The numbers tell it all – ALDUB slayed the competition last Saturday, September 26, 2015, both on TV and on Twitter. According to AGB Nielsen, “Eat Bulaga” got a TV rating of 43.1 while “It’s Showtime” only got 10.5.
The hashtag #ALDubEBforLOVE of “Eat Bulaga” garnered 25.6 million Tweets – the highest in the country to date, compared to the hashtag of “It’s Showtime” #ShowtimeKapamilyaDay that only got 6 million+ tweets.
I don’t usually watch TV and Pinoy soap opera (until the ALDUB phenomenon happened) so I’m not familiar with most good-looking guys these days. Unless, they’re making “noise” on Twitter (which I’m currently active because of ALDUB) and Instagram.
One of those good-looking guys I saw on Instagram lately is Marlo Mortel – an ABS-CBN talent. According to Wikipedia, he’s part of Star Magic (talent management of ABS-CBN) and he appeared in the hit drama series Be Careful With My Heart as Nicolo Angelo Cortez. Now, he plays the character of Gabriel Luna in the show Oh My G!
Today is the National Pabebe Wave Day – a celebration of love and unity among the ALDUB Nation. ALDUB is the most talked-about love team in the Philippines today – of Alden Richard and Maine Mendoza a.k.a. Yaya Dub.
The Official Hashtag for today’s episode of Kalye-Serye is #ALDubEBforLOVE. It will definitely be a celebration of love since today will mark the 2nd Date of ALDUB and the National Pabebe Wave Day. Fans of ALDUB are encouraged their pictures doing the Pabebe Wave.
It’s also expected that the fandom will break their own record of 12.1 million Tweets in 24 hours. Hopefully they’ll reach 15 or even 20 million for the hashtag #ALDubEBforLOVE.
The fun tandem of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (a.k.a. Yaya Dub) popularly known as ALDUB is expected to gain more than 7 million tweets today. Fans of this popular fandom will surely aim to break their previous record of 6.35 million Tweets.
The official hashtag for today is #ALDUBMostAwaitedDate because later, during the Kalyeserye portion of Eat Bulaga, the National Couple is expected to have their first date. This will surely be headline in tomorrow’s broadsheets and tabloids.
No pressure Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza – just enjoy your first date. We’ll just be here glued to the TV station, watching a live “ligawan” on national TV.
