Sports has been gaining media attention and
reaching pinnacle heights in “sensationalization” and now, even the social
media with the creation of Twitter. That’s why games like football of the Americans
and football of the Europeans had been registering Twitter record-breaking
feats, too, not to mention the actual sports achievements.
We can all commit to memory Super Bowl XLIX
episode in the US with 25.1 million tweets and the World Cup 2014 Finals
between Germany and Brazil with 35.6 million tweets. The latter one was more
intense since it was a shameful loss of host country Brazil to powerful Germany,
scoring 7 to nil.
Now, Twitter has once again broken with
another record but coming from a different arena of sports – the sports of
entertainment.
Saturday, October 24, streets were filled
with silence and homes were filled with titillating cheers. It was almost like
a Pacman fight! But the cheers were almost like “kilig” or filled with love
instead of support or encouragement. Instead of “Go Pacman go!” or “Manny
laban! Suntok pa! ‘Yun!” it was more “Ang ganda-ganda ni Maine!”, “Pogi mo
Alden”, “AlDub you!”, and “AlDub! AlDub! AlDub!” endlessly. Even some stores
were closed or turned the T.V. on for public viewing.
And still just like a Pacquiao’s super bout,
the true “battle” is in the arena – the Philippine Arena this time, that is. A
battalion of “AlDub Nation”, fans club of Alden and Yaya Dub, stormed to the 55,000-seater
Philippine Arena and filled it up up to the brim.
The complete cast of Eat Bulaga’s Kalye Serye
starred the “Tamang Panahon” charity concert for the benefit of
library-constructing project in several schools from Luzon to Visayas to
Mindanao. The sold-out benefit concert raised as much as 14 million pesos. This
is the Eat Bulaga’s way of giving-back to their fans who had been following
them ever since the show started in the 1970s.
The terrific trio lola’s of Yaya Dub, Lola
Nidora (Wally Bayola), Tinidora (Jose Manalo) and Tidora (Paolo Ballesteros)
brought laughter with their comical acts and the adorable couple apo’s Alden
Richards and Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza – the on-screen love-team known as AlDub
– brought the house down with hoity-toity production.
At the start, Pinoy Henyo Master Joey De
Leon, encouraged the audiences in and out of the “arena” to once again enlist a
new record-breaking Twitter record. So by the end of the show, De Leon’s
“Twitter Report” affirmed his encouragement – they made as much as 39 million
tweets in 24 hours.
According to reports, #ALDubEBTamangPanahon
exceeded #ALDubEBforLOVE. Hashtag AlDubEBforLOVE registered more than 36
million tweets, a reference to the longest-running noontime show’s 36 years on
air. AlDub Nation’s “official statisticians” (Twitter users @ineffable and
@pagkalagaan) reported that #ALDubEBTamangPanahon listed a total of 39,522,300
tweets by 12 am Sunday, with 1,646,763 average tweets per hour.
The sport of entertainment would continuously
give the audience happiness to relieve the sadness of life and hope that there
is still good I everyone’s hearts. “AlDub you!”
