MORE than 50 celebrity performers paid tribute to Filipino teachers online during the Gabay Guro 2021.

The performing artists included Joey Albert, Gigi De Lana, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Jona, Kuh Ledesma, Kyla, Regine Velasquez, Angeline Quinto, Morisette, and megastar Sharon Cuneta, who rendered a ‘Divas Medley’ during the show entitled ‘Guro sa Gitna ng Pandemya: Heroes for Digital Transformation.’

The program was streamed Saturday (October 2) via Gabay Guro’s Facebook page and YouTube channel starting at 2 p.m.

PLDT Gabay Guro Chairperson Chaye Cabal-Revilla said the program discussed the welfare of teachers and avoided talks about politics.

“We don’t want Gabay Guro to be used (as a) political arena. We have declined offers of donations from politicians,” she said.

Aside from the divas’ collaboration, musical director Eloisa Matias also curated several production numbers featuring some of the country’s leading musical artists.

Iconic ballads medley featured the likes of Jose Mari Chan, Martin Nievera, Nonoy Zuniga, and Basil Valdez, while Awra Briguela, Rhap Salazar, iDOLLS, and Wacky Kiray rendered a testimonial and medley songs.

Gabay Guro invited over half a million teachers to download the Gabay Guro Super App for them to be able to watch the streamed tribute.

Since 2007, Gabay Guro has been empowering teachers across the country through its core pillars: Classroom Donations, Connectivity and Computerization, Scholarships; Teachers’ Trainings; Livelihood Projects; Digital Innovation; and the Teacher’s Tribute.
