In her Twitter post after the show, Maine thanked the millions of Filipinos who had showed their unending love and support for the Kalyeserye.

“Maraming salamat po at huwag sana kayong magsawang suportahan ang Eat Bulaga at ang Kalyeserye. Wala kaming ibang hangarin kundi magbigay ng saya sa inyong mga manonood. Hindi kami aabot sa ganito kung hindi dahil sa inyo kaya buong puso ako nagpapasalamat. Maraming, maraming salamat po! Aldub you all!!!” said Maine.

Alden, meanwhile, seemed like he was still reeling from happiness when he posted in Instagram a photo with Maine during their second date.

“Our first picture together,” said Alden in the caption.
