Filipino on-screen couple Jerome Ponce and Krissha Viaje are returning to Dubai in November, organizers told Expat Media. The actors, who have garnered a strong fan base with their work in the Philippines, will be attending a special event at the Filipino Academy’s graduation ceremony at Emirates Towers on November 9 at 12pm. The stars will be joined by their Univerkada co-actors Hyacinth Callado, Gab Lagman, Jairus Aquino, and Aaliyah Tuazon. Univerkada, a popular series produced by Viva Films, draws its storyline from Wattpad novels, a platform that has gained immense popularity among Filipino youth. Last June, Ponce and Viaje made headlines with their first UAE visit, during which they performed at Kalayaan 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Their appearances attracted large crowds and showcased the actors’ dedication to connecting with their overseas fans. They also made guest appearances in Filipino-focused stores in Dubai, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi in visits facilitated by Expat Media Solutions. For Dubai’s Filipino community, events like this are not just entertainment but also an opportunity to reconnect with their culture. Fans eagerly anticipate the duo’s visit. “Seeing Jerome and Krissha brings a sense of home to us,” Lisa Santos, a long-time Dubai resident, told Expat Media. Organizers expect a high turnout for the event, which will feature photo opportunities. Fans are encouraged to attend early and contact Filipino Academy, as space may be limited. ICA/Expat Media
