Eat Bulaga!

Kalyeserye is a 2015 short soap opera parody aired live within the "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment of Philippine daytime variety show Eat Bulaga! on GMA Network in the Philippines and worldwide on GMA Pinoy TV. The mini-show, as it has evolved, focuses on AlDub the fictional couple pairing, or love team as it more commonly known in the Philippines, of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza's character Yaya Dub where the two communicate through Dubsmash and written messages and interact only on the show's split-screen frame. Alden is located in the Broadway Centrum studio of Eat Bulaga! in Quezon City while Maine is on a remote location.

The 40 minute to 1 hour portion features live improvisation from the AlDub tandem, Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo and Paolo Ballesteros who all play various roles while other hosts of Eat Bulaga! in the studio occasionally comment and interact with the characters. Kalyeserye has elements of comedy-drama, parody, romantic comedy and reality television. According to Anna Leah Sarabia, a Filipino anthropologist, the segment uses fairy tale and soap opera tropes. The term Kalyeserye derives from Tagalog words which translates to "street series" in English. It was coined by Joey de Leon, one of the hosts of Eat Bulaga!, to refer to the usual remote setting of the segment. The location outside the studio is usually shot out on the streets of Metro Manila or in the provinces of the Philippines.

The portion proved to be a success in both broadcast television and social media, resulting in a significant increase of viewership and popularity of Eat Bulaga! on its 36th year in Philippine entertainment.[1] In addition, it has also contributed to the careers of Richards and Mendoza.

Background

Prior to the phenomenon

In 2015, Alden Richards, who had finished filming the miniseries Ilustrado (2014), was invited to join Eat Bulaga! as a host for a month-long trial period, hosting various segments such as the "That's My Bae" with Indian-Filipino radio disc jockey Sam Y.G..[2] A month later, Maine Mendoza, who had initially gained popularity for posting Dubsmash videos in various social media platforms, auditioned for the program after catching the attention of its producers.[3] Mendoza had eventually joined the cast in July 2015.[3] She recalled that she was originally cast as a lawyer for Eat Bulaga!'s "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment but was ultimately cast as Yaya Dub (Divina Ursula Bukbukova Smash), a nanny for comedian Wally Bayola's Lola Nidora character.[3] Utilizing her Dubsmash popularity, Mendoza only communicates in the series through vocal dubbing and does not actually speak. She was initially portrayed as the snobbish Yaya Dub.[3]

Day one onwards

On the show's July 16, 2015 episode,[4] Yaya Dub broke character when she smiled upon seeing Richards on the show's live split screen, prompting Eat Bulaga's producers to make an onscreen couple of the two.[3][4] Mike Tuviera, a resident director for the show, revealed that the tandem was made by accident.[5] The name "AlDub" was conceived as a portmanteau of the tandem's names, Alden and Yaya Dub.[6] And despite being featured in the show, the couple have yet to meet personally for the first time, only interacting through the show's split screen frame and conversing in dubbed audio samples of popular songs and lines from popular films and TV series as well as through handwritten messages on screen.[7]

Due to the audiences' positive reception to the AlDub pairing, Eat Bulaga!'s producers decided to make a 30-minute segment portion in its "Juan For All, All for Juan" segment for the tandem to replace the "Problem Solving" portion.[8] Pegged as a "Kalyeserye" (Filipino for "street series"), it was described as a dramedy series with elements of parody of Philippine television dramas, romantic comedy and reality TV performed by improv acting, which was broadcast live from a street in the different barangays featured daily in the "Juan for All, All for Juan" set.[8] Poochie Rivera, one of the program's directors, described it as "natural and unscripted", saying that "Nothing is rehearsed. We are trying to maintain the spontaneity because that is a big part of its charm.".[8] Starring the AlDub love team, the Kalyeserye also features Jose Manalo (various characters), Wally Bayola (as Lola Nidora and his various characters), Paolo Ballesteros (various characters) and other casts and characters.[8]

