Back in 2005, the Eastwood City Walk of Fame or Walk of Fame Philippines was established. These stars are located in Eastwood City, Quezon City, following the idea of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Movie Welfare Workers Foundation (MOWELFUND) head Miss Boots Anson-Roa decided to tap “Kuya Germs” (German Moreno, also known as Mr. Showman) to help the project push through.
The Walk of Fame was launched on December 1 that year. Since then, more stars get inducted during the month of December.
In 2023, the German Moreno Walk of Fame Foundation (formerly the Walk of Fame Gallery and Museum), funded by Moreno during his lifetime, still carries the tradition. Entrepreneur Alice Eduardo became co-owner in 2013, playing a key role in its survival.
Today, Megaworld’s Head Kevin Tan sits as chairman of the board; the president is Federico Moreno, Kuya Germs’ only child.
Congratulations to all the inductees for their well-deserved recognition!
