Eastwood City Walk of Fame

The Walk of Fame marker.

The Eastwood City Walk of Fame or the Walk of Fame Philippines is a walk of fame patterned after the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is located in Eastwood City, Quezon City. It was founded on December 1, 2005.

History

The Walk of Fame Philippines project almost failed to launch due to lack of budget and connection, fortunately the Head of Mowel Fund Miss Boots Anson Roa during that time, recommended to German Moreno to support the project by using his connection to the artists of the Philippines show business, being tagged as the Mr. Showman himself. The unveiling of stars happen every December. Stars were awarded twice a year from 2006 until 2008. Walk of fame is a project of German Moreno, the expense is from his own pocket. [1]

Criteria

There are no clear criteria for the stars to be immortalized in the Philippine version of walk of fame. Names are handpicked[2] by German Moreno. Moreno, at times, has claimed inductees are picked not by request of the inductee[3] but by the person's popularity and contribution to the Philippine entertainment industry and in some cases based on a person's contribution to the Philippines.[4][5][6]

Criticisms

The Walk of Fame Philippines in Eastwood has been criticised for honoring actors based primarily on fame, for inducting actors who are yet to contribute greatly in the entertainment industry and for including foreigners earlier than the locals.[4][7]