AlDub

Main article: AlDub

The mini-show tandem's name is derived from a portmanteau of the tandem's character names, namely Filipino actor Alden Richards, who portrays a fictionalized version of himself, and Yaya Dub (in-universe real name Divina Ursula Bukbukova Smash, a playful reverse-acronym of Dubsmash), portrayed by Filipina voice-dubbing actress, physical comedienne and online internet sensation Maine Mendoza. Both joining the program's cast in 2015, Richards first appeared as a host of Eat Bulaga!'s various segments, such as the "That's My Bae" portion; while Mendoza appears as Yaya Dub in the show "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment. Exclusively interacting through the show's split screen frame, the AlDub couple have yet to meet personally for the first time, only communicating through dubbing audio samples of popular songs, films and TV series as well as handwritten messages on screen.

Some of the running gags and story lines throughout the parody include the "Pabebe Wave" (a deviation of a beauty queen wave gesture) between Alden and Yaya Dub,[2][6] Lola Nidora lobbying for a pairing between Yaya Dub and Frankie (using the portmanteau "YaKie"),[9] Lola Nidora issuing labor challenges to Alden,[10] and the incompetency of the numerous Rogelios, Lola Nidora's bodyguards.[11] The Kalyeserye's main storyline is the Cinderella-like forbidden courtship between the AlDub tandem, with its paramount goal being the first physical meeting between the two, a move continually opposed by Lola Nidora.[6][8][12]

The AlDub couple's near-encounters on live television also became pivotal throughout the series. In the show's August 8, 2015 episode, which featured a wedding between the "YaKie" tandem, Mendoza collapsed while performing on live television and was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, resulting in an improvisation by the segment's remaining characters, including Alden himself.[13][14] She later revealed that she experienced a fatigue hours prior to filming.[15] In its August 12, 2015 episode, Yaya Dub appeared at the Broadway Centrum's TAPE Eastside Studio for her Cinderella-like performance on Eat Bulaga!'s "Bulaga Pa More!" segment. The episode marked as the closest rendezvous between the two, only to be interrupted by Lola Nidora as a witch at the last minute.[12][16]

Legit meet-ups of AlDub

On September 5, 2015, Richards and Mendoza finally saw each other for the first time at the Broadway Centrum after her performance in the Bulaga Pa More! Dabarkads edition Wildcard round. However, (as main protagonists of the Kalyeserye storyline) as Alden and Yaya Dub are about to get closer, Lola Nidora (Bayola) blocked their paths by dropping a wall between them. She then harshly reprimanded the two romantic leads for being untrue to their promise to abide by one of her critical requirements—that Yaya Dub can only perform in the Wildcard round if she and Alden agree not to meet. As she proceeded to deliver a litany about the value of one's word and the essence of trust, two unknown men wearing face masks (balaclavas) kidnapped Yaya Dub from Broadway and whisk her away in a van. Nidora implores Alden's help and had the wall raised so he can pursue Yaya Dub's kidnappers but it was too late.

On September 10, 2015, Alden is kidnapped too. Two days later (September 12,), he and Mendoza saw each other for the second time, after ordered the kidnappers by DuhRizz (Bayola), who is the responsible for their abduction, to bring both of them in the parking lot of Broadway Centrum. Duhrizz then proceeds to make Alden and Yaya Dub closer by bumping each other while both of them being blindfolded and she even gives her drink to Alden and Yaya Dub, but she cuts their happy moments short. After she orders her men to take Alden away by DuhRizz, Tinidora (Manalo) and Tidora (Ballesteros) come to rescue Yaya Dub, confront their grandniece DuhRizz and convince her to forgive Yaya Dub for her mistakes she made to her and then DuhRizz walks away. Afterwards, Tinidora and Tidora receive a call about Nidora's health condition.

