Behind the fiesta

Made for the
love of stories.

Love Fiesta began with a simple curiosity: what happens when we give real people space to talk about love?

Samantha has always loved stories that show the whole truth of connection: the beauty, the awkwardness, and the moments that make us laugh at ourselves.

After returning to the Philippines, she began talking with people about love and dating on the streets of Manila. Love Fiesta grew from that curiosity into a show built around real people, open conversations, and a distinctly Filipino sense of fun.

What drives us

Come as you are.

We believe love stories are more interesting when people can be themselves. Love Fiesta makes room for different identities, backgrounds, and experiences, with humor and heart leading the way.

The show is a Love, Lust, and Loko production, created by Samantha Acuña Cefali.

There’s more to the story.
