I love you FP! Di ako makapasok sa blog ni Maine jusko. Ang galing ng batang to. Malaos man to bilang artista, may iba pa syang field na pwedeng puntahan. Hay! May pagka-insecure ako sa buhay dahil sa experience in life, pero si maine nagbigay ng light sa perception ko sa buhay haha. Love you menggay!
Anon 6:16 Yes, we all know the message but some people talks the talk but DOES NOT walk the walk. Maine's blog post is not just lip service - she actually Walks the Talk and that my friend is the big difference between YOU and HER! Intindihin muna kasi ang context bago kumuda....
6:16 or 9:19 (SAME PERSON). Di eto libro. Blog ang tawag dito at kayo feeling spoiler ang title. Hello! What is admirable about this article is NOT how beautiful it was written but how it was courageous of THE writer to write about this controversial stuff especially she is a part of showbiz world! Sheezz! What a loser.
@6:16 Yes, it's common knowledge that there are many pretentious people in show business but celebrities - most especially those who are at the top - rarely point it out, much less make a lengthy blog post about it. Sige nga, name another famous celebrity who has written about the "barbie world" that is Philippine showbiz and has said that it's better to be yourself than pretend to be someone you're not. Then tell me that the blog post is not extraordinary.
Unahan ko na kayo. I will fight anyone who says that Maine threw Alden under the bus with this blog post. I have seen posts like that. Seryoso po. Konting comprehension naman. The post is about staying true to yourself and not changing who you are as a person just to pander to the whims of show business – a culture prevalent in the industry. If you really want to connect the post to Alden – specifically to the Cristy F. hullaballoo - then I don’t see any negative implication at all. Was Alden being pretentious when he gave the flowers? I don’t think so. He was being his usual super nice self by extending an olive branch to the people who have spewed hate towards him (and Maine). So how could the post be about her calling Alden out for what he did?
Take the blog post for what it is and don’t put any hidden meanings on it. It’s Maine’s stand against everyone who wants her to change who she is just so she would conform to what the showbiz industry is used to. Also, before you drag Alden into it, remember that they’re private people. They don’t reveal anything unless asked – sometimes not even then. Maine will not publicly confront Alden kung may issue siya. And to do it through a blog post? I don’t think she’s the type. Kaya bago kayo kumuda, alamin niyo muna kung saan nila ginamit yung Safeguard. K bye.
Why people try to drag Alden's name in this article? Maine was referring to a certain "her", the individual that was close to her. Now, if the readers doesn't know how to differentiate "her" and "he/him" then, they might need to go back to the grammar school. Clearly, she's referring to a girl not a boy... just my 2cents...
She speaks generally. Masyado lang overthinking yung iba. Her is blog is kind of 'bato bato sa langit..' haha. it is not her prob.kung tamaan ka kumbaga. ;) I am one with you. :)
Korek! I don't think Maine will post something like this if it will throw shade to Alden, she's smarter than that. This is more a general insight coming from a girl with super-ninja observation skills. Thank you, Ok bye felicia....
Maine, that is the price of fame. Pag sobra ang pagsikat mo, mas lalong dumadami ang haters mo. I salute you dahil hindi ka nagparetoke to please this hypocrite society. Kahit anong mabuti ang gawin mo, meron at merong masasabi sayo. Aside from c'est la vie, always remember DAMN IF YOU DO, DAMN IF YOU DON'T.
I agree. This girl is so smart and brave. My whole fam admires her a lot. Like what Direk Joey said, she's so rare in the industry dahil matalinong bata. Everything on her blog post is on point! It should be that way. A lesson na din for today's generation.. Be yourself. People who genuinely loves you will accept you for who you are. We are not in the world to please people. Isa pa, she entered showbiz & become instantly famous. It was different, unique. She know nothing about the traditional ways in "showbiz" When she entered the industry she changed how people looked at beauty, she's both a social media queen and she's also on mainstream tv hence the title given by Boy Abunda "A superstar adopted by mainstream tv". Let the lady be who she wants to be. Everyone should think that way too. Maine is loved by the people for who she is, with all those flaws. Another unique this about her; it was the people who actually made her famous, not those tabloid writers. Let's be human in the barbie world.
Aanhin naman niya ang tabloid writers when she can write for herself, no? Magblog lang siya nababalita na sa social media (rappler at FP to name a few) kahit saang industriya lamang ang may utak. :)
AnonymousJuly 26, 2016 at 2:08 AM agree ako sa iyo. She came to fame thru social media at never went to reporters to beg for a write-ups. Ganito kasi kalakaean nun eh. I write good, you pay me, But not Maine. Her blog spreads like wild fire and pinaguusapan. People quickly draw to read her blog. Mas sense kasing basahin
Never mo nmn mapplease lahat eh kahit ordinary ka lang. Sa trabaho lang, may isa kang kasamahan na ayaw sayo kahit majority gusto ka. Padang sinasabi lang sa mga baguhang artists "kung Hindi mo matake wag kang magshowbiz"
Well, she can afford to say that coz she shot straight up and became an instant celebrity. Other artists, besides working hard, also need "pakikisama" so they would become known and also to stay long in the business. Sad but honest truth. She wouldn't understand, sumikat agad ng walang effort, so hindi cya maka-relate.
Sa iyo na nanggaling na iba ang naging daan niya para sumikat. Pero hindi natin dapat masamain yun laban sa kanya d ba? Nagsulat siya ayon sa konteksto niya kaya ang mga opinyon niya ay nahulma nito. Kaya d ko maintindihan bakit hindi maganda ang dating ng sinulat niya sa ibang tao.
Not her fault though. She became instantly famous because the people loved her for who she is. Walang PR na need. Supporters are enough.
If your "pakikisama" means kissing the evil's a$$, then sorry. That is so wrong. Kaya di naunlad at Pinas, pa-safe ang tao. Dun lang sa nakasanayan na. Ibahin mo naman. Mag-try ka ng ibang flavor.
I think you have a point and youre seeing it from a different perspective. With how she became famous, why should she still conform to the norms of the showbiz industry when she has an opportunity to be herself?
Ang "pakikisama" ay hindi ang tinutukoy ng blog ni Maine. What she is saying is, dont' change yourself so you can please others. Huwag mong baguhin ang iyong pagkatao para lang walang masabi sayo, dahil ika nga at the end of the day, ikaw din mahihirapan dahil hindi yan ang totoo mong ugali... Sa "pakikisama" naman, of course lahat naman tayo nakikisama but to a certain extent na hindi mababago ang pananaw mo sa buhay. Sabi nga ni Maine, kung mawala man ang kasikatan niya, OK lang - at least she was real and authentic - pak ganern!
She knows how to make pakisama to the people who are good to her. But she won't be a kiss ass dun sa mga haters/wlang credibilidad na tabloid writers na kahit anong gawin nya wala din namang magandang sasabihin about her. Kahit pakisamahan mo yang mga yan pag ayaw nila sayo wla kang magagawa. So why waste time and effort, deadmahin na lng. Mas madami namang nagmamahal eh.
9:10 nahiya naman ako sa defenitely mo. she's lucky indeed because she is a good person. what you see is what you get. People are drawn to her becuase she's true.
Nagiging PEOPLE-PLEASER ka kung ang PAKIKISAMA mo ay sobra na. Sa experiences ko lang from someone close to me who is a people-pleaser, medyo nakakainis din. Yong tipong kahit labag sa kalooban niya/pagod siya eh di pa rin marunong humindi, ayaw daw niya na may masabi ang iba. Pero napagsabihan ko naman din at narealized na niya na di pala maganda ang maging ganun ka palagi dahil marami din aabuso. Ako naman nakikisama ako pero alam ko limitations ko at ayaw ko na gustuhin ng tao dahil nagpipretend ako to be someone that I am not or na okay lang sa akin. Though Maine's blog is focusing more on "showbizness", but we (I) can relate to it as well.
You inspire me, Maine. You are younger than me but you know a lot about life. You are full of wisdom. I had been a people-pleaser all my life and it had given me anxiety. I'm in my late 30's and I decided to just "f***k it and live my life the way I want it." As long as you're not stepping on anyone, people's opinions about you doesn't matter because like what you said, "at the end of the day, what's matters most is how you see yourself." I love you, Maine!
I really want her to publish a book. Seryoso. She gives such great insight. To think she's only 21. I love this post. Another favorite of mine from her blog is "Paano Ba." Her writings make you ponder and reflect about life.
