This year saw the pair make their primetime TV debut in their teleserye, Destined to Be Yours, which aired from February to May. The onscreen couple also began to venture into their own products, with Alden performing in his first solo concert, and Maine launching her book and debuting on the Bench runway sans partner.

Maine – who recently went viral for penning a brutally honest open letter to her fans about her showbiz journey – is also the sole Filipino on Twitter’s list of most tweeted celebs in the world.
