Preceding the launch of GMA Pinoy TV in the evening, the Kapuso Network in partnership with Starmedia Entertainment and other establishments are conducting a Fiesta GMA on July 23 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the same venue. Fiesta GMA will provide the best of what San Francisco is known for: clothing retailing booths, car dealers, importers of Asian products to merchandisers and a cauldron of different ethnic tummy fillers to satisfy the palate. The Fiesta GMA aims to be a family affair as special surprises have been prepared to cater to the young and young-at-heart. A myriad of entertainers will take part in Fiesta GMA; among them is the beautiful wife of Richard Gomez, Lucy Torres, who will be one of the hosts of Fiesta GMA.
