How Maine Mendoza Met Her 23rd Birthday

On March 3, Maine Mendoza, aka Yaya Dub, turned 23. She celebrated with her family, “Eat Bulaga” family, showbiz and non-showbiz friends. But the fun did not stop there. She held a legendary “How I Met Your Mother” themed party on March 11. Family, friends, and some supporters got to enjoy a legen-wait-for-it-dary night with the birthday girl. From yellow umbrellas to a “How I Met Your Mother” screening, Nicomaine Mendoza had an epic night.

Maine Mendoza rose to fame as Yaya Dub on the noontime show Eat Bulaga. She initially embodied a funny, over-acting, but quiet maid of Wally Bayola’s Lola Nidora. Her career skyrocketed when she met her love team partner, Alden Richards. Aside from her hosting gig on “Eat Bulaga,” she’s now also an actress for GMA.

3. Partied in a limousine

Maine and some friends took the party outside to a limo, minus the driver Ranjit.

4. Her cake was New York and The Playbook

Even her cake was extra. With the Playbook, in reference to Barney’s Playbook, as a base, the silhouette of the city of New York decorated her cake.

Happy Birthday, @mainedcm 💛 For three straight years I’ve wished you genuine happiness and peace of mind. I’m adding one more wish to the list this year. As what barney said, “No matter what you do in this life, it’s not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.” No matter where your career takes you, no matter how much you achieve in this life, none of it will ever matter when you are not with the people you love. I pray that you will always be surrounded with family and friends who love and support you always. Cheers to more legendary nights ✨🍍🥂☂️ #MaineLegendary23
