MUSIC LYF: Gloc9, Karylle, 1:43 top bill BellaVita free concerts

Socialized housing development BellaVita Land Corp. will hold a free concert series dubbed as “Ang Saya-Saya Sa BellaVita” featuring popular and emerging Original Pilipino Music (OPM) artists and radio jocks including Gloc-9, Karylle, and boy band 1:43 in Lipa City and San Pablo City this November.

The first concert to be led by award-winning Filipino rapper Gloc9 will be held at the Plaza Independencia in Lipa City on November 29 at 6 p.m., while the second concert with "It’s Showtime" (ABS-CBN) host Karylle will be held on November 30 at SM City San Pablo at 3 p.m.

Meanwhile, 1:43, the voices behind the 5th Star Awards for Music song of the year "Sa Isang Sulyap Mo" and hit songs “Ang Saya-Saya” and "Hayop Sa Ganda" will give sizzling performances in both shows. The band, composed of Anjo Ressurreccion, Gold Aquino, Argee Golding, and Yuki Sakamoto, was named as the Most Promising Group at the 45th Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Award.

Three of the most promising recording artists today namely Fifth Dynamics, JBK, and Neo Domingo will likewise entertain the audiences.

Fifth Dynamics lead by former The Voice of the Philippines contender Mark Cordovales is a fast-rising band. After winning the Dreams Get Real talent search of McJim Classic Leather, the group recorded the chart-topping single titled "Anyare."

Vocal trio JBK composed of Joshua Bulot, Bryan Del Rosario, and Kim Nicolas is making waves in the music scene. The group’s RnB infused ballad "Anong Meron Ka", which was handpicked by APO Hiking Society member Jim Paredes as the Critic’s Song of the Year in the Dreams Get Real competition, is now getting heavy airplays on major radio stations across the country.

A product of X-Factor Philippines and Dreams Get Real, Neo Domingo topped national and local charts with his debut single “Pagbigyan Mo Na.” It was even named as the Most Wanted Song of 97.1 Barangay LS FM.

Aside from promoting BellaVita’s new developments, the musical fair is the real estate development's early Christmas treat to the residents of San Pablo and Lipa City including their nearby towns.

“Christmas is just around the corner and these concerts are our early Christmas present to them. We are going to Lipa and San Pablo not only to promote our new BellaVita projects but also to put a smile on their faces this Yuletide season,” said Barry Trinidad, marketing manager for BellaVita Land Corporation.

“Our tagline and jingle ‘Ang Saya-Saya sa BellaVita’ is a glimpse to what they will experience with BellaVita. We will stick to our promise to give not only an affordable housing, but also a fun and fulfilling community,” Trinidad added.

The concert in Lipa City is in partnership with City Mayor Meynardo Sabili and Vice Mayor Eric Africa.

DZMM TeleRadyo and MOR Manila DJ Onse Tolentino, a native of Lipa City, will grace the Plaza Independecia concert while 90.7 Love Radio DJ Nicole Hyala will be the host the event in SM City San Pablo.

BellaVita is a social enterprise project that caters to modest-income families, allowing them to afford their own houses.

Staying true to its mission of giving every Filipino a home instead of renting or living with relatives, BellaVita introduced its projects in Porac, Pampanga; General Trias, Cavite; Alaminos and San Pablo City in Laguna; Pililla, Rizal; Lipa City, Batangas; Cabanatuan in Nueva Ecity; Tayabas, Quezon; and Capas, Tarlac as answer to the country’s big housing backlog. For as low as P2,500, one family can now reserve a home they can call their own.

“With BellaVita, every Filipino may now realize their dream of having a house and lot they can call their very own,” Trinidad said.