On September 19, 2015, both Richards and Mendoza saw each other again after they successfully passed the matching game. However (as main protagonists of the Kalyeserye storyline), Lola Nidora told both Yaya Dub and Alden before not to get closer in their first date as a condition, in which they agreed. They are seated in a long table for their date, with a standee of Lola Nidora at the center, which prevented them from getting close to each other. In the middle of the date, however, Yaya Dub heard an alarm clock, which signals the time for Lola Nidora to drink her medicine. Deeming her responsibility to her guardian as important, Yaya Dub quickly leaves Alden in order to get back to Nidora until suddenly Maine's character gets involved in a car accident in which she later survived.

On September 26, 2015, both Richards and Mendoza finally meet up-close and personal for the first time on their second date. In the days leading to the second date, Lola Nidora's usual disapproval of the pair seemed to have ceased as she starts to acknowledge Alden and Yaya Dub's connection. As a gift for their 10th weeksary (like a relationship anniversary, only it is celebrated every week) which is Thursday, Lola Nidora's gift for the couple is that she's opening the door of her mansion so that Alden could formally visit Yaya Dub and court her. However, Lola Nidora gave three conditions to Alden in which he had to comply to so that he can freely visit Yaya Dub in the mansion. The first condition is that Alden and Yaya Dub are allowed to get close to each other (1 ft. distance) but without touching. The second is that Alden must bring "chicharon," a Filipino delicacy, to the mansion as his gift to Lola Nidora and the third is that Alden must sing what is considered the couple's theme song, "God Gave Me You." Alden complied to Lola Nidora's wishes, however, he was able to unintentionally touch Yaya Dub during their lunch date after he passed a glass of water to Yaya Dub when she almost got choked by the cake they were eating. Lola Nidora is yet unaware that the couple accidentally touched.

On October 3, 2015, The De Explorer Sisters and Yaya Dub (Mendoza) had visited the show's studio for the first time just to meet Tito, Vic and Joey personally, each of them have their entrances to the studio, Tidora (Ballesteros) was absent due to lack of commuting vehicles in which he was about to go back home and be present. Nidora was disappointed because the table was just small. Tinidora became good to Yaya Dub and Alden and stopped Nidora from disappointing, But thanks to Tito, Vic and Joey because they serenaded her as their promise, and Nidora was so happy especially when Jimmy takes it on her side. Then Alden came into the stage to give roses to Nidora, Tinidora and Yaya Dub.

They had their third date on that day, and yet when Allan K. was introducing Nidora to the audience, Tinidora compressed Alden and Yaya Dub together especially in drinking coconut and water. Also, they had a duet of Alden's single," Wish I May". and after the date, Nidora announced that they will swap together; Alden will now be on the streets (or barangay) while Yaya Dub (later Dabarkads Maine) will now be on the studio (turning her into one of the co-hosts in the process).

Lola Nidora was reportedly courted by such figures as Adolf Hitler, Charlie Chaplin, Albert Einstein and Saddam Hussein but she repudiated them all. Her name literally means "Grandmother of Dora" in reference of Doktora de Explorer, while her maiden name, Zobeyala, is based after the Zobel de Ayala family, one of richest families in the Philippines. Nidora, Tidora and Tinidora are referred to as de Explorer Triplets/Sisters, which is despite the fact that their surname is Zobeyala and it should be Zobeyala Triplets/Sisters, and Kalye's Angels (also as Calle's Angels) which is a spoof to the television and film franchise Charlie's Angels.

Tinidora later revealed that she had a past relationship with a certain American named "Bill" but she was being tricked by him by making her married to a cactus around 90 years ago.

Overview

Main article: List of Kalyeserye episodes

Doña Nidora and Yaya Dub first appeared as replacements for Doctora Dora de Explorer on July 4, 2015 (Saturday), participating in the Problem Solving portion of the "Juan For All, All For Juan" segment. However, the Kalyeserye could be properly said as starting on July 16, 2015 (Thursday), when Yaya Dub sees Alden for the first time and the AlDub tandem was born.

