First, I join the mini game while waiting for Benjamin Alves comes in APC. I was so curious that day because my blockmates wanted me to join the game called "Pinoy Henyo" and I just wanted to celebrate also my birthday because my birthday is on March 19.
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”. Next is
that he will be the judge for a poetry competition with the students as
participants and he also held a mini poetry talk after.
The highlight, however, is him delivering his own poem. Some
students are tweeted Ben to check if we can publish here his work and he later
responded that it would be published very soon. Looks like we all have to wait
for that. For now, we are posting one of his poems which he wrote for
Valentine's Day two months ago.
He wanted to say thanks for allowing him to spend an
afternoon with the students and listen in to their poetry. He reminds him to
stay graceful, because the people that love him wish for him
to stay so. Such a blessing to have a birthday celebration this big, as he
usually just have it with family. But he glad to say his family continues to
grow.
