n celebration of the Kapuso month last February, Kapuso actress and host Solenn Heussaff starred in a series of shows for Filipinos in London, Rome, Paris, and Copenhagen.

The European caravan featuring Solenn was organized by GMA’s flagship international channel, GMA Pinoy TV (GPTV), in partnership with Prismworks Productions and Lyca TV. Lyca TV is the world’s largest ethnic content online entertainment provider which allows Kapuso viewers to enjoy their favorite programs not just at home, but also on their mobile devices. GMA’s three international channels, GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV and GMA News TV International were launched in over 16 countries in Europe last September 2015.

Solenn’s first stop was the United Kingdom, where she, together with GMA First Vice President and Head of International Operations Joseph T. Francia and the GPTV team, paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency Enrique Manalo, Philippine Ambassador to the Court of St. James.

Solenn performed for esteemed guests at ENFID-UK’s “Fab @ Four” event at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury. She showed her fierce yet elegant side as she walked down the runway, wearing clothes

by Filipina designer Jackie Peñalosa.

GMA KAPUSO MAGAZINE |MARCH 2016 ISSUE

Italy was Solenn’s next destination where she entertained overseas Filipino workers via the show dubbed, “Ciao, Rome!” arranged

by Dreamers Productions.

Spreading the Kapuso spirit on the eve of Valentine’s Day, Solenn performed alongside local performers and thrilled the crowd at the Sala Ouverture Roma with her sexiness and energy.

On February 14, Solenn celebrated the Day of Love in the most romantic city in the world, Paris.

Joining her fellow French-Filipinos in “Handog 2015: Philippine-Paris Ball” in Club Haussmann, Solenn was a hit among the audience, who loved her rendition of a classic French song. The evening’s festivities recognized exceptional Filipinos, as well as Filipino community organizations and businesses in France.

Before heading back to Manila, Solenn had one final stop in Denmark on February 16 for “Hej, Copenhagen!” held at the Sankt Annæ Kirke, in cooperation with the Filipino Danish Center. Solenn was the highlight of the night, which also recognized the community works of the Filipino Danish Center and the launch of GMA Pinoy TV in the country.
