In a continuous effort to engage, educate, and empower the youth, GMA Network is bringing its award-winning “GMA Masterclass” to San Sebastian College-Recoletos (SSC-R) Manila on October 9.
The “GMA Masterclass: The ‘Be Juan Tama’ Conversation Series” will take place on October 9, 2 p.m. at the Bulwagang Diego Cera featuring a powerful lineup of speakers who are hosts of popular infotainment shows: Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes of Amazing Earth, Chris Tiu of i-Bilib, and Asia’s King of Talk Boy Abunda of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
“GMA Masterclass: The ‘Be Juan Tama’ Conversation Series” will focus on GMA’s “Matuto. Matuwa. Be Juan Tama.” advocacy campaign spearheaded by GMA Entertainment that aims to reframe the negative persona of “Juan Tamad” into a positive “Juan Tama” who makes the right choices in the digital age. Through Dantes, Tiu, and Abunda, the event encourages participants to be one in their pursuit of accurate and meaningful information for their mental, emotional, and social well-being. The campaign’s message is further amplified through the partnership with: Anak TV Foundation, National Council for Children’s Television (NCCT), World Wide Fund for Nature-Philippines (WWF-Philippines), Office of Civil Defense (OCD), Philippine Entertainment Portal (Pep.ph), and Philippine Women’s University.
