ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ leading content creator and storyteller, is making history with its very first major event in Africa—“Kapamilya Live in Kenya”—happening this June 28 at Nairobi Cinema. The special fan event celebrates the unwavering support of African audiences for Filipino programs, bringing two of the network’s biggest stars to meet their loyal viewers in person.
Primetime King Coco Martin and Prime Actress Julia Montes will headline the event, offering fans a chance to interact with the stars behind some of Africa’s most beloved Filipino dramas. Their series—“Walang Hanggan” (My Eternal), “Doble Kara,” and “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” (Brothers)—have all gained massive followings across the continent.
Currently airing in Africa via StarTimes is Coco Martin’s latest hit action-drama, “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” (Gangs of Manila), while upcoming re-runs of “Walang Hanggan” and Julia’s drama “Saving Grace” are set to premiere in July and September respectively.
Coco and Julia both expressed heartfelt appreciation for their African supporters.
“We’re excited to finally thank them personally for their support. We can’t wait to meet the people who have been unexpectedly captivated by our characters and the Filipino stories showcased in ABS-CBN’s series,” said Coco.
“It feels good because this is our chance to give back to them. It’s our turn to return the favor and we hope we can make them happy,” Julia added.
Adding to the excitement, StarTimes, Africa’s leading digital TV operator, has partnered with ABS-CBN as the event’s major sponsor, while KTN, one of Kenya’s top TV networks, will provide live news coverage of the event.
Since 2003, ABS-CBN’s dramas have resonated with African audiences, with recent hit titles like “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Lavender Fields,” “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim,” and “Senior High” captivating viewers across various African countries.
“Kapamilya Live in Kenya” promises to be a landmark celebration of culture, connection, and the power of storytelling—bridging continents through the magic of Filipino drama.