The show now follows love story of Yaya Dub (Maine Mendoza) and Alden (Alden Richards). Yaya Dub's employer, Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola), is against the love affair (but later approves their love affair). Lola Nidora then reveals her Secret Book which contains the reasons for her disapproval. Alden's aunt, Doña Celia (Celia Rodriguez), the luxurious Frankie Arinoli (Jose Manalo), and DuhRizz (Wally Bayola) appearances made things more complicated. As the story unfold, characters from Lola Nidora and Yaya Dub's past were revealed. Lola Nidora turns out to be triplets (collectively known as "de Explorer Triplets/Sisters" and "Kalye's Angels", despite the fact that their surname is Zobeyala, which should be "Zobeyala Triplets/Sisters") with Tidora (Paolo Ballesteros) and Tinidora (Jose Manalo) while Yaya Dub turns out to be the daughter of their younger sister, Isadora.

Production

Plot devices

The following are used as plot device for the show:

  • Secret Diary of Lola Nidora
A diary of Lola Nidora contains her past relationships with Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein and John F. Kennedy, as well as her family pictures and her sisters' pictures. It also contains the reason why she disapproves of Alden for Yaya Dub. As she was about to open it, the diary was stolen by the riding in tandem and it's currently in the hands of the unknown individual who frequently calls Lola Nidora. Its ransom is P50 million in order to retrieve the diary. Later the mystery caller calls Lola Nidora and informs her that he has raised the ransom money to P100 million. This Secret Diary has never been heard of after the AlDub's abduction saga and Lola Nidora's approval for the relationship of Alden and Yaya Dub.
  • Plywood/Victor Plywood
A plywood wall used by Lola Nidora to prevent Alden and Yaya Dub from meeting after breaking their promise during the end of the Wildcard round of Bulaga Pa More: Dabarkads Pa More. After the episode, the wall received hate from Aldub supporters for preventing the love team from meeting each other. The wall also appeared during the crisis of Yaya Dub's kidnapping with Alden sitting in one corner. The name of the plywood was named after Filipino kundiman singer Victor Wood. This said wall occasionally appears even after AlDub's abduction saga with the writings of Alden and Yaya Dub's messages on it.
  • Scoreboard: Countdown to Tamang Panahon
A whiteboard scoreboard used by Lola Nidora to score Alden in the challenges she gave him. Alden had earned two points for finishing the two tasks: running from Broadway Centrum to the intersection of EDSA and Aurora Boulevard in 20 minutes (in which he finished it in 17 minutes), and getting the chili containers inside the Olympic-sized swimming pool at Amoranto Sports Complex in 5 minutes (in which he finished it under 4 minutes and 52 seconds). However, after Nidora disappoints Alden and Yaya Dub for breaking her critical condition (not to allow Yaya Dub see Alden at the Broadway after their Bulaga Pa More! performances), she decides to destroy it so that they would start all over again.
  • Long Table
A long table (around 3 to 4 meters long) in which Lola Nidora used in the first and most awaited date of Alden and Yaya Dub. It is Lola Nidora's idea to prevent Alden and Yaya Dub from touching each other because it's her condition to agree for the two to have a date. In the side of this long table, Lola Nidora's standee is placed there.
  • Alarm Clock
This is used by Yaya Dub to alarm her when it is the time for Lola Nidora take medicine. During the first date of Yaya Dub and Alden, this alarm clock suddenly rang off and the medicine was with Yaya Dub. Because of her love for Lola Nidora, she left her date.
  • Measuring Tape
During Alden's visit to the mansion of Lola Nidora to court Yaya Dub, Lola Nidora used this measuring tape to make sure that Alden and Yaya Dub are 1 foot apart and the two won't make contact with each other ("No touch!" rule).
  • Portable Ladder
A ladder carried by the Quandos whenever Lola Tinidora arrives. Lola Tinidora climbs the ladder while she and her Quandos are dancing to "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega.

