On their day off, they headed to the Bench store in Bonifacio High Street to shop for some clothes, but fans were quick to recognize them. It didn’t take long for a huge crowd to form outside the store, everyone trying to catch a glimpse of the girls.

Unfortunately, all good things have to end and the girls eventually had to leave the store. Filipino fans will be eagerly waiting for their next visit to the country!
