|
 | kulang nalang si Kuya Germs! Hindi nabigyan ng Birch Tree si Rick! |
 | teenster wrote on Aug 1, '08, edited on Aug 1, '08 Hayop ka, Gabe! I would not have gone to see the concert so thank you for posting the videos because laughing my head off is a great way to start the day! :)
P.S. Can I link back to your site for my friends who don't have you on their contact lists, please? I won't do it unless you agree. |
| You, sir, are now my personal hero. :) |
 | WINNEr!! i'lll post this at philmug!! :) |
 | gabe, was at the dolphy special doing a couple of faces and i heard them persuading him to do it in the dressing room... buti naman he decided to go for it! galing. thanks for the post. |
 | I love this! Thanks, Gabe! :-) Never gonna give, never gonna give... GIVE YOU UP! Classic! |
 | GAAAAAAAAAAAABE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Salamat sa inyo!!!! It was unforgettable!!!! |
 | i was actually the first one to scream as he walked into the audience area. actually couldn't believe he was there.
*raises hand* member of the facebook group by the way, lol.
and... took a video and kinda interviewed him, pre-concert. in the video, you can even actually hear me blurt out the word "facebook". will upload it tomorrow, pag-uwi ko sa davao, nyahaha!
hahaha, salamat sa facebook group na un at nagawa ko un, lol.
and sir gabe... *salutes!* |
 | Link away people. Ü
It's a proud proud moment that we all must share. |
 | Hahahaha! I'm still laughing about it now! SUPER FUUUUUN!!! :D What were the chances that Ken would find out about it so that he could inform you?!? It was truly the best part of the evening!!! :D |
| We're all thanking you, of course, for your role in it... But... has Kuya Dick also thanked you for making his best entertainment moment EVER possible that night? Wahahaha! Kung di mo siya pinursigi, he may never have realized that so many people really did want to see him do his 20+year old dance. Loved it!!!! |
 | Marami akong maipagmamaliking mga dream-come-true moments sa buhay ko, pero walang maka-relate. Etong Dick Meets Rick ... hayop ka talaga! |
 | Gabe, hello! Belle texted me about this (neither of us went to the concert).I still can't believe it happened, and I'm still laughing! Salamat!!! |
 | DREAMS COME TRUE!!! Although we never petitioned, wrote the producers... we would always talk about this Fictional scenario... What if Kuya Dick (of Dick and Carmi) would actually sing this Rick Astley tune...
Its as much kuya dick as it is a rick astley tune..
CHAMPION!!! Now i can start breathing again... i've turned blue from the laughter :) |
 | just like what i wrote on tals multiply...
you guys got rick rolled! but in a good way, obviously.
this is the coolest thing ever... |
| bhobg wrote on Aug 2, '08 I guess this displaces your pagiging minor EDSA hero in your life's lists of achievements? Congrats! |
| I forgot to mention that we had a few pictures taken with Rick and Kuya Dick after the show. Wow. |
 | BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my gas, I got a real kick out of watching that video! |
| bwahahahaha this was oh so awesome!
|
 | Oh. My. GOD. This is a slow clap moment. :) |
 | Demn it. Wala akong Facebook. At wala rin ako sa Pinas to capture the RodeRICK moment. Sheeeet. Sayang.
I'm so happy it happened though. I couldn't believe it when my friend YMd me about it. Super kwela daw. In behalf of my friend (and her friends who loved the finale), thanks for making it a reality! :)
I can't wait to view the videos when I get home. |
| Oh and thanks so much to Ken and Maybelle for sharing the video! |
 | hahahahahaha!!!!! kuya dick at his best!!! nice one!!! |
 | i wanted to go to the concert but i totally forgot about it =( plus wala akong kasama coz my friends were like, "who's rick astley?" boo them.
there was a point in my life when i thought roderick paulate was rick astley hahahahaha
this absolutely made my day =)
|
 | Rar. My desire to watch Rick LIVE flew away when the sched for midterms came. I had to study!
Good thing there are those, *Ahem* kind hearted gentlemen who took, at least, this vid. God bless you. |
 | whaaaaa!!! galing! I now believe that you have great powers Gabe :) |
 | Panalo. 8DDDDDDDDDDDD Maraming salamat po for making this happen! \*0*/ {starry eyes} |
 | for a while i thought he wouldn't do it. then bedlam!!!! Rick meets Dick! |
 | Haha! Astig naman to know the story behind this, thanks for sharing :) Rick's encore with Roderick was a winning moment last night :D |
 | Lecheng trabaho iyan, nakasira sa pagdanas ng mga dream-come-true moments! Pero salamat sa video post, at salamat sa lahat ng bumuo ng facebook group for sharing the moment with everyone. Gabe, this is proof of what group mind could do. And Roderick Paulate - "I like the way you move!" (ala male voice over during the sexy dance prod of Carmi Martin in 'Tonight With Dick and Carmi') |
| I love your friend Tal's comment:
"Gabe wanted to distribute bread to the needy."
Wahahahahahaha!
Too funny.
Love all these Rick-meets-Dick chronicles. |
| From Kuya Dick's comment on Facebook:
Thank you so much! Honestly, i got the joy and energy from you guys. The cheers were overwhelming! Natalia, JC, Audrey, and the rest of the group, thanks talaga! it was a pleasure meeting you all. Hi Cres! thank you for your kind words.Pero singer talaga si Rick...ako hinde. but im glad i made ur day. Gabe, thank you din! ang lakas ng convincing power mo kahit may jetlag ako..wagi ka! hehe.

