The hashtag #ALDUB, which people all over the world are seeing over and over again as the top trending topic on Twitter, pertains to a Filipino onscreen couple, reel lovers, Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards. The two are now considered a power couple that has achieved a global phenomenon.
The hashtag was born out of combining Richards’ first name Alden and Mendoza’s screen name, Yaya Dub, which she used in Philippine noontime show “Eat Bulaga.” Their onscreen chemistry can be compared to that of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” Except that Mendoza and Richards are yet to have a movie. What they have is a mini-TV series shown everyday during lunch hour in the Philippines.
Nevertheless, the onscreen couple was already dubbed as a global phenomenon by Twitter Asia Pacific and Middle East Vice President, Rishi Jaitly. According to a report from Rappler, the reel sweethearts garnered a record 26 million tweets on Sept. 26 with the hashtag #AlDubEBforLove. In an interview with Rappler, Jaitly noted that this was just short of a couple of million tweets to break the record global tweets for Super Bowl XLIX in February 2015.
Jaitly said that the recorded tweets for the couple in September had surpassed the tweets about the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards – this was despite the mini-TV series starring Mendoza and Richards being a 30-minute segment, and in spite of Miley Cyrus hosting the MTV awards. Not to mention that Kanye West also announced he was running for president in 2020 during the recently held MTV.
Jaitly told Rappler that Twitter had initially doubted the authenticity of the tweets pertaining to ALDUB but they found out that they were wrong. “This is such a global phenomenon, as I said, that we had to look internally to make sure that these tweet volumes were in fact authentic. But this is real, this is not a sideshow, this is real media being creative,” Jaitly told Rappler.
In a separate report from Rappler, Broadway artist and international celebrity Lea Salonga came under fire when she tweeted something that was misunderstood by fans as criticism of the power couple. According to a report from BITBAG, rapper Dawin thanked the power couple for using his song “Dessert” in their miniseries. The international band Lifehouse also invited Mendoza and Richards to watch their concert. Broadway producer Shea Arendar also expressed desire to cast the two for his new comedy musical.
Ateneo Player John Apacible Identified as 'Drunk Driver' Who Went on a Rage in Viral Video
Source: www.spin.ph
ONE player of the Ateneo Blue Eagles has found himself at the center of a storm - and it has nothing to do with Typhoon Lando or basketball for that matter.
Ateneo sophomore John Apacible has been identified by multiple sources as the 'drunk driver' flashing a 'councilor' vanity plate who caused a commotion along timog Avenue in Quezon City around midnight of Sunday.
A video shared by our sister site Top Gear which has seen gone viral showed a young man who the owner of the video, a certain Yan Bote, claimed was very drunk and had hit a driver of a delivery van and harassed other drivers.
The three-minute, 28-second video also saw the man challenging the one who was taking a video to a fight before he was allowed to leave by responding policemen and traffic enforcers.
Along timog ave qc. Plate number ACA 7111. Lasing n lasing ung driver tpos nang gulpi ng driver ng delivery van at nanghampas ng dumadaang kotse tpos nanggigitgit ng mga sasakyan. 12 am nangyari kanina lng. D man lng hinuli ng mga pulis. Hinayaan p magdrive kahit lasing at may mga nagrereklamo dun.
Posted by Yan Bote on Saturday, October 17, 2015
The video has caused widespread anger on social media.
A check done by Top Gear editors on the identity of the allegedly drunken driver led them to believe the man is a player from a top university currently seeing action in the college basketball leagues.
Given the lead, Spin.ph did its own checking through sources and confirmed that the man is really Apacible, a 6-3 forward who is in his second season with the Blue Eagles in the UAAP after a stint with Hope Christian in high school.
At least three players have identified Apacible as the one in the video. They have also identified him through the car he was driving during the commotion.
This was later confirmed by Ateneo school officials who came out with a statement on the incident saying Apacible has apologized for his 'reprehensible behavior' during the incident.
At posting time, Ateneo coaches and school officials were in a meeting to discuss the incident after vowing 'appropriate and swift' action for what they described as Apacible's 'unacceptable behavior.'
Top Gear editors also said it was Apacible's girlfriend who apparently owns the 'councilor' vanity plate he was flashing before traffic enforcers during Sunday's incident.
Here's the copy of the Ateneo memo:

