That's fast. I think when I joined their FB page, it wasn't even 10,000 yet.

It is. Tuesday evening, I think it was only 12700 or something. Before Showtime, around 13400.

For the Biggest Fan in FB... We're gonna have to take that win alone. Over 1000 fans in 24 hours... Can't wait to see the mini-concert that Mini-Ben promised to be "one heck of an experience". Don't know if it's direct quote, though. But that's what Libera 360 reported.

Good night from the Philippines. Mabuhay!

Note: Poor quality, cellphone recording.

Thanks for the video! It was great. And all the boys are smiling. They look so happy. Especially little Freddie and Mini-James.

Ahh yes, but the Korean fans made Rubik's cubes with Libera on and Teddy Bears in little monks outfits - that gets a lot of points from The Jury
Hmm... Good point. Forgot about the Rubik's cube. That was pretty impressive and creative that they come out with that. I want to buy one already... Hehe... Let Korea be number one. I think number two is still a good spot for the Philippines. We are the new kids in the block after all in terms of countries that Libera is touring.

Although, I must say - from my personal experience and current state of exhaustion - mobilizing fans and putting a tour together in under three weeks with interruptions due to holidays should give the Philippines some serious points.

There are people doing an "amazing race" from across islands (like yourself, phlibera) to come see the boys. Professionals are availing of leaves. Supporters with absolutely no connection to the organizing team pounded pavement to sell tickets. A webmaster donated his site for marketing purposes. Persons of all ages purchased copies of albums they already owned then queued hours to participate in an autograph session turned community gathering.

Remember, that marketing this visit was a fan-based effort. Supporters responded in droves donating their time and effort to ensuring that Libera's visit would not just be successful but one that is again memorable and they did it in three weeks.

So it really doesn't matter what number you rank the Philippines' support. It's tried and tested to come through in spades.

You do realise I put the Filipino fans in FIRST place in the list of Libera's biggest fans don't you? Sheesh, some people are hard to please

Just to add - there is no such thing, I was making it up. It was meant to be a bit of fun, not the cause of World War III.

You guys did a great job, no doubt about it. RP and the boys are lucky to have such a dedicated band of followers. Apologies if I caused you offense.

Ahh.. now that's the quality that Libera deserves. Great upload, thanks to cayleb.

Just catching up with everything. Despite initial reservations, they pulled off a great rendition of Bayan Ko, and the audience respected them well, and were enthusiastic in the right parts. The sound especially on cayleb's upload was surprisingly good too.

I think Liam's slip at signing over Ed's face on the Peace booklet was a genuine mistake. I've seen how quick they have to sign all the materials they have flying at them, and it would be easy to do this.

So just two more concerts tomorrow and that will bring to a close a very successful 'spring' tour.

After being feted like celebrities, how will they generate the enthusiasm for their run-of-the-mill routine cathedral concert in the South of England in May?

Erm, apart from they don't sign over the faces on the cover and even if he was attempting to sign over Ed's face by mistake it is nothing like how Liam signs his name. Believe what you will.

Hahaha... relax Yorkie was addressing it to my good friend phlibera who was kinda willing to relinquish the helm...

I am impossible to annoy this week. I was introduced to Prizeman. Needless to say, I am drifting in the ozone layer...

I agree with Yorking. Crossing out Ed's face is not a mistake. How can you do something like that by mistake ? if he is in a hurry to sign then thats taken him longer to cross out his face.

JimmyRiddle · Post by **JimmyRiddle** » 15 years ago

So you both think there's a bit of the 'Lord of the flies' theme going on here then?

Yes, Liam deserves to be cut some slack. The sheer volume of material given them to sign was amazing. All sorts of stuff was passing in front of them. Half the time, they were signing without looking so that people could take their pictures so we can excuse how their autographs go all over the place and are often illegible. (Although I am loving Cassius present policy of "where ever the pen leads me, that is what my signature will look like, got a problem with that"...)

Phew, you had me worried there

How was the great man? I sort of met him after the Edinburgh concert. It was after the show and the boys were on stage to allow for photo's to be taken. I'm not really in to that kind of thing but I was hanging back to see if I could say goodbye to Patrick, who had come over all David Bailey (famous English photographer), but there was no chance of catching his attention as he snapped away in bliss. Anyway, I was stood in between the rows of seats near the front watching bemusedly when a bloke said 'excuse me' and climbed up on the seats to walk around me. Hmmh, thought I, that was RP.

Exciting claim to fame or what?
