GMA marks 68th year with thanksgiving party

The brightest and biggest Kapuso personalities gathered for a fun-filled and star-studded evening at the Manila Polo Club in Makati City last July 6 to celebrate the network’s 68th anniversary.

It was an evening of fun and surprises as the network’s stable of stars took the opportunity to bond outside of work and celebrate another year of togetherness.
