Maine Mendoza more 'popular' than alter ego Yaya Dub
MANILA, Philippines — Have you ever wondered who between Maine Mendoza and her onscreen character Yaya Dub is more popular?
While Yaya Dub's endearing, perky character has captured the hearts of many, Maine Mendoza's ingenuity and humility have made them even love the real girl more.
Maine Mendoza is being searched online more than the role she is portraying, says Google Philippines, which recently posted on Twitter a graph, comparing the Google popularity of the two personalities.
