Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza land another feature on Singapore’s broadsheet The Straits Times today, November 1.
 
The newspaper explained how the Kalye-serye love team has a huge mass appeal.
 
It claimed, “Experts say AlDub has been a huge success because it resonates with Filipinos pining for a return to old-fashioned values as a counter-balance to the crass culture that has become pervasive online.”
 
“Beyond the story line, the two lead stars appeal to millions because they come off as believable bearers of the values their show represents, unlike many other celebrities, who are regarded as caricatures of excess and superficiality,” it added.
