GMA Network, through its regional arm GMA Regional TV (RTV), joins forces with the Municipality of Kalibo in celebration of the Kalibo Sto. Niño Ati-atihan Festival 2023.

 

GMA RTV is set to bring Kapuso artists to grace the Mother of all Philippine Festivals in January 2023 where the Bb. Kalibo Ati-atihan Pageant Night and the Kapuso Fiesta will be held on January 10 and January 12, respectively.

“GMA Network has been at the forefront of promoting the best of the Philippines and of the Filipinos. Through the various initiatives of GMA Regional TV, we continue to celebrate the country’s regional festivals. And as we slowly go back to producing in-person events in the regions, we are more than thrilled to partner once again with the Municipality of Kalibo and the Kalibo Sto. Niño Ati-atihan Festival 2023. Expect a series of colorful and star-studded events as we are now gearing up for an exciting Ati-Atihan celebration this 2023,” said GMA Regional TV and Synergy First Vice President and Head Oliver Victor Amoroso.
