- By JAMES A. LOYOLA

ABS-CBN Corporatio­n and Ayala Malls have teamed up to launch the “ABS-CBN Vertis Tent,” a tent venue located in the newly opened Ayala Malls Vertis complex in Quezon City.

In a statement, ABS-CBN said the venue will be available for special events, live shows, product launches, exhibits, and concerts within the fourth quarter of 2017.

The country’s leading media and entertainm­ent company has also lined up a series of shows and concerts featuring local and internatio­nal artists to be held in the ABS-CBN Vertis Tent, which will have a 1,140sq.m. main hall and a seating capacity of 1,200 people.

ABS-CBN head of business developmen­t Paolo Pineda said the network welcomes this new venture with Ayala Malls, which has been a partner of ABS-CBN in bringing its content and its stars closer to the public.

“Ayala Malls has been one of our strongest partners for our events, programs, and movies. Our events in selected Ayala Malls have always generated thousands of attendees,” said Pineda.

He added that, “last year, we also signed a lease agreement with Trinoma, an Ayala Mall, for our first ever experience store. This tent is another first for ABS-CBN, thus strengthen­ing our partnershi­p even more.”

The Ayala Malls Group also expressed its excitement with this new project with ABS-CBN.

“We are pleased to be able to provide the Filipino consumers a place to meet their favorite stars and celebritie­s,” said AyalaLand Malls, Inc. President Rowena Tomeldan.

She added that “the ABS-CBN Vertis Tent will also be open to private functions for individual­s who need a big venue north of Metro Manila. We are excited to be a part of wonderful memories created by this new venue.”

Pineda said ABS-CBN and Ayala Malls hope to deliver many meaningful experience­s to Filipino families through the events that will be staged in the ABS-CBN Vertis Tent.
