Fans’ screams and swoons filled SM North Skydome this Valentine’s weekend as ClaireBell stars Mable Siriwalee and Pangjie Paphavarin (MablePangjie) finally made their Manila debut!
Manila was abuzz with excitement this Valentine’s weekend as Thai actresses and ClaireBell stars Mable Siriwalee and Pangjie Paphavarin (MablePangjie) finally made their long-awaited Philippine debut in a fan meeting at the SM North Skydome on Sunday, February 15. Presented by Wish Us Luck Entertainment, the event drew hundreds of passionate fans. Many traveled far just to see their idols up close.
MablePangjie delight Manila fans with their Tagalog skills
The afternoon began with a heartfelt greeting. Mable and Pangjie take the stage to perform the ClaireBell OST, “Starlight.” Their voices resonated across the venue. This set the tone for an event filled with warmth, laughter, and plenty of kilig.
“Your support and everything you do for us are the things that drive me all of my work.”
Mable told fans. Her sincerity is evident in every word. Pangjie echoed the sentiment, sharing, “This is something that I look forward to every day.”
One of the fan meeting’s most memorable moments was Mable and Pangjie showing off their Tagalog skills. Mable charmed fans with, “Ikaw ang laman ng puso ko.” Pangjie playfully said, “Akin ka na lang.” The crowd erupted with screams and laughter. Their efforts showed not just dedication, but a real connection that crossed borders.
Moreover, the interactive segments of the event kept the energy high. Fans joined Mable and Pangjie in the Strawberry, Banana, Apple game, sharing laughs and playful banter. The duo then showcased their musical talents individually. Mable performs her rendition of Lisa’s hit track “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)” and Pangjie delivers an adorable cover of Stephanie Poetri’s “I Love You 3000.” The duo even tease fans as Mable returns onstage with a flower bouquet for Pangjie.
Kilig overload as Mable and Pangjie play Truth or Flirt
A trip down memory lane came next as the actresses recounted the making of ClaireBell. The duo shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes and the challenges they faced on set. Fans were treated to exclusive stories. This made the experience feel intimate despite the large venue. The crowd erupted once again during a round of “Truth or Flirt.” The game had everyone cheering and blushing in equal measure.
Ironically, Mable picked all the flirt cards. Each choice sent waves of kilig through the crowd. Pangjie, on the other hand, answered only the truth questions. Fans got a peek into her sincere and playful side.
Meanwhile, the love from Filipino fans didn’t go unnoticed. A special fan project celebrated Mable and Pangjie’s journey, while an early birthday surprise had Mable beaming in delight. The duo closed the event in stunning modern Filipiñanas. They then performed the OPM favorite “O Pag-ibig,” seamlessly blending Thai charm with Filipino flair.
Between flirty cards, cheeky truths, and sing-alongs that had everyone off-key (but loving it), fans couldn’t help but have their hearts melt as if they were watching ClaireBell episode 5 all over again. Only this time, in full, glorious, real-life motion.
Pop Journal would like to extend its gratitude to Wish Us Luck for the media invites to cover Mable and Pangjie’s first fanmeeting in Manila.
