Star Magic, ABS-CBN's talent arm, continues to help fellow Pinoys who were direly affected by recent typhoons.  After walking the ramp, 70 of its talents joined the benefit concert held last Friday, November 13, at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.  Aside from ticket sales, the talent fee of each artist will go to ABS-CBN Foundation Sagip Kapamilya Relief Operations.

Acoustic singer Nyoy Volante, JM Rodriguez, WCOPA grand champion Rhap Salazar together sang "Man in the Mirror" as a tribute to Michael Jackson. Towards the end of the performance, Sam Concepcion imitated the King of Pop's signature dance moves.

Before the finale, a video presentation called "I Pledge" was shown to the audience.  Each Star Magic talent gave his/her pledge for different causes, like setting a good example for the youth, being a good taxpayer, being nationalistic, and protecting mother nature.

"Together, we commit to stay true to our pledges. Together, we pledge to live in honesty and with integrity because together, we pledge; together, we will make a difference," the Star Magic talents vowed.

The  pledge on video was followed Vina and Piolo's solo performances. Piolo did a duet with Claudine, singing Jim Brickman's  "The Gift." 

The show ended with all the Star Magic talents, who were in all-white attire, gathered on stage. In chorus, they sang Yeng's winning piece, "Hawak Kamay."

The event was attended by ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio, Star Cinema managing director Malou Santos, movie director Olivia Lamasan, and Star Magic vice president Mariole Alberto.
