MANILA, Philippines — The AlDub (Alden Richards, Yaya Dub) tandem has been a big hit this year, which is why it is not surprising to see a video of them included on YouTube's local version of top trending video list.
With more than 5 million views, the list released on Thursday, December 10, placed the video of their first "kilig moment" at the ninth spot.
As many fans would know, the pairing of the social media phenomenon started when they reacted to each other spontaneously on live TV. Since then, the duo continued to smash Twitter records and gain international attention.
Aside from the "kilig video," Maine Mendoza's dubsmash compilation landed on eighth spot.
