In a massive dose of mid-2010s nostalgia, Maine Mendoza stepped back into her iconic role as “Yaya Dub” alongside Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo, and Paolo Ballesteros as the beloved Lolas—Nidora, Tidora, and Tinidora—during Eat Bulaga!’s 47th anniversary celebration. The unexpected reunion brought back the unscripted magic of Kalyeserye, the phenomenon that captivated millions and redefined Philippine noontime television starting in 2015.
As Eat Bulaga! pulls out all the stops with classic throwbacks, all eyes now turn to rival show It’s Showtime to see how they will respond to this massive ratings-driver. For fans who grew up glued to their screens during the peak of the “AlDub” craze, seeing the core group share the stage again was a heartfelt tribute to a golden chapter in Philippine broadcast history—proving that some television characters simply never lose their charm.
