In just a few days, the red carpet will sparkle brighter than ever as GMA Gala 2025 takes center stage - bringing together the biggest and brightest stars in Philippine entertainment for one truly extraordinary and unforgettable night.

During the event, GMA and Sparkle donated ₱2 million to aid flood victims of recent typhoons and the Southwest Monsoon. The donation was officially turned over by GMA Network Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes and Sparkle First Vice President Ms. Joy Marcelo to GMA Kapuso Foundation Executive Vice President and COO Ms. Rikki Escudero-Catibog. BingoPlus Foundation also contributed an additional ₱500,000 to support GMA and Sparkle's collective relief efforts. As GMA Gala 2025 honors the Kapuso legacy, it also shines a spotlight on GMA's exciting collaborations with trailblazing names in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, media, and technology. Sparkle GMA Artist Center, the Network's premier talent management arm, has been teasing major announcements and exclusive previews, generating massive excitement across digital platforms. And as the excitement continues to build, more behind-the-scenes and other pre-Gala highlights are made available - giving fans VIP access to the stars' preparations leading to the event.
