Event: A visit from Bejamin Alves

I was impressed by the film called Sana Dati which got stuck on my head for several days made me curious about the casts who played the main characters. I followed them in their social networking sites like instagram and twitter. Now, when our professor announced that ERC will be holding an event which one of the actors of Sana Dati will be a guest we were excited to meet him. The actor is none other than Benjamin Alves who played Andrew Cesario the love of Andrea Gonzaga who was played by Lovi Poe. The event was held on March 18, 2016; it started at around 1:30 pm and the venue was at MPH1. Benjamin visited and celebrated his birthday early with us!

                The venue really prepared, with cakes, cupcakes, and other food. The stage was decorated with an artsy background.  A host officially opened the event and asks for some representatives to play a game which didn’t turn out really well... they didn’t win since none of them knows how to properly play the game or maybe they were just confused because of the host’s outgoing personality. After the game, Benjamin was introduced, the room was filled with applause and screams, didn’t know he graduated Summa cum laude at the University of Guam with a degree in English Literature. After being introduced, the top 3 winners of the Slam Poetry performed their piece and Benjamin has to choose the best of all of them but he announced that he liked all of their performances and chose all of them as winners. Benjamin also performed his personal piece in front; it was inspired by his past love. I have to admit, I really liked his poem, and it’s really going to struck you in the heart because you know it was well written with true feelings.
