really going out with Louise. Suddenly Baymax doesnt look cute anymore. Parang gusto kong putukin ang mga balloons sa kotse ni Alden. Hahaha. And then, a moment ago, i took it against Maine kc she seemed indifferent towards Alden the past week. So you see @Nine, if a psychologist were to venture here in Sir Vilo’s blog, he might just find patients who can fill a whole ward. Hehe. But through all the ups and downs, i think…hmmm… recently ko lang na-admit ito…but i guess, i really do love both of them na. The kind of love that grows on you, not forced. Funny because they dont know me e. Im just of their millions of admirers all over the world. Just a dot in a crowd. I just hope that one day i can also pursue my lifelong dream and blog about “Way to go, Yellowmellow” and dance Rihanna’s Salute even. I guess my personal takeaway from this fandom is that both Alden and Maine proved beyond a shadow of doubt that with God, ALL things are possible. They fulfilled their lifelong dreams, gained a fiercely loyal following – fanmily, amassed a fortune and most importantly, found true love in the most extraordinary way. If that can happen to them, it can happen to us too 🙂 We are all created equally by the same awesome God naman di ba? 🙂 So my heart is breaming with hope. Thank you RJ and Meng 🙂

As for the pretend-insiders in twitter and IG, I have always thought that they all come from GMAAC. They’re trying to push to the public a pseudo real-life love story between Alden and Maine in order to extract the full benefit from the loveteam without having to manage a real-life relationship between the two. For them, as long as the fans THINK that there’s something going on in real-life, there’s no need for Alden to EVER pursue Maine for real. This will make it easy for them to extricate Alden from the Aldub loveteam when he’s popular enough to be on his own and use him to promote other GMAAC stars. The thing is, they may be able to control Alden, but they cannot control Maine.
Maine can read what’s happening around her very accurately. I think Maine found out that while she was in Japan, there were rumors spreading that supposedly, Alden made a short trip to follow her in Japan. And then when she arrived back in Manila, there were again rumors that she was at the parking lot of MOA during New Year’s Eve and that she and Alden celebrated New Year together. Kesyo may nakakita daw sa parking lot…kesyo yung “sitting by the window watching fireworks” that she tweeted about is in reference to her car window…kesyo kesyo…blah blah blah. And worst, there was a blind item on Fashion Pulis that closely describes Aldub which says that the two are having a lot of PDA behind the scenes like a real-life couple. And that’s why as soon as possible, Maine dispelled all these rumors by doing an interview with Ricky Lo to state categorically, loud and clear, that: 1) she and Alden are ONLY friends; 2) Alden didn’t go to Japan. 3) They’re not yet at any level of courtship. It was also in that interview that she stated that only KS Alden is in courtship with Divina.
Maine is protecting herself. These rumors are meant to extract the full benefit of having Alden and Maine in a real-life relationship without Alden actually courting and being in a real-life romantic relationship with Maine. If Maine allowed this, she would be in the losing end of the stick. When public perception becomes the truth, it means that she can no longer entertain other suitors, and if she so much as befriends a guy, she will be bashed and will be branded as a cheater, when in fact, hindi naman nya boyfriend si Alden at hindi naman ito nanliligaw sa kanya.
Who do you think fed these rumors in FB, twitter and IG? For me, I think it’s GMAAC. You see, if GMAAC had their way, they wouldn’t want Alden to EVER court Maine. EVER. But, they want the full business benefit of having the public think that the two are an item without it ever being official, making it easy to pull out Alden anytime. Alden is GMAAC’s biggest star right now, and they want their other artists to benefit from Alden’s success, namely Julie Ann San Jose and Louise de Los Reyes. It is of my opinion (and I take full responsibility for this) that they’ve been testing if they could break-up Aldub and eventually separate Alden from Maine so he could be paired with other GMAAC stars. Last December, just one week before Maine was set to visit Sunday Pinasaya, they connived with the director of the show, who favors Julie Ann San Jose a lot, to say that Alden and Julie are in a real-life romantic relationship. What happened next gave them their answer. The director took a beating on his social media that he had to go private. Julie Ann San Jose was bashed for not dispelling the rumors. (Why would she? She’s under direct orders to go along.) Alden was attacked online for the first time since Aldub started. There was digital bloodbath in twitter, IG, and FB that Alden’s team had no choice but to retreat. Eventually, Alden had to issue a statement on twitter saying it’s “not true”.
But GMAAC just wouldn’t give up. They tried to do it again on VDay, this time pairing Alden with Louise De Los Reyes, his old LT. They were probably banking on the followers of his old LT to back them up. Alden’s entire team went full force on this plan including his Aldenatics. What happened next was even worse for Alden. He had 200,000 unfollows in his IG account. His IG post last Feb 13 has over 20,000 comments and my estimate is that 70-80%% are call-outs to him for being “fake” and “insincere”. Alden’s team had no choice but to woo back Aldubnation. These past two weeks, they’ve been working hard to show that Aldenatics supports and loves Maine. His management team have been showing the love too. Alden’s team agreed for the first time for Alden and Maine to be in the same prep room for the TNT event. They also approved an Aldub appearance for Unilab where Alden is an endorser and Maine is not.
Why did Alden’s team want to separate Alden from Maine in the first place? And why so early in the game? Aldub is only 7 months old and still full of potential? My opinion is that apart from the urgent need for Alden to help other stars in GMAAC now, they also don’t want to lose Alden to Tape. Remember that Alden has already signed 5-year film contract with APT, Tape’s film company. And then in one interview, when Alden was asked if he’s going to move to another agency…his answer was, “Hindi pa.” That probably sent chills to GMAAC, because Alden’s answer indicates that there’s a possibility that he will leave. The thing with Alden is that the closer his friendship is to Maine, the happier he becomes. GMAAC fears that the happier he is, the more likely that when his contract expires, he might opt to sign with Tape. Not only will signing with Tape give Alden more control over his time and schedule, it will also make it easier to iron out projects with Maine. Eh pano na si Julia Ann San Jose? Pano na si Louise De Los Reyes?
If I were GMAAC, I will make it my business to ensure that Alden is always happy. Happiness is a CHOICE. If they keep putting Alden in miserable situations, he will not make the choice to stay with them where he is miserable. He will choose happiness. And we already know who makes him happy — Maine.

