GMA Network joins 2011 Peñafrancia Festival

Leading broadcast station GMA Network is all set to add more spice to Naga City's Peñafrancia Festival this weekend with some of the brightest and hottest Kapuso stars from Party Pilipinas, Futbolilits, and two upcoming GMA shows Ikaw Lang ang Mamahalin and Kung Aagawin mo ang Langit!

Kapusong Bicolanos will be treated to an enchanting evening as Heart Evangelista, Daniel Matsunaga, Steven Silva, Barbie Forteza, Joshua Dionisio, Joyce Ching, Kristoffer Martin, and Andrea Torres banner the “Peñafrancia Festival Kapuso Night”  happening at the SM City Naga Event Center  on September 18 at six in the evening. The event will be hosted by Bubble Gang’s Moymoy Palaboy and GMA Cebu's Anna Maris Igpit. 

The Peñafrancia festivities kicked-off last September 7 with an evening of music, elegance and style for the search for the “Miss Bicolandia 2011.” Supporters who showed up at the Naga City Coliseum were entertained by the heartwarming songs of King of Soul and Protégé mentor Janno Gibbs and a dance production number from Party Pilipinas’ Enzo Pineda. With them that night were Kapuso artists Isabel Daza and Victor Aliwalas, who both served as pageant hosts.

It was followed by the “Peñafrancia Festival Traslacion Procession” on September 9, which was shown live via GMA TV Naga, powered by the country’s most awarded broadcast news organization, GMA News and Public Affairs. Viewers who spent the day in the comfort of their homes were able to watch the breathtaking events of the procession via the Kapuso TV Special.

“Every year, the Kapuso Network looks forward in joining the Peñafrancia Festival. For this year, it is extra special with the back-to-back participation of our News and Public Affairs Group for their live coverage of the Traslacion last Friday and Entertainment TV Group’s Kapuso Night at the SM Naga on Sunday,” Oliver Amoroso, Assistant Vice President for Regional TV said.

The highlights of the festival can be seen via the TV Special airing on all eight (8) regional stations of the network in Naga City, Dagupan City, Cebu City, Iloilo City, Bacolod City, Cagayan de Oro, Davao City, and General Santos City, on October 2 from 8:30am to 9:30am.
