GMA Network is sure to make this year’s celebration of Masskara Festival extra memorable as the stars of its top-rating Telababad shows join their fans in Bacolod City for a back-to-back treat this month.

Flying to the City of Smiles this Friday (October 14) is the complicated love triangle cast of Someone to Watch Over Me. Kapuso actors Tom Rodriguez, Lovi Poe, and Max Collins take a break from their heartwarming drama to spend time with their Negrense fans. They will be in a Kapuso Mall Show in SM City Bacolod Main Atrium starting 5 p.m.

Come next Saturday (October 22), the stars of Encantadia namely Sanya Lopez, Rocco Nacino, Klea Pineda, and Migo Adecer bring magic to Bacolod City as they headline the Kapuso Mall Show in SM City Bacolod Main Atrium at 5 p.m.

“We are excited to share the good news that two top-rating shows of GMA Telebabad will be joining us for this year’s Masskara Festival. This only shows how we value the celebrations of our fellow Kapuso all around the country,” says Oliver Amoroso, Officer-in-Charge of GMA’s Regional TV Department. “We hope our Kapusong Negrense will have a great time with the back-to-back Kapuso Mall Shows we prepared for them as part of this major celebration,” adds Amoroso.

The two Kapuso series continue to beef up GMA 7 in the primetime block. Recent data from the industry’s trusted ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement show that the telefantasya Encantadia is the highest-rating Kapuso program among the most-watched shows in NUTAM.

Someone to Watch Over Me,  meanwhile, continues to attract  more viewers as they get hooked to the story of TJ (Tom) who has an early-onset Alzheimer's disease, as well as the struggle of his wife Joanna (Lovi), and his ex-girlfriend, Irene (Max).

The world-famous Masskara Festival traces its roots in the early ‘80s and features vibrant street dance competitions led by colorfully masked dancers. It is the biggest event held annually in Bacolod City, and one of the most-anticipated festivals in the country.

It will be a weekend of star-studded treats as various Kapuso celebrities join this year’s Kadayawan Festival in Davao City.

On Saturday (August 20), the stars of the hit telefantasya Encantadia will banner the Kapuso Mall Show in Gaisano Mall Davao at 4 p.m. Sang’gres Kylie Padilla and Glaiza de Castro are sure to spread magic among their fans together with their Encantadia co-stars Ruru Madrid and Migo Adecer. Moreover, Davaoeños will swoon to GMA Artist Center’s James Wright as he joins the Encantadia stars that afternoon.

Prior to their mall show, the Kapuso stars will bring fun and entertainment to the residents of Barangay 23-C for a Kapuso Barangayan to be held at the barangay’s covered court at 1 p.m.

GMA will also be part of the Pamulak sa Kadayawan Float Parade on Sunday (August 21). The Encantadia cast will be on the Kapuso Float which will head on to Rizal Park from Magsaysay Street beginning 8 a.m.

The fun does not stop here as more Kapuso stars are expected to join Davaoeños on their annual celebration of Davao City’s biggest festival.

Another Kapuso Mall Show will be held in Abreeza Mall at 4 p.m. featuring the stars of GMA shows Juan Happy Love Story, Sinungaling Mong Puso, and the upcoming drama series Someone to Watch Over Me.

Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo, who stars in the sexy comedy series, Juan Happy Love Story, will be joined by his co-star, Kim Domingo.

Bringing fun and entertainment to Davaoeños as well are the lead actors of GMA Afternoon Prime’s Sinungaling Mong Puso—Rhian Ramos, Rafael Rosell, and Kiko Estrada.

Award-winning actress Lovi Poe and Kapuso leading man Tom Rodriguez, meanwhile, are sure to make their fans happy as they join in to promote their forthcoming show on GMA.

“The Kapuso Network is excited and proud to bring our GMA artists closer to the people who make their shows successful. The Kadayawan Festival is one of the many celebrations we look forward to be part of every year. It is during such festivals that we are able to further give back to our Kapuso fans by letting them meet their favorite celebrities,” said Officer-in-Charge of Regional TV Department Oliver Amoroso. “We thank our Kapusong Dabawenyos for giving us a warm welcome every time we are here,” he added.
