OPM singing stars gear up for Christmas concert
A few weeks before the Yulestars Christmas Concert Series unfolds on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, and Dec. 2 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater, anticipation is building up for these shows headlined by the most illustrious OPM singers.
Spearheaded by the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association (PMAAAI), the series stars Joey G and Angeline Quinto with special guest Ice Seguerra for the Nov. 30 concert; Jose Mari Chan, Christian Bautista, and Roselle Nava with the Kilyawan Consortium of Voices for the Dec. 1 show; and Ogie Alcasid and Nina and special guest Ice Seguerra for the Dec. 1 performance. They are excited about their repertoire and looking forward to presenting their musical numbers.
"Siguradong mae-enjoy ng mga fans at talagang makapagpapasaya ito sa mga manonood," said Angeline.
"The audience can expect us to sing our love songs and beautiful Christmas songs," reiterated Ogie.
Aside from the lineup of tunes (that singers usually get to sing only during this season), Nina said that Yulestars is significant to her for two reasons. "One, because it will be the first time Kuya Ogie and I will be together for a concert. Two, I am pleased to share my music and talent for such a great cause."
Proceeds of the Yulestars Christmas Concert Series will go to the less fortunate Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association Inc. members, particularly the fallen and injured personnel and their families.
In separate video messages on the Philippine Military Academy Facebook FB page, Department of National Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff General Romeo Brawner Jr. encouraged military and civilians to support the concert series.
General Brawner said, "Giving and sharing are the true meaning of this season. Ang tulong sa pamamagitan ng sponsorship o panonood ay magsisilbing malaking bahagi upang maipatupad ang mga suportang nais ipamahagi ng PMAAAI."
