Sandara Park Says Hello to Old Colleagues at ABS-CBN

On her last day in Manila, Korean pop star Sandara Park visited former colleagues at ABS-CBN. While her groupmates from 2NE1–CL, Bom and Minzy--opted to stay at their hotel to rest before their flight back to Korea, Sandara decided to drop by to say hello to her former Star Magic mentor Mr. Johnny Manahan, the staff of Sunday noontime show ASAP (where she was a regular) and some celebrity friends. Sandara had just returned from Albay that morning with the rest of 2NE1.

Because of time restraints, Sandara had to rush to different areas of the Kapamilya network starting with a visit to Mr. M, who was at the time directing ASAP’s live show from the control booth. The two had a short chat and she soon went to see the show’s staff including Joyce Liquicia, ASAP’s business unit head.

She then headed off to the MYX studio to meet Luis Manzano, the former Star Circle Quest (SCQ) host but she eventually went back to the ASAP dressing rooms to see him.

Here, she was also able to talk Kim Chiu, who is an admitted fan of Sandara.


Afterwards, Sandara headed straight to a nearby restaurant have her favorite sisig, sinigang na hipon, pakbet, gambas, and kinilaw na pusit for lunch. Here, she got to hang out with actor Joross Gamboa, one of her closest buddies from SCQ.

Sandara also decided to buy Italian food for the 2NE1 members and their entourage and here, another formerSCQ member, Raphael Martinez ,caught up with them. On her way back to her hotel, Joross called actress Melissa Ricks, who was on a Walang Hanggan mall tour in Lucena, and had her talk to Sandara. Melissa thanked Sandara for the belated birthday gift the latter had sent her days earlier. Melissa was particularly touched that Sandara remembered to get what she really wanted.

It was a short trip to her “second home” and Sandara hopes she will have more time to spend with her friends the next time she visits again.

News: Melissa Ricks Receives a Special Gift from Dara

While they may have gone separate ways to pursue their respective careers, fellow Questors Melissa Ricks and Sandara Park have remained close.

The K-Pop superstar, who arrived in the country yesterday, even remembered to bring back a camera for Melissa as a belated birthday gift!

Scheduling conflicts, however, prevented Sandara from personally giving her the gift, so she got her Filipino friends to give it to the actress.

On the box, the K-Pop superstar wrote: “Nini (her endearment for Melissa), late birthday gift ko to sayo! hehehe Misshooo! From Krung~” (Translations: Nini (her endearment for Melissa), this is my late birthday for you! hehehe I miss you! From Krung ~ (Dara’s nickname in the Philippines which means “crazy”)~)

Melissa, touched by Dara’s thoughtfulness, shared with MYXph that the camera was something she mentioned in passing when Dara attended her birthday party last year.

“She had this camera and she was taking pictures of us. Sabi ko, ‘Uy, parang gusto ko ng ganyan Krung*!’” (Translation: She had this camera and she was taking pictures of us. I said, “Oh, I think I want one of those Krung*!'”

As luck would have it, Melissa, who celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago, finally got her wish! She said, “Hindi niya nakakalimutan ang friends niya dito sa Pilipinas.” (Translation: She never forgot her friends here in the Philippines.”

When asked what her message for Sandara was, Melissa said:

“Krung congratulations, I know this is a dream come true for you. To be part of 2NE1. To be a singer and make so many people happy. I’m so happy for you. I’m thankful na you still remember us and you’ll forever be in our hearts. Thank you!”
