TEAM KAPAMILYA, PINAGKAGULUHAN SA BINONDO ] |
Dinagsa ng napakara-ming tao ang motorcade ng
Team Kapamilya featuring the cast of
Kung Fu Kids,
Palos (lead by Jake Cuenca and Bangs Garcia) at
Lobo with no less,
Piolo Pascual and
Angel Locsin noong Huwebes ng umaga sa mismong selebrasyon ng
Chinese New Year.
Maaga pa lang ay nasa
Binondo na ang cast ng tatlong programa para maki-saya sa mga nag-aabang sa kanilang parade. Bandang 10 a.m. nang magsi-mulang umusad ang sinasakyang float ng mga artista. Pero, hindi pa man nagsisimula ang parada ay na-pakakapal na ng tao sa da-an.
Nakasakay kami sa float ng Lobo with Piolo and Angel kaya kitang-kita naming kung gaano kaiinit ang pagtanggap ng mga Chinoy at ka-puwa Pilipino sa mga bida ng Lobo.
In fact,
Lyka at
Noah ang tawag ni-la kay Piolo at Angel. Ito ang mga karakter na ginagampanan ng da-lawa sa Lobo.
Walang sawang ku-maway at nakipagkamay sina Piolo at Angel sa fans. Nagpakuha rin sila ng pictures sa ibang fans na umaga pa lang ay nag-aabang na sa kanila. Ang lakas-lakas pala talaga sa fans nina Piolo at Angel. Imagine, kahit mga lalaki ay sinisigawan si Piolo ng
"I love you, Piolo".
