'Kapamilya' Stars Rock Japan (Part 2)

It was a wintry cold night turned fiery as the stars of the teleserye,“Pangarap na Bituin” together with the ultimate hearththrob Sam Milby heated up Kawasaki Kyouiku-Bunka Kaikan last November 24.
Following the huge success of the launching of TFCko last March through “Kapamilya Invades Japan: The Dream Concert Tour 2007”, ABS-CBN Global has once again brought to Japan its roster of talents to entertain hundreds of TFCko subscribers and guests via “Yokoso Kapamilya: The ABS-CBN Housewarming Party”.

The stars of “Pangarap na Bituin” which include Jericho Rosales who played “Terrence”, Rica Peralejo as “Sapphire”, Maja Salvador as “Ruby”, Jay-R Siaboc as “Jeffrey” and Pooh as “Papa Bern” in the hit teleserye, delighted the audience with their lively performances.
Reel life sweethearts Maja Salvador and Jay-R Siaboc kicked off the show with their bubbly rave of the popular dance craze, “Kembot”. They also rendered a duet and solo performances that wowed and captivated the audience.

Fast rising comedian Pooh sent the crowd into howls of laughter as he delivered his funny antics and staged a stand-up comedy while singing “How DidYou Know?” and “Sway”.
The equally-talented and ever beautiful Rica Peralejo, she, with the ravishing figure and milk-white complexion, also showcased her singing and dancing prowess on stage. Besides all that dazzle and jazz, Rica is also brainy and intelligent as proven by her passing the tests to enter Ateneo University for a creative writing course. Hunk actor and singer Jericho Rosales serenaded the audience with his own renditions of “Pangako Sa’yo”, “Makita Kang Muli”, and “Pangarap naBituin”, theme songs of the teleseryes which he starred in. He also crooned, showing his smooth and suave good looks to great advantage, and danced (can he dance!) to popular Pinoy songs which made the crowd crave for more.

Straight from the airport, the ultimate heartthrob and KDDI endorser, Sam Milby, arrived almost breathless (but his college boy handsomeness still unruffled) on stage, and without missing a beat, sang “Right Here Waiting”and his own versions of “My Girl” and “Maging Sino Ka Man”. No wonder why countless girls go gaga over him!
After their solo acts, they all gathered on stage in singing “Pinoy Ako”and “Sikat ang Pinoy”. They made us proud of being a Pinoy!

In closing, ABS-CBN Global AVP and Head of Manila Operations Jeffrey Remigio expressed his gratitude to all the TFCko subscribers here in Japan and hoped that everyone could experience the station’s Christmas ID, “One Country, One Family, One Christmas”.
Gifts and giveaways were given to lucky guests from the audience, afterwards. The same show was also held at Osaka Business Park Enkei Hall the following day. The event was presented by ABS-CBN Global and KDDI in partnership with the Philippine Consulate General in Osaka-Kobe.
