Pinoy, foreign artists line up Valentine shows


Kanta nang kanta ang Pinoy favorite na si Rex Smith ng kanyang hit love songs para sa kanyang Valentine's shows sa Midas at Taguig.
 
Huwag daw sana silang ituring na kompetisyon sa local shows.

“I don't think there is anywhere, place in the world where Valentine is more regarded than in the Philippines. I don’t think there is competition as much as there's not enough love and music and people like me to come here to satisfy everybody,” sabi ni Smith.
   
Nauna nang iginiit nina Kuh Ledesma at iba pang haligi ng industriya na dapat umiral ang Filipino-first policy.

“Magkaroon lang ng control, para mabigyan ng pagkakataon ang local singers natin so that they are encouraged to continue in the business,” sabi ni Kuh.

Ayon naman kay Lea Salonga na katambal ni James Ingram sa kanilang concert, nasa manonood na ang pagpapasya kung anong panonoorin nila.

“If you're a discerning concert-goer you will know where you're going to spend your money. Foreigner ba o Pinoy, whatever, wala akong pakialam kasi ang sa akin lang, kung ang isang artist ay magaling, doon ako pupunta,” sabi ni Lea.

Mahigit 20 shows ang tatakbo ngayong Valentine season kabilang na ang mga Pinoy productions ng mga foreign shows tulad ng “Leading Ladies” at “You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

“Theater is more fun in the Philippines,” sabi ni Leo Valdez.

Patunay lang daw ito na international entertainment capital na talaga ang Maynila. Mario Dumaual, Patrol ng Pilipino

Double Crossing Concert Goers

Sharon/Martin Concert Feb 11

It is very disappointing that many have shelled out their hard earned money to pay full ticket price when a group buying site offers tickets for the same concert at HALF THE PRICE.

this is pretty unscrupulous scam and sets a precedent for buyers of future local shows to put off buying full priced tickets.
