We arrived at Alabang Town Center at around 1:00pm and went straight to Filinvest's office located at the mall.
While waiting for the others who had to go to the comfort room, I had my photo taken with Mr. Richard Yap's standee. :)
Once everyone was done freshening up, we headed to the mall's activity center where their Home Expo was held:
VNE (Von Neri Erika) Starmaker Talents entertained us during the program.
After the dancing, modelling and singing, it was now time to introduce Filinvest's newest brand ambassador and dream advocate, Mr. Richard Yap! :)
The crowd went crazy and so did we. ^^ He really is very appealing and handsome in person. While he was still on stage, we had to return to the Filinvest's office to get ready for our 15 min interview with Mr. Richard Yap.
I had no idea that we had to ask questions and interact with Mr. Richard Yap as in face to face with just a seat away from him. This was actually my first time to attend such an event that I had to think of questions for him so I felt a bit stressed. :))
We settled down and waited for Mr. Richard to seat with us.
Without looking at the entrance of the office, we knew that the star of the event was on his way, with all the screaming from his fans and flashes of camera.
He went straight to our table and we were introduced to him one by one. I guess, being a first timer at a question and answer portion with a handsome guy just a few inches got the best of me. I wasn't even able to say Hi!!! :(
Prior to the Q&A portion, Mr. Richard Yap gave a short talk on what I Own My Dream Campaign is. He explained that as everyone knows, Every Filipinos' dream is to have their own home for their family. The only thing that's keeping them away from achieving this dream is that they don't have enough money to buy their dream house. That is where FIlinvest comes in, which is to guide and help people on what they should do to have the home that they've been dreaming of.
After that, Q&A started. Here are some of the questions that my co-bloggers asked Mr. Yap and what his response were (as how I remember them)
Q: How does it feel to be the newest ambassador of the I Own My Dream Campaign of Filinvest?
A: I feel very honored to be part of such a trusted and prestigious company like Filinvest.
Q: As a successful entrepreneur, artist, father, and now a dream advocate, do you still have any dreams/wish that you want to achieve in the future?
A: Being where and what I am right now, I am very much contented. So my dream now is for my kids' dreams turn into reality. That they achieve what their goals in life are. As an actor, my dream project is an action movie like James Bond. :)
Q: What do you think are your similarities with Filinvest that made them pick you as their newest ambassador and dream advocate for I Own My Dream campaign?
A: Well, I would like to think and believe that I am reliable and trusted by people just like how people trust Filinvest as a company that is worth investing into.
How I wish I could've asked even just one question to Mr. Richard Yap. After the interview, a photo with him is a must!
It was such a great experience to meet him and to attend an event like this. Hopefully, the next time I attend an event that I had to ask questions, I can be able to conquer my nervousness and construct a question for our interviewee. Tip to self: Bring a small notepad and a pen to be able to jot down questions prior to Q&A segment. :)
