Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza performed a new version of the song "Imagine You And Me," which is also the title of their latest movie.
The AlDub love team sang the Tagalog version of the song during the July 14 episode of Eat Bulaga to mark their tandem's 52nd weeksary.
EB Dabarkads Joey de Leon wrote the Tagalog lyrics of the song which Maine originally wrote in English.
Joey said he hoped that AlDub Nation would like the translation he did for the song.
He wrote on Twitter: "Sa Aldubnation at lahat ng tagasubaybay ng Eat Bulaga, sana po ay naibigan nyo Tagalog lyrics #ALDUB52ndWeeksary"
