Accepting the Ugly Truth
Image courtesy of www.wikihow.com
One of the saddest days in marriage would be the day that husband and wife realize that they are not attuned to each other, and what was supposed to be a match made in heaven was turning into a living hell. A high profile relationship and the ideal family image do not guarantee that all is well between the man and woman.
After several years into their marriage, Talented Actress (TA) discovered that Her Husband (HH) has been keeping a secret from her. TA discovered that HH has an alleged mistress (AM) whom he has set–up in a flat. AM and HH share the same school and chances are both had been classmates. Thus, HH had met AM long before he met TA. Belonging to the few celebrities who can wave a diploma from a university, HH projects an image of someone responsible.
The marital problem reached a point that TA and HH already consulted a lawyer. However, their family image is very strong and breaking apart their family will have more consequences than a ruined reputation. They have many endorsements that could be affected if they separate. Consumer products are keen on utilizing celebrities that project the ideal as their brand image. Hence, a tumultuous relationship can affect the brand they are endorsing.
Nonetheless, no one wants a broken family, which is so typical of showbiz marriages. Instead of pursuing legal options, TA and HH opted to make their marriage work. In what was perceived as a desperate effort, TA did something drastic to make HH interested.
However, this new situation did not stop the issue. HH and AM are still together. Thus, TA has decided to let things be in anticipation that HH will come back to his senses and remember his vows at the altar. Perhaps, TA has succumbed to accepting a mistress in their lives if she wants their marriage to last.
TA and HH have different backgrounds. While TA was struggling in showbiz to establish a career, HH was living the life of a typical student in a private school. As TA fretted over her career direction, HH was probably mulling over where he would work after completing his degree. Although HH is a celebrity in his own right, he always seems to have his foot firmly anchored in his private life. As time passed, HH realized that he could not achieve a certain level of conversation with TA, who has spent her whole life in the crazy world of showbiz. Thus, they probably could not achieve the quality communication that HH had expected.
Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away. -Ismail Haniyeh

ALDUB Phenomenon Featured on BBC News

'AlDub': A social media phenomenon about love and lip-synching
It is a surreal and wildly popular show which has smashed global social media records. But few outside the Philippines have even heard of the phenomenon called AlDub.
What follows is everything you need to know about lip-synching, being in love with somebody you have never met and how to break records on Twitter.
What or who is 'AlDub'?
For several months, viewers across the Philippines have been tuning in to watch 'Eat Bulaga!', a popular afternoon variety show, which features a skit with a pair of lovers who have never met in the flesh.
On the show, their romance is conducted via a split screen and as it developed, obstacles after obstacle cropped up to prevent the onscreen duo from meeting.
'AlDub' is a play on the first names of Filipino actors Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (who plays the character Yaya Dub on the show), both stars with huge followings on social media.

It all became too much for the multitudes of adoring fans, who began to take action on social media by lobbying for the couple to finally meet in person. Each week, an episode spawned multiple and hugely popular Twitter hashtags to this end.
"Brangelina has got nothing on AlDub, they are my favourite super power couple - I love them so much," gushed Filipino Twitter user Maria Joy Coloma, a fan from Cebu province.
"When will AlDub ever overcome the odds and unite? That will be when my life becomes complete," lamented another Twitter user Desiree Lopez in the capital city of Manila.
And then they finally met...
On 24 October, fans got their wish and for the first time, finally got to see the couple meet - on the set of a huge charity concert celebrating the show's 36th anniversary.

Thousands attended the event and in just one day, the hashtag #AlDubEBTamangPanahon (translation: AlDub, in the right time) drew more than 41 million tweets, smashing the previous Twitter record held by Brazil's 2014 Fifa World Cup defeat to Germany.
And it isn't just the local fans. US politicians and even alternative rock bands, have declared their love for the show and its young stars.
The formula for a phenomenon
Legions of fans in the Philippines have been rooting for the popular couple to finally meet and get together

