Cebu welcomes back Van

September 12, 2008 12:25 AM

Van received an early wake-up call from Teacher Monet yesterday. Even before the sun went up, he was already on his way towards the airport to ride a plane that would bring him back to his native land—no other than, Cebu.

The Hearthrob couldn’t hide his excitement all throughout the trip. When he reached Cebu airport, he was pretty amazed how many screaming fans went there just to welcome him home. He couldn’t be more flattered to receive the support of his co-locals, and he couldn’t find more ways to thank them enough.

His itinerary for the day was indeed filled with shows and guestings, but still he had time to roam around the province and feel the air of being home once again. After his engagements, he went back to the places that mattered to him the most. First, he dropped by his alma mater, where he was warmly welcomed by his friends and his brother. Then, he proceeded to the house of his beloved aunt who played a vital role in his life alone there in Cebu.

Aside from Van, Manila-based Miguel and Cris, too, had a shot at having a short reunion with their families. Miguel was joined by his mom and his sisters when he delivered the relief goods he sent to his chosen charity the other day. On the other hand, Cris had a short get-together with her family and friends last Tuesday at Check Point, where she held her show-for-a-cause with former band-mates from Wa-epek band. There, she also had a short reunion with her in-house sweetheart, Sen.

Just like Miguel and Cris, one of Van’s agenda in Cebu was to share his donations to his chosen charity, the Cebu Task Force on Street Children, so before he even left his province, he dropped off his gift to the said foundation and amused the people there by imparting a song number.
