GMA Network stars join the fun in Buglasan, Masskara Festivals; I-Witness docfest goes to Bacolod

GMA Network brings some of its most sought-after stars to the cities of Dumaguete and Bacolod for the Buglasan and Masskara Festivals. The I-Witness Docufest Regional Tour also hits Bacolod on Sunday.

 

On Saturday, October 12, GMA7's well-loved family sitcom Pepito Manaloto graced Dumaguete City's Buglasan Festival. Stars Manilyn Reynes, Mosang, John Fer, Angel Satsumi, and Arthur Solinap were all there.

 

Early in the afternoon, the cast boarded the Kapuso float for the Buglasan Parade that toured the main streets of Dumaguete, also known as the City of Gentle People.

 

Kapuso Night was held in the city's Quezon Park, featuring the Pepito Manaloto family, this time with the participation of Party Pilipinas' Mark Bautista and Geoff Eigenmann, Sports Pilipinas' and Day-Off's Isabel Oli, Luna Blanca's Chynna Ortaleza, and Protégé contenders Zandra Summer of Cebu, Thea Tolentino of Laguna, and Elle Ramirez of Mega Manila.

 

On October 13, the Kapuso excitement extended all the way to the City of Smiles as child wonder Jillian Ward and Protégé Season 1's Nomer Limatog from Cebu amused audiences in the Little Miss Masskara Pageant Night - a kick-off event for the city's week-long celebration of the Masskara Festival.

 

A series of exciting events and activities for the Masskara Festival are being mounted by the Network including Kapuso Mall Shows in Robinson's Place and SM City Bacolod plus a revelry by Party Pilipinas which will go live on October 21. 

 

Meanwhile, the long-running documentary program I-Witness arrives in Bacolod  for its Docufest Promo Tour on Sunday, October 14. Representing the program is its multi-awarded co-host, Jay Taruc.

 

In the tradition of Serbisyong Totoo, Taruc will first visit 888 Chinatown Event Center at Brgy. IX for a Kapuso Barangayan from 8am to 11am.

 

A free screening of the high-caliber Best of and Award-Winning Blocks by Taruc (Lapnos and Batang Kalabaw), Howie Severino (Saplot and Huling Hala Bira), Kara David (Gintong Putik and Ambulansyang de Paa), and Sandra Aguinaldo (Batch 2012 and Iskul Ko No. 1) will take place at SM Bacolod Cinema 3 from 12 noon to 4:30pm.
