Pre-GMA Gala dinner


This private event serves as an exciting prelude to the much anticipated GMA Gala 2025.

Several Kapuso stars came together once again for an intimate evening at Sparkle GMA Artist Center's pre-GMA Gala dinner last Thursday (July 24).

Held at the Hotel Okura Manila, the night sparkled with heartwarming reunions and excitement for the upcoming GMA Gala 2025.

Gracing the event were GMA executives, including GMA Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes; GMA Network Senior Vice President and Head for GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Mr. Oliver B. Amoroso; GMA Kapuso Foundation's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ms. Rikki Escudero-Catibog; and Sparkle GMA Artist Center's First Vice President and Head Joy Marcelo.

The night was star-studded with Kapuso artists, including beauties Sanya Lopez, Bianca Umali, Angel Guardian, Jillian Ward, Sofia Pablo, Yasmien Kurdi, Janeena Chan, Rere Madrid, and Faye Lorenzo.

Dashing actors were also present such as Isko Moreno, Jak Roberto, Kelvin Miranda, Allen Ansay, Rocco Nacino, and many more.

Adding to the energy were Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition stars Mika Salamanca, Will Ashley, Shuvee Etrata, Dustin Yu, Charlie Fleming, AZ Martinez, Michael Sager, Josh Ford, and Vince Maristela.

The GMA Gala 2025 Partners' Night also marked a heartwarming moment. On behalf of the sponsors and the whole gala team, GMA Network gladly turned over P2.5 million in donations to the GMA Kapuso Foundation for the victims of the recent typhoons and flooding.

"Talagang ginawa natin ang Partners' Night for the benefit of Kapuso Foundation and tamang-tama nangangailangan sila ng tulong ngayon," Ms. Annette said in an interview with GMA Integrated News.

"So specifically, all the proceeds at least two million na nalikom natin tonight ay mapupunta particularly for the calamity victims."

The said amount also includes the on-the-spot surprise donation of P500,000 by one of the event's sponsors, Bingo Plus.

Don't miss the most dazzling event of the year as GMA Gala 2025 will be held on August 2, 2025.
