"Showtime” Packs Great America Park
(More than 12,000 people watched the hottest show during one of summer’s hottest days)

SANTA CLARA, CA, September 15, 2010 –The scorching heat of the summer sun did not deter the flow of more than 12,000 people who watched “One KapamilyaGo” headlined mostly by the hottest noontime TV show today – “Showtime” together with Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu, Angelica Panganiban, Bugoy, Jovit Baldovino, Jabbawockees, Michael Copon, among others.

One Kapamilya Go drew 7,000 to Ontario Convention Centre in California last 2008 and almost 10,000 to the Redwood Amphitheatre and Picnic Pavilion of California’s Great America in Santa Clara in 2009.

The fun started when crowd started arriving and clogged the park’s main gate at around 8:00 am (the doors opened at 10:00am).  They were treated to a wide array of vendor booths offering Tshirts, raffle draws and othe freebies.  The huge Picnic Pavilion was overflowing with Pinoy food, pastries and other delicacies from Goldilocks, Ramar Foods, Seafood City, Papaya Grill, among others.

There were pre-shows that entertained the early birds up until the main show that started at exactly 4:45pm.  

The highlight of the main event was the opening number featuring all of the stars imported from the Philippines –Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Vice Ganda, Angelica Panganiban, Bugoy, Jovit Baldivino, among others.

The audience’s loudest cheers were reserved to the now-rumored-to-be-rocky-loveteam of Kimerald – Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson when they sang “Tayong Dalawa” and “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo”.

Even the local dance and musical groups that competed within the “Showtime” segment of the event were all very good – again, a solid testament to the high quality of entertainment ABS-CBN International and The Filipino Channel has been giving us for more than a decade here in the United States.

The show production cast and crew relaxed later in the night at the Hyatt Hotel’s Mezzanine together with their partners at the CA Great America Park for a victory celebration.

Again, congratulations  to Nerissa Fernandez, Jeffrey Remigio, Angelo Parga, Jun De Guzman, Mouse Munoz, Eric Pugeda, Cory Vidanes, Raffy Lopez and all the production staff responsible for the very successful “One Kapamilya Go”.
