Wishdependence Day 2016: An Ultimate Bonding Experience for Fandom Challenge’s Contenders

‍

The final four and survivors of the first Wish 107.5 Ultimate Fandom Challenge demonstrated their unity during the station’s celebration of Wishdependence Day at the Bakasyunan Resort and Conference Center in Tanay, Rizal.

Each of the top contenders — Darrenatics (Darren Espanto), Dyfenders (Jason Dy), Juanistas (The Juans), Mowienatics (Morissette), Darylnatics (Daryl Ong), Francisnatics (Francis Lim) and JK UFC (Juan Karlos Labajo) — sent 15 representatives to participate in an extreme adventure race.

‍

Before the challenge proper, the participants eagerly took part in an ice-breaker where they unleashed their creativity by performing an impromptu cheer.

‍

The excitement escalated quickly as the adventure race official kicked-off. Some of the challenges the fandoms conquered included crossing a hanging bridge; doing a unity walk and finishing a maze.

‍

The Dyfenders emerged victorious among the Final Four while the Francisnatics topped the other two Survivors.

‍

Erly De Vera, one of the administrators of Jason Dy’s fandom, shared their representatives’ WISHperience, “All of them enjoyed the event because until now they are still talking about it.”

“Some of them have just met [during the race] but still, they managed to work well together towards a common goal — to score high and to be on top…Though there were only 15 representatives, it felt like the whole Dyfenders was there.”

‍

Meanwhile, Ernie Sabandal, head administrator of the Francisnatics, shared that the WISHdependence Day was an “ultimate bonding experience” for the group.

Asked about their strategy, he said that they just highlighted their “unity and teamwork by knowing their strengths and weaknesses.” The team dedicated their win to Francis Lim, who served as their inspiration throughout the game.
