When AlDub rose to prominence and popularity in 2015, it gained more attention as years went by.
AlDub, as a couple started, in the “Juan for All, All for Juan” portion of the GMA Network’s noontime show “Eat Bulaga” but later was featured in the “Kalye-Serye” of the program which also was hosted by comics Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola with actor Paolo Ballesteros as the grand dames of the portmanteau.
Al came from the first syllable of the name of Alden while Dub was the full moniker for Yaya (BabySitter/Caregiver) Dub — an adapted name because Maine was famous for her dubbing, lip synching songs and scripts for her popular social media platforms.
Aldun Nation
Publicly, Santa Rosa City Boy Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza composed the so-called “supercouple” AlDub which caught the whole nation by surprise, thus, AlDub Nation was born.
Alden and Maine were two of the most significant others of the loveteam AlDub which the Filipinos, mostly girls and women, swooned over. And boys and men, especially from the masses, related and identified with. They are ideal pairs. Fans wanted them to be the real husband and wife in private but Mendoza opted to ventilate her opinions, convictions and sentiments that she wanted to have her own independence as a member of the duo.
She readily explained that she was all for the acting as Yaya Dub’s love interest of Alden but offstage she would want to maintain her own beliefs and inclinations — that she was in love with a different man in the person of Arjo Atayde.
AlDub’s mammoth of supporters initially didn’t accept the idea but later on they had learned to live with it although there are still dyed-in-the-wool AlDub followers who harbor their feelings for oneness of Maine and Alden.
Mendoza’s firmness got the better of her when she still maintained her popularity even if AlDub had been broken.
Was he invited?
Richards was conspicuously absent during the wedding of Maine and Arjo at the Baguio Mountain Lodges Chapel recently.
Fans were asking why the other half of the former AlDub didn’t show up. They wondered if he was even invited. Or if he was around, he could have eclipsed the memorable occasion of his Yaya Dub’s glorious moment.
On his part, Alden recognized the influence and role of Maine in his career. It was a symbiotic bonding. He wouldn’t be partly where he is now sans Maine’s pivot on him.
Until now, fans are asking where Alden was during Maine and Arjo’s matrimony.
One thing is sure, though, Richards was busy and committed to the demands of his craft, one of them was shooting commercials for broadcast or podcast.
