Her Dubsmash skills were noticed by the folks from the long-running noontime show Eat Bulaga. She is currently part of the segment Juan for All, All For Juan with Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo and Paolo Ballesteros.
For the past weeks, TV viewers and social media users have been talking about the storyline on the show’s segment about Yaya Dub and Alden Richards.

Fans are now tuning in to see whether Alden will be able to meet Yaya Dub. Recently, a 4-year-old girl named Asha Gomez was in the news when her video was uploaded online. Asha was in tears after Lola Nidora put Yaya Dub in prison to prevent her from meeting Alden.
Upon hearing the girl’s video, Maine took to Twitter to assure Asha that Yaya Dub will fight back.
