Filipinos in Saudi Arabia gathered together at the Cobra Amusement Park in Dammam on April 7 to celebrate “Bayanihan Festival 2017,” an event sponsored by GMA Pinoy TV.
Making the festivities more colorful was Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista whom Kapuso fans welcomed warmly upon his arrival in Middle East kingdom. GMA’s flagship international channel, GMA Pinoy TV, invited the Kapuso singer-actor to serenade his kababayans in time for the celebration of the Araw ng Kagitingan in the Philippines.
The audience was thrilled as Christian performed his signature OPM and pop songs. They also grabbed every opportunity to take Bautista’s photo while he was singing on stage.
Christian, in turn, expressed his pleasure with the fans during the eventful celebration. “Singing for fellow Filipinos in [Saudi] was a real treat. They were so warm and friendly. We enjoyed singing together our favorite OPM songs. Hopefully we can see each other again soon,” Christian said.
Christian is set to star in the much-awaited Filipino TV adaptation of the hit Korean series My Love from the Star, which will premiere in May on GMA Pinoy TV.
The Bayanihan Festival 2017 was organized by the Bayanihan Entertainment Group – KSA and Cobra Entertainment City. GMA Pinoy TV was the exclusive media sponsor for the event.
