the office conference room serves our work place

the first 3 days were actually spent on familiarizing on how they work and the facilities, recording studios

the following days were spent on field works! 

we went to sm bacoor for faith cuneta's mall show

we first checked on record bars for faith cuneta's album sales

and then went on to the actual mall show where we actually did not anticipate to have a major role! we went on-stage and hosted the entire program!
