In October 2017, she released her first autobiographical book entitled Yup, I Am That Girl., which is an unfiltered version of her personal blog Pessimistic Optimist Bella.
Her popularity is often described as phenomenal and unconventional due to the unscripted forming of AlDub love team in Eat Bulaga! on July 16, 2015, where she was paired with the handsome actor Alden Richards.
“AlDub” is a portmanteau of Richards’ first name, Alden and Maine’s character in “Kalyeserye”, Yaya Dub. A lot of Filipino admired them and loved them so much for the waves of laughter, good vibes, and the inspiration they brought to many Filipino people all over the world.

It was also believed that Maine came from an upper-middle class family who can easily and conveniently send her to one of the most expensive schools in the Philippines.

Opening a franchise of a famous quick service restaurant like McDonald’s means that you have 30-50 million pesos capital for that franchise alone.
