All-out fun in Sunday All Stars

MANILA, Philippines - Prepare for an all-out fun this afternoon as the brightest and hottest Kapuso stars unite for the launch of the newest and most exciting musical-variety program dubbed as Sunday All Stars (SAS).

“We always associate Sundays with fun and that’s what SAS promises to give the viewers — all-out fun and excitement,” said GMA Network’s officer-in-charge for Entertainment TV Lilybeth Rasonable.

“Sunday noon can truly be fun! There’s the enjoyment of watching world-class performances conceptualized by the artists themselves, plus the excitement of seeing your favorite stars engage in games and be real, competitive and creative,” added GMA’s VP for Entertainment TV Marivin Arayata.

With the format of the new program, the cast members of Sunday All Stars will have the unique opportunity to further bond with one another. There will be four celebrity teams, with each team headed by a Kapuso artist, who will participate in a showdown via production numbers every week.
