Maine Mendoza wins Favorite Pinoy Personality

Maine Mendoza’s phenomenal appeal reigned supreme at Nickelodeon’s 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards as she wins the Favorite Pinoy Personality Award. The other half of the sensational AlDub tandem joins the roster of Adele, Jenifer Lawrence, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Fifth Harmony, among others, to bring home coveted orange blimps that represent the best of everything that kids love in pop culture.

“Yaya Dub” extended her gratitude in a video message saying that it was such an honor to receive the award, and that she is very grateful to everyone who voted for her despite not being present at the awards show to personally receive it. Apart from Maine, fellow Filipino and basketball star player, JeronTeng, beats other international nominees in the new Favorite Asian Sports Star category.

The Kids’ Choice Awards held at the “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, California, and hosted by country music superstar and coach on NBC’s The Voice, Blake Shelton, premiered March 14 in Nickelodeon Asia. It kicked off with host, Shelton, getting pep talks from celebrity friends including Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Chewbacca and BB-8. After being alerted that the Stormtroopers were trying to take over the 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards, Shelton jumped into action and battled his way onto the show stage via a super-charged chair from The Voice.

During the show,  singer-songwriter  Charlie  Puth  and  hip-hop  star  Wiz  Khalifa  performed  a  medley  of  “One  Call Away”  and  “See  You  Again,”  right  before  taking  home  the  blimp  for  Favorite  Collaboration.  Rapper Silento appeared  as well  to  sing  his  mega-hit  “Watch  Me  (Whip/NaeNae),”   and  DNCE  closed  the show with a performance of their chart-topping single “Cake by the Ocean”, that culminated with an ultimate  slime-dousing of the audience.

The 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards proved to be a mega slime fest, from kids in the audience awarding Shelton with an epic  finale  sliming,  to  Jace  Norman  dumping  a  bucket  of  green  goo  on  John  Stamos,  to  Fifth  Harmony  getting drenched after their win for Favorite Music Group, and Shelton welcoming Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad to the green side.

Additional celebrities in attendance included:  Robert Downey Jr., Amy Poehler, Rob Gronkowski, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris  Evans,  Meghan  Trainor,  Fifth  Harmony,  Heidi  Klum,  Keke  Palmer,  Anthony  Anderson,  John  Stamos,  Chloe Bennet,  Buddy  Valastro,  Sarah  Hyland,  Dove  Cameron,  Grant  Gustin,  Laura  Marano,  Zendaya,  Will  Arnett,  Debby Ryan,  and  cast  members  from  Dance  Moms,  plus  stars  of  Nickelodeon’s  hit  series  Game  Shakers  (Kel  Mitchell, Benjamin Flores Jr., Cree Cicchino, Madisyn Shipman, Thomas Kuc) and The Thundermans (Jack Griffo and Kira Kosarin).

Kids  and  families  cast  votes  in  22  categories,  including  two  new  ones,  Favorite  Cooking  Show  and  Favorite Collaboration.  In Asia, Nickelodeon introduced the Favorite  Asian  Sports  Star  category, in which Jeron Teng  was the winner. The fans were able  to  vote  for  their  top  picks across  all  of  Nickelodeon’s  digital  platforms including KCA2016.com and Twitter using #KCA.

Best friends LOVI and HEART campaigned in Ilocos

The Lovi Poe-Heart Evangelista tandem, avid supporters of Senators Grace Poe and Francis “Chiz” Escudero are all set to join the candidates’ campaign sorties. First stop: Ilocos Norte.

The Poes and Escuderos treat each other like family, and Lovi and Heart are the best of friends.

Lovi and Heart were excited when they found out they would be together in Ilocos. Heart had gone to Davao, Bacolod, and Cebu, but it was Lovi’s first time to join her sister’s campaign sortie.

They even posted photos on their respective Instagram accounts. The two were wearing identical shirts embroidered with “Poe” and “Escudero” and printed with “Say Chiz.”

Also, the best friends posed for a photo with Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos and immediately posted it on their Instagram accounts.

Many are wondering why they posed with a Marcos when in fact they’re from different political parties.

“Politics should not be bitter or acrimonious. Took a pic with Imee Marcos before leaving for #Laoag to campaign #PoeEscudero2016. I’d like to think this world would be a better place if we can all do the same,” Heart captioned the photo on Instagram.

“Indeed the world would be a better place if we were all friendly and nice to each other. Took a photo with Ms. Imee. #PoeEscudero2016,” Lovi posted as well.
