- After months of planning and thousands of dollars over budget, we finally showed up for our very first meet and greet. Held on a rooftop venue in BGC, Metro Manila, Philippines. Over 500 followers registered to attend and we pulled it off with the help of 10 sponsors and dozens of workers. It was truly a special experience that we'll remember forever.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
Alot of channels bank on the filipino views but only this family arranges so much for their fans. You can see their genuine appreciation so sweet 🥺
We are SO grateful. We’ve felt so welcomed here. It feels like home.
It was an honor to throw such an appreciation event for those who have supported us over the past few years! ❤️
@@livethephilippines I want you to know you have so many fans here specially in Mindanao who can't go there and meet you. we will always support your channel guys now that we saw how genuine you are.
also, enjoy the Philippines for sure you can't finish the 7000 plus islands even after TH-cam is gone. This will be a long and adventurous journey for you guys
A true and genuine family who really loved the Philippines and the Filipino people, for holding this kind of meet and greet event for their followers/subscribers. Hope that other vloggers will do the same way also. Thank you guys for sharing your experiences to us, for giving us the excitement, joy, unrelentless adventure and also by giving us a window to show the beautiful places that you have been visited . We're looking forward on your future explorations here in the Philippines and to the entire world Wishing these channels ( and to the Ocampos as well ) to grow much bigger and soon reach the 1M subscribers.....God bless y'all. Keep safe always.
True!!
I think this was only the first time that vlogger had an event for their Filipino fans, supporters and subscribers. Such a nice and sweet gesture of gratitude! Congratulations on this wonderful and successful event! Nobody thought this could be pulled off with all the uncertainties and anxious moments happened a week prior this event. Envious to see happy supporters enjoyed and had a great time, wish I was there though.
It’s amazing that it all came together so well. Thanks so much for the support and appreciation 🫶
This Family is sooo genuinely kind ❤❤❤ I’m a fan from Japan 🇯🇵 but I feel the love of Philippines 🇵🇭 and the acceptance from the people
Thank you so much for supporting us from Japan. We LOVE Japan and can’t wait to get back and explore more.
This day wouldn’t have been successful without our guests. We literally have the BEST YT COMMUNITY EVER!!!😭😭😭
💯 couldn’t be more true!! 🤗🤗🤗
This family set the standard on how to appreciate their followers. Indeed, the true meaning of giving back to the community. CONGRATULATIONS and MORE POWER TO YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Thank you! We just wanted to show our appreciation and respect for our followers 🫶
That is how you show genuine appreciation to your followers and viewers, dear vloggers. You don't leave a stone unturned to make the event a memorable and happy one. You don't make them line up and wait at a corner of a mall or a street to meet with you through extreme heat just to give them a brief handshake. You treat your viewers with respect and care because they deserve it, because they should not just be a face or a username to you. Well done, ABCMD!
Wow, thank you 🤗 you are right, they deserve it. It felt like a big family party
We are Filipinos living here in Sydney, we are subscribers and enjoying your adventures in the Philippines, thank you for loving our country, we hope to meet you one day when we get to visit the Philippines ❤🙂🙂🙂🙂
Reading so many comments from followers from Sydney. We hope to visit there too sometime on our other channel, Always Be Changing. Thanks for watching and supporting us 🤗
Wow!!! This is one of the reason why I love this family. I think they're the only youtubers who exerted effort like this for their fans! Just mind blowing
Thank you for seeing the best in us 🤗 we wanted to give back so much appreciation we have for our supporters. And we couldn’t have pulled it off without our besties @momduty
