more friends i have encountered because of libera since 2009:
-eric pazziuaggan - eric is a male nurse from palawan. he is an instructor at the holy trinity university and a tom cully fan; he didn't make it in this year's concert because of duty calls;
-romina enopia - i met romina in 2009. she bought front row ticket during the 2009 PICC concert. a tom cully fan, too. but we both liked liam connery at that time because we both agreed liam's face resembled that of an angel. romina was with me during april 2010 concert but sadly wasn't able to make it last tuesday due to chicken pox. romina is based in davao.
-riel sacop and doris solidum - they were were me in all concerts except in 2009 when we didn't know each other yet. riel comes all the way from los banos, laguna where she's studying veterinary medicine.
also sadly missed were aileen gullem, whom i met last april's concert; fredd landig who was sick at that time; khaye guevara from baguio; mila de castro, who had previous commitments on said dates of the M & G; eri flores (also a pretty fan of libera, particularly the older boys), she's abroad visiting her family; rommel herno, who also had previous commitments; and yvette almario who attended a very important occasion on the days of the M & G and concert; and klaudz nocos, from the bicol province.
terribly missed was tatot cadavos, whom i met in 2009 after we all interacted on facebook after libera's concert at the PICC. tatot traveled all the way from maasin, southern leyte to cebu for the libera concert (on a prosthetic leg). he proudly showed off his signed poster and CD to us on his facebook account. sadly, he passed away august last year after a lingering illness. i'm sure tatot was with us watching his favorite libera choir - front row.
other friends i met were these young fans from cebu & cagayan de oro city. we have been exchanging notes about their "idols" (keep guessing who they are, hah hah) gabbie sanchez; isabella corrales; sheena dizon; noreen de los reyes; jan untal & jazmine jamero.
i cannot forget my libera friends overseas! beverly shaver-johnson from the USA; terry chubb (USA); mary joy atienza (canada); tita malvar-milne (birmingham, UK); nicole luc (UK); edric phoenix (USA); tom bowman (USA); carlo ventresca (indonesia); pamela manurung (indonesia); CJ wen (malaysia); nguyen huu min tue (vietnam) and leonardo jap (indonesia).
beverly, terry, mary joy, tita milne, and edric phoenix have all attended libera's concerts in the US, canada and UK.
i may have missed mentioning earlier mia fortugaleza & eric paulin whom i met during the M & G at d' block.
