Dale Panganiban - Fabrication Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Really wanted to try Pink Rock but I think it's still not the right time hehehe. Better to be safe than sorry as they say. Hopefully things are better on April 3. Keep safe and healthy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
