TRAVEL VLOG IN THE PHILIPPINES: To everyone who supported our trip to the Philippines - maraming salamat for your patience!! Organizing and editing 13 days of content after coming home to spend time with family, students (my day job!), and our YouTube schedule, it has taken me several weeks to put everything together in a way we feel captures our incredible experiences with Filipino culture, music, and food... SO MUCH FOOD! Part 1 premieres this Sunday at 9am EST (9pm Manila time), which buys me just enough time to wrap up Part 2, to be released the following Sunday. In the meantime, be sure to join us LIVE, one hour from now on TGIFF (9am EST), as we react to several of the performances captured during our trip with ‪@MARKMICHAELGARCIAOFFICIAL‬ , ‪@EumeeCapile‬ , and ‪@MissionedSouls‬ !

PHILIPPINES DAY 12: If someone told us that our last night in the Philippines would be spent with ‪@RegineVelasquezOfficial‬ and ‪@OgieAlcasidOfficial‬… we never would have believed it!!! Our day started out with a fun segment on Kada Umaga at Net25 with ‪@daianamenezes‬, a former student of Richard’s. Then we got to hang out at the PlayRoom all afternoon where we interviewed five ‪@starmusicph‬ artists: FANA, Bryan Chong, Ian Manibale, MIAH, and Annrain. And then finally… with an unexpected twist of fate, we were invited to the Queen and Chief of OPM’s home for dinner. The experience was simply surreal because they made us feel like we were long lost friends - so many laughs, personal stories, reflections on the state of music in the world today, and once again, SOO much food! We may never recover from this trip!!!!

This is our last update from the Philippines. With nearly two weeks of content to organize, it will be several weeks before our Travel Adventure vlog is released. In the meantime, please join us next week for livestreams on 3/31 (BTS), 4/1 (Forestella), and 4/2 (Hua Chenyu).

Mahal namin kayo!!

PHILIPPINES DAY 9 & 10: We had a relaxing day on Friday with yet another fantastic meal with friends at Manam before our TGIFF livestream at the Filipinas Heritage Library at ‪@AyalaMuseumTV‬ . Saturday, however, was full-on!! We started out with an early breakfast in Quezon City with the one and only ‪@cashualchuck‬ (SB19 Reactor) and made new amazing friends!! Then we all went to a broadcast of Showtime and somehow ended up dancing in front of 83k people watching live!!! Haha Next, we raced to Mall of Asia to meet with Throga and Cashual Chuck subscribers for a couple of hours before closing the night at Bar IX where we got to meet ‪@MARKMICHAELGARCIAOFFICIAL‬ (MMG) and see him deliver an OUTSTANDING performance! As usual… there is SO much more to show you and talk about in the coming weeks.

PHILIPPINES DAY 5 & 6: in Cebu, we had a tour of the city packed with incredible stories while visiting Yap-San Diego Ancestral House and Casa Gorordo, before having a fabulous dinner and performances at Abaseria with amazing people, musicians, and singers from across the island! The following day we took a ferry to Bohol and had the absolute privilege of attending a private performance of the Loboc Children’s Choir in the very same place that the movie, Song Of The Fireflies, was filmed!! Later that evening, we were guests at the first ever public screening of the film at the Loboc Plaza alongside the woman who started it all, Alma Tadlo. We have soooo much more to show you when the vlog is complete!!
