Miguel elaborated on the plan, stating, “Ang tawag dito sa ginagawa namin ay #BENANDBENSATAPAT.”
“Nanggaling siya sa isang matagal-tagal nang joke online. Sa comment section kasi namin laging may nakalagay na ‘concert sa tapat ng bahay namin when?’, ‘concert sa tapat ng school namin when?’, at ngayon tinotoo namin siya,” he shared.
