AJ Perez and MMK, trending topics on Twitter

AJ Perez' MMK episode entitled "Tsinelas", his last MMK appearance, was certainly among the most-watched episodes of the Philippines' longest-running drama anthology program.

No rating figures yet, but the fact that AJ Perez and MMK were among the Top 10 trending topics on Twitter during its airing, not only in the Philippines but also worldwide, was enough proof that many people tuned in to watch AJ's last acting portrayal.

The hashtag #ajperezmmk was the first to trend at 8PM, and then "MMK" followed an hour later.

#ajperezmmk was the #1 trending topic in the Philippines (Yeah, it was #1. Ignore that promoted #NFLDraft term) and then the phrase "Watching MMK" also made it as a trending topic peaking at #6.

In the worldwide trends, #ajperezmmk peaked at #2 and then MMK ranked 8th.

#ajperezmmk was able to trend worldwide for 2 hours.

It's been a long time since a term or terms related to MMK trended worldwide on Twitter. I think the last time was during Coco Martin's MMK appearance in November6, 2010. Coco Martin, who played a star witness with a mental disability in that episode, was among Twitter's trending topics during that time.

AJ PEREZ' FAMILY AND GF THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT
AJ Perez' younger brother Gello was actively posting on Twitter via (@gelloperez) before and during the airing of AJ's MMK episode.

Before it aired, he tweeted: "Let's make my brother's mmk high rated! STAY TUNED! =)))"

And the moment #ajperezmmk made it as among the top trending topics, he immediately thanked the fans on behalf of the Perez family. "Thank you guys so much for making #ajperezmmk one of the popular topics in twitter!!!! The Perez family is sooo thankful! =)"

He later posted how proud he was for his Kuya. "So proud of my brother @ajperez17! He is such a great actor! #ajperezmmk."

Just like Gello, AJ Perez' girlfriend Steph Ayson also making tweets about AJ and his MMK episode:

@stephayson: "In the process of making MMK, AJ made me promise him I'd watch. He was so proud of his last work. I'm keeping my promise. #AJPEREZMMK"

@stephayson: "So proud of you. @ajperez17 #ajperezmmk"

@stephayson: "You're still very much alive to me. I hope you can feel how proud I am of you up there in heaven. @ajperez17 #ajperezmmk"

And then she later tweeted a photo of her and friend Raymond Canteras, who's also AJ's friend, classmate and basketball teammate at La Salle Green Hills. According to Steph, it was Raymond who introduced her to AJ.

@stephayson: The famous "common friend" who introduced me to AJ. Meet @raymondcanteras!!

AJ Perez life story on MMK April 30 episode | Plus AJ Perez' "lasts"

AJ Perez has finished an episode for MMK days before he died Sunday morning, April 17, in a car accident.



The said MMK episode will be aired this coming April 30.

AJ Perez was so excited about it that he kept on promoting it on Twitter.

Last night, about 3 hours before his death, when AJ learned that the teaser for it was already shown on TV, he immediately posted a tweet asking his Twitter followers how was it.

ajperez17: "Pinalabas na daw yung teaser ng mmk? Who saw it? How was it? :)"

And based on the teaser, AJ will play a really challenging role which could earn him praises and possibly, an acting nomination at least.

Co-starring with AJ in the said MMK episode is child star Bugoy Carino.

MMK writer Benson Logronio who wrote that particular episode said on Twitter earlier that AJ is gonna touch our hearts in his MMK portrayal, "AJ Perez breathed life to 1 of the 2 main characters of the latest ep I wrote for MMK. It's his curtain call on April 30. He'll make us cry."

It will be AJ's last portrayal, his last MMK episode and his last TV appearance.

As an added treat to his fans, ABS-CBN Channel 2 announced on its official Twitter page (@ABSCBNchannel2) that AJ's life story will also be featured this coming April 30 on MMK, "Aj Perez lifestory will be featured in MMK, this coming April 30. :'(( We love you Aj!! :( we all miss you!!!!"

[Latest Update, April 28: ABSCBNchannel2 apologizes for the wrong tweet, "our apologies, hindi talaga sya life story ni Aj, ginampanan lang nya yung role nya doon :)"]

Let's all watch MMK's episode on April 30 featuring AJ Perez as it will be the last time that we're gonna see him on TV.
