In celebration of its 8th year, GMA International packed the Sheikh Rashid Auditorium in Dubai with eager fans from different parts of the Middle East who came to see four of the biggest Kapuso stars. Held on September 27, the Kapusong Pinoy Sa Dubai: A GMA Pinoy TV Concert featured no less than Asia’s romantic balladeer Christian Bautista, GMA’s fierce songstress Rachelle Ann Go, Asia’s pop sweetheart Julie Anne San Jose, and GMA’s primetime queen Marian Rivera in a two-part musical extravaganza. My-HD, GMA’s exclusive direct-to-home distribution partner of its international channels in the ME region, collaborated with GMA International to make the event possible. Marian had everyone on their feet as she eagerly danced with the crowd. The Kapuso primetime queen shared, “Sa araw ng show, kabado ako, kasi puro singers ang kasama ko. Because supportive sina Rachelle Ann, Christian and Julie Anne, kinaya ko pong makipagsabayan sa kanta at sayaw. First show pa lang po ay super sarap ng pakiramdam dahil sobrang init ng pagtanggap nila sa amin kaya pagdating ng second show, mas lalo pa naming binuhos ang performance namin. Hindi namin naramdaman ang pagod dahil parehong puno ang venue ng mga Kapuso natin na nagsusumikap mag-work sa Dubai. It’s really an experience that I will treasure.” Sunday All Stars mainstays Christian and Rachelle Ann gave memorable performances - both together and apart - and proved that their chemistry on stage is still as strong as ever. “Performing for our kababayans in Dubai was a great experience,” says Christian. “I love the connection that we were able to share with them. And I hope to visit them again soon as well as our kababayans from other countries.”

Rachelle Ann echoes Christian’s sentiment, “It’s always nice to perform for our kababayan in Dubai. Napaka-warm nila and very welcoming, which made it even more memorable,” she recalls. Kahit Nasaan Ka Man lead actress, Julie Anne serenaded the audience with a medley of love songs that only left them wanting for more. Proving what a quintuple recording artist is made of, she took the concert as an opportunity to give back to our modern day heroes. “The hard work they do not just for themselves but also for our country is something we cannot easily repay. So I’m really grateful that I am one of those privileged artists who got to perform for them.” Realizing the tremendous hard work and sacrifice of our Overseas Filipino Workers in the Middle East, GMA International delivered a show that was entertaining and heartwarming. “We hope that through this concert, we were able to make them feel valued and appreciated for their loyalty and continued patronage for GMA International,” said GMA International Vice President and Head of Operations, Joseph T. Francia. The concert’s director, Mark Reyes, encapsulates it all. “Sulit ang malayong biyahe, puyat at pagod ng buong produksyon dahil ramdam na ramdam namin ang pagmamahal ng mga Kapuso natin sa bawat palakpak, halakhak at pagbigay puri nila sa dalawang konsyertong inalay namin para sa kanila. Salamat at mabuhay ang mga Kababayan nating Pinoy sa Dubai!”

7 Marian Rivera Facts She started as a commercial model. Soon after graduating with an AB Psychology degree, she worked at the Philippine Mental Hospital in Mandaluyong. She only worked there for 3 months because when she guested in talk show Sis, she was spotted and contracted by GMA.

She recently ventured into producing films ...her first one being Kung-Fu Divas.
She spends her birthdays doing charity work. It is very important for Marian to give back. One way is by reaching out to the less fortunate. On her birthday visits to charitable institutions, her fan clubs help her out.
After a long work-day, Marian and Dingdong like to eat out. They make it a point to go out at least once a week. They have heartto-heart talks and they update each other about their careers and their lives. They are very open to one another about what they feel.
She has 346,597 Instagram followers @therealmarian

He has a sixth sense: A sense of humor. Once, when he was asked how long he and Marian have been dating, he answered, “Months? Ang binibilang ko kasi seconds eh. Kaso, kukulangin tayo sa papel pag sinulat natin yun!”
