How it all started

It was July 16 when the two started exchanging glances in Eat Bulaga’s “Juan for All, All for Juan” segment.  With Alden being in the studio and Yaya Dub on the streets with the gang, the two can only exchange glances through the camera.  The distance didn’t faze them and the two would occasionally do the “pabebe wave” (a reference to another online sensation) to each other.  Yaya Dub couldn’t hide her smile and the fixed frown on her face would often break down in excitement over Alden.  Eat Bulaga’s crew and viewers alike noticed the chemistry between them which was fueled by after show twitter exchange between the two that same day.  It was revealed that Yaya Dub has a crush on Alden in real life.


The Story so far

The next day came with fans expecting more and they did not let them down as they quickly built the story up by throwing in an immediate villain to the scene.  Everyone started to get really fired up when “Lola Nidora” portrayed by comedian Wally Bayola expressed that she doesn’t want Alden for Yaya Dub because of a reason that she kept hidden on a book that was stolen. 

Sweet moments were shared by the two especially on their “weeksaries” where at some point Alden even asked a “Riding in tandem” to deliver flowers to Yaya Dub.


Lola Nidora would often get her bodyguards to lock Yaya Dub down in her limo building up the complications in the story.


Reactions from fans were really great.  Viewers were all hyped and excited about the developments.  There’s even this Youtube video of a girl named “Asha” crying with so much anger against the cruelty of Lola Nidora which gained a lot of views as well from netizens.


The villain factor of Lola Nidora went all the way up when one day she had Richard Alden Abducted during the show which added to the “teleserye” mood of the story.

Alden eventually got out, but then Lola Nidora introduced Yaya Dub to Frankie Arinoli (played by Jose Manalo), forcing her to marry him.  This started the tandem name #YaKie (which literally amounts to Yucky).  It was a really fun twist to the story especially with Jose’s portrayal of the role.  Fans couldn’t get enough of it.  Yaya Dub was forced to marry her but then fainted (for real) during her wedding day saying that her fear of holes (Trypophobia) was triggered by Frankie’s acne marks which cracked everyone up.


Alden also came to the wedding hoping to stop it and to finally see Yaya Dub in person to the dismay of the fans since Yaya Dub was already taken to a Hospital.  He then just confronted Frankie which really gave a punch of action to the story.


Touched by a lot of “get well” messages from fans, Yaya Dub said that she’s still “alive and kicking” and is happy that her wedding did not push through.  However, she also said that she’s sad because she still didn’t get the chance to meet Alden in person.


What fans are really looking forward to

Well up until today, Alden and Yaya Dub still hasn’t seen each other in person yet.  This truth alone is enough to keep everyone’s attention focused on this noontime reality drama series or “kalyeserye” as they call it.  Everyone is eager to see them meet up face to face.  Everyone wants to know how each of them would react when that time comes.  The chemistry between the two and the genuine emotions make it all more special.

“…I’m not closing any doors to anything. I’m open for any possibilities…” Alden said on one interview posted on another site.  The question was about the possibility of him courting Yaya Dub in time.  He even said that she really finds her pretty.  He also confirmed that he’s never really seen Yaya Dub in person, not even a strand of her hair.

It was all an accident but there’s future in it

In an interview with Director Mike Tuviera, he said “It was all an accident.”  The director said that it was born from the moment that the staff found out that in real life, Yaya Dub has a crush on Alden.  No one knew about it.  Someone found out and then they experimented by asking Alden to come out on screen.  They focused the camera on him and asked him to do the usual heartthrob looks and then it all just happened as they watch Yaya Dub react to everything.

The director said that huge crowds of fans now camp outside of the studio everyday –something that doesn’t usually happen before the Aldub craze started.  People who used to go home because they can’t come in all stay outside hoping to catch Alden running outside to see Yaya Dub.  The acceptance of the viewers and netizens all amaze them and the gratitude that they feel is really overflowing.

According to Philippine Entertainment Portal, Director Mike Tuviera said that an Aldub movie is a possibility but will really depend on the clamor of the fans.  He said that they will try to make it happen if the fans really want to see it.

Alden Richards just recently signed a four-year contract with APT Films and there are rumors that Maine Mendoza aka Yaya Dub will sign next.

In case of an Aldub movie, Director Tuviera said that he wants to be the one to direct their first movie together.  He also confirmed that the two really haven’t met in person yet.  He said that in real life, there are a lot of “Lola Nidora” behind the camera.  They are forbidden to text or call each other and they aren’t even allowed to be at one location at the same time.  Who knows?  The feel and excitement might turn to reality after all.

In the social media’s end, a lot of fans are trying to get everyone’s hopes up by putting up some edited picture of the two together.  There’s even one netizen that came up with a trailer video for the Filipino remake of “My Love from the Stars” (a Korean series) featuring Alden Richards and Yaya Dub as the main casts.

There’s really no stopping these two from rising all the way up.  And whatever project (or relationship, if all goes well) Aldub might have in the future, there sure is a fan base ready for it.  We all just have to stay tuned and wait for the right time as everyone else is doing.#Aldub: Not Your Average Loveteam
