David Licauco looks forward to the upcoming third edition of the GMA Gala, slated for July 20, 2024.
The prestigious event, set to happen at the grand ballroom of the Manila Marriott Hotel in Parañaque City, wll be graced by stars from both GMA-7 and ABS-CBN.
This year's theme is black, white, and sparkling.
When asked about his outfit, David said he has given his style and glam team the freedom to creatively interpret the theme.
"I just leave it all to my team," David told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during an exclusive interview at his meet-and-greet event for Oppo Reno 12 Series, held at SM City Pampanga on July 14, 2024.
He added, "Sina David Millan and my make-up artist Nathan, bahala na sila."
Apart from the usual haircuts prior to the event, David said he’ll need to recharge his social battery, especially since he’s admittedly an introvert.
He said, "Wala namang [iba]... siguro for me, nagpapagupit, yung typical, di ba?
"But I have to prepare myself to be confident. Alam mo naman na medyo mahiyain tayo."
DAVID LICAUCO GIFTS A FAN
Meanwhile, David confessed that he still feels overwhelmed by the fans flocking to his endorsement events.
"Siyempre, overwhelming, ang dami nila," he exclaimed.
"And, ayun. Saka, super laki ng blessing sa akin na kinuha ako ng brand na Oppo kasi nakaganda talaga ng brand na ito, e.
"So, super happy."
Several fortunate fans had the opportunity to interact closely with David during the event.
Some participated in games with him, while others had the opportunity to take group photos with the Kapuso actor.
One fan, however, had an exceptionally memorable experience.
In one segment, David picked a lucky fan named Yvette to to try the AI demo feature of the phone.
The ecstatic fan said being that close to David was the best early birthday present, especially with her birthday coming up on July 18, 2024.
Seeing that she was using a much older version of the cellphone brand, David thought of surprising her with a gift: a new phone.
PEP asked if he was serious about this, he said, "Oo, bigyan natin, nasan na ba siya?"
He added, "Wala lang... kasi, nakita ko na same phone user siya. Nasa Oppo Reno 7 pa siya. Tapos wala lang, parang gusto ko lang magbigay."
In a brief conversation with PEP.ph, the fan gushed about David's surprise.
Yvette told PEP.ph. "Sobrang saya ko po, siyempre. Nung una po, parang ayaw ko po maniwala.
"Pero noong after po ng event, may mga nagtatanong po talaga, 'Totoo ba yun?'"
She added, "Kuya, mas gagalingan ko pa and thank you po sa promise po ninyo.
"Abangan ko rin po yung mga bago po ninyong palabas."
