GMA Network is set to bring some of its biggest stars—led by Alyas Robin Hood himself, Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes—to Davao City this week to celebrate the much-anticipated Kadayawan Festival.

On Thursday (August 17), the cast of the highest rating daytime drama Ika-6 Na Utos treat their loyal fans to a Kapuso Mall Show. Sunshine Dizon, Gabby Concepcion, Ryza Cenon, and Mike Tan will be in Gaisano Mall Davao for the mall show that will begin at 4 p.m. The four Kapuso actors bring to life the characters of Emma, Rome, Georgia, and Angelo.

The following day (August 18), upcoming primetime series My Korean Jagiya will bring the kilig to Dabawenyos a few days before it airs its pilot episode. Philippine TV’s Sweetheart Heart Evangelista-Escudero leads the stars who will be at the Kapuso Mall Show in SM City Davao at 4 p.m. Joining Heart is her leading man, newest Kapuso actor and K-Pop idol Alexander Lee.  Adding fun to the event are Edgar Allan Guzman and Myke Salomon.

Providing more entertainment to the mall show are the new hosts of All-Star Videoke, Solenn Heusaff and Betong Sumaya. All-Star Videoke is set to make a comeback on television soon and Solenn and Betong will surely give the audience a peek of what to expect from the musical game show.

On Sunday (August 20),  fresh from its successful second season return, the hit primetime series Alyas Robin Hood will surely make the Kadayawan Festival extra special as Dingdong banners the Kapuso Float during the Pamulak sa Kadayawan or the Kadayawan Float Parade at 8 a.m. The Alyas Robin Hood actor will be joined by his leading ladies Andrea Torres and Solenn.

Come afternoon, Dingdong, Andrea, and Solenn will head to SM City Davao for a Kapuso Mall Show at 3 p.m. Spreading kilig as well in the mall show are Dave Bornea and Lindsay de Vera who play Julian and Lizzy in the series.

Last week, hit telefantasya series Mulawin VS Ravena kicked off the Kapuso Network’s participation in this year’s Kadayawan celebration. Miguel Tanfelix and Derrick Monasterio, who play Pagaspas and Almiro in the series respectively, flew to Davao City for a Kapuso Mall Show in Gaisano Mall Toril. The Kadayawan Festival is an annual grand thanksgiving for the bountiful harvest of fruits, flowers, and other produce of Davao City.

“We always look forward to celebrate the Kadayawan Festival with our Kapusong Dabawenyos,” says GMA’s Vice President and Head of Regional TV Oliver Amoroso. “This year, we are proud to bring some of the biggest and brightest stars of today, with no less than Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes and Philippine TV’s Sweetheart Heart Evangelista-Escudero leading the list of celebrities joining the Kadayawan Festival activities. We will continue to treat our loyal viewers to these events as our way of thanking them for keeping GMA Network number 1 nationwide,” he adds.
