^^OMG me too!:wild: is there any footage of that?
Christmas countdown and more from Michael in Manila: Michael's one week stay in the hotel [Manilla] became truly memorable when he volunteered to help in making some 300 orphans happy, as all children should be, on Christmas. Gwen Carina recalls the little girl who went round twice and Michael gives his bodyguards a hard time.
"Michael was very considerate to their requests to sign autographs and pose for photos," Carino recalled. "I remember a little girl who came up the stage for the second time and one of the guards sort of stopped her, saying that she already received her goodie bag.
"Michael felt for her embarrassment and said, 'Oh it's alright, Sir I forgot to give her a big hug earlier!' I thought it was really sweet and sensitive of him."
"I think Michael just simply had a big heart. He sought ways to make people happy. Unknown to many, on his way to the hotel when he arrived, he got off his van a couple of times on the road just to shake hands with street children along Roxas Boulevard.
"According to his bodyguards Wayne and Yannick, he gave them a difficult time because he got off three times and the crowd became too large that he had to content himself by waving from the window," Carino said.
Gwen Carino "Oh wow, the kids were definitely happy! They were overwhelmed," she narrated. " We never announced that Michael Jackson would be our special guest so you can just imagine how wonderfully surprised they all were. It's like a dream come true for them."
" He went on the stage again to say thank you for allowing him to share such special time with the orphans. It was an incredibly genuine,the moving and magical moment,"she noted.

Michael in Manilla: Gwen Carino tells us what they found in his hotel room when Michael left Manilla?
"When he left the Manila Hotel on December 11, my colleague Anette Africano and I immediately ran to the Penthouse Suite where he stayed. We were very curious," shared Carino. "There,we found an empty Poperoo popcorn bucket, about three or four flavors of Haagen- Dazs ... ice cream inside the fridge,and M&M's and Snickers chocolate wrappers on the table.
"No wonder Paul McCartney called him a 'boy man' and it's not surprising that he saw himself as Peter pan. He was such a child," she continued.
During his last day at the Manila Hotel, Jackson also left a message on his bathroom mirror.
He wrote," I'll miss you!" using a red lipstick and placed a kiss mark beside the message.
"But personally, I will remember Michael Jackson as fun, respectful, generous, and kind-hearted, doing two incredibly touching things for the sake of those orphans when we were together- seeking ways to reach out for charity and giving unselfish time and love to the ones who didn't have anyone to love them.
"This will be the way I will forever mirror this man," Carino ended.
Michael had checked in at the Manila Hotel's Penthouse Suite (now called the Presidential Suite) Gerry Tenorio, a housekeeping supervisor for 31 years, remembered Michael Jackson's room as being extremely neat.
Tenorio one of only three people who got to shake Michael's hand as he was checking out. He even received an autographed album as well as 10 complementary tickets to Michael concert. The tickets have been used, and the autographed album now worn due to constant use. But memories of Jackson remained with Tenorio to this day.

It's lovely. :girl_smile:
Maybe not rare, but not seen a lot. Like this one.
Who's the young boy with Michael in the first photo?
I think it's just a fan who was at the site waiting for Michael. Michael is with a pen in hand, then, he did an autograph on the forehead of the boy. :wild:
lol imagine if a fan went to get THAT tattoo done lmao