@Nine thank you for enlightening us with some of the issues regarding the management. Although, it is already transparent that there is something wrong, mainly evident from the VDay fiasco and the stagnancy of their careers at present, one would think that a management as big as them knows what to do. I agree that ADN is a huge market, but I believe that there is only one or two major reasons as to why we are all hooked with Aldub/Maiden. This should have been enough to help them strategically outline A’s and M’s career path. To be really honest, I couldn’t care less about other artists. It is time that they focus on whose giving them the money. Anyway, M’s midas touch has a rippling effect. She just need to work with these people for them to get the recognition or even the success they aspire. (Sorry I only care fo these two bibis).
Above all, if what you said is indeed true, I feel for A more. He has to stop being the good guy and start growing some. But at the same time, unfair on M, as she doesn’t need such burden when she’s only new in the business. I guess ‘kebs lang’ sya. Only cemented the fact that she really cares for A.

So, let me answer your question about people making a fuss out of Maine’s 21st birthday. Why, you ask? we are all here because of her. That simple. Bakit ang daming eklavu tungkol sa birthday niya? Because we are all freaking Aldub fans and Maine is part of this nation. Her smile kinda started all this and she deserved a celebration.
I think that it is unfair to make this seem like a competition or to even point out kung ano yung dapat niyang gawin sa sarili niyang pera. She worked hard to have what she has now. Giving back and helping others is not a competition. Whatever Maine does shouldn’t be used as a standard to measure RFJ’s sincerity or character and the same goes with Maine too. Hindi ibig sabihin na marunong mag give back si RFJ, eh dapat ganun na rin yung isa and if Maine refuse to do that…biglang tataas na ang kilay natin. It’s their money naman, so bahala silang gawin kung anong gusto nilang gawin dun. 🙂 Hindi ibig sabihin na hindi napakita sa TV ay hindi nangyari.

QUESTION PO: Does anyone know if TAPE and GMAAC are the only management companies that are allowed to work with within the GMA Network? Team abroad po ako so I’m not familiar with how the showbiz industry is ran in the Philippines. I agree with some comments that the management companies that are handling the chickidees seems to be all out of sorts in how to handle these 2. They are used to taking care of the run of the mill LTs and artists, old school kung baga. Kaya feeling ko, they are at a lost on how to handle them. That’s why it seems as if nothing is happening in getting them to move forward to doing other projects. I mean if anything like AlDub happened in the USA, these 2 would be offered movies left and right and would be all over the place by now. But then again, I suppose respective contracts with EB has them in restrictive positions. I would really love to know what their contracts with EB states as it would certainly shed a flood light as to why they’re both at a stand still.