This is what separates her from her contemporaries. She seldom says her piece but when she does, lahat natatahimik at napapareflect. This is the reason too kung bakit hinahangaan ko siya. I find her beauty and charm unique, yes. She has outstanding wit and timing for comedy, oo, pero yung pagiging insightful niya and the way she refuses to conform para lang magustuhan siya ng tao, I believe that's the reason why so many people are drawn to her. Keep it up, Maine. You're such a level headed young woman. Maigi na sa ngayong panahon ka nakapasok sa showbiz and not a year or two earlier kasi when you entered the industry, kilalang kilala mo na sarili mo and you know what you want. I'll keep praying for your success and kung meron man akong kinoconsider na "it girl" ngayon, ikaw yun. You deserve our admiration. Keep inspiring people, Maine. May God bless your awesome heart. :)
We should never pressure ourselves on what other people wants to see on us. For other people it is being a brat/hardheaded, but some people will never see that we live to stand in our own life and navigate it properly without other people's approval. It is never wrong to have a different perspective in life thus, most of the influential, successful & happiest person takes risk to change the norms on their own industry. Be the "one" in this industry full of "others" in other words stay who you are because you're not robot to be mandated or controlled.
grabe ng emotional maturity nya. there might be a few who share her sentiments upon entering, but are later on swayed by the wiles of showbiz in the long run. i admire every fabric of your being and the ideals you stand on, maine :)- RAH
I agree. I actually tweeted SPS to get her as a writer. That show's segments are boring. Mas aliw pa her standeeserye. I also want to see her writing her own book or finish the novel she started last year. Pwede ding scriptwriter for her and Alden's next movie. Or write another song. Dami niya kayang gawin.
Will never doubt her words. As a self-confessed fan, sa kanya lang ako maniniwala at hindi sa mga bashers at haka haka. She's too real to be in this industry and it worried me before na baka baguhin siya ng kasikatan at kainin siya eventually ng sistema just like what happened sa ibang maganda ang nasimulan sa showbiz pero nilamon ng mundong ginagalawan nila, but after reading her blog, I worry no more kasi now I'm sure that she's the real deal. Salamat sa inspirasyon, Menggay!
No man is an island, we live to co exist. You may have your "stand" that way because you are on top of your game and you have your management team and PR team whether your tards will admit it or not doing "the thing you abhor for you". You see you may live in your bubble but the truth is there is a machinery known as Triple A, TAPE, APT behind your back making sure others in the press are happy!
Not really. Sabi nga ng PR team ng partner nya dapat daw magkaroon ng PR team si Maine. Kaya din cguro ung ibang corrupt na press (ika nga ni Duterte) eh ayaw kay Maine. Wala kasi sila mahuthot kay Maine and TAPE and APT and Triple A.
I don't get your point? She might have the backing of her management team but I don't think they censor her. And if anything, it just proves that her being herself is what made her what she is today. In the world of showbusiness, Maine is saying "accept me for what I am - and if you don't, It's Ok because I'd rather be Me". That in itself is a very powerful Message to everyone. She does not want to compromise her values in exchange of Fame. In her interviews, she said that if her fame disappears, it won't bother her because she has good memories to last her a lifetime. This girl is very grounded and people have become so jaded that they accept things as they are - not realizing that there are still people out there like Maine!
Triple A, APT, and TAPE are not in the business to make the press people happy either. Their priority is their audience, the fans of their show and their artists. That's how they have stayed long in the biz, not because of the press.
And please, Maine seems to be leading her own publicity team if there is. She posts a video/blogpost and it instantly makes waves on social media without the help of any machinery other than her fan base.
12:53 She didn't say that she doesn't need anybody's help from showbiz. Her blog post was about being an "Orocan/Barbie" in showbiz to gain people's approval.
fyi nobody forces us to like her..we like her coz she's real and funny..just like everybody she has her flaws,pero nangingibabaw pagiging totoo nya..besides you can identify people who are trying hard just to please others..
Maine is always grateful to the people who helped her in career but she will never change herself to the extent of being plastic so people she'll meet will adore her
6:06 tama..para sa mga slow eto na lang,di po si sinabi ni menggay na di nya kelangan tulong ng ibang tao para sumikat,ang sinasabi nya po,di nya kelangan baguhin ang sarili nya para lang magustuhan sya ng lahat,kasi kahit mabuti kang tao meron at meron pa rin masasabi ang iba.basta sya,wala siyang inaapakang ibang tao at totoo sya sa sarili nya.ano pong mali sa sinabi nya?kahit basher siguro di na dapat mag comment ng nega kasi tama sya,pero panindigan na lang pagiging basher kasi mahirap tanggapin na etong si menggay ay di lang pakilig ang binibigay sa mga fans kundi pati inspirasyon.
darn,may nagover analyze na naman sa sinabi ni menggay,face palm,and simple lng nman ng mga ginamit nyang words..bakla basa ulit,hindi ka palalabasin ni teacher.hahaha
What's amazing sa tandem nila ni Alden is that he helps her out to get her way around showbusiness while Maine, on the other hand, helps him out to never lose touch of reality. I don't really know kung sila na ba o kung magkakatuluyan ba sila. All I know is that they're both lucky to have crossed paths with each other in their lifetime kasi the kind of connection that they have is something rare, almost a miracle pa nga. ADN will keep praying for you two na sana malampasan niyo yung harsh environment ng showbiz at sana mas lumalim pa yung relationship niyo whether friendship man yan or something romantic. :)
Those who think Maine needs saving in this industry, she just showed everyone that she's more than capable of protecting herself and fighting her own battles.
Isa kang malalim na tao, Maine. Hindi ko alam kung tama bang nasa showbiz ka kasi parang naligaw ka yata pero narealize ko baka isa ka sa maging daan para maiba ang pananaw ng tao sa mga artista at celebrities. Na meron pa palang gaya mo na hindi lang puro kababawan at kaplastikan ang alam. Hindi ka tipikal na artista na feeling nila umiikot ang mundo sa kanila. Sana di ka magbago.
Such a brave soul..sa mundo nyo bihira yng tulad mo who would fearlessly tell the world na ito ang pnanaw mo..kebs kung may tamaan as long as you knw that that is your truth. im admiring you now in a whole new different level, ms.mendoza.
I get where she's coming from... having a normal, peaceful, low-key life and suddenly bam! everything changes--everybody knows you, has their eyes on you, watches your every move. As a celebrity, people put you on a pedestal. They idolize you to the point of imitating you. And the thing is, people don't want their idol to have any flaws, any mistakes because why would they imitate someone else's mistakes? You get me? What I'm trying to say is that all these bashers are ALSO fans who can NOT accept that their idol failed to meet their expectations. Because guess what, they are also people, like you, like all of us.
But this situation is already a commonplace in the showbiz industry. Unlike other celebrities who auditioned, planned, worked, dreamt of becoming a famous celebrity, they knew of the consequences of being famous. But Maine is the opposite. It was all an accident. Yes she did say that she dreamt of becoming a celebrity when she was a child but that was it. She didn't pursue it. Maine is just a person, a simple, bubbly person. Yes, she's not perfect, like all of us, and she won't try to be just to please your ungrateful mouth.
You say that now kasi bago k p lang, very idealistic ka pa. But later on, u'll realize that showbiz is really showmanship. It's all for the show, to please...
While that is true then shouldn't we all cut her some slack for her opinion? And be the better person by not saying 'i told you so' if she is proven wrong in the future.
People like you are the reason why ka-showbizan is still there. Try something new 'te. Magsasawa ka pag itlog parati ulam mo. Bacon naman next time. Gets?
She's very fortunate that she doesn't need to kiss somebody's a%$ to be famous. She can leave showbiz anytime she wants because she has experienced being on top. She won't mind losing popularity for the sake of being a "Barbie." She's a nice person but doesn't mean she would give her full trust easily.
6:16 she can kiss ass if she wants to sustain her fame. BUT FORTUNATELY, MAINE KNOWS HOW TO BE CONTENTED. SABI NGA NIYA HAPPY NA SIYA MAGING HOST NG EAT BULAGA FOREVER.
@1:06 All is changing and moving forward, don't dwell on status quo. If someone divergent can think of a way out of the box, then let her. Innovation ang tawag dun na wala k nun.
Digong is to politics what Menggay is to showbiz. Social Media nagluklok sa kanila sa spot nila at binasag nila ang traditional path sa pag-akyat. Parehong ayaw magconform. Maraming haters pero mas maraming avid supporters.
You can't say for certain that he's a people pleaser. Baka gusto lang niya lahat maayos sa mundo niya, walang conflict irritation o kung ano pa. May mga ganung tao. They both have things to learn from each other so it would be nice if people back off a bit from bashing these two kids.
Alden is just being TRUE to himself too! He is inherently nice person and because of this people think that doesn't like him label him as people pleaser but if you'll ask the people he've worked with through the years he remained the same.
Alden is just being nice. Yung 5 years niya sa showbiz, marami na siyang na-encounter na tao. Iba dun, natulungan siya o nakatrabaho niya. Iba dun, na-meet na niya eg. press people. Natural lang maging nice siya sa mga taong yun. Pero di ba siya pa yung nagsasabi Kay Maine dating na showbiz is full of pretensions. So he is cautious din.
