OPM Artists United in Icons at the MOA Arena Concert

Once more OPM artists join forces to perform on one stage, in one language -- that is Pinoy Music. This one time concert event is in connection to the grand launch of MOA Arena.

A Once and a Lifetime Experience at Viva's Anniversary Concert: All for One

I don't usually join online contest either on Facebook or Twitter. But if case I join, it's out of interest. And luckily, I was the one who got to win 4 concert tickets for the All for One - Martin Nievera and Side A held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum (formerly Araneta Coliseum). The concert is part of Viva's Anniversary. It was the first time Martin Nievera and Side A to perform together. They sang classic OPM hits and movie theme songs. The crowd sang along and even dance in upbeat songs like Party Rock Anthem. Guest performers were Anne Curtis and Sarah Geronimo. I forgot to mention that I was able to meet and greet both Martin Nievera and Side A after the concert. It was a memorable night indeed. more concert photos.....
