* CommonKnowledge[=/=]MemeticMutation: A CatchPhrase associated with the character is "Ding, ang bato!" ("Ding, the stone!") In spite of what it implies, Ding is not the usual keeper or bearer of the stone, Narda is. It just so happened that in one of the movies Narda called out to Ding to throw the stone to her, as she had lost it for RuleOfDrama and it happened to be near him.

Added DiffLines:
* FanPreferredCouple: Narda is canonically paired with Brian, but in the fandom it is more popular to pair her with Regina. This is mainly because of Narda and Regina's quick friendship, many feeling they have better chemistry then Narda and Brian, and the [[FoeYayShipping two being destined enemies]].

* EnsembleDarkHorse: For a supporting character who hasn't even had his backstory revealed much at all, Ali is surprisingly popular. He's even earned a popular FanNickname, "Ali Best Boy". Many fans latched onto him being one of the few characters who puts Regina's well being first and formost, along with being the one of the few recurring male characters who has a purpose beyond being a love interest (though he does have feelings for Regina, it's not often focused on). It helps that his actor Mark Manicad has considerable natural charisma despite not being as well known as his co-stars.

* LesYay: The 2022 TV adaptation has plenty of unintentional subtext between Narda and Regina (its versions of Darna and Valentina), due how quickly the two grow close and despite competing for the same guy. Some examples include: When Narda gets hired by Regina's practice, she repeatedly asks when she can see Regina and is more excited to see her then her crush Brian. In one episode when Regina accidentally yells at Narda, they both spend the episode devastated. Regina, in particular, spends the night DrowningHerSorrows out of guilt and when she she sees Narda again, instantly runs over to hug her while proclaiming that she can't lose her. When Regina can't find Narda one episode, she spends the entire episode simply waiting by her desk, before acting suspicious towards Noah in a way that seems unintentionally like a jealous girlfriend, and when Narda lies and says her grandmother was sick, Regina makes sure to send her a fruit basket. When their love interest Brian is hurt one episode, the two spend a prolonged time comforting each other.

When their love interest Brian is hurt one episode, the two spend a prolonged time comforting each other. The subtext is probably not so unintentional, considering that two of the directors (Avel Sunpongco and Benedict Mique) picked up on de Leon and Salvador's strong chemistry. According to de Leon and Salvador, Sunpongco and Benedict have joked that maybe Narda and Regina should end up with each other instead thanks to their actresses' chemistry. The crew and cast are aware of Darlentina's popularity as well, so it's likely that the way they're leaning into the LesYay in newer episodes is in a conscious choice.
