An incredible night full of happy and hyped TOMAFOX got to spend their night with Force and Book during their first-ever Manila fan meeting.
The Enchante, A Boss and a Babe, and Only Friends stars, Force and Book, graced the Manila stage for their first-ever Manila fan meeting last October 1, 2023, at the SM Skydome!
Hours before their fan meeting, Force and Book meet the local media for a press conference. They shared how happy they are to be in the Philippines.
Book shared how Only Friends is a challenging role for him because it is very complex, especially his character, Mew. Force recommended the fans to try street foods in Thailand and also Tuktuk.
They also shared the Filipino words that they know which were “Salamat (Thank you),” and “Kumusta (How are you?)”
When asked about the roles they wanted to try, Book said he wanted to try action roles while Force said he wanted to try twin roles or comedy roles.
Aside from their versatile acting skills, Force and Book are known for their friendship and since they have been friends for more than a decade, we asked Book if there is a fact about Force that the fans have not known yet.
Book said that Force has trouble when it comes to sleep and his asthma.

The two even strike a cute poses to our camera towards the end of the press conference.
