The AlDub phenomenon just keeps getting bigger that even international singers have taken notice of Eat Bulaga, the Philippines’ longest-running noontime show where the sensational AlDub love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza a.k.a. Yaya Dub was borne.
Last September, American country singer Bryan White, whose song ‘God Gave Me You’ has been playing nearly everyday on Eat Bulaga’s Kalye-serye (an on-going segment in the program featuring the split-screen romance of Richards and Mendoza) as one of theme songs of AlDub, announced that he will be staging a concert in Manila this December, following the current popularity of his 16-year old single.
“See you soon! @aldenrichards02 @mainedcm @ConcertRepublic @EatBulaga #GGMY #ALDUBThisMustBeLove,” he posted on Twitter.
Prior to his announcement, White uploaded a video message on Facebook thanking his Filipino supporters, “I can't believe how a song travels and where it's gonna end up and what's gonna happen with it…. So, we will definitely see you soon... Thank you so much. I'm so glad God gave me you,” he said.
Just recently, another international artist, American singer and rapper Dawin, took to the micro-blogging site to express his gratitude for the millions of AlDub fans collectively known as AlDub Nation, and Eat Bulaga. His 2015 single, Dessert, has also been heard regularly on the Kalye-serye as Lola Nidora’s (the character played by comedian Wally Bayola) theme song.
“Aldub Nation I would love to watch @EatBulaga I'm glad you like my song Dessert. #ALDUBMissingYou,” he posted on October 12.
From breaking records on TV ratings and social media to gaining praise from viewers and personalities from all walks of life, there’s really no stopping AlDub and the Kalye-serye from reaping success left and right.
