JossGawin Brought Equal Parts Sweet and Naughty for GMMTV Fan Day 23 in Manila!
Written by: Gerrica Viado
JossGawin successfully wrapped their first Philippine fan meeting on August 24, 2025, at Samsung Hall, SM Aura Premier, as part of GMMTV Fan Day 23! Congratulations, boys!
It’s only been a few days, and while the memories are still fresh, we can’t help but look back on everything that transpired on that fun and energetic day.
They came out on stage performing a rendition of Gawin’s solo OST for the drama The Warp Effect, titled Sweet but Naughty.
When it was time to greet the Filipino fans, both Joss and Gawin couldn’t help but be in awe of the amazing energy (and screams) everyone in the venue had to offer.
When asked about how they feel about visiting the Philippines for their first Manila fanmeet, they agreed that it was a long time coming, and their experience so far has been nothing short of warm and amazing, with people from the plane already warmly greeting and accommodating them. They talked about hopes of trying out local food and visiting places, asking fans for personal recommendations.
Both being huge fans and active players, the fact that basketball is huge in the Philippines didn’t go unnoticed, and Joss even mentioned how they would love to watch and play with the local players. After some introductory questions, the program moved on to fan questions and requests, showing their more cheeky side, which the fans absolutely adored.
For the first game, the Sticker Challenge, they each had to copy a pose the other chose for them, and then two couple poses the audience chose. It’s safe to say the stage erupted with cuteness and the audience with screams.
For the main game, five fans were randomly picked to help JossGawin play. The rule is for Joss and Gawin to use their faces to guess the fruit or vegetable while blindfolded. The fans will hold the secret item between them, and it is up to the other two to maneuver however they like to correctly guess the item. If they fail to guess all items correctly, a punishment is waiting for them–one that the fans will truly love!
Because JossGawin failed to guess all items correctly, their punishment was to do the bababa dance challenge. While a punishment for them, it was a treat for the fans!
JossGawin doesn’t let punishments drag them down, as they treat the fans with solo performances next. Joss gifted the fans with a live performance of his solo OST for My Golden Blood, titled Just You, while Gawin performed his own rendition of เพลงรัก (Hook), an OST for My School President.
After some time off stage, JossGawin came back donning their own barong tagalog, a lovely gift from the fans. Both conveyed heartfelt gratitude for all the support they’ve been getting from the beginning of their series up to now. They also expressed how thankful they are for the opportunities to meet many of their fans and their desire to travel to more places together, meeting more fans from around the world.
What followed were the sincere gifts that fans had carefully prepared for the two of them, which included a surprise fan video, custom cloth banners with heartfelt messages, crochet bouquets, and a cake. A special birthday cake and a happy birthday song were also prepared for Gawin, who celebrated his birthday last August 8.
They continued to say how fortunate they feel to travel the world thanks to the fans, and how grateful they feel whenever a fan comes up to them and tells them how much of a positive impact they have in their life. They reassured how much they love being in the Philippines and expressed their hope to come back again someday.
For their final stage, they sang Bright’s My Ecstasy, as an even more energetic final stage for the ever-energetic Pinoy fans.
Much like Joss and Gawin, we hope this isn’t the last time we see and meet them up close!
The event was presented by CDM Entertainment.
