'Voltes V: Legacy' cast takes Iloilo by storm

The "Voltes V: Legacy" cast has been keeping busy, meeting their fans and the media on their regional press tour.

The live action remake cast, Miguel Tan Felix, Ysabel Ortega, Matt Lozano, Radson Flores, and Raphael Landicho all made the trip.

The tour included celebrating the Dinagyang Festival 2023 with a #KapusoMallShow at Robinsons Iloilo to a crowd of excited fans.

The cast performed songs, danced, and yes, even hugged a few lucky fans!

"Very grateful na kasama ko 'yung Voltes team dito sa City of Love or sa Iloilo. And ramdam na ramdam din namin 'yung love ng mga Ilonggo," said Ysabel.

On Instagram, Miguel posted a photo album with some of his co-stars, Matt and Raphael, with the caption, "Promoting is a bit tiring but my co-pilots are making it bearable and so much fun."

Another "Voltes V: Legacy" co-star, Carla Abellana, commented on Miguel's post, writing, "My children!"

Miguel, Matt, and Raphael all responded to Carla's comment, calling her "Mama," with Raphael writing that he missed her.

The show will also star Dennis Trillo, Epy Quizon, and more.

The "Voltes V: Legacy" cast also recently pledged to be lead ambassadors of GMA's "Stream Responsibly. Fight Piracy." campaign in partnership with Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE).

Joining them at the event were GMA Network's First Vice President and Head of International Operations Joseph T. Francia, First Vice President for Legal Affairs Atty. Lynn P. Delfin, and GMA New Media, Inc. President and Chief Operating Officer Dennis Augusto L. Caharian.

Joining them virtually also were GMA Network's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Felipe S. Yalong, Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, and President of GMA Films Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes.

Previously, Paul Ticzon, First Vice President and Head of GMA Network Inc. Post-Production, shared an update on the post-production work on the series, including the graphics and sound design, the latter of which will be unique to each robot.

Even Shinichiro Shirakura, Director of Planning and Production at Toei Company, the original maker of the "Voltes V" anime series, was impressed by the special effects and robots on the show.

"Sana magustuhan nyo. Pinaghirapan namin 'to e -- dugo, pawis, luha," said Miguel.
