Mainenamahal: Bohol’s entry to Eat Bulaga’s AlDub contest

In support for the even more expanding influence of split-screen loveteam of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza aka Yaya Dub, Eat Bulaga has launched a songwriting contest for AlDub-inspired songs to encourage more fans and aspiring musicians to join in and show their unique and creative musicality.

Composer Ralp Maligro

Song writer, composer and arranger Ralp Maligro, who was the grand winner of 2015 Sandugo festival song writing competition, composed and wrote a new song dedicated for AlDub.

Ralp, a certified AlDub fan, penned and composed the song “Mainenamahal.” It was interpreted by Ma. Charmaign Bagotchay, former hotelier and singer of defunct GMA Cebu’s Singgit Cebu.

Charmaign was Miss Bohol National High School Personality 1997 titleholder and former member of the Bukang Liwayway Dance Troupe.

“The song moves me. You can feel the song because of its lyrics and melody,” she told VRS on Saturday.

The song really has a touch of AlDub as it contains words or phrases such as Mainenamahal (I love you) Ma-Alden kita  (mahal din kita or I love you, too), among others.

Ang masilayan ka sa bawat sandali langit ang aking nadarama
Sulyap ng iyong mata, at ngiti mong kay ngiti tanging hanap tuwina
Ohhhh...
Parang panaginip na ayaw kung magising
Isang hiling ko lang ay may happy ending.

Lahat ay gagawin para lang sa iyo
Gaano man ka hirap ang mga pagsubok
Di ba sinsbi mong ako’y maine mahal mo na
Kasi mahal na Maalden din kita.

For Ma. Charmaign Bagotchay, who interprets
 the song “Mainemahal,” says AlDub
 has inspired people and fans alike
 in introducing new
songs as another big push for OPM industry.  

Puso ko’y binihag mo tuluyan nang nahuhulog sa iyo
Pag-ibig na nga ba nga itong nararamdaman ko?
Ika’y biyayang hatid ng langit
Ang sinisigaw ng aking puso
Maine-namahal ko.


“Simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... I think i'm in love again..hahahaahaha.. Congratulations mami.. Super duper good job...Super proud friend here... :),” commented SassyxianTere on Youtube.

Ralp, who is based in United Arab Emirates, is now working for another  AlDub song “Bae” to be interpreted by Charmaign.
