CEBU, Philippines — Members of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Cebu Chapter kicked off Broadcasters’ Month celebration Sunday, September 3.
They started around 7:00 in the morning with a parade from Plaza Independencia to the University of San Carlos Downtown Campus in Cebu City followed with the mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Kristo Suhardi, SVD.

People will get bored with a beautiful face, but they will never get bored with a kind heart,” Suhardi said in his homily.
Other activities followed such as games and the Search for Mr. and Ms. KBP 2023.
