and highlighted the no-restrictions[a] meeting of the love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, known as AlDub.
The event experienced high demand immediately after the concert's announcement, with ticket sales amounting to ₱14 million.
The commercial-free broadcast garnered high ratings in Mega Manila and nationally, according to multiple television measurement firms, and beat its competition—the 6th anniversary of It's Showtime—by a wide margin.
Suddenly, Frankie Arenolli arrives, wearing an outfit filled with logos of known sponsors of the event, while Yaya Dub and Alden run away.
He further explained that the special event, which Lola Nidora called "Tamang Panahon", was for a cause and 100% of the ticket sales would go to the construction of AlDub libraries that would benefit three elementary schools.
[9] At 10 am, a pre-show began, including front act performances and other activities[10][11] that were hosted by Valeen Montenegro and Jerald Napoles.
[19] This event was hosted by its regular hosts, including headliners Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon[13] as well as Ryan Agoncillo, Michael V., Allan K., Jimmy Santos, Anjo Yllana, Pauleen Luna, Julia Clarete, Sam YG, Patricia Tumulak, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros, Ryzza Mae Dizon, and Baste Granfon.
[13] The show started as Wally Bayola's Lola Nidora character entered the premises of the Philippine Arena through a helicopter.
[10] Later on, the highlight of the event, the meeting of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub (the character of Maine Mendoza), followed as they performed Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and Bryan White's "God Gave Me You".
[10] Yaya Dub, who usually lip synced songs and film lines and did not actually speak in the previous episodes of the "Kalyeserye" segment, spoke for the first time in this event.
[10] Aside from song and dance numbers, there were also "Kalyeserye" skits, which included Bayola switching between portrayals of his three characters: Lola Nidora, DuhRizz, and Rihanna.
[20] Frankie Arenolli, one of Jose Manalo's characters, performed a dance number at the end of the show where his outfit was filled with logos of advertisers.
[27] Two months after the event was aired, some of the AlDub libraries were already fully constructed in the schools at Laguna, Capiz, and Iligan City.
[3] In Mega Manila, "Tamang Panahon" drew a higher audience share than the 2014 Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II fight[31] and was the highest-rated daytime show episode of 2015.
[33] Liz Uy of Stylized Studio, who was hired as wardrobe stylist for the show, made a statement regarding the gown.
She argued that the producers of Eat Bulaga!, TAPE Inc., purchased the gown from Francis Libiran and had chosen it to fit the Cinderella-themed event.
[34] Libiran stated that Chiu had worn the gown in a 2013 fashion show, that he had made replicas for other, lower-profile clients, and that Mendoza's was custom-tailored for her.
host Allan K. also asked on Twitter not to make an issue of the gown, since Libiran had already released a statement on its history.
