The Puregold Channel’s digital series “Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask” has taken the online world by storm. The funny and heartwarming love story of Malta and Sieg, played by Herlene Budol and Joseph Marco, respectively, has created a massive fan base among Filipino romcom fans all over the world.
Its most recent episode turned into a cliffhanger as Malta bailed on their first face-to-face date, leaving Sieg frustrated and heartbroken. With their story taking a provocative turn, the show’s ever growing fanbase is speculating about what’s to come next.
Episode 6 ends with Sieg extremely upset about being ghosted by Malta–and turning to drink that night. Fans now wonder: could Malta’s latest caper drive an inebriated Sieg back into the arms of his ex?
Some viewers theorize that Madam Baby is simply using Malta and Sieg’s budding romance to rev up fans’ interest in her life. Perhaps she’s the puppet master pulling all the strings.
After all, wasn’t it Madam Baby who sweet-talked Malta into confessing her feelings for Sieg in Episode 5?
If feelings of insecurity are standing between Malta and her happiness, could turning to plastic surgery solve her problem? The big question would then be: but can Malta afford it?
With a sudden cash windfall perhaps? Or an enamored and wealthy Sieg paying for it?
Another possible outcome is that a third party swoops in. It has been shown that Trina has the hots for Sieg, who could be feeling vulnerable at the moment. With Trina using all the tricks she knows, it could even lead to wedding bells.
However, the most popular ending theory is the one romcom fans clamor for. As crazy love stories go, Sieg can see past Malta’s antics and understand where she’s coming from. Love can finally bloom and grow–unrestrained.
To see how their love story unravels, watch for the forthcoming episodes of “Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask,” showing on Saturdays, at 7 PM, on the official YouTube Puregold Channel.
