Free Hugs Manila

Would you a hug s total stranger? If I have to be honest, I won't hug just anybody I meet in the streets. There's just something about our Filipino upbringing that would forbid us to do that. But breaking this norm is the Free Hugs Campaign that was started by a man only known by his pseudonuym "Juan Mann". Free Hugs Campaign started in 2004 at Sydney, Australia and now everybody in the world is doing it, including the Philippines!Check out the video...


Report said that prior to Juan Mann's first ever Free Hugs Campaign, he was suffering depression brought about by personal difficulties. But one time during a party a random man hugged him and said that it was the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Months after that, he was found at Pitt St Mall in Sydney carrying the iconic FREE HUGS sign...

Awww..nice vid!
a big hug from me!!!! *hug*

awkward naman talaga na mag hug sa mga taong di mo kilala unless may purpose. hugs to all! lol madaling sabihin.

aaawwww! We did this in highschool for a month I guess before the actual graduation. I'd say that it was one of the most "feel good" month of my life.

they say everyone needs at least ten hugs a day.

hugs to you!

ok lang sakin maghug ng iba basta ba cute at mabango eh..lol. :)

I saw his videos on YouTube. Very inspiring talaga although medyo nakahiya lang kung dito sa atin mo ginawa un. Iba kasi ang culture natin mga pinoy eh.
