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."

By Accident Love Team

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.

Let The Ashley Madison Incident Be A Warning

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.
