The Kapusong Iliganon gone wild as the shining and glimmering roster of stars from GMA Network rocks Iligan during the 2011 Diyandi Festival Kapuso Night held at the world class institution of learning, Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology Gymnasium, Iligan City.
Prior to the coronation night of Miss Iligan 2011, at exactly 2:00 PM, the Kapusong Toto-o “DocuFest” was also successfully staged at the University’s Mini Theatre, spearhead by one of the Network’s famous “I Juander” host and award winning director and reporter Cesar Apolinario. During the event, issues such as, the important role that the media plays in shaping the negative perception of the people towards Mindanao was tackled. Students from the Political Science of MSU-IIT raised questions to urge Mr. Cesar Apolinario to do something about it—avoid sensationalizing the reports about the war in Mindanao.
During the Miss Iligan 2011 coronation night, the gorgeous Victor Aliwalas served as the host of the pageant and joined in the next morning the Kapuso Diyandi Festival Float Parade escorting the winners of Miss Iligan 2011. He should be joined with Ms. Sam Pinto that night; however she did not make it, because of typhoon Pedring. In her tweet, she apologized to the people of Iligan for not making it and hoped that they would understand.
The Kapuso Night in Iligan City was very successful, though the stars arrived late due to flight delays, because of typhoon Pedring.
Well, Iliganons were lucky that night, despite Pedring’s wrath the Bubble Gang and youtube duo Moy Moy Palaboy, the hot and oozing with sex appeal Tj Trinidad together with Ms. Ynna Asistio of the horror movie The Road, two of the Protégé’s formidable mentors RNB prince Jay-r, and Ms. Rachelle Anne Go and Bubble Gang's Ruffa Mae Quinto were all present to rock the Kapusong Iliganon. The event was hosted by a Cebuano beauty queen, Ana Maris Igpit. I used to follow her in her Bb. Pilipinas days.
As you can see in the videos, thousands of the Iliganon’s flock into the venue and many people were not even allowed to enter the venue to avoid any danger to happen. I was just so lucky during the coronation night that I was with the people from the media and the people from the City Tourism Office, if not; I would have ended behind the gates of MSU-IIT. During the Kapuso Night, I went to the venue at 3:00 o’clock just to make sure that I will be inside the gym before the great flock of people will come, and to find a better place to take photos and videos while the stars are performing.
I saw happy people, giggling, screaming and shouting with excitement during the event.
We the Iliganons “Thank’s You!” Kapuso Stars for gracing our Diyandi Festival 2011. Thank you for being part of our celebration and we are looking forward to once again welcome you in our 2012 events…Iliganons are certified Kapuso!
