Two Filipinos made history by clocking in 100 hours and 15 minutes for Longest Marathon Watching TV held at the World Trade Center, Pasay City. Francis Gerodias and Andrew Casano bested four (4) other finalists at the first staging of History Con in Asia.
Held in a specially constructed vestibule by Panasonic, the participants began the marathon watching their favorite shows on SKYcable a few weeks ago.