TV host and blogger Daphne Osena Paez explains that their love story appealed to all sectors of Filipino society and was created by playing on a popular formula used in the Philippine entertainment industry.
"Actors and actresses are often paired up so fans hope they end up together in real life. But what's different about 'AlDub'... is that it wasn't just the creation of a TV network or movie production," she said.
Their pairing began on live TV when they started reacting to each other spontaneously within the Eat Bulgaga variety show.
Now, she says, they are the most popular "love team" in the Philippines.
But another key to their popularity is their ability to connect with ordinary people.
"They appear very down-to-earth," says BBC presenter Rico Hizon, who admits to being a huge fan of the series.
"I believe that one big reason they are so popular is because the actors are very humble despite their massive success - they keep thanking fans as well as everyone who supports their work.
And now for the lip-synching part
The Philippines is a musical country where the online art of Dubsmash has become a craze.
Dubsmash allows social media users to lip-synch over catchy songs, speeches or film quotes, and is featured prominently on the show.
Skilful lip-synching was what propelled Maine Mendoza, who was already an internet celebrity and known as the "dubsmash queen", onto the show in the first place.

She began interacting via a split-screen with Alden and the rest is history. Amazingly, neither of the characters have any speaking lines on the show.
Instead, they express their adoration for each other by blending lines from popular love songs and movies.
Thanks to her role as Yaya Dub, Ms Mendoza has now become the third fastest-growing celebrity on Twitter, after US singers Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
The secret power of trend-setting Filipinos
Twitter called it a "global phenomenon" after it most recently broke social media records.
More than 50,000 fans flocked to the stadium in Manila to catch a glimpse of stars from the popular variety show

However, one earlier hashtag which followed after a controversial episode that saw Yaya Dub almost marry another character, spawned 800,000 tweets in a day. Other regular hashtags related to the show, regularly draw millions of tweets.
"'AlDub' was a global phenomenon on Twitter and it shows how our platform, as the social soundtrack to TV, has really connected Filipinos who love a good love story," the site's Asia Pacific Vice President Rishi Jaitly told Philippine news portal Rappler.
"None of it was planned," adds Ms Paez. "It's not like the show hired social media experts to strategise a plan - they realised what they had: a new and younger social-media savvy audience."
For many in the Philippines, the fact that the show broke a global social media record was no surprise.
Analysts say Filipinos are particularly social and community-centric. "There is often a strong connection between an individual and his community or home town," Ms Paez told the BBC.
The internet has become one of the most natural places for Filipinos to forge community.

Must Not Admit to Anything
Image courtesy of www.naijastories.com
Although Female Celebrity (FC) has attempted to shun the limelight, her presence is still felt whenever she attends functions and goes around town. Her appearance still makes heads turn, as she did make an impression in showbiz some time ago. While she tries to keep a low profile, people still look at her, but perhaps, it is more of the intrigues attached to her name, rather than her looks.
A few weeks ago, FC was seen lining up in an embassy, which was normal routine for anyone who wants to visit another country. However, what made people give a glimpse is that FC was with a young child of about four and a nanny. Of course, the assumption is that FC is the legal guardian of the young child, as only legal guardians are allowed to accompany minors when applying for a visa.
Seeing FC and the child made people think that the rumor that FC has been denying for the past years is slowly unraveling itself to the public. Years ago, FC allegedly hooked up with Powerful Personality (PP) from a particular locale. Both FC and PP were still married, and thus, their alleged relationship raised a lot of eyebrows. Despite being seen together, FC and PP neither confirmed nor denied that they were together. Any admission would be detrimental to their careers. While FC might not be as active in showbiz, rumors of having a second family would affect the reputation of PP.
Try as she could to hide the relationship, time is revealing that such rumor of their relationship is indeed an open secret. It’s like everyone knows about it, but no one would dare write about the relationship with full disclosure. Added to this rumor is that they have a lovechild. Again, FC and PP have kept mum on this matter for obvious reasons.
As sightings of FC and the young child are becoming frequent, FC and her camp just keep quiet when asked about such circumstances. Rare are people who actually dare ask her, as FC is known to be feisty and will not mince words when she’s in her fighting stance. This issue is quite touchy and FC will throw a fit if asked about her and PP. Her defense mechanism will always stop further queries.
There are no secrets that time does not reveal. - Jean Racine
