MANILA, Philippines – Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza and Alodia Gosiengfiao lived every little girl’s dream of becoming a Disney priness – at least, for a day. (IN PHOTOS: Kim Chiu as Mulan, Sarah G as Rapunzel for Disney)
Maine, who shot to stardom following the popularity of Eat Bulaga‘s AlDub tandem, is on the 2016 Disney Channel Calendar as Elsa from Disney’s Frozen.
Maine is on the February page, dressed in a shorter version of the ice queen’s gown. The calendar’s short bio lists her achievements in showbiz in the short span of time she’s been in the industry, saying: “[Maine] is not afraid to let it go and scale new heights when performing. Like Elsa, she’s embracing her talent and looking for ways to break new ground.”
Another Filipino personality, Cosplay Queen Alodia Gosiengfiao, is featured for the month of May. “She shares a curiosity and love for adventure just like Alice from Wonderland,” says the short description of Alodia on the May page.
Elsa is from Disney’s Frozen, which was released in 2013. Alice Through the Looking Glass, on the other hand, is a sequel to 2010’s Alice in Wonderland, and is set to be released this May 2016. Both Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass are based on Lewis Caroll’s classics.
Disney released the calendar on their website, and a couple of behind-the-scenes videos from the shoots too – check some of them out below:
