Kapuso, the moment you've all been waiting for is here. GMA Gala is set to make its highly-anticipated comeback this year!

Sparkle GMA Artist Center recently confirmed that GMA Gala is back for its second year and will commence on July 22, 2023. Other details such as the theme and attendees are yet to be unveiled in the next coming weeks.

Last year, GMA held its first-ever Thanksgiving Gala which also happens to be a fund-raising event for the benefit of the GMA Kapuso Foundation. The success of the event helped the kids of Southern Leyte be able to study in a more conducive school building.

During the previous year's event, we were gifted with a number of stylish looks from Sparkle celebrities who embodied Old Hollywood glamour. And while we're on the topic of reminiscing, check out the most iconic ensembles last year in the gallery below.