6:31 may hugot si maine. Siguro may experience siya lately na natraydor ng kasamahan or sino man kaya nasaktan. Kawawang bata. Siya pa ngayon ang minasama.
That's good that she's got a good on head on her shoulder, but with that said...showbiz is showbiz. It will never change. Not everyone has the same fame that she has now. Unfortunately, some talents needs to please ppl. Not just because of showbiz, but also maybe that's how they were brought up. To care about what other ppl think. It's not healthy, but it happens. When being in showbiz is your bread and butter, some ppl will do anything to maintain that. Even if that means being a ppl pleaser and kissing a$$. That's a sad fact for a lot of talents.
So young yet so eloquent & unafraid. With everything I am learning about you, the more I love, respect, &'admire you. You are a different mold indeed. Hope there will be more like you in years to come. Imagine how great showbiz world would be with more people who are real & true to self.❤️
1:32 she's actually loved by people around her... so saan ang hindi pakikisama doon? wala naman siyang binastos sa pagkakaalam ko at lahat na ma meet niya maganda naman...or does she really have to go out of her way to please everyone?
Sa aking palagay yun naman ang ginagawa niya sa ngayon, ang nakikisama at d plastic. Ang ayaw lang niya siguro eh yung maraming ipinapagawa at inaasahan sa kanya nang alam niya sa sarili niyang hindi pa niya kaya at hindi bukal sa loob niyang gawin sa ngayon. Yun lang naman yata ang ibig niya pakahulugan dito.
Magaling rin nmn makisama si meng. As far as i know, wala namang nasasabing masama tungkol sa kanya lahat ng mga nakakatrabaho nya (and that's all that matters). I think patama lang to ni meng sa writer na dapat matutunan nyang mag PR (knowing maine updated yan sa mga hanash). Jusko, gusto ata nila eh si meng ang mag reach out sa kanila at bigyan ng pa havs para lang itigil yung bad write-ups tungkol sa kanya na pati pamilya eh dinadamay.Gusto rin ata eh maki party pa sa kanila. Kaloka, hindi ko ata masisikmura yon . Ok lang sana kung paminsan minsan na paninira lang. LOL . But in maine's case halos araw araw ata may bad write-up tungkol sa kanya at pati sa tv program eh sinisiraan pa. As long as nirerespeto mo sila at wala kang masamang sinasabi o ginagawa sa kanila ok na yon.
Huwag kang masyadong defensive, 1:51. In general terms ang ibig sabihin ni 1:32. Wala siyang sinasabing plastik si Maine. Huwag kasing tunnel vision pagdating sa paga-idolize
Sige... Pano ka makikisama sa mga taong nilait ka at ang buong pamilya mo ng walang halong kaplastikan, 1:32? Impossible dba? So imbes na makipagplastikan ka, wag na lang.
FYI po nakikisama sya, mapa fans, ordinaryong tao, kapwa artista o staff and crew. Kung di yan marunong makisama matagal ng maraming nagreklamo all over social media especially nowadays na lahat ng tao may socmed accnts at nakasunod sa bawat kilos nila ni A.
Yung mga paimportanteng nilalang lang naman ang may reklamo.
All the while I just thought that I'm only cheering for a girl who is in the process of reaching her dreams and I end up being mentored by her. This girl is very smart and a league of her own. I'm a very proud fan of THE Maine Mendoza.
ang sarap talaga para sa isang artista na nagpapaka-totoo ka lang sa lahat. malaya ka, walang dapat halikan na judas para pilit maitago ang mga lihim na nakaraan, o di kaya ay purihin ka sa mga papel na pambalot ng tinapa.
Dba? Ganyan naman dapat. Wag tangkilin ang mga hudas na yan. Nagbibigay pa sila ng pangkain ng mga yan sa araw-araw kahit di nila deserve. Sabagay, may karma
Either way I don't think it's such a big deal for her. Remember, she stumbled onto her industry via a very unusual route. At halata namang hindi niya inaasahang tatangkilikin siya ng ganito. Ilagay lang natin sa tamang konteksto.
Grabe ka naman halatang di mo sya kilala try mong mag-research para malaman mo ang mga sinasabi nya o sadyang mema ka lang kaya kung maka kuda ka dyan.
Konti o marami ang fans nararapat lang na maging totoo tayo sa ating mga sarili. Di lahat ng bagay ay kailangan sundin o sumunod ka sa agos. Di porket yun ang nakasanayan eh kinakailangan automatic yun na din ang gagawin mo. We all have the right to choose our own path, di kailangan nakadepende sa nakasanayan lahat ng gagawin sa buhay.
Di rin naman guarantee na kung susunod sya sa agos eh totoo ang ipapakita sa kanya ng ibang tao. :-)
1:45 and 2:57, She was loved by her fans for being true to herself. Kung nag-go with the flow siya how showbiz works, she won't have many fans as she has right now. Isn't it ironic?
Pwede namang mag kiss ass si maine para masustain ang kasikatan niya pero contented na siya, hindi nga takot mawala ang kasikatan. Minahal siya ng tao dahil totoo siya.
sareh..go with the flow is not her forte..she's just having fun,at marami ang natutuwa sa kanya,fyi mga bata at matatanda,they accepted her nothing less nothing more..mga insecure lng nman ang may galit sa kanya kasi bukod sa mayaman na sya,may Alden pa sya..hahaha flips hair
Si Maine ang tipo ng artista na napaka-simple pero sobrang talino na sa ganyang edad magugulat ka na lang naiisip nya yan in a way na mapapaisip ka rin na tama naman talaga sya kaya marami ang humahanga sayo.
Wow 2:15, yan lang ang napulot mo sa haba ng sinabi niya. Tsk. Reading comprehension mo kulang na kulang. Bumalik ka sa school at magaral ulit magbasa.
why change when everybody loves you by just being you..besides you know in your heart na wala ka nman ginagawang masama,some people just hate her coz they are insecure of her..just lyk that..
There's a difference between pakikisama and blind following. Show business is one of a hella crap system ... full of people well-polished outside but stinks inside. There's something wrong with the system & culture. I am so glad that Maine Mendoza chose not to to be consumed by that system, instead she defied it and spoke her mind. This girl proves that by being her true self - flawed, imperfect but striving to be better - makes her even more "human" and loved by many. You are such an inspiration to many, Maine! Keep being you! You're a good person.
Dumarami na din sa showbiz yung keber sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng bashers and press who don't like them. Tama yan. As long as wala kayong tinatapakang tao at madami kayong napapasaya.
some said she is brave to say it because sikat xa ngayon and she didnt go thru lyk others who kiss ass just to be recognized by the network.but for me maine is just saying that the showbiz world is full of indecent act by faking and be someone you are not just to please those people who think can make you famous.Maine is ready na mawala ung fame nya as long as her individuality and values are intact.nasa tao pa din kung nasisikmura nya ba makipagplastikan at magbayad just so hindi ka sisiraan ng mga walang credibilidad na writers sa showbiz.BE REAL or be just like one of them.salute to you maine for being so brave.
i get her and i agree na di natin ma wiwin lahat ng tao kahit pa nag effort tayo at kung ano pa. meron at meron talaga na hindi ka gusto. and that is life. kaya the only thing to do is be you. however, sa tingin ko hindi nag aapply masyado ito kung super maldita ka inside. sakit ka sa ulo sa lahat ng maka interact mo. though generally, yung "realness" of a person should be balanced din. always carry yourself with decency and respect towards every person and u are good to go. i think yung hindi nya like is yung super excessive na kaplastikan and doing things out of your character para to get ahead of the race. inch by inch if u participate, lalamunin ka ng system and u end up not knowing who you are anymore.
You nailed it Maine. Actually hindi lang sa showbiz pwede i-apply to also in real life!
Maine, since you started naging idol na kita. Super na inspire mo kasi ako na kahit wildest dream pala pwede pa din magkatotoo like what happend to you.
M said, A will always be part of her heart no matter where they end up, I don't think she will do this to someone who's been a part of her life and career
6:02 what A feels about all these, we will never know. That young man has been an enigma for me a few weeks after Aldub. Either he is too private or a man of no conviction.Has he ever replied to something that is straight to the point? It might also be that he has been too PR-trained over the years in showbiz. But while this blog is all Maine, we cannot not include Alden since he is the closest person to her in showbiz. Yes, tho we will never know what A thinks becuz we are not M, let us hope he is happy, proud, & above all respectful of Maine. 🌺
Thing is though, the "real selves" of other celebrities are difficult to love kasi masama talaga ang ugali nila. So maybe my takeaway from this post is be yourself but always, always strive to be better.
Maine in her IG post stated that she's trying to be better. Good thing, maine is mabait na dati pa. JUAN SARTE and CELESTE TUVIERA SAID IN AN INTERVIEW SA MAG NA MAINE IS REAL AND GENUINE. Sila pa nga daw ang feeling artista.
