“Unsay naa sa Carbon oi?”
I’m sure this is what everyone is thinking right now as two celebrities went there today, August 12, 2022.
The very handsome Korean actor/idol Cha Eun Woo was spotted at Carbon Market during the day and had a photoshoot with a bright yellow tricycle/motorela.
He also walked along the fresh fruits and vegetables of the local market. This market trip was an extension of his filming for an advertisement in Mactan, Cebu.
Trending on twitter, fans are in awe of how he wasn’t bulldozed or swarmed by people. He was just respectfully looked at, filmed and then people went on with their daily routine.
Another celebrity at Carbon Market for today was Vice Ganda. The comedian was spotted at Carbon Night Market around 7:30PM strolling and eating delicacies.
They partake in the famous “puto sikwate” of Cebu. To those who don’t know, it is sticky rice of brown red or white sprinkled with mascubado sugar on top and sikwate is a chocolate drink.
Together with friends, they were the center of attention at the market, we can only speculate that it may be a filming for the star’s Youtube vlog.
