Though already a star in her own right, Maine Mendoza couldn’t help but still get starstruck, as when she had a brief but “kilig” connection with The Script during the group’s concert in Manila last Saturday, April 14.
The Script packed the Mall of Asia Arena as the trio performed for the fourth time in the Philippines for its “Freedom Child” tour. Mendoza, a true-blue fan, sat — for the most part, sang and danced — in the VIP section. She also watched the band last 2015 for their “No Sound Without Silence” tour.
“Nagwawala lang ako (I was going crazy) the whole time and IT WAS SO WORTH IT,” Mendoza shared of her concert experience in an Instagram post. Her Instagram Stories show her singing every lyric to each performance.

The “Eat Bulaga” host also recalled a dreamy encounter with vocalist Danny O’Donoghue caught on video.

“Ganda ka (You think you’re pretty)?” character Regina George asks Cady Heron, as dubbed by Facebook user Macoy Averilla.
While Mendoza won’t allow the moment to get to her head, she gushed, “THIS IS ONE HELL OF A NIGHT!!!” JB