Maine is talking about herself and her opinion. She's not telling the people in the industry to make a change. I remember Marian Rivera before was also attacked by many showbiz press for her personality like maldita, snobbed, talakera, doesn't speak English well but she didn't mind of all of them and look where she is now and how is she loved by Dingdong. I'm sure Alden and Maine understands each other and they are Happy together. They are just being themselves on how they deal with people. Yang mga tabloid writers kung ayaw niyo sa isang tao hwag niyo ng aksayahan ng panahon. Kayo naman ang nagpapansin Eh. Lalo ng Yang shriek at jobert. Akala mo gaano kalinis ang budhi Kung makapanlait. Pwe!
Look, if Maine did that thing that they wanted her to do that is against her will... ang sasabihin lang ng mga tao e "ay, showbiz na si Maine." A little of her shine will be gone because that is one of the things that people love about her. Hindi siya showbiz. Admit it, you will be a little bit disappointed if she did that.
MAINE. . . A TOAST TO YOUR FEARLESS DISPLAY OF WISDOM, MATURITY AND INSIGHT FOR SOMEONE SO YOUNG (21). TO HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE THAT OTHERS TAKES A LIFETIME TO FIGURE OUT - WOWWW!!! YOU ARE WISE BEYOND YOUR YEARS, YOUR THOUGHTS MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE, AND YOUR REFLECTIONS ARE ON POINT. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INSTINCT, AND QUESTION WHAT OTHERS BLINDLY FOLLOW...
well, she can say these words fearlessly kasi she can walk away from showbiz anytime she wants. mayaman siya so hindi nya kailangang makisama sa ibang tao. she's lucky but not everyone in the showbusiness is as lucky as her. may iba kailangang mag pretend so they can stay in the business kasi ito ang bread and butter nila. well kudos to her for staying true to herself. sana mapanindigan nya yan kapag lumamlam na ang kinang niya. you know fame can be addicting.
Admire her courage to express her thoughts about showbiz. Every words she said is on point. Maine is considered still a newbie but she change the route to stardom taking away the traditions that's been destroying the moral fibers of the industry.
Meng, we are all clamoring for a book from you, but we know how busy you are. Pls. Publish a collection of your blogs to start with. like Wil Wheaton's Just A Geek. You have very good blogs.
Yes she need's not to please others if she 's not that of a person. She just want to be real.as long as she doesn't do something wrong to anybody else..The more I admire for.that .
Reading her post, i admit nagulat ako. For her stature, I thought she would now play it safe and not "rock the boat". But as you can see, she writes her observation with a keen eye and a truthful perception. Napa-isip tuloy ako na ang batang ito ay may sariling prinsipyo sa buhay. Sa totoo lang, anyone from showbiz who will read this post will feel the "heat" but she writes it anyway. I think Maine is a good person at heart, and what she's trying to point out is don't change so others will accept you, specially if it conflicts with your own values. Maraming tao sa showbiz na pumapasok at binabago ang sarili para sa kasikatan - Yes, sisikat ka nga, but at what expense? Ngayon kung mabait ka naman at wala kang tinatapakan na tao, then mas panatag ang loob mo at wala kang dapat ikatakot. Kung hindi ka man maging sikat, at least nagpakatotoo ka sa sarili mo. Kung magbabago ka man, it is to make yourself a better person in order to humble yourself. The Lesson to learn on this is: Don't sell yourself to the devil because it will cost more than you bargained for.
Anong movie ni emma yung nasa picture?
ReplyDeletePareho tayo ng outlook Meng sa buhay, ganyan din ako:)))
Deletewhats that incident???? oh the shade hahahaha love u meng :)
Delete@12:28 that's from the movie Easy A. If I remember correctly.😊
DeleteEasy A yung movie 12:28
DeleteI love you FP! Di ako makapasok sa blog ni Maine jusko. Ang galing ng batang to. Malaos man to bilang artista, may iba pa syang field na pwedeng puntahan. Hay! May pagka-insecure ako sa buhay dahil sa experience in life, pero si maine nagbigay ng light sa perception ko sa buhay haha. Love you menggay!
ReplyDeleteMaine is the game changer in the industry.
Deletecan she tell us something we do not know. first sentence pa lng, giveaway na. dat blog is not something extraordinary, lol
DeleteCan you effin tell us something we dont lnow anon 6:16? Ang nega mo! I doubt if you can even write something like that
DeleteHaha true anon 6:16
DeleteAnon 6:16 Yes, we all know the message but some people talks the talk but DOES NOT walk the walk. Maine's blog post is not just lip service - she actually Walks the Talk and that my friend is the big difference between YOU and HER! Intindihin muna kasi ang context bago kumuda....
Delete6:16 or 9:19 (SAME PERSON). Di eto libro. Blog ang tawag dito at kayo feeling spoiler ang title. Hello! What is admirable about this article is NOT how beautiful it was written but how it was courageous of THE writer to write about this controversial stuff especially she is a part of showbiz world! Sheezz! What a loser.
Delete@6:16 Yes, it's common knowledge that there are many pretentious people in show business but celebrities - most especially those who are at the top - rarely point it out, much less make a lengthy blog post about it. Sige nga, name another famous celebrity who has written about the "barbie world" that is Philippine showbiz and has said that it's better to be yourself than pretend to be someone you're not. Then tell me that the blog post is not extraordinary.
Deletenaku may insecurity rin sa buhay si 6:16. Tsk tsk tsk. Sana malabanan mo yan
DeleteUnahan ko na kayo. I will fight anyone who says that Maine threw Alden under the bus with this blog post. I have seen posts like that. Seryoso po. Konting comprehension naman. The post is about staying true to yourself and not changing who you are as a person just to pander to the whims of show business – a culture prevalent in the industry. If you really want to connect the post to Alden – specifically to the Cristy F. hullaballoo - then I don’t see any negative implication at all. Was Alden being pretentious when he gave the flowers? I don’t think so. He was being his usual super nice self by extending an olive branch to the people who have spewed hate towards him (and Maine). So how could the post be about her calling Alden out for what he did?
ReplyDeleteTake the blog post for what it is and don’t put any hidden meanings on it. It’s Maine’s stand against everyone who wants her to change who she is just so she would conform to what the showbiz industry is used to. Also, before you drag Alden into it, remember that they’re private people. They don’t reveal anything unless asked – sometimes not even then. Maine will not publicly confront Alden kung may issue siya. And to do it through a blog post? I don’t think she’s the type. Kaya bago kayo kumuda, alamin niyo muna kung saan nila ginamit yung Safeguard. K bye.
Nice one. Im with you in it.
DeleteWhy people try to drag Alden's name in this article? Maine was referring to a certain "her", the individual that was close to her. Now, if the readers doesn't know how to differentiate "her" and "he/him" then, they might need to go back to the grammar school. Clearly, she's referring to a girl not a boy... just my 2cents...
DeleteShe speaks generally. Masyado lang overthinking yung iba. Her is blog is kind of 'bato bato sa langit..' haha. it is not her prob.kung tamaan ka kumbaga. ;)
DeleteI am one with you. :)
Korek! I don't think Maine will post something like this if it will throw shade to Alden, she's smarter than that. This is more a general insight coming from a girl with super-ninja observation skills. Thank you, Ok bye felicia....
DeleteVery well said. This not only can be apply in showbiz but in all aspects of life as well. #truth
ReplyDeleteMaine, that is the price of fame. Pag sobra ang pagsikat mo, mas lalong dumadami ang haters mo. I salute you dahil hindi ka nagparetoke to please this hypocrite society. Kahit anong mabuti ang gawin mo, meron at merong masasabi sayo. Aside from c'est la vie, always remember DAMN IF YOU DO, DAMN IF YOU DON'T.
DeletePero nacurious ako sinong she ang kausap niya
I agree. This girl is so smart and brave. My whole fam admires her a lot. Like what Direk Joey said, she's so rare in the industry dahil matalinong bata. Everything on her blog post is on point! It should be that way. A lesson na din for today's generation.. Be yourself. People who genuinely loves you will accept you for who you are. We are not in the world to please people. Isa pa, she entered showbiz & become instantly famous. It was different, unique. She know nothing about the traditional ways in "showbiz" When she entered the industry she changed how people looked at beauty, she's both a social media queen and she's also on mainstream tv hence the title given by Boy Abunda "A superstar adopted by mainstream tv". Let the lady be who she wants to be. Everyone should think that way too. Maine is loved by the people for who she is, with all those flaws. Another unique this about her; it was the people who actually made her famous, not those tabloid writers. Let's be human in the barbie world.
