Fans exceed ForceBook’s expectations for their first-ever Fan Meeting in Manila!
Filipino TOMAFOX showed their genuine love for ForceBook during their 1st Fan Meeting in Manila. Organized by Wish Us Luck, the memorable event was held on October 1, 2023, at SM North Edsa, Skydome.
During the press conference, POP Journal was lucky enough to ask the duo one question. ForceBook answered “Communication is the key” when asked how they managed to sustain the strong bond between them during their years of friendship. According to Book, if you are mad or encountering a problem, you should talk about it so that you can understand each other better.
In addition, ForceBook learned new Tagalog words such as “Salamat po”, “Kumusta”, and “Mahal namin kayo” which means We love you all.
