IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE "BEBE" (ALDUB You ALL)

LOVE  ISN'T SOMETHING YOU FIND, LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT FINDS YOU

Apart from the million of people who are taking part on the most talked about ALDUB Phenomenon, a lot of people also are seeing it as a nonsense and stupid waste of time segment of the 36-year old noontime show Eat Bulaga. Most of these non-Aldubnatics actually find it so frivolous and valueless and thus considered the Kalyeserye as a contributing factor why most of the members of our society remain unproductive and lazy. That because most Pinoys usually value more of the telenovela, love teams, kalyeserye, and other "ka-cheapan" and "kababawan" shows, our nation and its people stay in the middle of the road  unmindful of which path to take that will lead to a progressive life. That most Filipinos will dwell into "kabakyaan" instead of striving hard to contribute more to the Philippine economy.  Correct me if I'm wrong or find me delusional, there are only a few people that would want the Philippines a worse place to live in. Consider me a very optimistic and delusional Pinoy because, I am sure that there are a lot more Filipinos who still want to make our country a better nation. There is something that is intangible and invisible in Eat Bulaga's Aldub. And what is so intangible that can give such a massive impact in anyone's life?  YES, IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE "BEBE." Aldub's Kalyeserye enthralls many. It actually bridges the generation gap among Filipinos. It bounces within the realms of patience, commitment, obedience, respect, determination, affection, kindness and admiration. LOVE may really disguise into different forms such as kalyeserye and comedy. Let us savor its comedic and moral impacts.  Scripted or not,  the message has directly reached its target. Aldub has what everyJUAN loves. It gives the viewers the sense of HOPE that at the end of the day LOVE will always prevail. Some people may call it whatever they want. Many call the Aldub fever a form of escapism...the tendency to seek relief and distraction from unpleasant realities of life. But these unpleasant realities in our Philippine society compelled us to look for what our country cannot offer its people. While our government still does not know how to manage a lot of  issues nowadays which include corruption, crime, impunity, poverty, unemployment  and violence; let us leave those giddy sensation and reactions to all ALDUBERS. Anyway, the show has brought happiness to many. It is actually a Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella- inspired story. The story is inspired between "once upon  a time" and "happily ever after" kind of plot  that showcases what LOVE and HAPPINESS can do to everybody. That sometime we almost thought that CHIVALRY IS DEAD, but actually it just fell asleep and now it is being awakened because of this extraordinary occurrence. Eventually the ecstasy that was brought by the accidental love team stirred the action to revisit our old custom and traditions, adding more nods to the viewers as true-blooded Pinoys.  Maybe, that is what our country is lacking right now to unite its people. The moral values we Pinoys are known for far way before. The euphoria that was shown by the young love also helps people washed away the numbness brought by  skepticism and deep uncertainty caused by the Philippine politics. That amidst all these uncertainties most are still longing for a Better Philippines being run by great Filipinos with great love for our country and its people.  I just hope that all JUANS and JUANAS will try to translate into actions whatever lessons they learned from EB's kalyeserye. That though we may get inspiration from what we read or watch, ACTION is still required to reach anyJUAN's dream.  Let us all be part of the kalyeserye by not just merely an spectator. Let us all be part of this phenomenal kalyeserye by bringing love to everyJuan in all kalyes in the Philippines. Who knows, the HAPPINESS, HOPE, and especially LOVE that are being instilled to us by the Aldub's kalyeserye will flourish into something powerful that will transform all of us as dutiful and loving citizens of the Philippines. Well, just what Lola Nidora often says, there is always the TAMANG PANAHON (right time).   Just do not let escapism be the outcome of all your kilig moments but turn all those "kilig" reactions as motivation to spread love, kindness, and happiness to all. As the saying goes, BE HAPPY NOT BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOOD BUT BECAUSE YOU SEE THE GOOD SIDE OF EVERYTHING (Unknown). Why don't we try having those more than 20 million tweets with hashtags about LOVE and good vibes be imbibed by many especially the people of our government?  Anyway, the world is still filled with nice and loving people, and if you can't find one just be one.
