activities before November 12's grand coronation night.
“From the beginning I’ve always been interested in the Japanese culture, mahilig ako sa anime so it was not new to me, but I still learned so many things that are no-no’s in the Japanese culture and I am glad that I had that training kasi here in the Philippines, sa atin OK lang iyon, but there they don’t like it when people for example are too loud on the train. They also have this high respect for their elders. Well we also respect our elders but their respect for theirs is really on a different level, and they have very specific customs for that so yung mga ganon.”
