Aiming to not only rekindle the spirit of the bloodless and peaceful revolution but also to inspire and intensify the ongoing fight against corruption, the People Power 40 Kick-Off Concert on Feb. 21 at Quezon Memorial Circle will now carry the theme “Awit at Aksyon Kontra Korapsyon.”
According to the Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG) and Kaya Natin!, the concert seeks to remind Filipinos that the unity and courage that restored the country’s democracy in 1986 can today be channeled in the fight against corruption.
“People Power proved that the Filipino people, when united, can stand up to injustice and demand accountability. This concert is a way to honor that legacy while encouraging citizens, especially the youth, to continue the fight for transparency and good governance,” the organizers said.
Through this event, they aim to reinforce that fighting corruption is a shared responsibility for all Filipinos.
The concert will feature some of the country’s top performers, including Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, Rivermaya, Ice Seguerra, Ebe Dancel, Pio Balbuena, Morobeats, Elmo Magalona, Arkin Magalona, Chelsea Alley, and Over October.
Adding color to the celebration are stand-up comedians Alex Calleja and Red Ollero, Iza Calzado, Bea Binene, and DJ JhaiHo.
Pre-show begins at 4 p.m., with the main concert starting at 6 p.m.
