The gathering, dubbed “Artists for Mar,” was held at the MESA restaurant along T. Morato Ave. cor. Sct. Fernandez, Q.C.
Conceptualized as a fitting show of support from the stars, the thanksgiving press conference was also attended in full force by the various TV networks as well as editors, columnists and writers from the entertainment media.
