The Sunday variety show of GMA 7 bids farewell last Feb. 28, 2010. After 13 years in the air the said show, hosts come are come and go, ratings were up and down and awards are accepted, the show had came to and end…

I still Remember watching Sobrang Okay Pare During my highschool days and I remember some hosts suchs as Bernadeth Allyson, Vina Morales, Lani Misalucha etc…  And the reason I watched the said show before was watching one of my favorite dance group performed, Kids at work. Also there are some unforgettable segments that the show had were,back to back to back, three of a kind and the weekly dance lessons of Vina Morales.

It was indeed gave us hundreds of very entertaining Sundays…

It was goodbye to SOP but a welcome to a new show. Party, Pilipinas!
