Benchingko

It's the 25th year of Bench, and one of their unique ways of celebrating it was releasing series of short films under the umbrella title Benchingko Films. I was invited at the premiere night held at the SM Mall of Asia Center Stage Theater last Friday and as expected, it was star-studded!

Yours truly at Benchingko red carpet.

With BFF Angelette Calero!

The legendary kontrabida, Ms. Bella Flores, also graced the event!
