October 24, 2015 is the big, big day for the AlDub fans that Lola Nidora declared as the "tamang panahon", the right and perfect time. Aldub has been trending worldwide in Twitter world for quite some months now. If you happen to be not one of the followers of this phenomenal Filipino love team, you might wonder what is all the buzz about.
The love team started from the Philippines' longest running television variety show Eat Bulaga in one of its segments titled "Kalye-serye" only last July 2015. It is a combination of a reality TV and game show series (serye) that is set on the street (Kalye) in Metro Manila and nearby provinces everyday (except Sunday). The kalyeserye was born from an original Eat Bulaga segment "Juan for All" that gives out big prize money to selected individual. The main characters of this kalyeserye are Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza aka Yaya Dub. Alden is a rising Filipino actor while Maine is an internet sensation with her YouTube dubsmash antics. The other interesting characters of this series are the three "Lola" (grandmothers) named Nidora, Tidora and Tinidora played by the show's versatile hosts Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros and Jose Manalo. You read that right, these three are male actors portraying the role of old women, they are so good at their disguise that you will surely separate their real character from the roles they are playing. What is prominent in this kalyeserye are the lessons and values which are reflective of Filipino culture in olden times. Lessons and values which revolve on building relationships, proper way of courting a lady and so much more including waiting for that perfect moment thus the byline "tamang panahon".
Although we have seen a lot of reality tv shows here and abroad, what makes this segment unique is its street-scene role playing seasoned with a comedy-like Cinderella-type plot. This is what makes the 'Aldub Nation' (yes, they earned that title for being such hardcore followers of AlDub) all glued to their tv screens to find out if there will be a happy ever after or the way they describe it a 'forever' love or friendship (?) between the two not only in a split screen romance but also in real life. Something that remains to be seen and all the more sends everyone into romantic euphoria. :-)
