Viewers of Puregold Channel’s first Boys’ Love (BL) series, “My Plantito,” recently got the chance to meet the stars of the show and the creative minds behind it in an afternoon of big surprises at the Puregold QI Central.
Held last September 16, the fan meet was attended by the cast and crew of “My Plantito,” which included its leads Kych Minemoto and Michael Ver, and the rest of the cast – Ghaelo Salva, Devi Descartin, Elora Espano and Derrick Lauchengco.
Award-winning director Lemuel Lorca, producer Chris Cahilig, and Puregold senior marketing manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad warmly welcomed the crowd at the fan meet, which was hosted by actor and model VJ Mendoza.
Piedad was specially thrilled by the huge turnout at the event. “‘My Plantito’s’ multitude of fans – BL lovers and plantitos and plantitas – showed up to express their heartwarming support for the series, proving that Puregold is on track with its retailtainment efforts. Trust that we will continue to connect with our customers and followers with more stories that resonate with Filipino romcom lovers.”
The show’s very own “Charming Charlie,” Kych Minemoto, also showed his appreciation for fans who attended the first-ever “My Plantito” fan meet. “In this intimate encounter with our followers, we felt their joy, their energy, and saw the smiles on their faces . . . it was priceless!” he gushed. “I relish being part of Puregold Channel’s ‘My Plantito,’ and I’m constantly overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reception of fans from here and abroad.”
Michael Ver, the mysterious Miko Plantito, was just as excited. “This fan meet is like a big, warm hug from our viewers. It’s touching to see how much they appreciate our work and how they‘re able to relate to our narrative. This is the kind of support that inspires us and Puregold Channel to keep delivering our best.”
During the fan meet, two lucky fans were given the chance to bring home all the items they could grab during the One-Minute Puregold Grocery Hakot.
Another highlight of the event was the performance by Kych Minemoto and Michael Ver, who brought the characters of Charlie and Miko to life right before the eyes of their adoring fans.
