Richard Gutierrez proved that his relationship with GMA-7 remains intact and strong despite the recent controversy involving his movie project with KC Concepcion. "It's a very big event for all the Kapuso. We're all very proud of this new building. We've worked hard for it and I think this is the fruit of the hard work of all the Kapuso's, so everyone's very happy," Richard told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

The inauguration gave Richard a chance to catch up with good friend and former co-star Rhian Ramos. Richard was not able to attend Rhian's debut last October 3 at the Manila Peninsula in Makati City as he was in Europe at the time.

"Tinext ko siya na ‘di talaga ako makakapunta at siyempre nanghinayang ako na wala ako dun. Rhian is very special to me at nagsumila siya na kasama ko at nakita ko ‘yong growth niya as an actress... sayang wala ako dun," explained Richard to the press in a recent press conference.

Camille Prats momentarily left her maternal duties at home as she glammed up for the occasion.

"We got married August 19 [2008]. Nung Thursday [October 9] ko lang nalaman na pregnant ako. Grabe, I'm so happy too! Nagulat lang. Do you think I should tell the truth na that I was engaged na for two years and kept it dahil inutusan ako? I don't want to lie anymore," she confided to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) contributor Dinno Erece.

A preview of things to come: Mark Anthony Fernandez and Heart Evangelista will be paired in GMA-7's upcoming fantasy series titled Luna Mystica.

"Ang alam ko, magaling naman na artista si Heart and ine-expect ko na isang magaling na artistang Heart ang makakasama ko. At saka, siyempre, yung makakakita ka ng isang magandang Heart Evangelista," said Mark in a previous interview.

Talking about her gown, former beauty queen turned host Miriam Quiambao explained to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal): "I like it because it's fresh. I think it's very summery coz we live in a tropical country and it goes well with my skin [tone]."

Jay-R temporarily ditched his distinct R&B style by performing the Queen's classic "Bohemian Rhapsody," complete with grand stage production in keeping with the song's flamboyance.

One of GMA-7's strengths is the fantasy genre. The production number rendered by Julie Ann San Jose, Robert Villar and Jasmine Villegas perfectly captured the magical, fairy-tale vibes popularized by the network through its fantaseryes. The number also showed off the boundless possibilities of GMA-7's world-class facilities.

Regine Velasquez and Basil Valdez performed "Windmills of your Mind" and "Gaano Ba Kadalas ang Minsan" while video clips of different romantic scenes taken from GMA-7 shows played in the background.

Bringing their popular Bubble Gang sketch titled "Ang Spoiled" at the event, Michael V and Ogie Alcasid brought the house down with a number to the tune of Ogie's early hit "Dito Sa Puso Ko." Here, Ogie flashes the "loser" sign while Michael V  counters with his "winner" sign.

Construction of the GMA Network Studios started in 2006. The building proves to be more than just an "annex" as it proudly houses world-class production facilities.

"We are confident that, with the GMA Network Studios, we are at par with the big broadcast studios worldwide... setting the bar in TV production here in the Philippines," said GMA Network Chairman, President and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon.

Also here are  three rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms and makeup rooms, a green room, set construction area, museum, souvenir shop, props storage, as well as administrative and production offices.

The evening would not be complete, of course, without GMA-7's two prized talents—Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes—doing a dance number, flamenco. Incidentally, that same evening was the final telecast of their hit primetime series, Dyesebel. Their appearance came at a time when rumors are abuzz that something special is going on between them.

South Border's chief lyricist Jay Durias and Queen of Soul Jaya serenaded the GMA-7 stars as they all paraded on center stage. Jay delivered the song "You Are So Beautiful," which was popularized by Joe Cocker, while Jaya rendered the moving "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."

Sexy Katrina Halili was paired with Gagambino leading man Dennis Trillo. In a press conference last October 13 at Studio 3 of GMA Network Center, Dennis didn't rule out his possibly falling for the two-time FHM Sexiest Woman. "Ayoko naman magsalita ng tapos, di ba? Pero alam mo na hindi natin masasabi ‘yong mga posibilidad dahil matagal pa kaming magsasama."

Codename: Asero lead star Richard Gutierrez, together with La Lola guest star Iza Calzado, delivered the evening's closing remarks. Iza and Richard were the last pair presented during the program's parade of stars.
