The GMA Gala 2025 wasn’t just about stunning fashion — it was also a celebration of charisma, chemistry, and pure star power. Held at the Marriott Hotel, the Kapuso network’s 75th anniversary gala ended on a high note with the announcement of this year’s awardees — and fans couldn’t get enough.
Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, fondly dubbed “BreKa” by fans, were named Couple of the Night, after serving undeniable chemistry and red carpet kilig. The PBB Celebrity Collab Edition Big Winners arrived late but made it count, with Brent’s subtle yet sweet gestures to Mika catching the attention of viewers — and the judges.
On the style front, David Licauco and Kyline Alcantara reigned supreme, taking home the Best Dressed Awards with looks that combined polish, personality, and presence.
Meanwhile, Carla Abellana and Esnyr didn’t just walk the carpet — they owned it. Both stars were awarded Scene Stealers of the Night, with Esnyr’s icy blue Manny Halasan jumpsuit and Carla’s head-turning gown proving impossible to ignore.
Rising Stars Shine Bright
Kapuso breakout Will Ashley and fresh face Wynona Collings were named Male and Female Young Stars of the Night, cementing their status as young talents to watch. Will also bagged the BingoPlus Heart of the Night Award, while Wynona’s entrance sparked major buzz online.