All That's Left.

 | jenagain wrote on Aug 3, '08, edited on Aug 3, '08 SO, kayo pala ang may kagagawan 'non!
I wasn't deadset on watching Rick Astley, and so didn't. HOWEVER, had I known Kuya Dick would be there... salamat at buti nalang may vid!
True Gabe, even better than The Secret. |
 | It seems this is the hottest link in town. Thanks for sharing this! Love it! |
|  Only in the Philippines! I bet this has not happened in other countries where Rick Astley had a concert. =)  ate aileen!!! this is what i thought, and i sooo agree! (angel here by the way, ria's cousin? hehe.) tapos... umm... ung interview ko kay kuya dick, before the start of the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ARCS7AXBxIuploaded some bits and pieces of the concert too. forgive the screaming :D |
 | deeno wrote on Aug 3, '08 I hope you don't mind me reposting your blog on my site , I will put a link so they can see the videos ,thanks |

 | darn it! bakit ako nasa davao! aaaaah! perfect sana ito. waaaah! buti na lang pinost mo. |
 | Bwahaha, so funny. I'm proud to have been one of the 193 members of the Facebook group! I did catch Rick Astley in Singapore just tonight ... but alas no Roderick in sight. =O |
 | rodercik rocks!!! saw you at mag net cafe last friday playing rock band. am a close friend of your niece paolo zamora, he wasnt able to make it that evening.
will post this if you don't mind.
Thanks |
 | wow! hanggaling! congratulations sa pagrealize ng iyong dream. |
 | Wow! I was actually having second thoughts whether I should watch or not, because I am on a tight budget right now and I could not get anyone to watch it with me. But since I have waited and wished for this for a LONG time (I even had an OMG moment when I first saw the promo clip of the concert on MYX), I decided to watch, even if I was alone. I am so glad I did! |
| It's quite possibly the best money I EVER spent.
|
 | alam mo Gabriel...ikaw talaga miski kelan pasimuno ka! You're the scum of the earth!! And besides... hahahahahaha |
 | support the dream!!! ang saya!!! |
| Oh no!
To quote a pathetic little scumbag when confronted with his philandering ways outside of Aruba in Tomas Morato on a fateful night almost two years ago...
"I'm the victim here!"
Cue fainting.
And besides...
|
| Gabe, I have to repost this comment from one of the many YouTube videos that have since surfaced.
"To those who weren't aware (i.e. too young) at the time, there was no way you can avoid seeing Dick somewhere on TV singing Rick Astley songs.
More power kay Dick, though. He tried real hard to get out of the way that night pero Rick wanted him to sing. World Tour na lang, the Rick and Dick Duo! :p"
ROFLMAO |
| Scroll Closing Credits...
Gabe as Don Gabriel - the multi millionaire, dashing debonaire himself
Atty Gonzalez as the Lawyer/Bodyguard
Bimbo as the Goon/Bouncer
Gretch - as the yaya of Don Gabriel - in her most daring and provacative ever
Des and Sharon as the yayas of Gabe's yaya. (he's rich you know)
Scumbag - as himself no more, no less
And that fateful night was the turning point of my career. |
 | hahahahaha!
gabe, ur da man!
nice one. |
 | WOW
all is can is...
WOW!!! |
 | i'm so regretting that i missed the show...haha this video is really making my week fun! haha |
 | i'm a big fan of rick astley
and really delighted to see this
hope it's ok to share this with my friends |
| Oh and let us not forget...
"She who must not be named"
For being the inspiration of the film in the first place. |
| We made it to the Official Rick Astley website. Read it here: http://www.rickastley.co.uk/news/news080408.htmlTo quote: "...Upon his arrival in Manila, the first leg of his three show campaign, Rick was welcomed in such a fashion that he could be forgiven for thinking he'd just touched down in 1988! Whilst much of the world had forgotten about Rick Astley, that is until the recent 'Rick-rolling" phenomenon hit the headlines, it would seem that The Philippines had never forgotten..." |
 | This is a chockful and a half of AWESOME! |
| Yeah. Sadly, many of the younger ones now do not completely understand why we would watch Rick Astley in concert, since they were not yet alive or were still too young during the time when Rick Astley was HUGE. But for us who grew up during the 1980s, his songs were a soundtrack to our lives, and not just some freaking 'rickrolling' thing. We went to the Araneta Coliseum to go on a sentimental journey, to reminisce on a trip down memory lane. And that, for me, is priceless. By the way, I found this on You Tube, a recent interview with Rick, giving us an insight about his thoughts on his career and his family: http://raymundedgar.multiply.com/video/item/31/GMTV_Rick_Astley_Interview |
| Yeah.