If She Goes, I Go, Too

In mainstream entertainment industry, the audience is king. Thus, networks are pressured to give in to the demands of viewers to make sure that loyalty is retained. Social media has become a main factor in gauging the feelings of the audience. With a few hundred characters or a thousand words, followers can express their reaction to their favorite shows or celebrities. Today’s netizens can sometimes be impatient and want their requests, if not demands, to be acted on by the network immediately.
If things were easily run that way, all viewers will be happy because they will be getting what they want to see on free TV. However, strategies and interests prevail in the running of any show. On one hand, certain celebrities are seen on TV more often because the management has plans for them even if such celebrities still have to win the favor of the viewers. On the other hand, some celebrities, even if they have strong social media following, are not seen as often because of management decision. For instance, celebrities might be difficult to work with, have attitude problems, or have difficulty blending with the group. Expect such celebrity to have less exposure.
Other than audience and celebrity factors, sponsorship and endorsements can come into play. If a celebrity is a favorite endorser of a sponsor of the show, then that celebrity will definitely have his/her time on screen. Without ads, a show might simply fold up regardless of the talent or star power of the cast. In other words, maintaining top ratings is complicated.
Nonetheless, the most significant factor to consider is the performance of shows that share the same time slot. If a rival show suddenly introduces an innovation and ratings surge out of nowhere, expect the other shows to change their strategy to make sure the present viewers are retained and new ones are gained.
When a station risked changing the usual format of shows for a particular time slot, many viewers were surprised that the other station (OS) suddenly changed its time-tested format. Instead of seeing the most anticipated performances of their idols, fans were treated to skits and games. Thus, the change was met with varied reactions. First, the change was abrupt, and was thus perceived as a reactionary move to counteract the rival network’s new show. Second, fans were not happy to see their idols acting, which is something that they have been doing for days. Third, some segments seemed off.
The feedback was not what the network had expected. Most were negative and demanded the removal of the segments that were introduced. Further, when the new segments will be removed, Fiery Host (FH) will be taken out as well. Allegedly, netizens found the style of FH annoying, as she puts the guests on the spot. Of course, fans are not too keen on seeing their idols placed in potentially embarrassing situations on live TV.
FH got wind of the possibility that she might be removed, she sought comfort with a Major Celebrity (MC). MC was sympathetic to the concern of FH and promised to do what she could to help FH secure her spot in the show. MC approached the production and hinted that she will leave the show if FH is removed. The statement was simple, yet crucial, because MC has a huge following and her leaving will certainly stir up intrigue. So, will MC stand in the way of improving the show, or will the network do what it intends to and say “bye” to MC? Thus, viewers can stay put and pass around the popcorn.

Lawyer on CA Order: No Need to Arrest Willie, He Already Posted Bail

Willie Revillame's lawyer clarified that the television host has already posted bail for charges of child abuse and child exploitation, even before the Court of Appeals' decision to uphold a trial court's warrant of arrest against him.
"He has posted bail after the criminal information was filed by the city prosecutor for Quezon City. In effect, there is no need for a warrant of arrest," Revillame's legal counsel Nards De Vera told GMA News Online.
News reports indicated that the CA ruling ordered Revillame's arrest, which his camp is seeking to clarify.
"We want to correct that misimpression that the court of appeals has ordered his arrest. What the CA said that it is okay for the RTC to issue a warrant of arrest so that Willie could be arraigned," said the lawyer.
In the decision penned by Associate Justice Ma. Luisa Quijano-Padilla dated September 7, 2015, the appeals court's 13th division held up the warrant issued by Quezon City Regional Trial Court Judge Roberto P. Buenaventura for Revillame's arrest because of probable cause.
"When the CA made the decision, it only merely said that the judge was correct in finding the probable cause," De Vera said.
The lawyer also said the new development would allow Revillame to have his day in court.
"Let the trial proceed so that the government can prove its case and Willie can exercise his right in the trial. That's all it meant," he said.
"I hope we would emphasize is what the CA is saying is you may proceed for the trial so that the guilt or innocence of Willie can be determined by the court.
"So now we will proceed with the trial."
'No evidence of child abuse'
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) filed the complaint for violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Anti-Child Abuse Law before the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office after receiving complaints about an incident in Revillame's defunct show "Willing Willie" that featured a six-year-old boy performing gyrating dance moves in 2011.
But De Vera defended his client, saying there is no evidence supporting the charges.
"There is no evidence that there was child abuse. Number one the child, the mother, the father, never complained. In fact sabi nila they are very grateful dahil na boost 'yung confidence nung bata... Nakakatuwaan siya ng mga tao,"
"We'll just proceed with the case and we are confident that the evidence will show that there is no truth to the complaint filed against Willie."

