Celebrate and give thanks for the serenity of life, bounties of nature and Davao’s wealthy heritage, as the Kapamilya Karavan now hits the colorful and joyous Kadayawan Festival with some renowned ABS-CBN stars shining on August 21, Saturday, 3 p.m., at Gaisano Atrium, Davao City.

Most celebrated showbiz couple Angelica Panginiban and Derek Ramsay, and today’s most in demand actors John Prats and Matteo Guidicelli heat up the much-awaited caravan with their much awaited hot performances.

After the breathtaking and shocking finale of “Rubi” last week, Angelica is not only ready but excited to go on provincial tours, especially now that her beloved boyfriend Derek is accompanying her. The actress shared she wants to take the opportunity of bonding with the “Magkaribal” star.
“Sobrang nakaka-excite talagang sumama sa Kapamilya Karavan. Davao, abangan nyo kami. Siguradong pasasayahin namin kayo,” Angelica said.

Banana Split’s mainstay John, on the other hand, likes to grab the chance of exploring Davao’s rich culture and history. The adventurous actor also shared that part of his dream is to explore the Philippines’ 7,107 islands.

“I hope after the Karavan, I can stay longer in Davao. Pero kailangan magtrabaho ulit agad. Anyway, I make the most out of my stay there. I’d like to know more about Davao,” said John.
Derived from from Davaoeño word “Madayaw,” which means good and beautiful, the artistic festivity is a thanksgiving for the abundant wonders of nature.