First, “Triple A” is the talent agency division of TAPE. Ganito po yan. Most of the artists are under the so-called “TALENT AGENCY”: Luminary (Dennis, Tom, Rafael), PPL (Dingdong, Sunshine, Gabby Eigenman), ELV (Carla, Iya, Billy, Camille), Triple A (Marian, Andrea Torres, Dabarkads), Viva (Sarah, Anne, Rachelle Ann, Jadine), BAE (Jennylyn, Ella Cruz) etc etc. Some are handled by just a manager (like Lolit Solis) and not an established agency. Now, these talents signed into a TV network thru their talent agency. They then became a contract star. It’s the same concept ng mga job agency na papasok ka sa kumpanya pero hindi ka regular employee kundi contractual lang dahil yung agency mo mismo ang employer mo. 🙂
Now, sa ABS-CBN, it has its own division of talent management – the STAR MAGIC. Halos lahat actually ng stars ng dos ay hawak ng Star Magic. I can say they are good in handling talents talaga. Ang GMA naman, merong GMA Artist Center. Halos puro mga bata lang ang hawak nila at sad to say wala pa silang napoproduce na big star ng network. Alden is the first one. Si julie ann pwede rin in terms of music career.
When you are a contract artist of a network handled by external agency, your responsibility to the network (and vice versa) are solely based sa contract na pinirmahan nyo. If the contract says na may dalwa kang telserye within 2 years, then it must happen. Ang pwede lang ipagawa ng network sa talent ay kung anu lang ang nakasaad sa contract which is mga TV shows and its accompanying duties like promotions and tours. Pwede rin silang magguest sa ibang shows given the approval of the talent agency. Yung paggawa ng Album at concert, may hiwalay na contract po yun – RECORDING CONTRACT. May separate contract din para sa movies – MOVIE CONTRACT. Kaya possible na contract star ka ng GMA pero ang recording contract mo ay sa Universal Records at ang movie contract mo ay sa Viva Films. Yung mga gig sa labas, raket, provincial shows at concerts and of course endorsements ay hindi na sakop ng network. Yung agency na nila ang may hawak nun.
Sa case ng Star Magic at GMAAC, the network has full control sa talents nila because they are “homegrown”. One advantage is that palagi silang priorities over external talents. One disadvantage is hindi masyadong nakakapagdemand ang artists. At hindi rin sila nakakapagrequest ng talent fee increase basta basta. Sa external agency, the management do the negotiation of talent fee sa network. But how would the homegrown do that if their management is the network itself?
Now sa case ng ALDUB, GMA has control over Alden but none to Maine because Maine is a talent of Triple A but has no contract with GMA. Hindi sya makakagawa ang teleserye sa GMA hanggat hindi sya contract star. Pwede pa lang syang lumabas sa shows na produced mismo ng TAPE like princess in the palace. Alden, however, has exclusive contract with APT (Films). Meaning TAPE can give him movies anytime. So sa ngayon, the most possible project sa AlDub talaga is a movie.
Going to your question “Are they mishandling ALDUB”. My opinion is yes. In case of Maine, TAPE is afraid na pakawalan sya sa EB. So until now wala tayong nakikitang paglalagyan nya. Tama naman na wag syang masyadong iexpose pero hindi rin naman tama na hanggang KS na lang sya especially ngayon na dragging na ang story ng KS. So what happened is hindi magawan ng teleserye hanggang ngayon ng GMA si Alden kasi si Maine lang naman ang pwedeng itambal sa kanya sa ngayon. Yun ang hindi alam ng mga fans. Yung teleserye nya last year ay nacancel na for the sake of Aldub. Ngayon, may pinaplano na ulit na drama para sa kanya pero di pa malinaw kung kailan pwede si maine. Kapag naman pinares sya sa iba eh suicidal yun. Magagalit ang lahat sa GMA at kay Alden. So sa ngayon, binabaling na lang ng network yung career ni Alden sa recording at mga rakets. Yun nga lang, dahil dun, malaki ang chance na maover-expose si Alden. At isa pa, nakakabwisit pumili ng raket ang management nya. Ang pinipili dapat ng management para sa kanya eh yung mga lucrative, substantial at yung magpapataas ng “market value” nya as an artist. Hindi sya dapat pinapapunta sa mga ribbon cutting lang, mga fiesta sa batangas, pinagguguest sa concert kasama ang mga da who. Obviously, hindi sila magaling talagang humawak ng talent. No wonder si Alden lang ang 1st big star ng GMAAC at accidental pa ah, thru EB and AlDub.
Btw, meron din namang tinatawag na program contract. Meaning yung artist eh may contract lang for a particular project like teleserye. Ganyan ang setup ni Maricel, Gabby Concepcion, Luis Alandy, etc. So kung afraid ang TAPE na maoverexpose ng GMA si Maine eh di mag-ask muna sila ng program contract lang.