Music

Kalyeserye utilizes a number of songs while Alden and Yaya Dub communicate through split-screen. The most used songs for their lip-synch interaction include "God Gave Me You" by Bryan White, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, "Twerk It Like Miley" by Brandon Beal, and "Fantastic Baby" by BIGBANG. In most KalyeSerye episodes, Lola Nidora called "Thinking Out Loud" as "Dalinay" (from the first line in chorus "And darling I will loving you 'till we're 70...") and "Twerk It Like Miley" as "Twikilay" (from "Start twerk it like Miley") especially when she is mad at Alden. Alden even sang "God Gave Me You" live before going to Lola Nidora's mansion to visit Yaya Dub for their second date. Yaya Dub and Alden frequently dance in celebration to the tune of "Fantatistic Baby". Other songs frequently used are"Laging Tapat" by Jolina Magdangal, "Makita Kang Muli" by Sugarfree, "Isang Tanong Isang Sagot" by Donna Cruz, "Sa 'yo" by Silent Sanctuary, "Kapag Tumibok ang Puso" by Donna Cruz, "Ligaya" by the Eraserheads, "Paalam Na" by Rachel Alejandro, "Dreaming of You" by Selena, "Kunin Mo ang Lahat Sa Akin" by Jeremiah/Angeline Quinto, "Bahala Na" (also known as Naniniwala na Ako sa Forever) by James Reid & Nadine Lustre, and "Worth It" by Fifth Harmony. In one episode, the couple also sang "Wish I May," which is included in Alden's album, with their own voices and was not lip-synch as they usually do.

There are also music played often when either one or all three sisters, Nidora, Tidora, and Tinidora, enter or exit their scene. Towards the end in most of the episodes of Kalyeserye, the three sisters pose a la Charlie's Angels with "Wannabe" by Spice Girls being played in the background. While entering her first scene, Tinidora and her Quandos dance to tune of Lou Bega's version of "Mambo No. 5." The chorus of the song "Dessert" by Dawin is played when Nidora is feeling very happy especially after Alden lost a challenge to win over Yaya.

Cultural impact

The Aldub tandem was described by media pundits as a success in converging both broadcast and social media,[34] as featured in the front page of the Philippine Daily Inquirer for Sunday, August 16, 2015.[8][35]

Eat Bulaga! director Poochie Rivera also theorized that the coupling's successful response from audiences was because of the Filipinos who can relate with their predicament.[8] He remarked "People who have partners who work abroad often communicate and pursue their relationship online, through Skype or FaceTime."[8] Pauleen Luna, a castmember of Eat Bulaga!, commented that AlDub "has brought a different kind of energy to the show."[36] Anna Leah Sarabia, a Filipino anthropologist, cited the "Kalyeserye"'s use of fairy tale and soap opera's tropes helped in tandem's increasing popularity, saying that "It’s a 'Cinderella' story that's fake and true-life at the same time."[8] Filipino television executive Malou Choa-Fagar also cited the unpredictable nature of the Kalyeserye had largely contributed to the AlDub success.[8] In social media site Twitter, hashtags with AlDub became top trending topics in both the Philippine and Worldwide trends.[37] Various outlets also lauded the show's use of old and new media for the AlDub tandem, which also pulsated in raising the value of the Dubsmash app in the Philippines.[35] The popularity of the tandem even reached some schools and became a topic discussed in classrooms; for instance in a University of the Philippines Diliman Filipino class.[38] Several Filipino politicians also referenced the AlDub couple in various interviews: Ralph Recto cited the tandem as a symbolism regarding the Philippine Land Transportation Office license plates,[39] while Mar Roxas also referenced AlDub in his 2016 presidential campaign.[40]

The August 22, 2015 episode earned positive feedback from Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and Radyo Veritas via Twitter for highlighting Filipino love, responsibility and marriage moral standards.[41]

Professor Randy David of the University of the Philippines, in his Philippine Daily Inquirer column Public Lives last August 23, 2015, wrote about the depth and significance of Maine Mendoza's voice/mime characterization of Yaya Dub, challenging us to look deep within our own nature, who we really are when we are not performing: "Indeed, we may as well ask the same question of ourselves: Who are we when we are not performing? I think that if there is anything that Yaya Dub has shown us, it is the stereotypical and “mediatized” nature of our emotions and modes of expression. In that sense, we are performing all the time. What we think are spontaneous feelings that we communicate from the depth of our beings are really nothing but ready-made emoticons that other people have deployed in various other contexts. The shock of that recognition, I am certain, is what sustains the fascination with Yaya Dub. She gets behind all of us, and lip-syncs the standard texts of our private selves—our insecurities, anger, celebratory moments, and frustrations. Beneath the performance is parody of the highest type." [42]

