Kris Aquino and son Baby James were wearing somber clothes that fit the drab weather. The two stayed until the end of the concert.

They were seated in an enclosed VIP area immediately in front of the stage.

Just like her would-be sister-in-law Kris Aquino, councilor Shalani Soledad also watched the whole concert. Her boyfriend, Pres. Noynoy Aquino, arrived only towards the end of the concert.

Joshua, Kris Aquino's first son, was seated beside his would-be Tita, Shalani Soledad.

Joshua is very close to his Tito Noynoy Aquino.

Pinky Aquino-Abellada, Noynoy Aquino's sister, also came to enjoy the show.

Also present were Aquino sisters Ballsy Aquino-Cruz and Viel Aquino-Dee (not in picture).

Pinoys from all over Manila came to take part in the night's merriment. Even though heavy rain poured halfway through the concert, the audience stood their ground and stayed through the end.

The security at the event was tight. A metal barricade barred the audience from getting near the stage.

Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano opened the victory concert with his intense dance moves and song number.

Gary V. sang his hit "Hataw Na."

John Prats (left) and Rayver Cruz of Supahdance encouraged the audience to stand on their feet by dancing up a storm... and a storm did they bring! 

The rain started falling minutes after John and Rayver stepped off the stage.

The night's hosts were (from left) Mariel Rodriguez, Anne Curtis, and Vhong Navarro.

The three were obviously having fun onstage. At one point, they tried to stop the rain by having a spontaneous talent show-off.

Mariel sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and Vhong danced to the tune of Anne's beatbox. Unfortunately, the rain poured down stronger.

Kapamilya love teams next came up onstage to cheers of adoring fans.They all sang Colbie Caillat's "Falling for You."

Queenie Padilla and Ejay Falcon are partners in ABS-CBN's early primetime soap Momay.

The night's theme was unity. To stress this point, singers from GMA-7's Party Pilipinas and ABS-CBN's ASAP XV sang duets.

 Jay-R of Party Pilipinas sang David Cook's "Time of My Life" with...

At one point, Pokwang pulled the long hair off her head. It turned out to be a wig!

And then she tucked the hair at the back of her pants, and acted like a horse.

Tickled pink, Pooh stopped singing and commented, "Ay, kabayo!"

Arnel Pineda did not let the night pass without performing for his kababayans.

Arnel sang Bon Jovi songs, "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer."

Kapamilya hunks (from left) Jake Cuenca, Gerald Anderson, and Coco Martin had fun onstage while singing Eraserheads' "Ligaya."

After the song, the three joked around a bit, taunting each other to reveal why they were "extra happy."

After a brief chat with his family, President  Aquino went up the stage to sing. He said he couldn't miss performing that night because he had promised Pinoys he would sing them a song if he won the presidency.

P-Noy first sang a romantic song, "Watch What Happens" by Sergio Mendes. Everybody wondered, to whom was he dedicating this romantic song, which he seemed to be singing ardently?

Vhong Navarro was not to be left without his own photo op.

Pres. Aquino's performance ended the victory party at around 11:30 p.m. A 10-minute fireworks display punctuated the successful event.
