The event brought together the hottest stars from the platform's hit digital series, with surprise happenings and exclusive sneak peeks of upcoming projects that were teased throughout the night.

The evening kicked off with soulful solo and duet numbers from Miia Bella and Kylu, followed by a fiery performance from Viva's newest P-pop girl group RAYA, which debuted their latest single, Diva Diba.

Not to be outdone was Viva's very own P-pop boy group GAT, which brought the house down with their high-energy hit Kakaiba, joined by the Vivarkadas for an explosive opening production number.

The excitement soared as the "Univerkadas" from the "University Series" stormed the stage with a playful performance of Kakaibabe. Leading the fun were Heaven Peralejo, Bea Binene, Nicole Omillo, Krissha Viaje and Aubrey Caraan. Meanwhile, heartthrobs Marco Gallo, Gab Lagman, Andre Yllana, Francis Magundayao and Gabby Padilla heated up the crowd with a number that left fans screaming for more.

A standout moment came when Aubrey shone under the spotlight with her solo rendition of How You Feel.

But the night wouldn't be complete without the swoon-worthy performances of VivaOne's hottest love teams. "MarVen" (Marco and Heaven) of "The Rain in España" serenaded the audience with Hanggang Sa Buwan.

But before their performance together started on stage, Marco admitted that during rehearsals, it instantly brought back memories with his ex-girlfriend Heaven. The actor shared that memories of their mall show together often came flooding back.

"Heaven would always leave a smile. All those memories, it doesn't matter if we don't end up together, I will cherish that until I get older," Marco said in an exclusive interview with The STAR.

With a playful tone, he added, "Ako nga rin nag-rerelapse ako. eh... Joke lang."
