BENCH AND JERRY EVENT UPDATE

By RICKY CALDERON 





The Jerry Yan show at the NBC Tent in Fort Bonifacio Global City last Friday attracted a multitude of women from all ages who didn’t mind lining up as early as 5:30 am and braved the rains just to get a glimpse of the F4 member who endorses the clothing brand Bench. Thanks to talent manager Douglas Quijano, who gave us tickets to the event, we witnessed girls from all ages going delirious at the mere sight of a smile from the popular Taiwanese star. 





One fan we talked to said she lined up at around 8:30 am and if her estimate was right, she was the 560th person in line. She had with her a knapsack that carried her food and an umbrella to shield her from the rain. The nasty weather, however, didn’t stop the Jerry Yan fanatics from going all the way to the Fort Bonifacio Global City to catch their idol who did two song numbers and then an autograph-signing session. All that was over in one hour. 





If going to the NBC Tent was not much of a problem (we were able to hitch a ride with fellow Today columnist Jet Valle, who was also going to the event), getting out of the place was not easy. Not only did the rain continue, but we also had to scramble for a ride together with the legion of Jerry Yan fans. Taxis were scarce and the buses plying the route were slow in coming. Still, the Jerry Yan fanatics didn’t seem to mind the bedlam. They continued to talk about him excitedly aboard a bus to Ayala, including the small fortune they had to pay for a ticket to the event.
