OPM pop icons Geneva Cruz, Gino Padilla, Roselle Nava, Raymond Lauchengco and Randy Santiago are all excited to sing for the gallant men and women who protect the Philippine skies at “AXEL PAF,” the 76th anniversary concert of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) on June 23, 8:30 p.m. at The Theatre at Solaire.
For Raymond, the upcoming show is more than a trip down memory lane. “In this concert, we get to revisit our musical roots by performing a lot of the songs that defined our generation, and sing our hit songs that have become part of the soundtrack of people’s lives.”
Gino believes in the power of music to motivate and uplift, most especially the spirits of the hardworking air force personnel. He explains, “Music is an integral part of military life, whether during training or while marching… So, on June 23, my fellow singers and I are going to cater to PA’s tender hearts and bring them back to the good ol’ days through songs.”
The singers have prepared a heartfelt repertoire that includes their best loved hits such as Randy’s “Hindi Magbabago,” Raymond’s *I Need You Back,” Geneva’s “Kailan.” Roselle’s “Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita,” Gino’s “Closer You and I” and more.
The anniversary concert is doubly special for Geneva who is an air force reservist. “I will be singing and dancing in front of my co-reservists and Air Force officers without my uniform for the first time,” she explains. “Nagpapasalamat ako sa suporta, at sa pagkakataong makapagserbisyo kasama ang PAF.”
Roselle and Randy speak on behalf of their fellow singers when they declare their admiration for the PAF. “We want the PAF to know that their dedication and efforts aren’t left unnoticed,” Roselle emphasizes.
“For defending our country’s sovereignty, we thank the PAF” says Randy. “They are truly the ‘Guardians of the Precious Skies, Bearers of Hope.’”
Tickets to “AXEL PAF” are available at the Solaire box-office and at ticketworld.com.ph.
