Diño-Seguerra said that she’s very glad that the network is their media partner to broadcast and promote events, including Sine Sandaan, which will have a red carpet special on September 12 at the New Frontier Theater.
The Sine Sandaan will be a 3-hour-long program that will pay tribute to the men and women of cinema.
“It’s a 3 hour event of really celebrating the history of the 100 years. And ayon nga, ABS-CBN will cover from the red carpet ceremonies to the cocktail reception [and] up to the event itself,” she said.
Diño-Seguerra said that the event itself is a big celebration. “We have 300 luminaries going to be really given this recognition, and we’re going to treat them to an entire night of just thanking them for their contributions.
“Meron tayong chauffered limo na magbababa sa kanila from Novotel. May two hour na red carpet ceremonies just to get everyone really dressed up and enjoy yung dating heydays ng Philippine Cinema na nakabihis lahat. Parang siyang Oscars.”

The country’s biggest stars – even those who are inactive or have retired – are expected to join the celebration.
Also part of the 100 years celebration is the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino, which will formally start on September 13. The awards night of the PPP is scheduled on September 15. A film industry conference is also part of the line up of activities this month.
The FDCP is also preparing activities in the other parts of the Philippines as part of the year-long celebration.— Rappler.com
