STARS indeed rained during the recent Kadayawan Festival as ABS-CBN flew in its popular crowd-drawer stars last Saturday. Filling up the Gaisano Mall to the rafters, Anne Curtis, Gerald Anderson, Coco Martin, Matt Evans, Melissa Ricks along with stars that elicit screams and swoons from the teens like AJ Perez, Enchong Dee, Chris Gutierrez, Arron Villaflor and Robi Domingo, made the city's celebration more memorable.  The Kapamilya stars gamely met the local media in a press briefing before the show.


It Gerald and Coco were their usual laid back self as they expressed their wishes to do more dramatic roles in the future. However, Gerald says that he is getting the dream roles that he always wanted as of now. Coco, meanwhile says that his exposure to doing indie films has harnessed his acting prowess. Too bad Anne Curtis was not around during the tet‚-a-tet‚ with the stars. The Gigger boys were sure lots of fun to interview. Without any affectations, they cracked jokes and teased each other with gusto. Fans all trooped to the venue, enduring the tight-packed elbow-to-elbow crowd, heat and humidity, just to glimpse their favorite Kapamilya stars. Surely, most of them went home tired but happy and wanting for more shows to come in the future. (By Ana Felicia Dulay, Sun.Star Davao newspaper on August 26, 2009.)
