I first met @benmwintle and his payong in almon marina…then we watched the #blackeyedpeas later that night. Eventually, we became partners in his @bookyapp, traveled to KL, LA, shared stories about…, I’ve watched him as a pole on the dance floor and i watched him gently stay at iza’s side during the bad times. I made sure to get Tito Lito’s approval which of course Ben Tumbling got at the hospital. Si @missizacalzado, you know how much we love each other naman na. Love u both and congratulations
