Whenever I say it is a convention, something pop ups in our minds like a venue with booths, gaming booths, music entertainment and lots of freebies. That is my feedback for attending an event organized by TV 5 and I didn't expected that it is a jam packed of activities, booths, on the spot interviews, show tapings, contest auditions, photo op with the celebrities, and a big musical and rock concert. And I didn't expected that Tv 5 created a great show and an outdoor tv show for the whole day, not only a show, but also a live and outdoor studio for one of their programs.

Whew! so many words that I can put in but as TV5 Senior VP for Brand Management, Jasper Evangelista, said that
the TV5 LIVE Caravan is expecting to meet and greet thousands of audiences “as an expression of the station’s gratitude and thanks” to its supporters. “We are very excited about this. TV5 is very thankful for the positive reception it earns from viewers and for the very favorable ratings, keeping us at a strong number three position in Philippine TV.” Evangelista also invites and encourages everyone to look out for more exciting TV5 events and activities for 2009.
“The TV5 LIVE Caravan is just one of the many big surprises that we will be bringing out this year. And this is just the first, so everyone should watch out for the others which are of course, guaranteed to be just as much fun and grand as this one.”
The event is like a New Years party for everyone, and it was held at the Star City ground and upon entering you can show up your school ID enter the event free, or just buy any Tv5 merchandise. But at night time, the event was opened to everyone and it was a rock fest with Duster, Imago and Sandwich. Also anime band performed in the afternoon and I just missed it, Himitsu Heiki anime and jrock cover band were there and did anime music themes of Samurai X, Full Metal Panic, Gundam 00 and many more.

In the morning, we saw many kids playing some games in the cartoon booths, while others were busy having their own make over, some play video games, while others are on an audition for the Talentadong Pinoy and Shall we dance tv show. I saw many got interview by Ogags show, and they asked some people to try out a funny dare game which I witness that the lady back out after figuring out that the rubber attached to the helmet she' wearing will be pulled and snap it on her neck as a dare game.
I also tried the giant inflatable slide ahhaha, I just asked our friendly Tv 5 girl Yoanna if it is available for adults, then I was with my blogger friends and told that I will try it, but then I thought they will join me on the slide hahaha. I climbed up but lost my balance on the last step and I feel backwards to the start, so I climbed again and did a funny slide haahaa. We played the punch meter, Para Para and that funny hula hoop game, Lace wants to win that Barney notebook for her niece Anya, because her niece is a big fan of Barney and they used to watch the live show and also on tv, so I helped her to win it by using the hula hooping with my neck. I got tired easily and I feel that I'm going to die hahahah, because after doing that Para Para dance video game, I suddenly did another physical game.
I missed the Barney show that afternoon and other celebrities roaming the venue, I went to Ortigas after the Bubbles brothers performance on stage, and went back to venue at 7pm. There I got in time to see the stars of Lip Gloss and Midnight DJ. Saw my blogger friends already in there taking their best photo coverages for their blogs.
The night ended with the rock musical performance of Sandwich and everyone head bangs as they performed great songs from thei album, I just always love their song used in Coca Cola commercial. The ended with their last song "Sugod" and the band was joined by a little girl and she's lucky to sing on stage with rock icon Raymund Marasigan.
TV5 live makes another first in Philippine TV history by bringing its shows on-ground with TV5 LIVE Shake Mo TV Mo Caravan that welcomes the New Year with your new favorite TV station live, and watch out for bigger TV5 shows and events that await this 2009. Shake Mo TV Mo!
