Fans of real-life sweethearts Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza got excited upon knowing that the phenomenal love team were in Bohol Thursday to shoot for a movie they will be part of.
Alden and Maine, collectively known as Aldub, arrived at Tagbilaran Airport on Thursday at around 11:30 a.m. together with comedian Vic Sotto.
They were mobbed by fans waiting for them outside the airport to have a glimpse and dream photo-op moments with them.
They are in Bohol for the taping of "Enteng Kabisote 10, The Abangers,” the Vic Sotto-starrer which is vying a slot at this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.
Alden had just arrived from a weekend concert in London on Wednesday night but right away joined the rest of the “Enteng Kabisote” cast on their Bohol trip.

The whole team led by Director Tony Reyes met Bohol Gov. Edgar Chatto in Panglao town for a courtesy call.
Bohol, according to a Very Reliable Source (VRS), was the only pick as the perfect location for the plot of the movie.
Another VRS said, the movie will feature Bohol's famous scenic spots in the movie.
Chatto said he is very excited for Bohol to be featured in a movie blockbuster franchise.
It is not yet known what would be the love team’s roles in the movie. But there are more twists, surprises and ‘kilig’ moments from the love team.
In Bohol, people saw how Maine was “maalaga” to Alden.
“They are very sweet talaga kahit offcam,” said VRS who saw the two strolling on the beach.
During their Loboc River cruise, it was Maine who brought food for Alden. At Sagbayan Peak, the lovers were mesmerized by the grandeur of the Chocolate Hills.

“Panak yung hawak ni Alden kay Maine, so sweet like the Chocolate Hills,” said VRS.
Other cast members of the "Enteng Kabisote 10” are Pauleen Luna (who arrived on Friday), Ken Chan, Bea Binene, Ryza Cenon, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola and Paolo Ballesteros, among others.
Aldub’s first movie was “My Bebe Love,” top billed by Vic Sotto and Ai-ai delas Alas. This year, they starred in their own film Imagine You and Me.
Alden and Maine became a social media sensation in 2015 when the latter was introduced as a flinty nanny with an amazing talent in dubsmash. After several twists and turns, their love story rose to stardom until the Kalyeserye sweethearts were officially in a relationship.
