'Pulang Araw' stars celebrate Independence Day in different cities

The cast of "Pulang Araw" joined different cities in the Philippines in celebrating the country's 126th Independence Day.

According to Jasmin Gabriel-Galban's report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, Barbie Forteza and David Licauco visited Mandaue City Hall Grounds in Cebu.

"Inaanyayahan po namin kayo ni David na sana panoorin at suportahan ang bagong obra ng GMA na 'Pulang Araw.' Hango po ito sa totoong kuwento ng mga Pilipino na siyang nagsakripisyo para maabot natin ang kalayaang natatamasa natin ngayon," the Kapuso Primetime Princess said in her message.

"Dahil nakapunta kami sa ganitong klaseng event, eh mas makikita mo 'yung true meaning of Independence Day," David said.

Meanwhile, Sanya Lopez led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine Flag at the Batangas Capitol.

Dennis Trillo and Ashley Ortega also joined the flag-raising ceremony in Tarlac City.

"Kailangan nilang mapanood itong 'Pulang Araw' dahil dito niyo makikita gaano kagigiting 'yung mga Pilipino, dahil makikita n'yo dito 'yung hirap na pinagdaanan nila," Dennis said.

"Ito ang isang show na nakaka-proud ipakita sa mga Pilipino, kasi ito ang show na ipapakita ang tapang mga Pilipinong mga nagsakripisyo noong World War II," Ashley said.

Alden Richards also went all the way to Davao City and participated in their celebrations.

Earlier this week, the cast proudly raised the Philippine flag ahead of Independence Day.

Barbie also recited a poem about loving and fighting for the country.

The series will make its debut on Netflix on July 26, three days before it airs on GMA Prime.

The "Pulang Araw" cast also includes Rhian Ramos, Epy Quizon, Mikoy Morales, Angelu De Leon, Aidan Veneracion, Rochelle Pangilinan, and more. It is directed by Dominic Zapata.