DeleteTalino talaga ni maine :)
ReplyDeleteAanhin naman niya ang tabloid writers when she can write for herself, no? Magblog lang siya nababalita na sa social media (rappler at FP to name a few) kahit saang industriya lamang ang may utak. :)
DeleteAnonymousJuly 26, 2016 at 2:08 AM
Deleteagree ako sa iyo. She came to fame thru social media at never went to reporters to beg for a write-ups. Ganito kasi kalakaean nun eh. I write good, you pay me, But not Maine. Her blog spreads like wild fire and pinaguusapan. People quickly draw to read her blog. Mas sense kasing basahin
Never mo nmn mapplease lahat eh kahit ordinary ka lang. Sa trabaho lang, may isa kang kasamahan na ayaw sayo kahit majority gusto ka. Padang sinasabi lang sa mga baguhang artists "kung Hindi mo matake wag kang magshowbiz"
ReplyDeleteLive life the way you want regardless of any people's comments! Love you meng!
ReplyDeletethis is why i love her. not a lot of celebrities are eloquent and real. she has my support from day one until i die. adn|mdn fan here. x
ReplyDeleteHer blog posts are always worth reading 😍 Love you Meng. You are a jewel in this Barbie world.
ReplyDeletewhy and how she was fated to be in showbiz in that extraordinary way because that is her divine purpose. Change has come so should showbizness.
DeleteState of the (Aldub) Nation Address. Ganern!
ReplyDeleteWell, she can afford to say that coz she shot straight up and became an instant celebrity. Other artists, besides working hard, also need "pakikisama" so they would become known and also to stay long in the business. Sad but honest truth. She wouldn't understand, sumikat agad ng walang effort, so hindi cya maka-relate.
ReplyDeleteWalang effort? E kayod kalabaw nga ang bata. Iba po ang pakikisama sa pagiging mapagkunwari. Know the difference bago kumuda,.
DeleteSa iyo na nanggaling na iba ang naging daan niya para sumikat. Pero hindi natin dapat masamain yun laban sa kanya d ba? Nagsulat siya ayon sa konteksto niya kaya ang mga opinyon niya ay nahulma nito.
DeleteKaya d ko maintindihan bakit hindi maganda ang dating ng sinulat niya sa ibang tao.
You nailed it! Never a truer words!
DeleteNot her fault though. She became instantly famous because the people loved her for who she is. Walang PR na need. Supporters are enough.
DeleteIf your "pakikisama" means kissing the evil's a$$, then sorry. That is so wrong. Kaya di naunlad at Pinas, pa-safe ang tao. Dun lang sa nakasanayan na. Ibahin mo naman. Mag-try ka ng ibang flavor.
I think you have a point and youre seeing it from a different perspective. With how she became famous, why should she still conform to the norms of the showbiz industry when she has an opportunity to be herself?
DeleteAng "pakikisama" ay hindi ang tinutukoy ng blog ni Maine. What she is saying is, dont' change yourself so you can please others. Huwag mong baguhin ang iyong pagkatao para lang walang masabi sayo, dahil ika nga at the end of the day, ikaw din mahihirapan dahil hindi yan ang totoo mong ugali... Sa "pakikisama" naman, of course lahat naman tayo nakikisama but to a certain extent na hindi mababago ang pananaw mo sa buhay. Sabi nga ni Maine, kung mawala man ang kasikatan niya, OK lang - at least she was real and authentic - pak ganern!
DeleteShe knows how to make pakisama to the people who are good to her. But she won't be a kiss ass dun sa mga haters/wlang credibilidad na tabloid writers na kahit anong gawin nya wala din namang magandang sasabihin about her. Kahit pakisamahan mo yang mga yan pag ayaw nila sayo wla kang magagawa. So why waste time and effort, deadmahin na lng. Mas madami namang nagmamahal eh.
DeleteTrue.
DeleteIkaw ba baks pakikisamahan mo ba yung mga taong nilait-lait ka at ang pamilya mo?
DeleteOn point 12:43
DeleteTotally agree with you. She's lucky that people got hooked with the AlDub thing otherwise she will defenitely sing a different tune.
Delete9:10 nahiya naman ako sa defenitely mo. she's lucky indeed because she is a good person. what you see is what you get. People are drawn to her becuase she's true.
DeleteNagiging PEOPLE-PLEASER ka kung ang PAKIKISAMA mo ay sobra na. Sa experiences ko lang from someone close to me who is a people-pleaser, medyo nakakainis din. Yong tipong kahit labag sa kalooban niya/pagod siya eh di pa rin marunong humindi, ayaw daw niya na may masabi ang iba. Pero napagsabihan ko naman din at narealized na niya na di pala maganda ang maging ganun ka palagi dahil marami din aabuso. Ako naman nakikisama ako pero alam ko limitations ko at ayaw ko na gustuhin ng tao dahil nagpipretend ako to be someone that I am not or na okay lang sa akin. Though Maine's blog is focusing more on "showbizness", but we (I) can relate to it as well.
DeleteYou inspire me, Maine. You are younger than me but you know a lot about life. You are full of wisdom. I had been a people-pleaser all my life and it had given me anxiety. I'm in my late 30's and I decided to just "f***k it and live my life the way I want it." As long as you're not stepping on anyone, people's opinions about you doesn't matter because like what you said, "at the end of the day, what's matters most is how you see yourself." I love you, Maine!
ReplyDeleteI really want her to publish a book. Seryoso. She gives such great insight. To think she's only 21. I love this post. Another favorite of mine from her blog is "Paano Ba." Her writings make you ponder and reflect about life.
ReplyDeletelove you Meng!
ReplyDeleteThis is what separates her from her contemporaries. She seldom says her piece but when she does, lahat natatahimik at napapareflect. This is the reason too kung bakit hinahangaan ko siya. I find her beauty and charm unique, yes. She has outstanding wit and timing for comedy, oo, pero yung pagiging insightful niya and the way she refuses to conform para lang magustuhan siya ng tao, I believe that's the reason why so many people are drawn to her. Keep it up, Maine. You're such a level headed young woman. Maigi na sa ngayong panahon ka nakapasok sa showbiz and not a year or two earlier kasi when you entered the industry, kilalang kilala mo na sarili mo and you know what you want. I'll keep praying for your success and kung meron man akong kinoconsider na "it girl" ngayon, ikaw yun. You deserve our admiration. Keep inspiring people, Maine. May God bless your awesome heart. :)
ReplyDeleteWe should never pressure ourselves on what other people wants to see on us. For other people it is being a brat/hardheaded, but some people will never see that we live to stand in our own life and navigate it properly without other people's approval. It is never wrong to have a different perspective in life thus, most of the influential, successful & happiest person takes risk to change the norms on their own industry. Be the "one" in this industry full of "others" in other words stay who you are because you're not robot to be mandated or controlled.
ReplyDeletegrabe ng emotional maturity nya. there might be a few who share her sentiments upon entering, but are later on swayed by the wiles of showbiz in the long run. i admire every fabric of your being and the ideals you stand on, maine :)- RAH
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely not a people pleasing, suck-up... Never change Maine...
ReplyDeleteI truly, madly, deeply love this girl.
ReplyDeleteIf and when she decides to quit, i think she would be more suited behind the scenes. She writes well.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I actually tweeted SPS to get her as a writer. That show's segments are boring. Mas aliw pa her standeeserye. I also want to see her writing her own book or finish the novel she started last year. Pwede ding scriptwriter for her and Alden's next movie. Or write another song. Dami niya kayang gawin.
DeleteI think she'll also be a good film maker or content creator. She's very creative and is always full of ideas.
DeleteI hope maine will become a creative consultant, a producer or an executive of a network.
DeleteWill never doubt her words. As a self-confessed fan, sa kanya lang ako maniniwala at hindi sa mga bashers at haka haka. She's too real to be in this industry and it worried me before na baka baguhin siya ng kasikatan at kainin siya eventually ng sistema just like what happened sa ibang maganda ang nasimulan sa showbiz pero nilamon ng mundong ginagalawan nila, but after reading her blog, I worry no more kasi now I'm sure that she's the real deal. Salamat sa inspirasyon, Menggay!
ReplyDeleteNo man is an island, we live to co exist. You may have your "stand" that way because you are on top of your game and you have your management team and PR team whether your tards will admit it or not doing "the thing you abhor for you". You see you may live in your bubble but the truth is there is a machinery known as Triple A, TAPE, APT behind your back making sure others in the press are happy!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. What she wrote doesn't only apply to her industry. Please widen your horizon.
DeleteTrue again.
DeleteNot really. Sabi nga ng PR team ng partner nya dapat daw magkaroon ng PR team si Maine. Kaya din cguro ung ibang corrupt na press (ika nga ni Duterte) eh ayaw kay Maine. Wala kasi sila mahuthot kay Maine and TAPE and APT and Triple A.
DeleteI don't get your point? She might have the backing of her management team but I don't think they censor her. And if anything, it just proves that her being herself is what made her what she is today. In the world of showbusiness, Maine is saying "accept me for what I am - and if you don't, It's Ok because I'd rather be Me". That in itself is a very powerful Message to everyone. She does not want to compromise her values in exchange of Fame. In her interviews, she said that if her fame disappears, it won't bother her because she has good memories to last her a lifetime. This girl is very grounded and people have become so jaded that they accept things as they are - not realizing that there are still people out there like Maine!
