GMA awards P25M prizes to lucky viewers

MANILA, Philippines - GMA Network gave out cash prizes, cars, pick-ups and a house and lot to lucky viewers during the grand draw of its biggest network promo yet, Kapuso Milyonaryo Todo Papremyo.

Out of millions of entries, 15 winners were announced in Sunday All Stars last Aug. 18.

The promo’s prizes changed the lives of many, among them Yolanda Lacson of Bataan. “My prize is a huge blessing,” said Yolanda, who is one of the nine winners of P1M tax-free.

Yolanda, whose house was affected by the recent floods brought by tropical storm Maring, shared that the cash prize would help them improve their home.“We’ll have a second floor built to keep us safe when it rains or floods,” said Yolanda.

Joanna Duran of Bukidnon, who regularly joins GMA promos, got lucky this year. She said, “This is my first time to win and I got P1M!” Joanna said that they no longer have to rent the tricycle her husband uses to earn a living, “We’ll be able to buy our own tricycle with the prize money.”

Another life-changing prize went to Emily Talosig of Quezon City. She said winning the house and lot from Camella is a dream come true. Emily, her husband and two kids live with her mother and soon  they will be moving into their new Camella home in Plantacion Meridienne, Lipa City, Batangas. “I’m very happy and grateful that we’re finally going to have our own house,” said Emily.

Throughout the eight-week promo, there were nine winners of P1M cash from partner sponsors, one winner of P500,000 from Argentina Corned Beef; two winners of cars from Energen; two winners of JAC Stallion pick-ups; and one winner of a house and lot from Camella. In the weekly draws, a total of 64 winners took home P7,000 and 320 winners received P10,000 from Surf, Sunsilk, Creamsilk and Knorr Cubes. Three surprise winners of P1M were also drawn.

The Kapuso Network with partner sponsors Globe Prepaid, Argentina Corned Beef, Yakult, Surf, Sunsilk, Creamsilk, Knorr Cubes, Energen and Nescafé Classic gave out over P25M in cash and prizes, tax-free.
