Disabilities Month x 48g 15th Anniversary Special: Let's • La • Appreciate Gabb~!

December is the International Month of Disabilities as well as the 15th anniversary of the biggest idol girl group in this planet (and the universe) that is AKB48. To celebrate these two occasions, I made another appreciation thread but for a real life personality this time for this blog and yeah, I already picked Gabb Skribikin aka my current kami oshi from MNL48!

Precisely wise, not only she breaks barriers and stereotypical boundaries in the idol industry - giving that she has a hearing impairment on the right ear - but also smashes every performance for her awesome talents and everyone's hearts for being marupok, plus her evolution from a cutie lad to a pretty ikemen during her more than two-year stint in the 48g! Moreover, she has been part of the group's senbatsu for the singles "Aitakatta Gustong Makita," "Pag-Ibig Fortune Cookie," "Ikaw ang Melody," "High Tension" and "RIVER," whom she also has been the center for the latter two with the current one being double centered alongside Abby Trinidad. 

In addition to those aforementioned, Gabb was also one of the delegates in the first AKB48 Asia Fest which held in Bangkok, Thailand in 2019 together with the other seven of the Emenel members and all the Asian 48 groups as well as making her first acting stint on Ipaglaban Mo last June alongside Sheki Arzaga and the soon-to-be graduated Sela Guia.

With all the mixed stuff happened in the first few days of the RIVER era in Emenel, including the 3rd General Election prelim results, and much like the one with Cure Grace on my Insights From a Goddess (and Mates) section, I interviewed some of the fans who are Gabb oshis through a roundtable Q & A and here are their responses:
