RockEd’s Original Project Grant and Havaianas

Havaianas stage

Last Wednesday, we attended the launch of the Havaianas exhibit at Powerplant mall and also the lauch of RockEd Philippines’ Original Project Grant. Iya Villania and Mo Twister were the hosts for the event. Upon arriving the event, we were told that we should have our pictures taken on the wall setup at the North Court of the Powerplant mall in Rockwell. We never had an idea at first that each photo posted on the wall will be of big help to the Original Project Grant of Roc Ed. Each photo posted there is equivalent to a pledge worth 470 pesos.

During the event, Noel Cabangon and his percussionist performed some songs. It was my first time to see him play live but I never got to hear him play live some of his original songs.

We were also able to check out the exhibit wherein you will learn about the history of Havaianas. Plus, you’ll also get to see the giant slipper on display. 😀