We went to the Araneta Coliseum to go on a sentimental journey, to reminisce on a trip down memory lane. And that, for me, is priceless. well... i am 25. my brother and sisters are 30+ though. that's why i would hear his songs every so often then. the concert did remind me of years when i was waaay younger. and i got to really fully appreciate him when i heard the guy was coming. blame it na lang rin siguro sa rickrolling, hehe. but i knew the guy was really something back then. and this concert was something i shouldn't pass up because someone did mention (and quite a possibility) it might be his last concert here ever. i wanted to be a part of it :)
and did you see the 17 year old boy there who actually owns a record (like a real record) of one of rick astley's album? and i thought i was the youngest one.
but you know, i blame it greatly on roderick paulate. seriously.
hehe, yeah, i had to watch that interview prior to his coming here to condition myself what he actually looks like now. he must've eaten quite a lot when he got here, medyo naglapad ang mukha konti, hehe. |
| the rick and roderick concert was featured in TV patrol!! woohoo we're now a certified phenomenon!! |
| may chance kayang marevive ang dick and carmi because of this?? or kahit regular roderick song and dance feature in ASAP?? |
| oh my goodness.
hahaha.
what have we done? |
| Yes...how could we forget her..
Let's give her a big round of applaud..
The nerves! hahahha |
 | cuzincurly wrote on Aug 5, '08, edited on Aug 5, '08 I didn't watch the concert mismo because of projects and whatnots, but I saw it in Youtube.......and
It made my day! O.O. My eyes were literally glued on my pc and I can't stop repeating the video...Thanks a million for making it possible...
btw..born on 1988 here but a huuuuge Rick Astley fan haha :), which means I stole my sister's cd once and listened to it like a total crazy fan girl haha |
 | Panalo!!! Talagang "Tonight with Rick and Dick". Brought back so many mem'ries of Kuya Dick strutting and singing Rick's songs in that "Tonight with Dick and Carmi" show on ABS-CBN. Kanpai!!! |
 | when i saw the video i actualy remember the rick astley songs more being sung by roderick... |
 | wamjam wrote on Aug 6, '08, edited on Aug 6, '08 This is Philippine Pop Music History! Thanks Gabe...panalo!!!! |

| Re: "She who must not be named"... "A round of applaud"
Too too funny! |
 | You did good, Gabe. We got one over Rick Asley--it was billed as the Phillipines getting "RickRolled"-- but instead it was Rick who got "DICKrolled". Whatamoment! |
 | wooo. Rick Rolled LIVE!!! =D |
 | hihihi... ang galing! nakatutuwa. ^_^ |
 | Oh man! That was so cool! Dick doing a Rick classic... ang galing! thanks Gabe for posting it. |
| We were just wondering why there was a sudden influx of comments again on the youtube video! :) |
 | Grabe po!!! Ang sarap po pala makita si Rick Astley and Roderick Paulate singing together... it's like a dream... sayang wala ako dun para makita yun LIVE!!!! Thank you po sir Gabe Mercado for posting this one!!!! I really do love it!!!
Allen.... (jhapynikitombo@yahoo.com) |
