It was "the happening" event and people from all walks of life came in throngs. Dave "The Animal" Batista who is of Philippine descent was awarded by the Araneta Colliseum with a star ala Walk of Fame.
Dave Batista was part of the elite Starwalk Club but unfortunately w/ the Goodness graces of Araneta Center they gave me Batista's Autograph Starwalk as a complimentary gift.
