MANILA, Philippines - In celebration of the 15th year of The Filipino Channel (TFC), Filipino fans worldwide will get the chance to see homegrown talents and entertainment even if they are miles away from the Philippines.
A series of world tours, concerts, and events featuring ABS-CBN’s artists are lined up by ABS-CBN Global.
“Our offices in the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, Middle East, and Europe allow us to better understand what our kapamilya are interested to watch. Being overseas Filipino workers ourselves, we know how our kababayan look forward to seeing Filipino artists perform for them,” says Raffy Lopez, ABS-CBN Global COO.
The fun began last Sept. 20, with One Kapamilya, Go! in Great America Theme Park in Sta. Clara, California.  The whole day event featured a star-studded show, film screening, fun games and activities, and an unlimited theme park ride experience. John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo led the Kapamilya stars in bringing fun to Filipinos in the US. They were joined by Kanto Boyz Vhong Navarro and Luis Manzano, Chokoleit and Candy Pangilinan, Billy Joe Crawford, Charice, Laarni Lozada and Bugoy Drilon.
Today, Sam Milby, Randy Santiago, Giselle Sanchez, and Pinoy Dream Academy stars will perform at 2D The Next Level in Nagoya, Japan. In Canada, Vilma Santos together with John Lloyd and Luis will join the screening of In My Life on Oct. 3 and 4.
The Heartthrobs European Tour is scheduled from Oct. 31 to Nov. 8, with Sam Milby, Piolo Pascual, John Lloyd and Pokwang performing for Filipinos in Israel, Barcelona, Dublin, Rome and London.
The World Tours will be capped by a major performance in the Middle East as A.S.A.P. ‘09 goes live in Dubai on Dec. 3 and 4.
“We are overwhelmed every time we see the positive results of the work we put in bringing entertainment to Filipinos abroad. We are inspired all the more to organize shows for our kapamilya, wherever they are,” said Raffy Lopez.
