Ang Kalyeserye ay patuloy pong magbibigay ng daan [upang] makapagbahagi ng mga tamang asal, kabutihang asal, at pagmamahal sa kapwa at pagmamahal sa Diyos. Maraming, maraming salamat po,” said Wally in character as Lola Nidora.

(The Kalyeserye will continue to pave the way to impart good values, good conduct, love for others, and love for God. Thank you very much.)

Mendoza, who barely speaks in the Kalyeserye series, surprised the crowd when she spoke to thank everyone. 

Para po sa inyong lahat ito,” said Mendoza to a cheering crowd. (This is for all of you.) 

Also given recognition was the AlDub Nation team of fans, for “helping spread the Kalyeserye’s values online through inspirational posts and tweets,” according to the event’s host. 

PASSIONATE FANS. The AlDub Nation was also given recognition for ‘helping spread the Kalyeserye’s values online through inspirational posts and tweets.’

Di namin inexpect na makukuha namin ang award, we’re very thankful,” says AlDub fan Kesha Nica Rivera who’s one of the many members of a big network of fans who help make AlDub trend every day. (We didn’t expect that we would receive this award, we’re very thankful.)

YouthPinoy’s officer-in-charge April Frances “Sky” Ortigas explained that they are giving recognition to the Kalyeserye series for their work “sharing traditional values such as waiting for the right time for true love, the culture of courting, chivalry, modesty, chastity, et cetera.”

Hindi lang sila (they are not only) entertainers, they also impart values that we all want all Filipinos, especially the young, to have,’ says Ortigas.

 

 

Also shown in the event was a trailer of a Kalyeserye animated series.
