Ay wow! i guess this is a good thing, they're making AKB48 more known and with that comes MNL48's legitimacy, because not everyone here in PH knows how big 48G is

Di ako makapaniwala na ABSCBN ang bumalita nito hahaha sana din po sa MNL48 naman sa susunod heheh

mnl48weibo Shookt ako na May article kayo on this 😅 mnl48 mnl48official

Be ready for mnl48official general elections a huge opportunity for ABSCBN to be on the spotlight if things are done correctly.

'She was often in the top rank of the annual popularity vote, one of the perks being that one can appear in the next AKB48 single.' it's not a perk, it is the main reason why the election is being held in the first place, to elect the participating members of the next single.

The legendary mayuyu will remain in our hearts. now its time for MNL48 to be legendary like their senpais who graduated from akb and retired. *kibouteki refrain intensifies* the passing of mics 😢😢 MNL48 ll mnl48official

MNL48 will continue their senpai's legacy MNL48 AKB48 mnl48official
