Each AlDub episode’s hash tag has trended on Twitter in the Philippines and worldwide with the episode of Alden and Yaya Dub’s meeting gaining more than 5 million tweets. This is historical because even the Pope’s visit had only more than 3.3 million tweets.
The TV ratings also boosted the noon time show to unreachable heights for the competing TV channel, ABS-CBN.
