From Cubao, my co-actor Tony Manalo joined me in my car as I drove to PAGCOR in Sucat, Paranaque City. The PAGCOR Grand Threater was the venue of the 23rd Philippine Movie Press Club, Inc. Star Awards for Television.
Since we arrived early at 5:00 p.m. I was able to get a parking space at the back of the PAGCOR Theater. We entered the theater through the back entrance which led to the backstage and the theater exit.
Arnel Pineda and Charice Pempenco were still rehearsing when we occupied our seats. I chose the 5th row from the stage, a good view I told myself. All the while, people were entering the theatre either using the back entrance or the main gate. When I saw some seated audience reading the souvenir program, I asked where they got their copy. I went to the main gate where the reception table was. I told a PMPC officer manning the souvenir program that I am from May Bukas Pa she immediately gave me a copy. I noticed that it had a price tag of 100.00 per copy. When I asked if I was suppose to pay, she told me that it was for sale to the non- nominees.

It is of course part of my obligations stipulated in my contract to attend these activities to promote the show.
I arrived at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral at the corner of Lantana and New York Streets in Cubao a few minutes before 2:00 p.m. I remembered that I used to hear mass in this church when I was still a bachelor and was residing at Sgt. Catolos Street. That was more than three decades ago. It was known then as Immaculate Conception Parish Church. It is now a Cathedral. A major improvement however is the fact that the church now owns a medium rise building. At the 10th floor of the building is a function hall which was chosen as the venue of the awarding ceremonies of the coalition of the elderly.
