Top 5 'Ang Babae Sa Likod Ng Face Mask' fan theories

Published Jul 21, 2022 03:45 pm
Madam Baby remains a supportive presence in Malta’s life.

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. Will Sieg ever forgive Malta for her alibis and lies?

With their story taking a provocative turn, the show’s ever growing fanbase is speculating about what’s to come next. Here are just five of our favorite theories . . .

Sieg has been speaking with Malta entirely via video and phone calls since meeting her.

Sieg goes back to his ‘ex’

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?

Malta’s affection for Sieg is matched only by her own insecurity about her looks.

It’s a prank!

This one’s a little out there but its what makes fan theories . . . uhm, fun! And one of the funniest is Madam Baby’s attempts to be a viral Tiktok star. She’s done a number of dance crazes—and quite a slew of pranks—to have a shot at Tiktok and YouTube fame.

Is Madam Baby 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?

Trina continues to be a thorn in the side of Malta and her friends.

The last resort: cosmetic surgery

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?

Can Sieg forgive Malta’s constant lies and excuses?

Sieg x Trina Forever?

We all know that Trina has the hots for Sieg, who could be feeling vulnerable is at the moment. She could grab Sieg for herself, couldn’t she? With Trina using all the tricks she knows, it could even lead to wedding bells! Well, stranger things have happened.

Sieg forgives Malta once and for all

We’re saving the last for the ending that romcom fans clamor for—the Happily Ever After. 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.

These are all just theories, though. What’s yours?

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.
