10 - Benjamin Alves Poetry Reading and Birthday Celebration

--Friday, March 18, 2016. The event entitled "Benjamin Alves Poetry Reading and Birthday Celebration" was held in MPH 1 at Asia Pacific College. Benjamin Alves? That’s familiar, I said in my mind. 

As we enter the MPH 1, we surprised about the event because we thought that we are going to watch and listen to slam poetry's competitors. But, the event wasn't what we expected. It is a birthday party of one of the leading stars of the movie "Sana Dati" by which Ms. Eliz watched us in AVR. His name is Benjamin Alves (as andrew) in Sana Dati. 

 The event was hosted by one of the comedian of GMA7. Also, The PEP writers, the 24 Oras of GMA7 and staffs were there. So as expected Laughing and Excitement is what covered the crowd. However, freshmen students who are multimedia arts and engineering are the ones who are in the said event.

After a few minutes, the doors finally opened where the star of the GMA7 Benjamin Alves showed up in front of us. While he is walking into the stage, the crowd sings the usual song “Happy birthday”. It is like we go back to being a child. Hahaha. How I wish I can go back to those times. Where what I just know is that to eat, to sleep and to play. (HAHA)

Moreover, Benjamin Alves isn’t just an artist who is good in acting because he is also good in sports (basketball) and academics. He took English Literature in University of Guam and graduated as Summa Cum Laude. How smart right?  He is also sweet and close to people. He is not like other famous who didn’t mind those ordinary people because he is really approachable. (You can see our picture below hihi)


He is also a blogger. In fact, He shared to us what poetry he had just written before. The poetry is really a heart breaking and it seems that it was written after he came from a break up.

Furthermore, the event was really awesome and that was the unexpected one. The fact that he shared his blessings to us and chose our school to celebrate his birthday is what reflects of how good he is.
