Every day we get a blessing,
sometimes we may not be aware of it but we are fortunate enough, unlike the
other’s who struggle to live. We can consider our everyday lives as a blessing,
every day counts as a gift. The fact is, anything could be a blessing, a place,
thing, or a person. Last March 18, 2016 at the Multipurpose Hall 1 (Mph1), Asia
Pacific College was fortunate to have a special guest to share his blessings
with the students and staffs of the college.
Presented by GMA Artist Center, the
foundation of actors and actresses of GMA together with the cooperation Ms.
Eliz Reyes and the English Resource Center (ERC) brings Benjamin Alves; Summa
cum Laude graduate of University of Guam with a degree in English Literature,
Andrew Cesario in the cinemalaya film “Sana Dati”, and the actor of Lt. Manuel
Quezon in the film “Heneral Luna.” He went to the school not only to celebrate
his upcoming birthday but to share his blessings and experiences in the
industry.
The event was jumpstarted by Ms.
Tess Bomb, hosting a couple of games like pinoy henyo. Later, she introduced
Benjamin Alves to take the floor. After the moment of introduction, then he welcomed
the top 3 winners of the Slam Poetry: Art of the Spoken Word 2 to perform their
slam poetry. Not only did the top 3 winners showcase their piece, Benjamin
Alves also performed his own piece.
APCians
were in for a treat because not only did they hear the piece of Benjamin and
the performers but also given a chance to ask the questions they were eager to
ask during the Q & A portion. A lot of sponsors were there such as Blue
Water Days Spa, Jing Monis Salon, Pandelton, Fernando’s, Zagu, and many more;
The 24 oras was also there to document the event. Before the event ended, the students and
staffs inside mph1 received foods and beverages, plus a cap for them to keep.
It was
an afternoon filled with fun and joy before the students go to their places. It
was surely a day to remember for both the APC community and Benjamin Alves.
