GMA Sparkle actor Ruru Madrid shared his excitement to perform at the Grand MassKara Festival of Bacolod at a media conference on October 20.
Madrid, with other GMA Sparkle Artists expressed their anticipation in celebrating the world-famous MassKara Festival in Bacolod. He added that he was excited to celebrate Kapuso Fans Day with the Kapusong Negrense.
“Kami gusto rin namin [sa festivals] hindi lang para ipromote ‘yung mga shows na ginagawa po namin, [kung ‘di] para maki celebrate din kasama yung mga kapuso po natin,” said Madrid.
While his co-artist Derrick Monasterio affirmed his statement, the latter added that he enjoyed the cultural aspect of the festival.
“Masaya, kasi nagsi-celebrate tayo ng mga festival, ang ibig sabihin kasi niyan, feast day [ng] mga saint. Minsan [kasi] nakakalimutan ng mga tao ang true essence ng mga festival, which is to commemorate the saints.”
Madrid shared that he was delighted to bring laughter and smiles to the Kapuso fans. He added that the happiness of the audience marks the show’s success.
“Sobrang nakakatuwa, kasi syempre ibig sabihin po no’n marami pong mga taong nakakapanood po nito – at sumusuporta rito … Everytime na meron po kaming napapasayang mga tao, ibig sabihin parang mission accomplished kami.”
He promoted GMA’s hit reality TV show Running Man Philippines, and said that the show’s unique and authentic interactions set them apart from other reality TV shows.
“Ang kaibahan kasi nu’ng Running Man Philippines, ibang iba siya doon sa ibang reality show na ginagawa dito saatin. Sobrang authentic namin sa isa’t isa, kaming pito… Sabi ko nga pagka-stressed ka… manood ka lang ng Running Man Philippines, kahit papaano, mababawasan ‘yung mga problemang pinagdadaanan natin.”
Aside from Running Man Philippines, the actor also appeared in GMA’s TV series, Lolong, which concluded on September 30.
