In the early morning, four hours before its noontime broadcast, tweets had already come in at an impressive figure of 2 millions with the hashtag of #ALDUBMostAwaitedDate. The hashtag stood for the first date of Maine Garcia and Alden Richards of GMA 7, one of the biggest tv networks in the Philippines.

The network had been featuring the "Aldub" love team, with Maine and Alden, as part of the noontime show "Eat Bulaga."

Pep.ph noted that the phenomenal tandem was not planned at all, and it was all an accident. 

"It was born from the moment that the staff found out that in real life, Yaya Dub (Maine Garcia) had a crush on Alden Richards. No one knew that."

It all started when Alden, while watching the "Kalye-Serye" of “Juan For All/ All for One” of Eat Bulaga, waved to Maine, and the latter responded with a conservative wave to say hello.

Maine and Alden had not personally seen each other before and been appearing only on split-screen tv monitor from two different remote locations. However, the two were permitted for the first time on a date by Maine's grandmother, Lola Nidora, who had been opposed to their possible love relationship ever since. This explained why the Aldub fans felt happy yesterday.

Created Via Photoshop

Ashley Madison website became the recent target of hackers.

The site represents social networking that caters to those married or already in committed relationships. Ashley Madison is so popular among adult sites. It has been receiving millions of visitors per month. Members of the site disclosed their personal details as part of account creations.

In mid-July this year, hackers who call themselves as part of “The Impact Team” hacked the site. They made users' information available to the public for downloading. At first, only names were made available, but other users' details such as locations and credit card information soon became accessible to the public just after a week.

“The Impact Team” resorted to such hacking believing that the site should be closed. Many users found themselves possible victims of public shame and wanted their accounts deleted and be out of the site. But one of Ashley Madison's policies restrict them from doing so. Members are asked to pay a certain amount for account deletion.

As a whole, incident like this one should be a warning to us. Whatever we upload online will stay online forever. So, we need to note what we share to the cyber world. It is sometimes advisable to test things out by giving fictitious details.

Latest developments on Pinoy Big Brother 737 reality Tv show here in the Philippines featured large concert dubbed as "BIG-ATING concert" on July 25, 2015.

Remaining eight housemates were divided into two groups for the singing contest. The first one called themselves as "Dream Team" -- consisting of Ylona, Franco, Bailey, and Kyle. Another team made themselves known as "Pinoy Big Brother And Sister" -- consisting of Kenzo, Kamille, Jimboy, and Zonia.

Ylona and Jimboy represented their respective team as leaders.

Big brother asked the two teams to come up with seven performances: three shows from each team, and one act from the entire eight housemates as one group.

"Dream Team" came up with three presentations. The first one featured the song "One Last Time" of Ariana Grande, with Ylona as the lead singer. The group hit its second one by singing the famous song "I Want To Grow Old With You." Lastly, the team presented its own composition of "Always," a song about constantly moving on with chin ups regardless of many insults one person gets.

"Pinoy Big Brother And Sister" team led off its turn with a happy, danceable song, "I Want You To Know," by Zedd. Kamille showcased her talent as lead vocalist for the song. The team made its presence known with the second song "Waves." For its third song, the group performed its original composition of "Mang Berto," with Jimboy using his rapping talent while Zonia and Kamille acting out the gist of the song.

In the finale, the two teams combined together to form one group and performed the original song composed by Ylona and given melody by Kenzo, "Win The Fight."

The "Dream Team" headed by Ylona won the battle and earned immunity from the next nomination process.

PBB 737, also known as Pinoy Big Brother 737 in the Philippines, has once again ended the TV reality show Saturday episode, 11 July 2015, with four chosen housemates as part of third nomination night.

Pinoy Big Brother 737 Nominated Housemates For Eviction

The Pinoy Big Brother nominated housemates included Ylona, Kamille, Zonia, and Ryan.

Bailey got his immunity from the nomination because of high points he got out of the Lig-Task in which the winner with the highest score was determined by the biggest amount of money-like foam one successfully inserted into a hole of piggy bank.

Pinoy Big Brother 737 Face-To-Face Nominations

The 3rd Pinoy Big Brother nomination night this week seemed to be different from the previous episodes during this season. In the past, elections were made individually or with one partner. They had got to nominate who, they felt, should be evicted. This time, it was settled in person with all housemates. The housemates chose those who, they thought, should be worthy of continuing to stay inside the house by giving one or two points, respectively.

Who do you think from among the four housemates will get evicted?

Weekend had come again, and weekend would mean another week of nomination for all the remaining eight housemates of Pinoy Big Brother 737, also known as PBB 737, a popular TV reality show, being aired on Abs-Cbn, the largest tv network in the Philippines.

Good luck did not fall upon to three housemates. This week seemed to be not a very favourable one for Kenzo Gutierrez. He was nominated for the first time since his stay in the house. He was accompanied by two of rather familiar names in the list of  nominees -- Kamille Filoteo and Ylona Garcia. The two was nominated in previous weeks.

Good luck seemed to be in favor of Bailey May, who had been nominated two times in the past. Jimboy, Zonia, and Franco used their power to save Bailey. After winning the weekly task, the three were given the power to choose someone from among the nominated housemates to be spared from the election.

As well, Kyle Secades was saved from nomination after he and his teammate, Jimboy Martin, came out on top of Lig-Task last Saturday.

All devoted fans of three nominees are now eager in sending votes by text messaging to save their favorite housemates from fourth eviction happening next week.

Three Girl Housemates Lead PBB 737

Big Brother third nomination night or PBB 737 (Pinoy Big Brother 737) in the Philippines, being aired on ABS-CBN, the largest TV networks in the Philippines, was dealt with; and a day of new tasks began. Housemates got divided into three groups for special tasks and accomplished them towards the end of the day.

Big brother called on three PBB 737 housemates to the confession room -- Kamille, Ylona, and Zonia. Each of them was asked to choose two other housemates to be a part of her team.

According to the master of the house, the first one to create her team should be determined by a hand game called Bato-Bato Pick, one of Pinoy games played by youngsters in the Philippines. With it, the three girls could all together demonstrate shapes of rock, scissors, and paper with a hand or fingers. Rules were that rock destroys scissors; scissors cut paper, and paper covers rock. One got to show rock by a simple fist. Two fingers forming a V shape suggested scissors. Flat hand indicated paper. In the case, however, of two or three girls forming the same shapes by chance, they were asked to redo the game to determine the winner between or among them.

The girls had different reasons behind their selections. For the first round, Zonia won and thus got the prime chance of selecting a member for her team. She chose Franco as she believed that he got all the talents it would take for her team to win. Next to pick was Ylona, and she chose Ryan. She found him to be always positive, hard working, and with potential. Kamille, however, was the last one to select and chose Kenzo.

For the second round, Kamille got to choose first by having Kyle as part of her team. She expressed happiness in completing her desired members -- the matured ones among the housemates. At her turn, Zonia chose Jimboy for she found him kind and good at strategies. Lastly, Ylona got to complete her team by having the remaining house mate, Bailey.

Big brother informed the teams that in the days to come, they were to play various Filipino games; and as a reward, the members of the winning team would be freed from a nomination process at the end of the week.

The three leaders expressed positive comments about their groups. Kamille team strongly believed that it had the advantage over other teams as its members were composed of aged ones with more experiences in life. Zonia team expressed satisfaction as her team was a combination of junior and senior housemates. Ylona team felt underrated, but too decided to prove that the younger ones could outstrip the older ones.

After the pressures brought about by the third nomination night, the housemates conquered another day of forming three teams to play against each other as part of the challenges to happen in the coming days.