For her to be in a teleserye w/ RFJ, either a new contract needs to be drawned up or her current contract amended to add a TV show. So until that happens, NDCM is limited to Eat Bulaga only.
None of this is a problem for RFJ because he is already an employee GMA.

Sino ang apektado?
1. Si Alden. Come to think of it, hindi siya pwedeng ipares sa ibang leading lady kahit pa may magandang project na pwede sa kanya because suicide yun dahil magwiwelga ang buong ADN. So wa choice..stick muna siya sa KS.
2. Si Maine. KS’ plot is not interesting anymore. She needs to grow. Yes, KS is ok and funny sometimes but it’s super mega obvious na super dragging na ang story. Ni wala ngang matinong story yan.
The result? Alden is receving the flak pero wala siyang magawa but stick sa KS. Sa KS na isa lamang siyang side dish. Hindi siya ang bida..his character is the most mediocre character in the history of teleseryes. :3 nakakaloka.
It’s been what? 7 to 8 months tapos ang daming fans na biglang bumitaw why? because the story is not interesting anymore and kahit NEWS sa mga nakaline up na projects for them..wala.
They need to settle whatever conflict there is. Kasi sayang ang mga araw. Okay lang sana kung steady ang epekto ng KS at mga ganap kaso hindi..negative. Masyadong negative ang epekto sa isa while the other half is being taken care of by TAPE. Grabe yung imbalance.

Thinking logically it you were to pull out Aldub from where they are now eh, paano na ang commercials nila? That could be the reason why even if we turn blue from wanting to end KS – it`s not going to happen soon. Otherwise it will be like pulling a respirator`s plug from a patient, di ba?

You can tell me that it’s contract this and/or it’s because of the contract that he/she has and/or that it’s complicated BUT every contract has a loophole and can be worked around or is breakable all together. Both managements must realize by now the many options that are practically being handed to RJ and M in a silver platter and yet everything seems to be at a stand still from what we can all see. It’s coming up to 8 months since the birth of this phenomenal couple, they should have moved on beyond KS and TVCs months ago.

As for all that happened over the weekend: OMG!!! Can someone please find me a Richard Reyes Faulkerson, Jr.?!?!?!?!? I don’t care if he’s super makulit minsan, or that he has a tendency to bully Mama Ten and his friends or that he can get very OC. I don’t care as long as he looks at me with the same love and care that he looks at Meng. I don’t care about all of his minor flaws as long as he can tell the world (like he did on Saturday) that he would do everything within his power to make all my wishes, his wishes, OUR wishes come true. I don’t care as long as he can say, without any qualms, na kaya nya akong panindigan sa harap nang parents ko and it was only a small simple kiss! And please don’t get me started on the Boracay surprise. That was way beyond expectations. I can only imagine how long it took him to set everything up and to have it executed so perfectly. I admit that I want someone in their group to come out with the video of how RJ surprised Meng of his presence in Bora. Solve na ako dun, I don’t need to see any other pictures, just that and over the moon with happiness na ako.
I’m really miffed with EB and the Lolas yesterday for bringing up Bora yet constantly naming Divina instead Maine. It’s not Divina that’s in Bora, it’s Maine. It’s not Divina that RJ surprised, it was Maine. KSA did not hire the private plane to surprise Divina, it was RJ who hired the plane to surprise Maine. Thank goodness RJ emphasized Maine’s name the whole time otherwise there would be a big hole in the middle of my TV right now. It’s these things that makes fans go ape on EB. I don’t doubt the creativeness or intelligence of the EB writers and Ms. Ferre, I do, however, question their execution of the situation that they are in now. They’re branching out to many story lines without closure (I’m so glad they closed out the AnSera arc otherwise that would have been another branch blowing in the wind) and now they have Dudang enter with a proposition when they still have the ring and Yaya’s third condition up in the air, not to mention the teleserye thing with Direk Soxie. If they can’t get RJ and Meng to do a movie or teleserye in the near future, the least they can do is put some effort in polishing KS to show what these 2 can actually do since they seem to be moving to keeping things reel.
On the bright side, the MaiChard ship is continually sailing, slowly but surely. I won’t have a gown made yet but I’m starting to look at magazines and saving up for the trip home……hahahaha

