Alright, ALDUB Nation, we heard you.
15 hours after we posted the announcement, 1,070 people had
expressed their willingness to join the event even if it falls on a Sunday,
even without the guarantee of Maine and Alden’s presence. Awesome, you guys.
So here’s where we’re at:
- Due to the really overwhelming response, we will
be closing the survey form at 5PM, August 15 or when it reaches 1,500 people,
whichever comes first. Why? Because the more people we have, the more difficult
security is. We’re doing this for you, and for our bibis, in case they make it.
- Our initial target was 1,000 attendees; barely
24 hours and we have exceeded that number. This only means one thing: we would
have to look for a BIGGER venue. The Tent at Acacia Estates, Taguig City can
only accommodate a maximum of one thousand people. We will keep you posted
- This is an effort initiated by the ALDUB Nation,
for the ALDUB Nation. We have no huge companies to back us up. This project is, in essence, ‘suntok sa buwan’. Difficult,
yes, but not impossible. So this is where the spirit of Bayanihan would come
in. If you can help us score sponsorships, or point us toward the direction of
donors, please let us know.
- We welcome authors, artists, and musicians who
wish to participate in the said event. Throw us a DM. Pordalab, okay? Okay.
- Please follow @adnfest on Twitter for updates.
We aim to make this event a neutral ground for everyone. As
we said, everybody’s welcome. So even for just one day, let us forget our
specific affiliations and come together as One Nation.

This event is organized by Team Butchikiks, the people
behind 1,080 school kits worth P219,457 donated to Eat Bulaga’s Isang Lapis,
Isang Papel Project, and we’re very proud to say that every cent of that was
well accounted for.
We are full time working people and we are doing this out of
love. We don’t want our names tarnished because of unnecessary insensitive
comments that might be misunderstood. We’re not celebrities and we don’t aim to
be.
