Kapuso stars brighten up country’s biggest festivals in January
It was a colorful and festive start of the year for both the Kapuso stars and their supporters through the initiatives of GMA Regional TV and Synergy in bringing the ongoing and upcoming shows to different regions across the country to take part in the celebration of some of the country’s biggest festivals.
Ati-Atihan like no other
This year’s Ati-atihan Festival was made extra memorable with the participation of Primetime Action Hero Ruru Madrid and his co-star Jon Lucas from the top-rating primetime show “Black Rider”, Joem Bascon and Liezel Lopez from drama series “Asawa ng Asawa Ko”, and Sparkle artists Rocco Nacino, Andrea Torres, and Martin Javier.
It was a night to remember at the Binibini ng Kalibo Ati-atihan 2024 held last January 12 at ABL Sports Complex, Kalibo, Aklan as Rocco used his charm in serenading the candidates, while Andrea as one of the judges in the competition. Martin also enlivened the evening with his hosting skills.
Good vibes and high energy filled Pastrana Park in Kalibo last Jan. 18 as Ruru, Jon, Joem, and Liezel performed in the Kapuso Fiesta attended by a big, lively crowd. The stars of “Black Rider” and “Asawa ng Asawa Ko” felt the festive spirit even more as they also experienced tree planting and tried some exotic food in Bakhawan Nature Study and Eco-Park.
Star-studded Sinulog
A back-to-back treat also made the Sinulog Festival 2024 extra vibrant as Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado from GMA Prime’s “Love. Die. Repeat.”, together with Gabby Concepcion and Max Collins from the upcoming show “My Guardian Alien”, brought kilig to Cebuanos through the Kapuso Fiesta at Ayala Center Cebu last Jan. 19.
The stars of the newest revenge drama series “Makiling” – Kristoffer Martin, Myrtle Sarrosa, Royce Cabrera, and Teejay Marquez – also radiated their positive energy in the Kapuso Mall Show at Ayala Central Bloc last Jan. 20.
Adding more color to the celebration were Ken Chan and Kazel Kinouchi from the high-rating afternoon series “Abot-Kamay na Pangarap” through their love-filled Kapuso Mall Show at SM City Cebu last Jan. 21. Joining the fun were Kate Valdez and Joaquin Domagoso from the upcoming series “Shining Inheritance” and “Lilet Matias: Attorney-at-Law”, respectively.
More fun in Dinagyang
The festive January continued across the country as GMA Regional TV brought the stars of “Love. Die. Repeat.”, “Stolen Life”, and “Asawa ng Asawa Ko” to Iloilo City to add thrill to the celebration of the Dinagyang Festival.
Kapusong Ilonggos were all ecstatic as Jennylyn and Mike Tan, together with Carla Abellana and Bruce Roeland from “Asawa ng Asawa Ko” brought good vibes in the Kapuso Mall Show held Jan. 27 at Robinsons Iloilo.
“January has been a very busy yet special month for some of our Kapuso from the regions as some of the country’s biggest festivals are celebrated during this month. On behalf of the whole team of GMA Regional TV and Synergy, we would like to express our gratitude to all Kapusong Kalibonhon, Cebuanos, and Ilonggos for warmly welcoming us despite your hectic schedule this festival season,” says Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.
“This is just the beginning as we have a lot of surprises in store this year for our Kapuso all over the Philippines. A huge thank you as well to all our Kapuso stars who were all so game to spread love and joy across the regions.”
