Noted singers, composers and top celebrities of the Philippine music industry are expected to gather and lend glitter to the annual PMPC Star Awards for Music this Sunday, September 14, 2014, starting at 7 PM, at the Grand Ballroom of the Solaire Resort and Casino in Paranaque City.
Now on its 6th year, the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC), in cooperation with Airtime Marketing, Inc., has prepared another star-studded program showcasing an impressive line-up of performers.
To perform for the opening number are the nominees for the category Song of the Year, with excerpts from each nominated song: Abra, with "Gayuma," Basilyo ("Lord, Patawad"), Sarah Geronimo ("Ikot"), Gloc 9 ("Magda"), Kris Lawrence ("Ikaw Pala") and Jonalyn Viray ("Help Me Get Over"). Another nominee, Angeline Quinto (for "Nag-Iisa") is presently out of the country and will not be able to participate in the show's opening number.
Maja Salvador, who is one of the hosts that night, will lead a dance exhibition. She will co-host the ceremonies with Jake Cuenca and balladeer Christian Bautista. Meanwhile, Mr. Pure Energy himself, Gary Valenciano, will sing a duet with daughter Kiana Valenciano.
This year's Star Awards for Music is also giving two Lifetime Achievement Awards, named after the Philippine Music Industry's great artists, namely Asia's Queen of Songs Ms. Pilita Corrales and National Artist for Music Levi Celerio.
To receive the Parangal Levi Celerio is Maestro Ryan Cayabyab. To sing in the tribute number are Ms. Celeste Legaspi, Christian Bautista and the Ryan Cayabyab Singers (RCS).
To receive the Pilita Corrales Lifetime Achievement Award is internationally-renowned and multi-awarded musical artist, actor and television host, Ms. Lea Salonga.
