A concert for change

MANILA, Philippines - Top artists jam with the youth tonight at 6 in the first grand eyeball-concert of ABS-CBN’s army of boto patrollers in Ako ang Simula: Himig ng Pagbabago at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) parade grounds and athletic field.

Parokya ni Edgar, Kamikazee, Barbie Almalbis, Moonstar88, Rocksteddy, Bituin Escalante, Bayang Barrios, Kjwan, Pochoy, Peryodiko, Astro Juan and Julianne take the lead and rock it out for change together with ABS-CBN anchors and reporters.

The concert is part of ABS-CBN nationwide election campaign Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo: Ako ang Simula which encourages the youth to take an active role in the society and begin the change they want to see in the country.

ABS-CBN will give away free tickets to boto patrollers and to those who will register to become boto patrollers this week. Existing boto patrollers can claim their tickets tonight in UST. Bring one valid ID picture.

On the same night, ABS-CBN will formally launch its Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo (BMPM) microsite that will make it more convenient for Filipinos to file their reports on-line with its especially customized user-interface. 

Since the start of the campaign last year, BMPM has encouraged the youth to take an active role in the election period by registering to vote. Now, BMPM challenges the youth to take steps and begin the change they want to see in our country.
