Including these recent inclusions, the count of celebrities from various fields such as television, film, radio, journalism, music, theater, and social media, honored on the pavements of Eastwood City, now stands at 364.

Among the initial figures to grace the red carpet were Annette Gozon-Valdes, Senior Vice President for Programming at GMA Network, and Joy Marcelo, who serves as the vice president for Sparkle, the network’s talent division. Johnny “Mr. M” Manahan, who was the chairman emeritus of ABS-CBN’s Star Magic and currently consultant of Sparkle GMA Artist Center, was also there to unveil his star. 

In the meantime, Vic del Rosario Jr., the chairman and CEO of Viva Communications, Inc., a significant contributor to the advancement of Philippine entertainment, also attended the event. Solar Entertainment President Wilson Tieng was also present to reveal his star.

For musicians, drummer Mark Escueta and bassist Nathan Azarcon from Rivermaya were joined by former guitarist Kakoy Legaspi. The Walk of Fame acknowledgment marks another significant achievement for the band, following their recent celebration of 30 years in the industry with a highly successful reunion concert featuring their original ’90s lineup. The legendary 1980s band The Dawn, fronted by vocalist Jet Pangan, received well-deserved acknowledgment. 

In the News and Public Affairs sector, business journalist Cathy Yap-Yang, Kapuso entertainment reporter Lhar Santiago, and DZBB radio anchor Joel Reyes Zobel were honored as this year’s inductees.

They also included vloggers and social media influencers. Reflecting the present era, social media personality Small Laude was awarded a star, symbolizing the significant influence and popularity of influencers and online personalities in today’s digital landscape.

In 2005, Kuya Germs introduced the Walk of Fame as the Philippine counterpart to the renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame in California, USA.
