We beg to differ.
Who does not love the word: serendipity (Kate Natividad’s Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza rock!)? It sounds like our Tagalog word: ‘suwerte’. Who wouldn’t want luck coming one’s way?

As of late people have been pestering me about AlDub despite the fact that I already explained, repeatedly even, that I did not choose the picture for my article about Philippine media and that the article itself has little to do with everyone’s favorite noon-time couple.
