The concert also features Sipol band with musical direction by Marvin Querido.

“I am very excited and happy to be part of this event. It is a pleasure and a privilege to perform with these great artists as well as to provide entertainment to OFW families. They’ve been working really hard and this is a great chance for them to relax and unwind with their families,” said Jericho Rosales.

Aside from the concert, a nationwide talent-search entitled, “Gintong Galing” is also being sponsored by Western Union, as a way of recognizing and valuing the golden talents of the Filipinos.

“Western Union has been part of Filipino families across the globe for decades, because of this we know and understand the needs of our customers, thus we think of ways on how we can provide opportunities for OFW families to bond and enjoy each other’s company. And we feel that this concert is an event that they can enjoy as a family,” said Patricia Riingen, senior vice president, Pacific & Indochina.
