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.
