News circulating online that presidential candidate Mar Roxas was rejected by AlDub, when his camp allegedly attempted to hire the supercouple to endorse him for the coming elections. Report said Mar tried to hire AlDub for P100 million, but the latter rejected the offer.

In a GMA news interview, Alden Richards confirmed that there are candidates who offered them for their services, but the couple just ignored them.

Sen. Tito Sotto confirmed that the supercouple is not allowed to endorse any candidate regardless of position on the coming 2016 presidential elections.

Meanwhile, Vice President Jejomar Binay offered interest in hiring the couple for his campaign.

“ALDUB!”, VP Jejomar Binay answered with conviction when he was asked who he would like as celebrity endorsers for the coming 2016 elections.

The presidential candidate is much aware of the fame and love received by the most unexpected love team of Eat Bulaga. He has caught the Kalyeserye a few times on TV and he knows that AlDub has millions of fans of Twitter.

He even joked that he wants Alden Richards to portray him if his life story becomes a movie. When someone from the press objected that Alden is too fair-skinned to play Binay, he just said “Pwede na ‘yon. Nakukulayan naman eh.” [That’s alright. We can put makeup.] He said there is nothing impossible for film. Color is never an issue.

Sotto said Monday that GMA 7 talent Alden Richards and YouTube star Maine Mendoza, aka “Yaya Dub,” will not stump for him when he runs for another term in the Senate.

Why? Sotto said he wanted to be seen as a serious candidate.

“I am setting the example so that politicians will know we mean it. And we do not want our Dabarkads (gang) to be politicized,” said Sotto. Before going into politics, he was part of the popular comedy trio of Tito, Vic and Joey, the main hosts of the longtime GMA 7 noontime show “Eat Bulaga,” now known as “EB.”

To those candidates who are dreaming to be a part of Aldub’s fame, sorry folks – sometimes, there are things money can’t buy.
