Maine Mendoza Talks About The Real Score Between Her And Alden Richards At This Point

MAINE MENDOZA quickly confessed at the grand presscon of “My Bebe Love #Kilig Pa More” that she’s so nervous as it’s the first time for her to attend such a big event. “Talagang kinakabahan po ako at hindi ako sanay humarap sa ganito karaming tao,” she says.

But she was eventually able to answer all the questions thrown her away with much confidence. “Nawala ang kaba ko kasi kasama ko rito si Alden at sina Bossing Vic at Tita Ai Ai,” she adds. “I’m really so happy na silang mga kasama ko dahil alam nilang first movie ko itong ‘My Bebe Love’ at tinulungan nila ako nang husto.”

So how different is this from the Kalyeserye they do in “Eat Bulaga”? “Ibang-iba po ang story at pati characters namin ni Alden dito, iba rin sa Kalyeserye. Anak po ako ni Bossing dito at pamangkin naman ni Ate Ai si Alden. E, magkaaway sina Bossing at Ate Ai kaya sobrang naapektuhan kami ni Alden. Noong una, intimidated nga ako kay Bossing kasi I know how big a star he is, but he’s so nice and kind kaya naging komportable agad ako sa kanya. Sa kabuuan, feel good movie po ito na punong-puno ng good vibes. Bagay sa Christmas kasi lalabas kayo sa sinehan nang nakatawa.”

People mob her wherever she goes. Is she aware of how popular she is now? “Honestly, hindi pa rin po ako makapaniwala sa lahat ng nangyayari ngayon. Hindi pa nagsi-sink in sa’kin at hindi ko rin naman siya nilalagay sa isip ko. What happened sa AlDub, no one expected. Last July lang po yun and now, ang dami na naming endorsements, may movie pa kami. Napakabilis ng lahat. Sobrang surreal ang mga nangyayari. But I’m just so thankful to God for all the blessings na ibinibigay niya sa amin ni Alden.”

So she’s not a swellhead who snubs fans, like what some writers loyal to another network insinuate? “Ay hindi po totoo. Ayokong mangyari sa’kin yun, ang lumaki ang ulo.”
At this point, how close is she and Alden? “Sa ngayon po, good friends kami. We’re still getting to know each other.”

Is it possible for them to fall in love with each other even off cam? “Wala naman pong imposible, so tingnan na lang po natin. Huwag na lang pangunahan. Basta nagpapasalamat ako kay Alden kasi siya ang nakasama ko sa journey kong ito at tinanggap kami ng tao.”