@aiofthebeholder I feel you gurl! It is frustrating. I read somewhere that there is a project lined up for September (not even sure if it’s coming out September or they will start shooting). I was shock that they are willing to wait that long still. With the monies that A and M is bringing them, I cannot comprehend as to why they couldn’t change the contracts. C’mon! Whatever restrictions there are, they should look at Aldub ‘the Phenomenon’s’ longevity. Is pride an issue, too?
I can just imagine, if they are handled by a ‘William Morris Agency’. They so deserve to be looked after by such management. Oh, how I wish that such agency discovers them. As hard their criteria maybe, I still believe they are both very capable.
I had the same sentiments about Monday’s KS. This is the reason why A is constantly being ridiculed and tagged as ‘Artista’ o ‘Actingan lang’. They still do not want to separate the reel and real. Saturday could have been their breakthrough to start KS with the a reel storyline. It will really upset me if they even use the ring that A gave on Saturday as the Promise Ring plot.
I was also thinking if everyone here will visit home when they tie the knot! Wouldn’t it be nice to come together.
P.S. I will pray that you meet a much better version of Richard Faulkerson Jr. I will also pray na para ding serendipity. Bukas andyan na yan!
P.S.S Sorry pala to hear about your Aunty.

@K – I’ve been hearing about a movie and a teleserye since last November and I truly had high hopes that the appearance of Direk Soxie was their way of announcing it. But with this new “proposition” from Dudang, it looks like Direk Soxie was just passing through. I do hope their not planning on starting another storyline only to leave it hanging after 2-3 days. I mean, i love the pick-up lines, the corny jokes, the Lolas and I get hysterical laughs from their antics but I’m starting to get whiplash with all the bouncing around. I’m of the mind to start tweeting and bombarding EB with the link to Sir Vilo’s blog and maybe, maybe, someone at EB will read some of the threads here and get an inkling on where to take KS. Even take into consideration some of the suggestions and ideas regarding projects outside for KS for the bibis. And to be honest, the outcome of the Bora weekend is making me nervous. Even with Maine’s straightforward message to the bashers on Saturday, I’m starting to see the trolls coming back out on twitter. I’ve already read some unsavory comments on IG (not to mention the KCA disqualification petition for Maine – the petition at change.org currently has about 700+ signatures/supporters. I’m wondering tuloy if I can file a counter petition against them for filing the disqualification petition….). Kahit na sabihin ni RJ and M na kebs lang ang lahat, I’m sure na nasasaktan pa rin sila. And it totally irks me that these trolls causes some of their tampuhan (pero cute nila pag nagbati, tiklop si Tisoy kay Meggay….hihihi)
As for finding my own RFJ – I’m sure he’s out there, unfortunately, he’s probably on the other side of the world and not orbiting anywhere near where I am (Hello from the other side! HAHAHA).
Omegesh! Wouldn’t it be great if we had our own reception on their wedding day! That would be such a hoot! Sino sa #attagurls ang nasa Pinas at pwedeng mag suggest nang venue…..hahaha 😀 😀 😀
And thank you, my Tita died years ago but I’m sure she would have had plenty of suggestions to both managements on how to steer the chickidees in the right direction. Praying and crossing my fingers that both management are actually doing something that would bring these 2 to greater heights than what they have now.