Social media

The segment is also a frequent Twitter trending topic while the abridged versions uploaded in Eat Bulaga!'s Facebook page and highlights on GMA Network's YouTube channel had become viral. From July 27, 2015 to August 26, 2015, 16 out of the 30 Philippine trending topics are from the show's AlDub tandem.[43]

The segment portion is popularized through social media through the hashtags, #KiligPaMore, #AlDub and #Kalyeserye, and daily through different hashtags such as #ALDUBAgainstALLODDS, #AlDubMaiDenHeaven and #AlDubBattleForACause as picked up by their fans.

The "phenomenal love team" of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, breaks another record in social media history as they reach the 3-million mark on Twitter, being considered as the most tweeted topic in Philippine Twitter history. The official hashtag released by various AlDub accounts last August 29, 2015 episode of the Kalyeserye, #AlDubMaiDenHeaven, garnered 3.54 million tweets on Twitter, topping both the nationwide and worldwide trending lists. The hashtag reaches 3 million tweets within 21 hours, before 9:00 P.M. and on the midnight of the next day, August 30, 2015, the tweet even reached a peak of 3.72 million tweets. The said hashtag even surpasses #PapalVisit last January, 2015, that reaches 3,341,021, when Pope Francis visited the Philippines. AlDub also made a history as the first ever Philippine Love Team who attains the 3-million mark. To backtrack on the AlDub’s twitter success, they garnered their first million mark tweets with the hashtag #AlDub last August 21, 2015 then reaching it’s second million mark the next day, August 22, 2015 with the hashtag #ALDUBAgainstALLODDS. As a result of this, Alden and Maine both posted a message expressing their gratitude with this overwhelming success on their respective official Twitter accounts. Then on September 5, 2015, as a result of Richards' and Mendoza's first (legit but spoiled due to a giant wall) meet-up (right after their performances during the wildcard round of "Bulaga Pa More"), the hashtag #ALDUBBATTLEForACause surpassed the five million mark.[44]

Bryan White, the singer who sang God Gave Me You and Barbie Xu of Meteor Garden fame went on Twitter to react on Aldub's phenomenon. Original song compositions such as "Ikaw BaeYaya", "The Aldub Song" and "SoTangHon (Sa Tamang Panahon)" and fan-made arts also went on viral, as inspired by AlDub's love story.

Careers of Richards and Mendoza

The success of the AlDub tandem also contributed to the careers of Richards and Mendoza. The AlDub's success has helped Richards secure a four-year film contract with APT Entertainment, while the Philippine Basketball Association team Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Mahindra Enforcers was also reported to have been considering inviting Mendoza as their muse for the 2015–16 PBA season,but she refused.[46][47] Mendoza and Richards also appeared in separate profile interviews regarding the AlDub's success on the television program Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.[34][48] Tuviera also revealed in an interview about a possibility of making 2015 feature film starring the AlDub couple.[46] Another report also confirmed that Richards and Mendoza will be part of 41st Metro Manila Film Festival entry My Bebe Love starring Vic Sotto, Ai Ai delas Alas and My Faithful Husband star Louise delos Reyes.[49]

In an interview with Startalk, Alden Richards revealed that he did not expect the success of the show/segment and is overwhelmed by the popularity of the AlDub tandem.[50] In other interview, Richards revealed that he is open to the possibility of AlDub to star in a movie or TV show.[51][52][53]

Richards and Mendoza were also appeared on the advertisements for McDonald's Philippines' Chicken Fillet ala King,[54] Talk 'N Text's extend promo,[55] O+ Ultra with Wally Bayola (as Lola Nidora), 555 Sardines and Zonrox Plus Bleach.
