The much-awaited gathering of showbiz’s brightest stars is happening.
In a teaser on Tuesday, ABS-CBN announced that it will be staging the ABS-CBN Ball this year. In the video, a shiny logo of the ball’s logo appears on screen with the year 2023 right at the bottom. Apart from that, a text that reads “the new chapter” is added on the next slide.
ABS-CBN Ball, which first took place in 2018, was the replacement of sorts for the annual Star Magic Ball, which itself began in 2007. As the ABS-CBN Ball, it became a much more open event to Kapamilya stars handled by other artist management companies, as well as other showbiz personalities. The last time the ball was held was in 2019, before taking a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, there was supposed to be an ABS-CBN Ball, set to be held on October 2, 2022. However, likely due to scheduling conflicts of many artists, it had to be canceled.
With its return, ABS-CBN Ball is expected to invite Kapamilya stars, executives, and other personalities in local showbizlandia. The interesting sight of members from GMA and TV5 networks being in the said event, is also a huge possibility.
The date for the 2023 Ball has yet to be announced by ABS-CBN.