Anyways, not closing doors pero hindi din umaasa na magkaroon pa nang forever…..GANOIN!! LOL…..
Thank you! Yes, I’m sure that she is in a very happy place 🙂 I do hope that both management come to an agreement soon if that is the problem. If not, then I hope they wake up soon and realize that they are slowly losing ground with these 2. I would really hate to see everything that they’ve worked so hard for, so far, all go to waste because the people around them don’t know how to take them to the next level. And I wish KS would start taking stock of what they already have. They really need to start working on a story board because they cannot continue in trying to blur the lines between reel and real. Not after what happened on Saturday and Sunday. I don’t think it’s fair anymore to RJ and Meng to incorporate their current status into KS as it will only continue to antagonize majority of ADN. Case in point was yesterday. It was Meng who was not feeling well not Divina. They should not have Meng into the scene whispering to Lola at all and definitely should not have included the shot of her in pain and getting into the ambulance. My gosh! Did you see the worry on RJ’s face?? I mean, really? They know how much this guy cares for the girl and they show that on national TV. Then I realized that he was leaving for Dubai in a few hours and she was all the way in Laguna! Haist! I can only imagine what was going through RJ’s mind 😦 Then later that night (team abroad here), I also realized that they never mentioned him leaving for Dubai in KS. Hulabells!! It had JapanPaMore written all over it. Hay ewan ko! Just worried for the chickidees……

@Javiman I was the one who pointed out his reference to the Lord but his accidents are by no means punishment from God. Alden fits the profile of the average MVA victim. 19 to 25 years of age, male. Why? Because the frontal lobe of the brain that governs reason and calculates risk is not yet fully developed. Added to that is testosterone. Other factors would be road condition, fatigue (most likely), alcohol (di naman siguro) and st*pid drivers and st*pid pedestrians etc. But in his case he is the one who rear ended the other car so the verdict from my part of the world is that it’s his fault for not having car-length following distance to give him reaction time in case the car infront suddenly stops for i.e. st*pid pedestrians. These two kids (both A and M) need a walk through where I am working at for them to see what would happen to them if they will not heed safety precautions in driving. I work with people with Spinal Cord Injury that could have been prevented by simply putting on a seatbelt and not taunting the police into a car chase (teen-agers). So I wonder how Tatay Doro and Nanay Mary Anne would react if A would ask M for a roadtrip farther than Tagaytay given his driving record? Pabalikin natin sila sa driving school and ipasaulo ang driver’s manual! Road trip, road trip ka diyan!

Ano ba yan, may hinahabol ba syang quota?

Habang hirap ang ibang tao na magbigay ng regalo kay Maine..itong si RFJ, andaming binigay na regalo.
It showed na ibang level yung pagkakilala niya kay Maine..it also showed na iba yung depth ng relationship meron sila. Ibang connection.
And I love it that they, BOTH, said something about all the bashing.
Ayan…nababasa nila, alam nila pero pinili nilang hindi magsalita. Dahil..tama lang naman, hindi lahat dapat pansinin.
Alden knows what people are saying but mas kebs siya. 😀
And him giving those gifts and telling her the reason behind those gifts, it was just soooo heartwarmingand kilig to watch. Sobrang iba yung mukha niya saka parang sobrang determinado, sure, confident na may halong kaba sa body language niya at sa boses niya. Walang bahid KS Alden dun especially nung dumating ang mga Mendoza.
Tapos yung “teka lang, hindi pa ako tapos” with conviction pa. Jeez. So different sa KS character niya.
Saka yung last gift “kapag ready ka na, ako mismo magsusuot niyan sayo” I kennat.
The kiss…naku, ang mild lang ng reaction ko dun kasi mas importante sakin yung gift giving.
I am just sooo happy that RFJ allowed us to see a glimpse of what he feels. Pinakita niya ang estado ng puso niya. Marami tayong hindi alam. Maraming nagaganap offcam na hindi natin alam.
Maine may be transparent but RFJ almost always sticks to the script. He’s not good sa improv so it’s safe to say na we can’t expect him to lose himself during KS or bring his real emotions at work. Maybe sometimes, pero hindi tulad ng kay Maine. And it’s understandable because he’s been in showbiz for 5 years and he’s very professional kaya kung may issues man hindi napapansin dahil hindi niya pinapakita. Maine on the other hand is bago pa at napapansin talaga sa kanya kapag may something. Kapag naiilang, kapag may something off.
And Meng,
“Alam mo ba na mahirap kang basahin?
Kaya tila bang kay hirap mong mahalin
Sa takot na hindi mo ako kayang saluhin.
Ayos lang, basta kailan man ay huwag mo akong lolokohin.”
“Lahat gagawin ko. Mga wish mo, wish mo sakin. Wish natin para sa ating dalawa, gagawan ko ng paraan yan Maine. Saka…kahit nasan ka pa darating ako.” – RFJ.
Yung linya ko lagi ko ito..nung July 16, 2015 sinabi ng Diyos or ng universe “Tama na ang pag-iisa. Tama na ang paghahanap. Labanan niyo ang mundo ng magkasama.”
Whatever walls you built around yourselves, whatever trials you two have to go through…hindi kayo nag iisa. Labanan niyo ang lahat ng magkasama.
Kung kailan ka magiging ready Maine, maghihintay kaming lahat. 🙂 Kung anong klaseng ready man yan, hihintayin ko yan.

