MANILA, Philippines - Continuing its 15-year tradition of honoring successful Pinoys, The Filipino Channel (TFC) once again made its presence felt at the Philippine Centre’s Barrio Fiesta sa London. Commended by advertisers, Filipino community leaders and foreign attendees for mounting “the most organized Barrio Fiesta in history,” TFC thanks the tens of thousands who came all the way to the Lampton Park, Hounslow last July 17 and 18 to attend the annual event.
This year’s Barrio Fiesta sa London wowed audiences with the performance of the Kapamilya stars. The Sunday show featured the Pinoy Big Brother tandem of Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco a.k.a. Melason, Pokwang, Gabby Concepcion and Vina Morales. Vina also did the Saturday show together with Randy Santiago and Giselle Sanchez.
In the 26-year history of Barrio Fiesta sa London, this year’s celebration was the biggest one to date. Advertisers were all praises for the highly-successful event, with some of them expressing their intention to reserve stalls for the following year. Filipinos from all over Europe as well as their families of different nationalities expressed their appreciation for the joy they felt and confidence that TFC brought back to a Filipino event such as Barrio Fiesta sa London. TFC subscribers are thankful for TFC’s presence in Europe, on-air and on-ground. Their homesickness faded away within those two days and every time they come home to watch TFC.
