Coco Martin and Julia Montes, two of ABS-CBN’s most beloved stars, are set to embark on a historic journey to Kenya, Africa. This is particularly noteworthy as it will be the first opportunity for fans in Kenya to meet them in person. The event is dedicated to celebrating the strong cultural bond between Filipino and African audiences, which has flourished through popular Filipino teleseryes.

The exclusive fan meet, titled “Kapamilya Live in Kenya,” will take place on June 28 at the Nairobi Cinema.

This visit highlights ABS-CBN’s commitment to maintaining relationships with its international audience.

Fans can expect much more than just a meet-and-greet. ABS-CBN’s treasured shows featuring Coco and Julia will also be broadcasted in Africa. Starting in July, viewers can watch the romantic drama “Walang Hanggan” featuring Coco, while Julia will star in the gripping series “Saving Grace” which premieres in September on the StarTimes channel.

Coco’s teleseryes have made a significant impact in Africa, particularly with the action-packed series “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” which is being aired in 41 countries across the continent. Previous programs like “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” known internationally as “Brothers,” garnered much attention as well, having aired from 2021 to 2023.

Julia Montes’ impressive body of work has also resonated with Kenyan viewers. Her past hits, including “Ikaw Lamang,” “Doble Kara,” and “Asintado,” have established her as a favorite among the audience.

ABS-CBN has been providing entertainment to African households since 2003, a testimony to its enduring legacy. Many other beloved series, like “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Lavender Fields,” “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim,” and “The Broken Marriage Vow,” continue to find a receptive audience in various African nations, solidifying the network’s stature in the region.

In summary, Coco Martin and Julia Montes’s upcoming visit to Kenya signifies a unique milestone for ABS-CBN, aiming to strengthen ties between Filipino and African cultures.
