CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines –
GMA-7’s Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga lead
stars Mikael Daez and Andrea Torres with Gabby Eigenmann, together with Hindi Ka Na Mag-iisa cast members Angelu
de Leon, Frank Magalona, Carl Gueverra, and Krystal Reyes experienced a
meaningful Kagay-an Festival as they visited some of today’s modern heroes at
the Camp Evangelista General Hospital last August 25.
The Kapuso stars made time to
personally visit some of the Philippine Army battle casualties – most were
victims of the recent Marawi incident – after giving out loads of fun and
entertainment to Kagay-anon fans who showed up in Barangay Calaanan and
Pelaez
Sports Center for the Kapuso Barangayan and Meet
and Greet, respectively.
For Mikael, the experience
they had was truly enlightening. “It was an eye opening experience to see and
talk to the casualties who have devoted their lives to serve their
country. To actually witness how committed they are to serving the
Philippines was so inspiring. Even
after their traumatic and near fatal injuries, they are still determined to
continue serving,” he said.
On the other hand, Angelu
shared how proud she is of the Philippine Army, “I salute our military men
because of what they are willing and able to offer for our country. I am really
honored that I was given the privilege to spend some time with them. I pray for
their fast recovery,” she said.
Also joining in the
celebration of the Kagay-an Festival were Aljur Abrenica, Kris Bernal, Mark
Herras, Steven Silva, Rochelle Pangilinan, Krizza Neri, the La Diva, Bejamin
Alves, Ryza Cenon, Yassi Pressman, Pekto, John Feir, Bianca King, and Heart
Evangelista.
Last August 24, Aljur and Kris
– lead stars of the upcoming primetime series Coffee Prince – led Kapuso
stars Mark, Steven, Rochelle, and Krizza in spreading the cheers to the local
residents of Barangay Indahag and students of Capitol University via the
Kapuso Barangayan and Kapuso Campus Tour. They were also joined by the La Diva
in the Kapuso Night that happened at the SM Grounds afterwards.
On August 26, Kapuso comedians
Pekto and John, together with GMA Cebu’s Anna Maris Igpit and GMA Davao’s Resci
Rizada hosted GMA Network’s live coverage of the Kagay-an Festival 2012 Cultural
Street Dancing Competition and Golden Float Parade in CDO. Anna, who is also
a beauty queen title holder, served as one of the judges for the
search for the Ms. Kagay-an.
Benjamin, meanwhile, graced
the Civic, Military and Golden Float Parade that attracted an estimated crowd of
20,000 last August 27.
The following day, Luna Blanca stars Heart, Bianca, Ryza,
and Yassi capped off the festivities with an exciting Kapuso Mall Show at
Limketkai Mall.
Says Oliver Amoroso, AVP for
GMA Regional TV, "This year's Kagay-an Festival has indeed become a truly
meaningful experience for all of us. It was not just the usual
showcase of entertainment but rather a celebration filled with compassion
and love from the Kapuso Network. Our utmost gratitude to all our
event partners, especially to the Philippine Army for warmly welcoming
us."
