For more than 3 years, AlDub (loveteam of Kapuso stars Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, also known as ‘Yaya Dub’) held the title of “Most Used Hashtag on Twitter in 24 hours.”
The Guinness World Record recognized the #AlDubEBTamangPanahon of AlDub’s benefit concert for recording 40,706,392 uses in just 24 hours. Tamang Panahon was a segment of Eat Bulaga’s Kalyeserye where the leads, Alden and Maine, or “Yaya Dub,” were able to see each other without any restrictions form the lolas (grandmothers) of Maine. The concert was held at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, on October 24, 2015.
It can be recalled that back in 2018, BTS Fandom have tried to snatch the title from AlDub, but they weren’t able to defeat the record of AlDub.
But compared to AlDub Nation, the population of K-Pop fans is tremendous, and that explains why, this time, they were able to bag the title of the “Most Used Hastag on Twitter in 24 hours.”
On April 18, Guinness tweeted,“New record: Most used hashtag on @Twitter in 24 hours K-Pop fans helped contribute to a new record, tweeting #TwitterBestFandom an incredible 60,055,339 times in 24 hours, voting for the @soompi Awards”

Despite the record loss, AlDub Nation is still thankful for being part of the success of AlDub and that AlDub will never be forgotten.
One netizen commented, “Also, libraries were built because of it. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. However, all the memories shall remain.”
According to @existinghiraeth: “Kahit hindi na tayo ang may hawak ng record, still, mananatili kayo sa puso ko AlDub at AlDub Nation. Kayo ang maituturing kong pinaka-‘Magical’ na nangyari sa buhay ko.”
One fan also commented, “A bit sad at the record loss but #AlDubEBTamang Panahon will always be a source of pride for my Philippines and AlDub heart. We have amazingly beautiful memories, I will forever keep you in my heart.”
As for @shooktfangirl: “Pero, grabe ha, pinagsama-samang K-pop fandoms ‘yun, eh, jusmiyo kalaki non! Ta’s tayo isang local fandom lang (pero malupet). I’M SO PROUD PA RIN.”
