How it affects the society The viewers, fans, bashers, are formed by the society. Just look at Kathniel, Kimxi, Julquen, Majong fans, their huge popularity is beyond a+mazing! A successful team up is usually being measured depending on their fan basis. “They should be living role models. They’re public figures so anyone can see or judge them,” said Dr. Buenaventura. So imagine if there’s an issue about third party, people will be practical and thought, “karapat-dapat ba silang idolohin?” Because some people would think if you admire this celebrity, it just shows who you really are. Love teams rule local soap operas and movies here in the country. Nonetheless, successful love teams, on and off cam, earns fan worships and makes blockbuster hits out of the movies they star in. We may or may not find the answer why they are popular and love teams may vanish but it doesn’t change the fact that it touched and moved our lives. AshRald (Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson) I interviewed Paolo Mendoza, 18 years old, and a member of AshRald. He started liking and supporting AshRald when they had their first movie “Won’t a Last a Day without You”. At first he’s just a fan of Sarah Geronimo, alone. But when he had the chance to meet with Gerald Anderson, he enjoyed it. “Hindi mo ramdam na si Gerald Anderson yun kasi parang tropa tropa lang kayo”, Paolo said. He used to cut class and give luxurious gifts just to express his love to the couple. And he also shared that it’s fulfilling and inspiring to have a moment with Sarah and Gerald. In terms of showbiz without loveteams, Pinoys are known to be the ‘hopeless romantic’ audiences, “Gusto nila lagi silang kinikilig…”, he said “lahat naman tayo dream na magkaroon ng happy ending.” he added. KathNiel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla) Rhenn Nisperos, 19, a true blood KathNiel fan. She is a proud member of KathNiel KaDreamers World. She started liking the hit loveteam when she saw them in the ‘Ulan’ Station ID of ABS CBN last 2011, and she instantly fell in love with them and want to see more. She enumerated the support she gave for the said loveteam. “I religiously watched ALL their shows, bought almost all the magazines which have a feature about them, I bought also Daniel’s albums and merchandises, I help to keep them trend in twitter and always help to win in all polls.” Rhenn said that Kathryn and Daniel is her happy pill or – Happiness. And when I asked her about showbiz can’t live without loveteams, she gave me an honest idea: “I think it can survive naman, it’s just that it would be less entertaining and maybe it wouldn’t have the same following as it has now.” Photo by: google images 95
