PHILIPPINES!!! So, they’re finally here huh? Jun and Ming Hao were spotted yesterday casually strolling at S’Maison (opo, the lighting is very Philippines) and some of Hoshi’s latest Instagram photos were taken at SM By the Bay. One could definitely say that Christmas has indeed started for the Filo Carats. If you are attending their BE THE SUN concerts this weekend and it is not your first concert experience, then you're probably familiar with the safety and security protocols, and may even have concert tips on your own already. But for the first-timers, worry no more! From OOTD ideas down to bag sizes, this is the perfect guide for you because #EverythingsHereAtSM
