July 17 was indeed a family fun day with The Hammingtons!

Sam, William, and Bentley Hammington gave Filipino fans a Sunday full of laughter and cuteness in The Hammingtons in Juanderland fan meeting at the New Frontier Theater last July 17.

Prior to the fan meeting, the father-and-son trio met the members of the press during the media conference where they talked about coming to the Philippines and meeting their local fans and Return of the Superman. William and Bentley also shared their dreams and K-Pop idols they want to feature on their show.

Meanwhile, Sam opened up about being a parent and gave wise advice on parenting. According to him, parents need to find out what works best for each child as what works for one may not work for the other. “It’s a learning experience. No one is perfect at raising children,” he said. He added that parents can learn from mistakes. “Just roll with it,” he said. Sam also shared that they have been trying for another child.

The Hammingtons relayed their wish to meet more fans once the situation gets better and the pandemic is over. And fast forward to Sunday, the well-loved family got to meet their Filipino fans who are equally excited to spend the weekend with Sam, William, and Bentley.

A trip to Juanderland with Sam, William, and Bentley!

The Hammingtons in Juanderland became a true trip to “Juanderland” as the family immersed themselves in the Filipino culture where they got to wear traditional clothing, learn Filipino words like “Mahal ko kayo“, “makulit ako“, and “pogi“, and eat local snacks and food including adobo, champorado, and lechon.

The boys put their competitive spirit up with games of air hockey and paper dance.

Sam was filled with gratitude at the immense display of love from Filipino fans. The father of William and Bentley was emotional as he thanked the crowd at the end of the fan meeting. “Thank you to each and every one of you,” he said.

The Hammingtons in Juanderland filled the hearts of everyone with fond memories with a tinge of nostalgia as it allowed us to take part in another memory for Sam, William, and Bentley whom we saw grow and grow up.

Special thanks to CDM Entertainment for the invitation to the event.
