The recently concluded 2nd installment to the TV5 Live Caravan was a huge success.  Held at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall last May 1, the whole-day event drew in more than 12,000 people.  Most of these were viewers of TV5 who enjoyed the different program booths, games, stars, and variety show that the channel prepared.

This event is in sync with the thrust of the channel of bringing TV5 closer to its viewers.  According to Jasper Evangelista, Senior VP for Brand Management of TV5, “The objective of the TV5 Live Caravan is to promote TV5 shows and make the viewers go through the TV5 experience.  We want to make it real for the audience and we have planned for TV5 stars to roam the venue and entertain the people via stage performances.  This is also fulfilling our promise of giving our televiewers the thank you they deserve for consistently pushing us up in the ratings game.”

As a summer thanksgiving party, the day-long event kicked off with fun activities that were perfect for the whole family as well as for professionals who spent the holiday enjoying the event. Kids who were playing at the inflatable slide from Kids Republic, Barney, Bob the Builder, and Toogs booths had an extra dose of fun when their favorite Sesame Street characters Cookie Monster and Elmo appeared on stage to dance and play along with everyone.

For the older set, there was the makeover booth for Everybody Hapi where beauty and wellness store Skinfood provided make-up tips; a trivia and hourly raffle set where Philips portable DVD players were given away for the Who Wants to be a Millionaire booth, free Glitter tattoo at the Juicy booth, and World of Fun entertainment systems matched with the other shows of TV5 like the Pump It Up dance experience for Shall We Dance and House of the Dead shooting game for Midnight DJ among other games and programs.

The Caravan also featured celebrity gatherings and performances including the live taping of Juicy!, hosted by Alex Gonzaga and IC Mendoza, with Polo Ravales and Pauleen Luna as guests.

A motley of Pinoy talents were also showcased as an actual auditon was also held during the day for top-rating show Talentadong Pinoy, hosted on-air by Ryan Agoncillo.

The crowd became more ecstatic when TV5 celebrities delivered their performances onstage such as from the gang of Lokomoko High, Lipgloss barkada, Everybody Hapi star Roxanne Guinoo, Oyo Sotto with Midnight DJ co-stars Desiree Del Valle and Joaqui Tupas, Ogags host Arianna Barouk, and Regine Tolentino for Shall We Dance.  The event was wrapped around with a live hourly coverage of Take 5 hosted by Mikee Lee and Cara Eriguel. Another highlight of the event was the appearance of bands Moonstar 88 and Parokya ni Edgar who energetically performed for TV5’s equally electrified audiences.

The event was made more enjoyable by the presence of TV5 partners: Magnolia Powdered Fruit Tea drinks, V-fresh candy, Mall of Asia, Philips, Skinfood, Kids Republic, Albergus, Air21, and World of Fun.

It was such a fun day for everyone and this is just the second of the many upcoming TV5 Live Caravan events that the channel has in store for its viewers.  It was indeed a perfect day to celebrate TV5’s Shake It sa Tag-Init summer campaign.  More events are planned for TV5 viewers so watch out for more shaking things to come!
