ICONS at the MALL OF ASIA ARENA CONCERT

 The world-class venue, Mall of Asia Arena finally holds its Grand Launch last June 16, 2012 in a music event called "ICONS at the MALL OF ASIA ARENA."
June 16 is truly historical not only because of the grand launch but also some of the biggest names in the Philippine Music Industry performed in one roof for a night.

Christian Bautista and The Company performed the legendary music of Mr. Jose Mari Chan. I really admire JMC because of his heart-melting songs.Rachel Alejandro, Dulce & Vernie Varga belted Louie Ocampo's songs. Freddie Aguilar performed his phenomenal song "ANAK" which is heard in 56 countries in 26 languages.Next in line's the most applauded & cheered numbers by Richard Poon, Juris Fernandez, Piolo Pascual & of course "The Voice", Jed Madela, who sang the songs of the singer-songwriter, Ogie Alcasid. This may sound bias but I think Jed Madela's performance last night's the best among the Icons.

Icons at The Mall of Asia Arena Grand Launch

I live in the Philippines, a country where everyone loves music. I love music as much as I love to eat. When I'm listening to music, my mind gets revived. There is freedom, of absolute lightness. It alleviates my mood naturally when I'm down. There's no feeling like it in the world.

Music is a universal language.

You don't always need a common language to express to someone what you feel. Isn't that the wonderful thing about it?

There is also a wonderful and historical event that is about to unfold on the night of the 16th of June and will be called "Icons at the Arena." It is also the formal launch of The Mall of Asia Arena, and with it a world-class performance that is set to break boundaries, featuring the Masters of OPM.

We don't frequently see shows like "Icons at the Arena." With all these big artists taking the stage together for the first time, I'm pretty sure it will be a wonderful night of great music.