Willie Revillame Ordered Arrested over Child Abuse Case

The Court of Appeals gave the go-signal for the arrest and prosecution of television host Willie Revillame on charges of child abuse and child exploitation.
In an 11-page decision issued by the appeals court 13th division through Associate Justice Ma. Luisa Quijano-Padilla, it said the Quezon City Regional Trial Court correctly issued the order.
Revillame was charged with child abuse after he made a six-year-old boy perform gyrating moves like male strippers in a March 2011 episode of his defunct show “Willing Willie.”
He asked the boy to repeat his dance moves and gave the boy P10,000. The host even tried to imitate the boy’s moves and at one point raised the boy on hydraulic circular platform while the host shouted “beer pa.”
The boy at one point appeared to have been crying while doing the dance moves.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development filed a complaint for violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Anti-Child Abuse Law before the Quezon City Prosecutors Office, which later on filed the case in court.
“There is probable cause for the petitioner’s commission of a crime, his arrest and arraignment should now ensue so that this case may properly proceed to trial where the merits of both parties’ evidence and allegations may be weighed,” the appeals court said adding that “the case had long been delayed because of the petitioner’s refusal to submit to the trial court’s jurisdiction and erroneous invocation of the Rules in his favor.”
The appeals court said the lower court followed the rules in thoroughly evaluating the evidence and factual circumstances presented before him before finding probable cause to order Revillame’s arrest.
Revillame filed a motion for reconsideration before the lower court but was denied on Oct. 4, 2013.
The court said Revillame’s argument that he has no intention of violating the law should be best threshed out during trial.
Concurring with the ruling were Associate Justices Normandie Pizarro and Samuel Gaerlan.

Consequences of Poor Decision Making
Image courtesy of www.lavergneaiko.wordpress.com
Their story was supposed to be a typical fairytale. Boy meets girl and they fall in love despite all negative forces. Boy and girl fight for their love by defying the odds and undergoing sacrifices until they are accepted. At the end of their story, boy and girl overcome all odds, get married, and raise their baby together. Thus, happy ending is achieved. However, similar to many former showbiz couples, Cute Actor (CA) and Favored Talent Actress (FT) had to forego their love, even if they had a second chance.
As things seemed fine in their relationship, trouble was already brewing, emotions took over, and they had to cut their ties. A controversial incident was easily pinpointed as the reason for the breakup. Yet, another story has emerged and this time, and the root cause of the doomed fairy tale was far more serious.
CA allegedly found out that FT went out of town for a secret appointment. Away from people who might know her, FT thought that she was able to do her business in a clinic quietly. Unknown to her, someone saw her in the alleged clinic, which has services that are banned in the country. When CA realized what FT had done without telling him, he became quite disturbed. On one hand, CA could have lost, but on the other hand, the loss could not have been his.
Although she was with CA, rumors are persistent that FT is a favorite of an Influential Personality IP. Her position thus made it possible for her to corner certain roles that have exposed her shortcomings in acting. Nonetheless, FT is still very active among the list of talents who get good roles.
Therefore, could IP be the one who actually lost it when FT went to the clinic? If that were true, FT might have done a poor decision. Years ago, An Actress (AA) was in a similar situation as FT. AA was subjected to the same rumors, which worsened because she disappeared for some time. Although she was able to reactivate her career, she again left and opted to raise her family, and as far as her children are concerned, Her Husband (HH) has kindly taken responsibility for each one. While HH has a low profile career, some are still questioning how they could afford to have such lifestyle. Speculations have it that the family is well supported by IP because AA did not take the same path allegedly taken by FT.
