    1. She was better than the other girl na nag-audition din

      Delete
    2. I totally agree with you anon. Kasi if i am JF and see that girl walang kalatuy latoy ,plus nothing special, i wont chose her. Maybe God moves in mysterious way para sa kanya talaga yan. Goodluck Maine!!!

      Delete
    3. Siguro yung pagiging game nya kasi yun talaga totoong hinahanap ni Ms. JF since makikipag-eksena sya sa Jowapao hehe... She calls it nga dapat yung may "kapal ng mukha" hahaha

      Delete
    4. It was the IT, X and CHARISMA factor that made them choose her. Unexplainable charm even I can't fathom. All the way for Maine!

      Delete
    5. I think JF had already watched maine's youtube videos and already seen the potential in her to be a good comedian.

      Delete
    6. unprepared?? bet you've been aspiring to be a celebrity all along, lol

      Delete
    7. Unprepared kasi kahit gusto nya maging celebrity parang iniisip nya na wala syang k. Mababa kasi ang confidence nya but she tried pa rin..

      Delete
    8. Yes unprepared kasi tinawagan siya para mag audition, hindi siya yun nag audition kasi gusto nya mag artista. Kumatok tlaga sa kanya ang swerte

      Delete
    9. Yes, she was dreaming about it secretly but she didn't have the confidence that she need. Meaning hindi nia na prepare ang sarili nia dahil she was there for fun at least if she didn't make it. It was kind of defense mechanism of someone with low self esteem.

      Delete
    10. Anon 12:54 AM Kahit ako nagtataka, about ba nakita nila sa kanya? She's beautiful but hindi standard leading lady na nakasanayan natin. Tapos pansin ko sa kanya, napaka-unconventional nyang babae. Basta, I find her "weird". Pero anyways, good luck girl!

      Delete
    11. WEIRD?? I THINK THE BEST TERM IS DIFFERENT/UNIQUE. THEY FIND HER DIFFERENT KAYA SYA ANG PINILI.

      Delete
    12. She is Interesting! Way more interesting than other girls her age.

      Delete
    13. PAGING TOTOO AT SINCERE NYA. DI SYA NAG PA IMPRESS PARA MAKUHA SYA SHE JUST SAY WHAT SHE KNOWS.

  7. Congrats Maine, keep it up. Stay grounded. We love you.

    ReplyDelete
  12. A Superstar and an underdog at the same time.
    While others are busy insulting her looks and telling her that she does not have any talent, she did not say anything nor defend herself. She continues to work hard and improve herself. Recently, she released a song of her own composition.
    Now, the sleeping giant inside her is awaken. Bigger things are coming from this woman. Watch out!

  13. Grabe may kakaibang karisma talaga si Maine kahit sa unang kita pa lang at ang fresh ng dating nya super ganda simple at elegante.

    ReplyDelete
  18. She's my inspiration. Because of her, I got inspired to pursue what I really want to do with my life kahit alam kong malabong makamit ko ang pinakamimithi ko. Now, I am seeing a positive outcome. Wala talagang imposible basta tiwala lang kay God at sa sarili. Never say die kumbaga.

  23. God has better plans for you. It was fate. We're glad EB saw the gem in you.

    ReplyDelete
  24. And look at you now for only a year you have gone so far .eat bulaga didn't see it coming but faith makes it way for you and EB. You got the whole generation from young ones to young once. Now everybody is watching you grow into that path you have been dreaming, to discover for hidden talents even you didn't believe in at first. I haven't really follow any celebrity until i see you in that kalyeserye. Joey is right you are an ENIGMA. Happy one year anniversary and more power to you

    2. And how ironic dahil si Meng kaF fan dati tapos sa Kapuso siya sumikat, hehe. Siguro way din 'to ni Lord na sa KaH siya nakilala dahil alam niya saang network mas may magandang hangarin:)))

  33. And at this point in time you already conquered the entertainment industry...marami kang blessings na dinala sa maraming tao...sa network mo, sa mga companies na inendorsed mo, sa mga ordinaryong tao na ang gusto lang ay sumaya at kiligin at higit sa lahat kay A na nabigyan mo ng lovelife...as i remember him sayin' in one of his interviews " hayaan na lang natin na yung lovelife ang humanap sa kanya" and that magical moment happened because of you!...CONGRATS, Maine,,.may you continue to shower us happiness and good vibes and i know God will provide you all the things that you desire because you are such a good person......

  34. I salute maine for being a brave person even though she is an introvert and pessimist..

  35. At marami pa siyang talentong ipapakita. Wait lang tayo na humahanga sa kanya.

  36. You became a success because you gave the word "celebrity" a new meaning. You did not create a barrier. You came to act, perform, entertain all of us non-celebrities. Yet you did it with class. Walang kaartehan.

  37. And here you are,touching n inspiring our lives.you are a really blessing to many people!

  42. Mam JF already chose Maine even before the audition,formality na lng yun. From the dubsmash videos she posted mam JF already saw her potential.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah JF saw the potential kaya nila inimbita si maine for audition. Kaso nung audition sabi maine di siya marunong kumanta, sumayaw at umarte. Kaya parang naisip ni JF siya ba talaga yun nasa dubsmash. Pero dahil dun sa dubsmash na yun naniniwala sila na may something k maine.

  43. And you made it!! It was just really YOU! God has its purpose and now you know it.. U touched each one of us..

  50. Aside from Showbiz, this day is also the start of God's plan for you and Tisoy to meet again. God made you enter EB and so is Alden. Who would have made that destiny, it's only HIM. You are really a match made in heaven.

    1. I was never a fan of local showbiz until I saw one of her & Alden's video. She's not the usual pretty and sexy star but she has this kind of "uniqueness" whcih is totally different from other stars of her generation. She's not afraid to be "herself" or to look "weird" at times unlike other stars who are so "pabebe & pa-cute" and very conscious on how they look & talk. She's also smart and knows how to put her thoughts in writing.

      I just hope that she will continue to re-invent herself; and to gradually shift from comedy genre to a more serious roles.

    1. In hope she will continue to hone her talent in writing. Showbiz is a very tricky world and at times "unstable". She could always shift to work behind camera or into broadcasting i.e., news anchor (tipong pang ANC); or hosting shows and big corporate events.

  92. YOU are a living proof that DREAMS really do came true, if we believe in ourselves and face our fears. Look at you now, ACTRESS, SINGER & SONGWRITER. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us. More Power & GOD Bless!!! And please DON'T CHANGE.

And as a fan, I'm really proud that you've become what you are now. As you always said, you'd never once thought that you can do this and that but surprisingly you did.
