Maine Mendoza on fulfilled fantasy: Nobody thought it was possible
MANILA, Philippines — Maine Mendoza achieved another career milestone, and she's not ashamed to gush over it.
On Sunday, the 20-year-old "Eat Bulaga" mainstay turned sentimental on Instagram as she shared that she has fulfilled one of her childhood fantasies: having a billboard on EDSA.
The post comes with a photo of a billboard of her and "kalye serye" love team Alden Richards for one of the brands they are endorsing.
Maine admits asking her driver to stop along EDSA in front of her billboard so she could take a photo of it.
"I still remember saying 'Sana talaga magkaron din ako ng billboard ko someday!' as a kid. Passing by tons of billboards along the expressway, I used to rest my head on the car window while gaping at those gracefully photographed celebrities/models," she said.
Maine added: "I was dreaming to see myself on one of those advertisements one day; but back then, I knew that it will NEVER EVER come to reality. (Papa'no naman kasi 'di ba?) Until all of these happened..n nobody knew that my 'fantasies' would come true. Nobody thought it was possible."
"I couldn't help but ask my driver to stop in front of this Coca-Cola billboard (along EDSA) so I could take a photo of it, but before that, I took a couple of seconds to just stare at it.. then I found myself whispering... 'Eto na...'eto na s'ya," she concluded.
The EDSA billboard is just one of the recent showbiz milestones of Maine, who shot to fame thanks to "Eat Bulaga's" segment and her onscreen partnership with Alden. Apart from her numerous endorsements, she is set to appear in "My Bebe Love," an entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.
Maine recently opened up about having self-esteem issues prior to entering showbiz.
"I used to be a girl with a poor self esteem—I actually think I still am. I never believed in my capability of doing things; it could be just me being a pessimist about almost everything but the thing is, I never really believed in myself," she said in an earlier Instagram post.
