Ben&Ben, in partnership with Robinsons Malls, has launched a video campaign to mark the grand opening of Liwanag House, the newest concept store. Set to the uplifting tune of Ben&Ben’s hit song “Araw-Araw", the video which can be viewed on Robinsons Malls' official Facebook page follows the award-winning band members as they explore the various corners of the mall while experiencing love, joy, and happiness every day within the familiar comforts of #OurFavoritePlace.