DeleteTriple A, APT, and TAPE are not in the business to make the press people happy either. Their priority is their audience, the fans of their show and their artists. That's how they have stayed long in the biz, not because of the press.
DeleteAnd please, Maine seems to be leading her own publicity team if there is. She posts a video/blogpost and it instantly makes waves on social media without the help of any machinery other than her fan base.
12:53 She didn't say that she doesn't need anybody's help from showbiz. Her blog post was about being an "Orocan/Barbie" in showbiz to gain people's approval.
Deletefyi nobody forces us to like her..we like her coz she's real and funny..just like everybody she has her flaws,pero nangingibabaw pagiging totoo nya..besides you can identify people who are trying hard just to please others..
DeleteMaine is always grateful to the people who helped her in career but she will never change herself to the extent of being plastic so people she'll meet will adore her
Delete6:06 tama..para sa mga slow eto na lang,di po si sinabi ni menggay na di nya kelangan tulong ng ibang tao para sumikat,ang sinasabi nya po,di nya kelangan baguhin ang sarili nya para lang magustuhan sya ng lahat,kasi kahit mabuti kang tao meron at meron pa rin masasabi ang iba.basta sya,wala siyang inaapakang ibang tao at totoo sya sa sarili nya.ano pong mali sa sinabi nya?kahit basher siguro di na dapat mag comment ng nega kasi tama sya,pero panindigan na lang pagiging basher kasi mahirap tanggapin na etong si menggay ay di lang pakilig ang binibigay sa mga fans kundi pati inspirasyon.
Deletedarn,may nagover analyze na naman sa sinabi ni menggay,face palm,and simple lng nman ng mga ginamit nyang words..bakla basa ulit,hindi ka palalabasin ni teacher.hahaha
DeleteShe's giving us Hollywood. I love this girl. Fierce. Intelligent. Real.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Time to change the showbiz system in the Philippines. We are so way behind from the modern way like Hollywood.
DeleteI love u Maine!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's amazing sa tandem nila ni Alden is that he helps her out to get her way around showbusiness while Maine, on the other hand, helps him out to never lose touch of reality. I don't really know kung sila na ba o kung magkakatuluyan ba sila. All I know is that they're both lucky to have crossed paths with each other in their lifetime kasi the kind of connection that they have is something rare, almost a miracle pa nga. ADN will keep praying for you two na sana malampasan niyo yung harsh environment ng showbiz at sana mas lumalim pa yung relationship niyo whether friendship man yan or something romantic. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you try to please everyone, you'll end up hating yourself.
ReplyDeleteTrue. And you'll end up burnt-out and bitter.
DeleteTrue! And you'll end up wasting yourself by being someone else.
DeleteTrue,and you'll end up suffering from depression.
DeleteTrue! And you will never be able to Pak the Ganern the same again!
Deletetrue, You will never be truly happy
Deletetrue. you will eventually suffer from paranoia. i know someone who end up like this.
DeleteThose who think Maine needs saving in this industry, she just showed everyone that she's more than capable of protecting herself and fighting her own battles.
ReplyDeleteFinally, an artista who walks the talk.
ReplyDeleteMAINE is REAL. No pretensions. She walks the talk. We will love you for who you are until the ends of the earth.
ReplyDeleteIsa kang malalim na tao, Maine. Hindi ko alam kung tama bang nasa showbiz ka kasi parang naligaw ka yata pero narealize ko baka isa ka sa maging daan para maiba ang pananaw ng tao sa mga artista at celebrities. Na meron pa palang gaya mo na hindi lang puro kababawan at kaplastikan ang alam. Hindi ka tipikal na artista na feeling nila umiikot ang mundo sa kanila. Sana di ka magbago.
ReplyDeleteSuch a brave soul..sa mundo nyo bihira yng tulad mo who would fearlessly tell the world na ito ang pnanaw mo..kebs kung may tamaan as long as you knw that that is your truth. im admiring you now in a whole new different level, ms.mendoza.
ReplyDeleteI get where she's coming from... having a normal, peaceful, low-key life and suddenly bam! everything changes--everybody knows you, has their eyes on you, watches your every move. As a celebrity, people put you on a pedestal. They idolize you to the point of imitating you. And the thing is, people don't want their idol to have any flaws, any mistakes because why would they imitate someone else's mistakes? You get me? What I'm trying to say is that all these bashers are ALSO fans who can NOT accept that their idol failed to meet their expectations. Because guess what, they are also people, like you, like all of us.
ReplyDeleteBut this situation is already a commonplace in the showbiz industry. Unlike other celebrities who auditioned, planned, worked, dreamt of becoming a famous celebrity, they knew of the consequences of being famous. But Maine is the opposite. It was all an accident. Yes she did say that she dreamt of becoming a celebrity when she was a child but that was it. She didn't pursue it. Maine is just a person, a simple, bubbly person. Yes, she's not perfect, like all of us, and she won't try to be just to please your ungrateful mouth.
That's what makes her a hit. Her imperfections make her relatable, like she's just one of us.
Deleteit's ironic,the more you are true to yourself the more people will like you,coz just like everybody,we are not perfect..
DeleteYou say that now kasi bago k p lang, very idealistic ka pa. But later on, u'll realize that showbiz is really showmanship. It's all for the show, to please...
ReplyDeleteWhile that is true then shouldn't we all cut her some slack for her opinion? And be the better person by not saying 'i told you so' if she is proven wrong in the future.
DeleteWe'll see
DeletePeople like you are the reason why ka-showbizan is still there. Try something new 'te. Magsasawa ka pag itlog parati ulam mo. Bacon naman next time. Gets?
DeleteHer message is exactly for people like you so please read her blog again and understand the context of her message.
DeleteShe's very fortunate that she doesn't need to kiss somebody's a%$ to be famous. She can leave showbiz anytime she wants because she has experienced being on top. She won't mind losing popularity for the sake of being a "Barbie." She's a nice person but doesn't mean she would give her full trust easily.
DeleteBeing true to herself and to others are what maine's stand for. Let's respect her and encourage everyone to do the same.
Delete6:16 she can kiss ass if she wants to sustain her fame. BUT FORTUNATELY, MAINE KNOWS HOW TO BE CONTENTED. SABI NGA NIYA HAPPY NA SIYA MAGING HOST NG EAT BULAGA FOREVER.
Delete@1:06 All is changing and moving forward, don't dwell on status quo. If someone divergent can think of a way out of the box, then let her. Innovation ang tawag dun na wala k nun.
DeleteAng sona ni meng hehe keep it up girl you're a rare gem
ReplyDeleteDigong is to politics what Menggay is to showbiz. Social Media nagluklok sa kanila sa spot nila at binasag nila ang traditional path sa pag-akyat. Parehong ayaw magconform. Maraming haters pero mas maraming avid supporters.
Delete2:28 I agree. Pareho silang kebs sa ayaw sa kanila basta sila magtatrabaho. Yung isa maglilingkod ng kapwa. Yung isa magpapasaya ng kapwa.
DeleteBut Alden is a people-pleaser. He should learn a thing or two from Maine.
ReplyDeleteYou can't say for certain that he's a people pleaser. Baka gusto lang niya lahat maayos sa mundo niya, walang conflict irritation o kung ano pa. May mga ganung tao. They both have things to learn from each other so it would be nice if people back off a bit from bashing these two kids.
DeleteHe's just too nice kasi
DeletePeople pleaser? Paano?
DeleteAlden is just being TRUE to himself too! He is inherently nice person and because of this people think that doesn't like him label him as people pleaser but if you'll ask the people he've worked with through the years he remained the same.
DeleteAlden is just being nice. Yung 5 years niya sa showbiz, marami na siyang na-encounter na tao. Iba dun, natulungan siya o nakatrabaho niya. Iba dun, na-meet na niya eg. press people. Natural lang maging nice siya sa mga taong yun. Pero di ba siya pa yung nagsasabi Kay Maine dating na showbiz is full of pretensions. So he is cautious din.
DeleteGAME CHANGER. She's very very unique. Siya lang ang ganyan.
ReplyDeleteThe smartest young actress today. She speaks her mind. Phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteboom...keep it up Menggay,so genuine our bibi..
ReplyDeleteMaine may mga nagtratraydor sayo. Ingat kayo ni Alden. Ikaw talaga gusto nila ibagsak. Nakita and narinig namin. May God guide you.Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHala. Kung meron man good luck sa kanila. Buong adn kukuyog sa kanila. Lol.
Deletehalah...kuyog yan sa ADN..Maine and RJ nandito lang kami ADN sure ka safe ka at puprotektahan kayo MaiChard
DeleteShe's very clever. I'm sure she knows that.
Delete6:31 may hugot si maine. Siguro may experience siya lately na natraydor ng kasamahan or sino man kaya nasaktan. Kawawang bata. Siya pa ngayon ang minasama.
DeleteThat's good that she's got a good on head on her shoulder, but with that said...showbiz is showbiz. It will never change. Not everyone has the same fame that she has now. Unfortunately, some talents needs to please ppl. Not just because of showbiz, but also maybe that's how they were brought up. To care about what other ppl think. It's not healthy, but it happens. When being in showbiz is your bread and butter, some ppl will do anything to maintain that. Even if that means being a ppl pleaser and kissing a$$. That's a sad fact for a lot of talents.
ReplyDeleteKung ayaw sayo, ayaw sayo. We have to admit that not everyone will like us... So bakit ka magpapakababa just to be liked?
DeleteShe didn't say she wanted to change showbizness, she just said she won't change herself.
DeleteSo young yet so eloquent & unafraid. With everything I am learning about you, the more I love, respect, &'admire you. You are a different mold indeed. Hope there will be more like you in years to come. Imagine how great showbiz world would be with more people who are real & true to self.❤️
ReplyDeleteI agree. A fresh air in the polluted showbiz world.
DeleteSo true! It shows on her previous blogs!
DeleteAng talino nya. Tama nga naman hindi mo kailangan paluguran ang tao para masabing ok ka. Kung ayaw sayo kahit anong gawin mo ayaw talaga sayo.
ReplyDeletepero mas maganda pa din ang balanse, yung may pakikisama sa showbiz ng walang halong kaplastikan. para na din sa ikatatagal ng karera nya sa showbiz.
ReplyDeleteteh totoo cya hindi cya plastik...anong pakikisama?
Delete1:32 she's actually loved by people around her... so saan ang hindi pakikisama doon? wala naman siyang binastos sa pagkakaalam ko at lahat na ma meet niya maganda naman...or does she really have to go out of her way to please everyone?
DeleteSa aking palagay yun naman ang ginagawa niya sa ngayon, ang nakikisama at d plastic. Ang ayaw lang niya siguro eh yung maraming ipinapagawa at inaasahan sa kanya nang alam niya sa sarili niyang hindi pa niya kaya at hindi bukal sa loob niyang gawin sa ngayon. Yun lang naman yata ang ibig niya pakahulugan dito.
DeleteIba ang pakikisama sa pagsisipsip, paghahabol ng mga tao lalo na yung may ayaw sayo at pagpapakitang-tao.
DeleteMagaling rin nmn makisama si meng. As far as i know, wala namang nasasabing masama tungkol sa kanya lahat ng mga nakakatrabaho nya (and that's all that matters). I think patama lang to ni meng sa writer na dapat matutunan nyang mag PR (knowing maine updated yan sa mga hanash). Jusko, gusto ata nila eh si meng ang mag reach out sa kanila at bigyan ng pa havs para lang itigil yung bad write-ups tungkol sa kanya na pati pamilya eh dinadamay.Gusto rin ata eh maki party pa sa kanila. Kaloka, hindi ko ata masisikmura yon . Ok lang sana kung paminsan minsan na paninira lang. LOL . But in maine's case halos araw araw ata may bad write-up tungkol sa kanya at pati sa tv program eh sinisiraan pa. As long as nirerespeto mo sila at wala kang masamang sinasabi o ginagawa sa kanila ok na yon.
DeleteMarunong siyang makisama pero hindi niya hahayaan na palitan noon kung sino siya.
DeleteHuwag kang masyadong defensive, 1:51. In general terms ang ibig sabihin ni 1:32. Wala siyang sinasabing plastik si Maine. Huwag kasing tunnel vision pagdating sa paga-idolize
DeleteSige... Pano ka makikisama sa mga taong nilait ka at ang buong pamilya mo ng walang halong kaplastikan, 1:32? Impossible dba? So imbes na makipagplastikan ka, wag na lang.
DeleteFYI po nakikisama sya, mapa fans, ordinaryong tao, kapwa artista o staff and crew. Kung di yan marunong makisama matagal ng maraming nagreklamo all over social media especially nowadays na lahat ng tao may socmed accnts at nakasunod sa bawat kilos nila ni A.
DeleteYung mga paimportanteng nilalang lang naman ang may reklamo.
hndi sya marunong makisama sa mga plastik,sa mga totoong tao sya nakikisama..sana nagets mo..lol
DeleteAll the while I just thought that I'm only cheering for a girl who is in the process of reaching her dreams and I end up being mentored by her. This girl is very smart and a league of her own. I'm a very proud fan of THE Maine Mendoza.
ReplyDeleteang sarap talaga para sa isang artista na nagpapaka-totoo ka lang sa lahat. malaya ka, walang dapat halikan na judas para pilit maitago ang mga lihim na nakaraan, o di kaya ay purihin ka sa mga papel na pambalot ng tinapa.
ReplyDeleteDba? Ganyan naman dapat. Wag tangkilin ang mga hudas na yan. Nagbibigay pa sila ng pangkain ng mga yan sa araw-araw kahit di nila deserve. Sabagay, may karma
DeleteWon't take a crap from anyone! Fiesty! Love you Maine!
ReplyDeleteMarami ka lang fans kaya mo nasasabi yan. Let's say konti lang fans mo, it's either you will go with the flow or nag quit ka na sa showbiz.
ReplyDeleteShe does not need showbiz nor the norms in it. Why try to fit it if you are born to stand out, yun sya. Kung di mo gets, shut up na lang
DeleteEither way I don't think it's such a big deal for her. Remember, she stumbled onto her industry via a very unusual route. At halata namang hindi niya inaasahang tatangkilikin siya ng ganito. Ilagay lang natin sa tamang konteksto.
DeleteGrabe ka naman halatang di mo sya kilala try mong mag-research para malaman mo ang mga sinasabi nya o sadyang mema ka lang kaya kung maka kuda ka dyan.
DeleteTrue.
DeleteKonti o marami ang fans nararapat lang na maging totoo tayo sa ating mga sarili. Di lahat ng bagay ay kailangan sundin o sumunod ka sa agos. Di porket yun ang nakasanayan eh kinakailangan automatic yun na din ang gagawin mo. We all have the right to choose our own path, di kailangan nakadepende sa nakasanayan lahat ng gagawin sa buhay.
DeleteDi rin naman guarantee na kung susunod sya sa agos eh totoo ang ipapakita sa kanya ng ibang tao. :-)
1:45 and 2:57, She was loved by her fans for being true to herself. Kung nag-go with the flow siya how showbiz works, she won't have many fans as she has right now. Isn't it ironic?
DeleteMarami siyang fans kasi hindi siya nag-go with the flow ng showbiz.
DeletePwede namang mag kiss ass si maine para masustain ang kasikatan niya pero contented na siya, hindi nga takot mawala ang kasikatan. Minahal siya ng tao dahil totoo siya.
DeleteMarami syang fans kasi totoong tao sya..kapag basher ka,iba talaga ang pagkaka intindi mo sa mga bagay no?tulad ni 1:45
Deletesareh..go with the flow is not her forte..she's just having fun,at marami ang natutuwa sa kanya,fyi mga bata at matatanda,they accepted her nothing less nothing more..mga insecure lng nman ang may galit sa kanya kasi bukod sa mayaman na sya,may Alden pa sya..hahaha flips hair
Delete<3 pinaka totoo sa showbiz ngayon <3
ReplyDeleteMaine hit the nail on the head when she wrote this piece! Kudos to this girl for being fearless and saying it as it is....
ReplyDeleteShe is right - why pretend when you can make it real?
The pretentiousness and fakery that is inherent in showbiz is what makes her down-to-earth character stand-out.
In other words, pretentions hides the fact that they do not have anything of substance to say.
What a refreshing insight!!!
Face palm to all haters out there! booyaaahhhHH!!!!
Love You Menggay!!!
What was the incident? And who did she talk to? Hmm
ReplyDeleteThat's beside the point really. :) it could have been anything or anyone, but her message is still true.
DeleteMaine is pointing to that one incident. I have a hint.
Delete5:50 share naman!
DeleteSmarty Pants :) luvu missy, Go Maine!
ReplyDeleteSi Maine ang tipo ng artista na napaka-simple pero sobrang talino na sa ganyang edad magugulat ka na lang naiisip nya yan in a way na mapapaisip ka rin na tama naman talaga sya kaya marami ang humahanga sayo.
ReplyDeletevery well said...malayo pa mararating mo - it will be beyond a great actress...A young lady who is very well-raised
ReplyDeleteShe's so smart. Love the way how she writes it. Love you Maine! I'm a fan ❤️
ReplyDeleteShe inspires me to be me no matter what circumstances i'll be facing in the future. Love her even more.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think I am starting to like this girl. There is something in her.
