Kapuso stars invade Sinulog Festival

CEBU, Philippines – GMA Regional TV keeps its tradition of gathering its brightest stars to jazz up Cebu City’s Sinulog Festival and hopes to top the previous years’ participation in terms of grandness.

A three-day spectacular fete awaits Cebuanos and tourists alike as Kapuso celebrities from GMA’s new programs head to the Queen City of the South to experience the Sinulog fever.

This Friday, January 16, teen stars Kristoffer Martin and Joyce Ching together with Angelika de la Cruz from the upcoming drama series “Healing Hearts” get the party started in a Kapuso Mall Show at the Ayala Terraces at 5 p.m. Adding extra sizzle to the event is no less than Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid plus impersonator Ate Redg.

On Saturday, January 17, GMA offers back-to-back mall shows at the Gaisano Grand Mall in Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City at 3 p.m. to be followed by another one in SM City Cebu at 5 p.m.

Providing star factor in both shows are lead stars from the primetime series “Second Chances”—MMFF 2014 Best Actress Jennylyn Mercado together with Camille Prats, Rafael Rosell, and Raymart Santiago. GMA’s youngest love team Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali together with “Once Upon a Kiss” ­co-stars Albert “Betong” Sumaya and Mike “Pekto” Nacua complete the list.

Finally, on January 18, Sunday, Miguel, Bianca, Betong, and Pekto hop aboard a float set to tour the major streets of the city for the Kapuso Parade participation.

“Every year, GMA consistently makes it a point to not only be visible but more importantly be involved in the country’s biggest festivals. And what better way to do this than by bringing the network’s most promising stars to touch base with their fans in Cebu and to let them witness the awe-inspiring devotion of the Filipinos to Sto. Niño. With this, we hope for a successful and enjoyable Pit Señor for everyone,” says Oliver Amoroso, GMA Regional TV AVP & Head of Regional Strategy and Business Development Division.

Highlights of GMA’s participation in the Sinulog Festival will be seen in “Let’s Fiesta TV Special” which airs on January 25 via the network’s regional stations in Bicol, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Dagupan, Ilocos, GenSan, Bacolod, and Cagayan de Oro.
