Maine Mendoza shows acting range with Lola Nidora ‘Kalyeserye’ backstory

#ALDUBPangalawangPagsubok In less than a year, Maine Mendoza went from being a YouTube Dubsmash sensation to becoming one half of the phenomenal AlDub love team with Alden Richards in the “Kalyeserye” segment of the long-running noontime show, “Eat Bulaga.”


The 20-year-old Bulacan native went on to star in the Metro Manila Film Festival’s top-grossing film, “My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore”, where she subsequently won the festival’s Best Supporting Actress award.

Along the way, Maine was also honored with numerous accolades, and has been featured on the cover of several magazines and been tapped by just about every major consumer brand to endorse their products.

Recently, she was also approached by no less than the iconic children’s entertainment giant, Disney, to portray Elsa of “Frozen” for its 2016 limited edition calendar.


Maine also counts as one of her biggest fans no less than Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach who was thrilled to finally meet her at the recent wedding of Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna at St. James The Great Parish in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

Looking back, Maine still could not believe how far she has come in such a short time.

“Never kong inakala na makararating ako sa lugar na ‘to. I am doing what I really want to do and I am very thankful because of that,” Maine admitted during a recent promotional push for her recent endorsement deal for CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino.
