PABEBE


What is the pabebe?

It means to act cute, like a baby.

Where did it come from?

From a love story.
In Filipino popular culture, when a man and woman get together they are called a “love team”. Right now in the Philippines, Alden Richards, a young television actor, and Maine Mendoza, AKA Yaya Dub, who is famous on the internet for doing dubsmash and has one of the fastest-growing followings on Twitter, are the love team many people are rooting for. And AlDub, as the couple are known, had a huge part in popularising the pabebe wave.
A few months ago, the pair appeared on Eat Bulaga, a popular TV show, with Richards on video link and Mendoza in the studio. When she muddled her dubbing, the show hosts noticed the spark between the two and asked Mendoza to acknowledge Richards. That’s when Mendoza dropped the pabebe wave, and that is why it is now a thing.

Who is doing the pabebe?

Who’s not doing the pabebe?
Whether it’s an IRL (“in real life”) relationship or fictional, set up by the reality TV show, isn’t the point: the love team, along with their now signature wave, went viral in the Philippines.
