Cinema One’s 20th anniversary concert

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Cinema One recently marked its 20 years of staying by the side of its fans through an anniversary concert which celebrated movies through music.

The channel, which has been the top-rating channel on total cable households nationwide for many years, staged this celebration, which featured the Philippines’ best artists.

Those who took the stage along with host KC Concepcion for the star-studded evening were Jed Madela, Angeline Quinto, Jovit Baldivino and KZ Tandingan, who kicked off the show with the Cinema One anniversary theme song, Parang Sine/Laging Kasama.

The act was followed by production numbers that latched into various genres. A romance-themed number was delivered by Rachel Gerodias, Hajji Alejandro, Verni Varga, Christian Bautista, Princess Velasco, Sam Concepcion and Morisette Amon, while an indie-themed number was topbilled by Yeng Constantino and Raimund Marasigan — all backed by the music of the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra.

The artists came together to present their own renditions of some of the best songs from Philippine cinema, bringing together the arts of song and screen.

Pokwang also took the stage that night to deliver a stand-up act, mentioning and sampling some of her favorite funny moments from movies that she had starred in.

Also given special tribute were Fernando Poe Jr. and Dolphy. Their awards were accepted by Bryan Poe Llamanzares and Epi and Vandolph Quizon. Also given the Numero Uno Cinema One Icons were two of the most important female personalities in the industry, Nora Aunor and Vilma Santos.

Cinema One is seen and carried in almost 100 percent of total cable operators nationwide and throughout the world through satellite on Cinema One Global, and continues to innovate programming with local productions and Cinema One Originals. It has the biggest film libraries in its inventory, which have been constantly and rapidly expanding over the years.

The concert will be aired via pay-per-view on Cinema One on Aug. 15. For updates, log on to www.facebook.com/Cinema1Channel.
