Lucky TNT subscribers and their companions recently spent a fun-filled Saturday with KaTropas Kathryn Bernardo and Joshua Garcia as part of TNT Anibersaya 25’s Max Saya Bonding Event held in Quezon City.
Among the excited attendees was 53-year-old government employee Rochelle Aguilar, who TNT flew in straight from Iloilo. Still reeling from disbelief, she shared an intimate lunch with the young celebrities, filled with small talk, personal stories, and engaging games. What made the experience even more special was sharing this “core memory” with her two daughters, Jyzelle and Rachel, and their friend Rica Mae Onelan – all loyal TNT subscribers.
All-expenses-paid trip for KaTropas
“Bale, nag-load lang po ako then may nag-pop up na message na may raffle to bond with Kathryn and Joshua so nag-join po ako. Pero hindi ko po sineryoso kasi siyempre, andaming sasali. Hindi na rin ako nag-expect na mananalo,” added Aguilar, who’s been a loyal TNT subscriber for four years now.
Aguilar initially couldn’t believe her luck and thought it was too good to be true. However, a TNT representative reassured her that the win was legitimate and promptly arranged the all-expenses-paid trip to meet Kathryn and Joshua.
“Sinundo kami ng TNT team sa bahay nang 5 a.m., dumating kami sa Iloilo airport nang 5:30 a.m., then nag-land sa Manila nang 9:30 a.m. Ngayon andito na kami!”
At the venue, Aguilar and her daughters joined eight other fortunate TNT subscribers from various parts of the Philippines for the exclusive bonding event.
Once-in-a-lifetime experience
“Naunang dumating si Joshua then ‘yun na. Madami na nang kwentuhan at tawanan dahil masaya siyang kausap,” Aguilar said.
“Nasa harap ko si Joshua, habang katabi ko naman si Kathryn during lunch, kaya hindi ko makakalimutan itong experience na ito – lahat-lahat, kasi once-in-a-lifetime lang siya!”
Aguilar’s daughter, Jyzelle, was visibly moved, tearing up as she watched her mother enjoy the event. “Para siyang bata uli na kinikilig nung nakita niya si Joshua!”
Bonding like KaTropas
Throughout the event, Joshua and Kathryn took the time to mingle and talk with each of the lucky subscribers, treating them like their own KaTropas.
Aguilar noted Joshua’s openness about his healthy diet of mainly vegetables, fish, and chicken. She was also delighted to discover that Kathryn advocates for stray animals like her, who rescues stray dogs and cats in Iloilo.
To elevate the fun, winners teamed up with either Joshua or Kathryn for two lively games: ‘Charades Relay’ and ‘Mirror Move.’ Team Joshua emerged victorious in both.
Aguilar, a member of Team Joshua, proudly took home a P10,000 cash prize, while her daughters, on Team Kathryn, received a consolation prize of P4,000 each.
“Bawi next time!”
“Sa lahat po ng KaTropa na sinamahan kami this afternoon, maraming salamat po sa oras ninyo. Nabitin ako! Sa Team Kath, babawi tayo next time, okay?” Kathryn joked.
“Thank you po sa inyong lahat. Nag-enjoy kami. It’s nice to meet everyone. Maraming salamat for supporting Joshua and I, and of course, sa pagtangkilik sa TNT. Sana hindi ito ang huli, sana maulit pa ito. Sana patuloy niyo pong suportahan ang TNT,” she added.
Joshua, in turn, playfully teased Kathryn’s team: “Sa Team Kath, bawi next time! Team Josh, proud ako sa inyo! Maraming maraming salamat. Sana nag-enjoy kayo. Nag-enjoy ako sobra. God bless everyone.”
Hosted by actor Bong Gonzales, the “TNT Anibersaya 25 Max Saya Bonding Event” also delighted winners with exclusive TNT merchandise and memorable photo sessions with Kathryn and Joshua.
