Since the passing of German Moreno January this year, his son Federico Moreno has stepped in to continue the projects of the Master Showman, including the Walk of Fame Philippines.
It started in 2005, patterned after the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Though there is no clear criteria in choosing the inductees, the late German Moreno claimed that it is based on one’s popularity and contribution to the Philippine entertainment industry.