@K,kaya po Hindi ako nagkamali na iniidolo ko si Richard maski nung alakdana days nya pa,nung unang nakita ko sya sa channel 7 sabi ko sa wife ko may upside itong batang ito mukhang mabait and I hope sana ito yung parang JLC ng network. Very rare talaga na magkaroon ng matinong actor nowadays although Hindi sya perpektong tao pero nag improve sya,nandyan yung humility kaya never akong nag give up as a fan niya,maski anong batikos and paninira sa kanya pero Hindi nya lang pinatulan talaga,madaming nag duda and nag husga sa kanya kung mahal nya ba si Maine,pero sabi ko sa sarili ko na sana one day he will unleash the beast of him to prove to the world yung true feelings nya sa dalaga na pure love talaga. Sa mga nag give up sa kanya maraming salamat sa naging support nyo and minsan napasaya din kayo Alden kahit papaano,basta ako kasama ng ibang supporters nya walang iwanan,parang ginebra never say die hehehe! .Saka kung sino ang babaeng mahal nya (babaeng maganda at malikot ang mukha)and doon sya maligaya eh masaya narin ako para sa kanya.

@Jojo I admire your loyalty kay A. Ako naman I never really knew him, not until Aldub came along. Kahit noong unang kita ko sa kanya, he never made that much impact. Kay M lang talaga ako na impress ng husto. Pero there was something in him that I couldn’t pinpoint at first. Not until I found out about his mother. Sa likod ng kanyang ngiti kita sng bahid ng lungkot. And personally, nagsimula ang paghanga ko sa kanya dahil sa pagmamahal nya sa yumao nyang ina. He gained my respect. It also showed his sensitivity. Itinago nya at isinarili ang sakit ng pagka wala nito. Not until dumating sa buhay nya si M. I saw kung paano unti unti nyang nailalabas/nailabas yung kanyang mga hinanakit. In some ways M seemed to have eased, if not most, some of his pain. Hence, I never doubted na di nya ipe-pursue si M. At kung maging sila na, I can feel na mamahalin nya si M kapares ng pagmamahal nya sa kanyang ina. Kaya rin siguro lagi nyang sinasabi na pag siya ay nagmahal all out. Kaya siguro para din syang urong sulong dahil ayaw nya masaktan the second time around. The thought na mawawala din ito sa kanya, mas masasaktan sya. It must also have been the reason why he chose his career over love life ng matagal na panahon. Dahil si nya nagkita Kung sinong nararapat.
Sa paghihirap nya na makamit ang pangarap sa kanya ng kanyang ina, na consume sya neto. Parang Ito lang ang naging mundo nya. In order to achieve this dream, he has to conform and he has to follow. And this world of his was shaken nang dumating si M. Para bang si M ang susi to free him from everything. Kahit minsan sumasablay pa rin. Sumasablay kasi sa mundo ng showbiz sya nag grow. Ito rin for me ang rason kung bakit maraming paninira sa kanya. Ang mga actions na ginagawa nya na di natin minsan nagugustuhan, sa part nya unintentional siguro kasi yun ang nakasanayan nya. This perhaps is something M may have to understand sa kung anumang relationship meron sila ngayon o sa darating na panahon. I feel naman na he is slowly loosening up. Pero I applaud his family, na kahit anong gulo ang mundo na kinagagalawan nya, they continued to love, guide and support him. At kita naman sa kanya kasi he remained to be a good person. He is lucky to have found M. And A need someone like her and vice versa. Kailangan lang nila intindihin ng husto ang pagkakaiba nila, at matutunan na mahalin ang mga ito ng walang masyadong expectations.
Ang mga nasabi ko ay purong observations lamang. Maybe I can relate not personally, kundi dahil I know of few men who went through the same. Kung saan they lost a loved one, especially a mother. Yung naging consequences iba iba din. May naging maganda at not so maganda.
May I ask you @Jojo, may similarities din po ba yung love life nyo kay A? Had your wife brought out the best in you and eased some of your hidden pains? Kung ayaw nyo po sagotin ok lang, tsismosa lang.
