MANILA, Philippines - The cast of GMA Network’s Home Sweet Home heads to Lucena City in Quezon today to witness how Filipinos celebrate the country’s very own mardi gras — the Pasayahan Festival.
Pasayahan, which means “to make happy,†lives up to its name as it has street-dancing and festival parades as its highlights annually. And this year, a more colorful and vibrant celebration is set to happen as Kapuso stars Raymart Santiago, Roxanne Guinoo, Jillian Ward, Arthur Solinap, Rochelle Pangilinan and Ken Chan join in the Pasayahan Grand Parade 2013.
On board a Kapuso float, the Home Sweet Home cast will be parading together with the other participants dressed in their bizarre garbs of various shades and colors at 1 p.m.
Following the grand parade is a Kapuso Mall Show at the SM City Lucena Event Center at 5 p.m. Joining the cast to provide amusement to the audience are Dingdong Dantes and Max Collins.
“GMA’s Regional TV is happy to join one of the biggest festivals of Quezon. As Lucena continues to enthrall local and foreign tourists alike because of the city’s warmth, GMA stays committed to keep the fiesta spirit alive all year round,†says Oliver Amoroso, AVP for Regional TV.
