GMA Gala 2025 preparations now in full swing
As the countdown begins, the GMA Gala 2025 is already deep into preparations, promising an unforgettable event that will celebrate GMA Network's 75th anniversary. According to Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras' Friday, among the event's organizers are GMA Network Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes and Sparkle GMA Artist Center First Vice President Joy Marcelo. 'Ako, I'm excited personally to see how our stars will level up what they're wearing, their styling. So I'm very excited to see that. And every Gala, I see them just mingling, enjoying each other's company, and sana ito talagang maging opportunity again for them to just be themselves and enjoy. Enjoy friendship, enjoy the feeling of family,' Gozon-Valdes said. The event will be styled by Gideon Hermosa. 'Since we are celebrating, I mean, GMA is celebrating their 75th anniversary this year, yes, diamond anniversary, so it's going to be bigger, and I would say more unique and siyempre mas bongga,' he said. Guests will be served a three-course meal made with imported ingredients. 'It's all about glamour, it's all about quality, it's all about GMA,' Marriott Hotel Manila Executive Chef Meik Brammer said. Stars are already finalizing their looks for the momentous occasion, each bringing a unique vision to their attire. 'Yes, may gown na po. May theme ulit siya. And 'yun lang po. May theme kasi every time I do a gala, may kwento 'yung ginagawa ko, may kwento 'yung gown,' Kylie Padilla said. 'Meron na akong vision na sana. Maganda kasi 'yung gusto kong gown,' Kazel Kinouchi said. Jak Roberto says he wants to go simple. 'Suit and tie lang naman eh. Ang mahalaga lang sa amin mag-sharpen 'yung dating namin, maging dapper talaga pag dating sa Gala,' he said. Michael Sager said that he is excited to reunite with his fellow "PBB" housemates at the event. 'We'll go classic again, but lagyan natin ng konting twist para special,' he said. 'Gusto ko, class. May iba din tayong atake 'ba gano'n. Pakitaan ko sila na puwede tayong mag-high fashion,' Shuvee Etrata said. The GMA Gala is returning for its fourth year, and it will be held on August 2. The event is a star-studded gathering of Kapuso stars and other showbiz personalities. They walk down the red carpet in fashionable outfits and enjoy an evening of camaraderie and celebration. Proceeds of the event go to a charitable cause. Last year, the funds were donated to the GMA Kapuso Foundation for the benefit of Typhoon Carina victims. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
