Yasmien Kurdi wears same gown from 'StarStruck' days in GMA Gala 2025
On social media, the Kapuso actress shared a photo of herself on the blue carpet at the gala night, confidently strutting in a red tube gown—an upcycled version of the one she wore 21 years ago.
"Do you remember this gown? This is the very same gown I wore during Starstruck's Judgement Night 21 years ago!" Yasmien said.
According to Yasmien, she wanted to quietly pay tribute to everything GMA Network has done for her, so she decided to have the gown upcycled by Filipino fashion designer JC Buendia.
"I had the best time at the Gala reconnecting with old friends who truly feel like family. Happy 75th, GMA! Here's to many more years of storytelling and memories," she wrote.
Yasmien was among the contestants of "StarStruck" Season 1 that aired on GMA Network in 2023. She finished as the First Princess with Jennylyn Mercado being hailed as the Ultimate Female Survivor.
She is married to Rey Soldevilla and has two daughters, Ayesha and Raya.

Vince Maristela enjoying the moment as fans get kilig over Akiro, Terra in 'Sang'gre'
Vince Maristela plays the best friend of Bianca Umali in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre," and fans are loving the hint of possible romance between their characters Akiro and Terra. Akiro is a steadfast supporter of Terra as she uses her powers to help people in need, even creating her Sang'gre superhero costume from scratch. On the sidelines of the GMA Gala 2025, Vince told GMA News Online that he is simply enjoying the moment now that fans are seeing the scenes they worked on for a long time. "Nakakatuwa lang kapag nakikita ko sa social media kung ano 'yung mga comments ng mga tao na napapamahal sila sa character ko at ako din naman, hindi din kasi naglalayo 'yung character ko with Akiro," he said. "Ganun talaga 'yung character ko, medyo hopeless romantic. Nakikita naman ng tao 'yun, at sobrang proud ako kasi lumalabas 'yung effectiveness ko as an actor," he added. Among the scenes that made viewers kilig was when Terra grabbed Akiro's hand and when Akiro told Terra in a soft voice to calm down. In the upcoming episodes, it seems like their friendship will be tested with a reward being offered to those who can identify Sang'gre and Akiro's family suddenly facing trouble. Meanwhile in real life, Vince is also charming fans as himself on X. He engages netizens in playful banter and he has become a happy pill for many online. The Sparkle actor, who finished his stint inside the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" in May, said he did not expect to get that reaction from the platform. "Nung una gusto ko lang talagang mag-check ng X kung pa'no 'yung mga tao dun at natutuwa lang ako kasi nakakuha ako ng humor, nakuha ko 'yung humor nila," he said. "Kaya ine-enjoy ko din talaga makipag-usap sa mga fans kasi alam mo naman, grabe din 'yung suporta nila sa akin," he added. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it on YouTube via the Kapuso Livestream.

BarDa fans raise more than P100K for children's education, emergency aid
Fans of Barbie Forteza and David Licauco have donated over P100K in support of children's rights Two fan clubs of Barbie Forteza and David Licauco have come together to raise more than P100,000 in support of support of children's rights. Both GMA Sparkle artists are ambassadors of Save the Children, to whom the BarDa Fans Club donated P100,000 while Barbienatics contributed P10,000. The sums of money were raised from donation drives launched to celebrate the birthdays of the celebrities; David's in June and Barbie's in July. In a statement, Barbie said "Being loved and supported by our fans is already such a blessing. Knowing they now also stand for what we stand for, especially for children's rights and education, is truly moving. Lala na ngayon, when many families have ben affected by recent typhoons and floods." "We're proud of the fans who are now advocates, too. Salad kami sa Inyo. Thank you for using your energy and generosity to support something bigger than all of us like the future of children," David added. The donation comes as Save the Children ramps up its emergency response for families affected by tropical cyclones Crising, Dante, and Emong, and the rains brought about by the Southwest Monsoon. The fans' support also reflects the broader commitment of GMA Network, a media partner of Save the Children Philippines. As the home of both artists, GMA currently airs Forteza in the ongoing primetime teleserye 'Beauty Empire' and the recently released horror film 'P77,' while Licauco stars in the action series 'Never Say Die.' 'Thank you very much to BarDa FC for Project BarDa Cares, and of course to Barbie, David, and to GMA Network for making all this possible. Every contribution you give comes from the heart and goes to children in need,' said Save the Children Chief Executive Officer Alberto Muyot. Save the Children continues to deliver programs that ensure children stay healthy, learn, are protected and can meaningfully participate—whether in daily life or during emergencies. These efforts are made possible with the support of partners, ambassadors, and communities like the BarDa fandom.
