GMA Network, with 65 years of making a difference in the entertainment industry, joins the Bacoleños in celebrating this year’s Masskara Festival with consecutive Kapuso Mall Shows by its stars at t6he heart of the City of Smiles. Award winning actress Lovi Poe and Kapuso hearthrob Benjamin Alves of Beautiful Strangers personally met and bonded with the Bacoleños during their mall show on October 11, 2015, 5:00 PM, at the SM City Bacolod Main Atrium. They were joined by Chinoy rising star Ken Chan and Brazilian-Japanese actor/model Fabio ibe, the lead stars of the afternoon primetime teleserye Destiny Rose, who gave special numbers to the excitement of the fans. Still trying to catch their breaths, Bacoleño fans were again treated with another Kapuso Mall Show the following day, on October 12, 2015, still at the SM City Bacolod Main Atrrium but this time with the stars of Buena Familia - Asia’s Pop Sweetheart Julie Ann San Jose and co-stars Julian Trono and Jake Vargas – gave performances for the enjoyment of the fans as well as play fun games with them. The Kapuso Mall Shows were highly successful with the fans getting the chance to see their idols in person. Prior to the 2-day Kapuso Mall Shows, the GMA stars also met up with the Bacolod media to update them of the developments in Beautiful Strangers, Destiny Rose, and Buena Familia as well as the careers and new projects of the visiting stars. The Bacolod media got a better glimpse of the characters portrayed by the Kapuso stars and how they give life to them on the screen. Oliver Amoroso, GMA’s Head for Regional strategy and Business Development Division said, “Every year, GMA network is always happy to celebrate with the Bacoleños for the Masskara Festival. Bringing to you GMA’s biggest Kapuso stars is our way of extending the Network’s gratitude for Bacolod city’s unwavering support.” Fans of Kapuso stars can get hold of the latest regional events by following GMA on Facebook at www.facebook.com/gmanetwork and GMA regional TV at www.facebook.com/GMARegionalTV and on Twitter and Instagram via @GMARegionalTV.
