Last September 16, 2015 (Wednesday), actor-comedian Arnell Ignacio posted on his Facebook account about his critical insight on why the experimental love team #ALDUB from the noontime show “Eat Bulaga’s” segment “Kalyeserye” is a reflection of our deeply engraved traditional Filipino roots, and cultural values. A lot of ALDUB fans and followers have shared and tweeted the said post of Arnell, appreciating his honest insight for the said love team.
Here is the post of Arnell:
To cite the characters mentioned by Arnell, here is a breakdown on what he pertains to the representations in the said commentary.
Lola Nidora as the strict mother while her sisters, Tinidora and Tidora as the extension of the family.
TVJ or Tito, Vic and Joey as the respected seniors in the community.
Alden Richards, the epitome of a traditional gentleman, opts to use the old-fashioned way of courting and faces all the hardships for getting the approval of his love without complaining.
Yaya Dub represents a lady of innocence and purity.
In Arnell’s 2-cents, why the phenomenal segment has been a hit is because of our constant search of “how we used to be” as Filipinos from this modern age that has lost its conservative values and traditional ways for love and relationships.