ReplyDeletemay pakikisama naman sya pero it's stupid kung ikaw yung lalapit sa taong sinisiraan family mo
ReplyDeleteUnless you are an A**hole. You need to change ☺
ReplyDeleteWow 2:15, yan lang ang napulot mo sa haba ng sinabi niya. Tsk. Reading comprehension mo kulang na kulang. Bumalik ka sa school at magaral ulit magbasa.
Deletewhy change when everybody loves you by just being you..besides you know in your heart na wala ka nman ginagawang masama,some people just hate her coz they are insecure of her..just lyk that..
Deleteyan ang aming menggay very smart and brave kay gusto ko cya first time na lumabas cya sa KS hanggang ngayon at magpakailan man..
ReplyDeleteThere's a difference between pakikisama and blind following. Show business is one of a hella crap system ... full of people well-polished outside but stinks inside. There's something wrong with the system & culture. I am so glad that Maine Mendoza chose not to to be consumed by that system, instead she defied it and spoke her mind. This girl proves that by being her true self - flawed, imperfect but striving to be better - makes her even more "human" and loved by many. You are such an inspiration to many, Maine! Keep being you! You're a good person.
ReplyDeleteKumuha ng diksyonaryo, makapagsabisabi lng ng nega mukang hindi naman naintindihan haay
ReplyDeleteThis is how you separate an EDUCATED celebrity versus...go figure :)
ReplyDeleteDumarami na din sa showbiz yung keber sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng bashers and press who don't like them. Tama yan. As long as wala kayong tinatapakang tao at madami kayong napapasaya.
ReplyDeletesome said she is brave to say it because sikat xa ngayon and she didnt go thru lyk others who kiss ass just to be recognized by the network.but for me maine is just saying that the showbiz world is full of indecent act by faking and be someone you are not just to please those people who think can make you famous.Maine is ready na mawala ung fame nya as long as her individuality and values are intact.nasa tao pa din kung nasisikmura nya ba makipagplastikan at magbayad just so hindi ka sisiraan ng mga walang credibilidad na writers sa showbiz.BE REAL or be just like one of them.salute to you maine for being so brave.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS HOW TO WRITE A BLOG POST!!!
ReplyDelete*clap clap clap*
She's 21 pero ganito na sya ka deep mag isip. I really like this girl. Hindi puro ganda may lalim.
ReplyDeletei get her and i agree na di natin ma wiwin lahat ng tao kahit pa nag effort tayo at kung ano pa. meron at meron talaga na hindi ka gusto. and that is life. kaya the only thing to do is be you. however, sa tingin ko hindi nag aapply masyado ito kung super maldita ka inside. sakit ka sa ulo sa lahat ng maka interact mo. though generally, yung "realness" of a person should be balanced din. always carry yourself with decency and respect towards every person and u are good to go. i think yung hindi nya like is yung super excessive na kaplastikan and doing things out of your character para to get ahead of the race. inch by inch if u participate, lalamunin ka ng system and u end up not knowing who you are anymore.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you read the part where she said for so long as you are doing nothing wrong? Hay naku!
Deleteso long as wala siyang ginagawang masama at wala siyang tinatapakang tao, a person should do his/her own thing.
Delete4:20 Maswerte lang at mabait si maine. You can feel na my empathy at mabait siyang tao pero hindi superficial na kabaitan.
DeleteGrabe ka Meng. Kaya Kita nagustuhan kasi naiiba ka sa lahat. Good luck sa career! Sana d ka magbago, stay grounded. Love you always.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it Maine. Actually hindi lang sa showbiz pwede i-apply to also in real life!
ReplyDeleteMaine, since you started naging idol na kita. Super na inspire mo kasi ako na kahit wildest dream pala pwede pa din magkatotoo like what happend to you.
I wonder how A felt about this.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not Maine, so I'll just keep wondering.
M said, A will always be part of her heart no matter where they end up, I don't think she will do this to someone who's been a part of her life and career
DeleteA will love Maine more...GANOIN!
Deletedepende. Kung feeling ni Alden tinamaan siya, siyempre hindi magiging okay sa kanya.
Delete6:02 what A feels about all these, we will never know. That young man has been an enigma for me a few weeks after Aldub. Either he is too private or a man of no conviction.Has he ever replied to something that is straight to the point? It might also be that he has been too PR-trained over the years in showbiz. But while this blog is all Maine, we cannot not include Alden since he is the closest person to her in showbiz. Yes, tho we will never know what A thinks becuz we are not M, let us hope he is happy, proud, & above all respectful of Maine. 🌺
DeleteThing is though, the "real selves" of other celebrities are difficult to love kasi masama talaga ang ugali nila. So maybe my takeaway from this post is be yourself but always, always strive to be better.
ReplyDeleteTo add, be better for the right reasons, not just to please people and get their favor.
Deletekung wala ka nman gingawang masama,why worry..just continue what you're doing and let the haters hate..
DeleteMaine in her IG post stated that she's trying to be better. Good thing, maine is mabait na dati pa. JUAN SARTE and CELESTE TUVIERA SAID IN AN INTERVIEW SA MAG NA MAINE IS REAL AND GENUINE. Sila pa nga daw ang feeling artista.
DeleteWe love you Maine. This is the reason why we adore you becuase we know that you are real and smart.
ReplyDeleteMaine is talking about herself and her opinion. She's not telling the people in the industry to make a change. I remember Marian Rivera before was also attacked by many showbiz press for her personality like maldita, snobbed, talakera, doesn't speak English well but she didn't mind of all of them and look where she is now and how is she loved by Dingdong. I'm sure Alden and Maine understands each other and they are Happy together. They are just being themselves on how they deal with people. Yang mga tabloid writers kung ayaw niyo sa isang tao hwag niyo ng aksayahan ng panahon. Kayo naman ang nagpapansin Eh. Lalo ng Yang shriek at jobert. Akala mo gaano kalinis ang budhi Kung makapanlait. Pwe!
ReplyDeleteVery well said....
ReplyDeleteLook, if Maine did that thing that they wanted her to do that is against her will... ang sasabihin lang ng mga tao e "ay, showbiz na si Maine." A little of her shine will be gone because that is one of the things that people love about her. Hindi siya showbiz. Admit it, you will be a little bit disappointed if she did that.
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteDont ever ever change Menggay!!
ReplyDeleteang galing. agree!
ReplyDeleteMAINE. . . A TOAST TO YOUR FEARLESS DISPLAY OF WISDOM, MATURITY AND INSIGHT FOR SOMEONE SO YOUNG (21). TO HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE THAT OTHERS TAKES A LIFETIME TO FIGURE OUT - WOWWW!!! YOU ARE WISE BEYOND YOUR YEARS, YOUR THOUGHTS MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE, AND YOUR REFLECTIONS ARE ON POINT. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INSTINCT, AND QUESTION WHAT OTHERS BLINDLY FOLLOW...
ReplyDeleteALDUBNATION. . . A STAR IS BORN!!!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
well, she can say these words fearlessly kasi she can walk away from showbiz anytime she wants. mayaman siya so hindi nya kailangang makisama sa ibang tao. she's lucky but not everyone in the showbusiness is as lucky as her. may iba kailangang mag pretend so they can stay in the business kasi ito ang bread and butter nila. well kudos to her for staying true to herself. sana mapanindigan nya yan kapag lumamlam na ang kinang niya. you know fame can be addicting.
ReplyDeleteAdmire her courage to express her thoughts about showbiz. Every words she said is on point. Maine is considered still a newbie but she change the route to stardom taking away the traditions that's been destroying the moral fibers of the industry.
ReplyDeleteMaine, seek the guidance of your family especially your parents to be more successful and happy. Higit sa lahat magdasal ka lagi maine.
ReplyDeleteMeng, we are all clamoring for a book from you, but we know how busy you are. Pls. Publish a collection of your blogs to start with. like Wil Wheaton's Just A Geek. You have very good blogs.
ReplyDeleteYes she need's not to please others if she 's not that of a person. She just want to be real.as long as she doesn't do something wrong to anybody else..The more I admire for.that .
ReplyDeleteReading her post, i admit nagulat ako. For her stature, I thought she would now play it safe and not "rock the boat". But as you can see, she writes her observation with a keen eye and a truthful perception. Napa-isip tuloy ako na ang batang ito ay may sariling prinsipyo sa buhay. Sa totoo lang, anyone from showbiz who will read this post will feel the "heat" but she writes it anyway. I think Maine is a good person at heart, and what she's trying to point out is don't change so others will accept you, specially if it conflicts with your own values. Maraming tao sa showbiz na pumapasok at binabago ang sarili para sa kasikatan - Yes, sisikat ka nga, but at what expense? Ngayon kung mabait ka naman at wala kang tinatapakan na tao, then mas panatag ang loob mo at wala kang dapat ikatakot. Kung hindi ka man maging sikat, at least nagpakatotoo ka sa sarili mo. Kung magbabago ka man, it is to make yourself a better person in order to humble yourself. The Lesson to learn on this is: Don't sell yourself to the devil because it will cost more than you bargained for.
