It was an original Filipino teleserye starring budding young stars that launched on August 10, 2015 and surprised many when it shot up like a shooting star to the top five of national TV ratings in the Philippines and has consistently stayed there since then. It has produced a breakthrough love team that has become a global phenomenon with a fan following that cuts across age, gender, geographies and socio-economic strata.
Come this Sunday, January 10, ABS-CBN International’s The Filipino Channel (TFC) a global brand that offers, among others, the world’s most widely distributed premium and on demand channel showing Filipino content on multiple platforms is bringing a live experience of the magic behind this sensational romantic comedy with “On The Wings Of Love Certified Kapamilya Fans Day” at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, a site listed on the National Historic Register of the U.S. and one of the most beloved buildings in California.
“OTWOL, as the teleserye is called by fans, is a story that started here in Northern California, so it’s just fitting to kick off what will become a global tour this 2016 in the area where the story began,” said Ricky Resurreccion, ABS-CBN North America head of Ad Sales, Trade Marketing and Events.
TFC left no stone unturned in preparing for a true fans day with loads of activities for attendees (for a full experience on event day, download and open the TFC Live App, Kapamilya.com/tfclive). In fact, fans will get a chance to share the same stage as the cast during the main show (visit http://www.tfc-usa.com/OTWOL/)
Bringing in the phenomenal love team of James Reid (Clark) and Nadine Lustre (Leah), TFC raised the cast temperature a notch by including the popular character of Sir Simon played by acclaimed actor Paulo Avelino, and the soaring voice behind the theme song, Kyla, who celebrated her 15th anniversary in showbiz last November.
Resurreccion clearly explained what “On The Wings Of Love Certified Kapamilya Fans Day” is on a recent Instagram post:
“Pre #OTWOLFansDayFans’ Day! Learning about 2 major fan-initiated activities (as I’m sure there are others) are planned for Saturday the 9th really warmed up my cold heart. This is personally my vision of a TFC Fans Day organic, fan-initiated activities happening alongside what we have already officially planned.
“Whenever TFC mounts an event, it’s never about making a quick buck or providing you with mindless entertainment or meaningless engagements with the stars. We believe in putting sound rationale behind every activity and strengthening the community in whatever we do.
“Kudos to our friends from @bayareaotwolistas and @jadinesunited for spear heading these activities. I’m pretty sure you will be creating memorable moments with @wljdunitedstates, @jadine_internationalofc, @jadine_internationalsd, @jadine.sd, @jadine_sf, @reidersglobies, @jadinetroop, @reidiks, @kehrbears, @jamesreidworld, @nadzworld, @jadine_thunder, @jadinelovess, @otwolstills, @jadinefied and thousands of other fans all over the world invested in this event. Sana invited ang TFC sa mga activities niyo! Haha!
“Aside from the stars and our staff, the fans are an integral part in every success of a TFC event, anywhere in the world. Kaya ako #FanOfFans, eh. I hope to see and know as many of you this weekend!”
