Good night, Kuya Germs

It was—and quite literally too—a scene straight out of Walang Tulugan. On Wednesday evening, color, glitz, music, laughter and celebrity filled GMA Network’s necrological service for the late Master Showman German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, right where he hosted his weekly late night variety show at Studio 7.

Serving as the last night of his wake before today’s interment, the gathering served as Moreno’s final homecoming at GMA where he started his TV career in the 1970s. And with loyalty a non-negotiable for the Master Showman, he spent the rest of his showbiz days with Channel 7, and appeared on his 18-year-old program a week before his demise.
