#ALDUBAgainstALLODDS as a part of Media




At first I was really disappointed when Fox Filipino has been removed from our cable and replaced by Jeepney Tv on the 14th day of August (probably). The program is from ABS-CBN because we are using Destiny Cable. Sky Cable already own Destiny Cable. Since, Sky Cable has partnership with ABS-CBN, cases like this is expected. It’s like I everything change when the day this happened, everything is not normal, I feel uncomfortable. I tried to survive the new nature.


Until one day, I heard about ALDub, I actually didn’t hear about it for the first time because I always see it whenever my family is watching GMA noontime show which is Eat Bulaga. I saw Wally disguised as an old woman with this dubsmash caregiver, she was named as Yaya Dub. She was the girl who went viral with her video doing some dubsmashes. She became popular as the story continues to expand with more characters. She develop a love story with Alden, they became famous because of their split screen love story. Many people admired them until (probably) GMA dominated the afternoon rating.

Some adore them and also expect for bashers. But some people hate them not because of they are in GMA, but because they got most of the attention than the problems of the world who need it more.

What I can say is, ALDub in Kalyeserye is not that bad because they’re teaching good moral values and they are emphasizing the meaning of “Right Time”. But it doesn’t mean I don’t agree with the points of some people who are not fan of it.

This morning we had a seminar that involves media. Media is powerful and influential but accompanying these great attributes is also a great danger. People can spread the news, actuate people, host an organization or a group and gather people to be part of it. However, it seems like this power is not being used in a good way.


World’s generation today has been gifted with such things. With no proper use of these possessions, it will endanger the moral values of humanity. It is not media’s fault, it’s our fault. We must understand these facts and change them for good.
