A gathering of big stars in the music industry organized by Senator Manny Villar's camp will match the Liberal Party's commemoration of the 24th anniversary of the first people power revolt on Thursday.
Noontime show host Willie Revillame and popular singer-actress Sarah Geronimo will be among the celebrities to join the "Rockatropa" concert, which will be held at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
The concert, which will start at 7: 00 p.m. is free for everyone, said a statement from Villar's office.
Other performers in the concert include Andrew E, Randy Santiago, "Kembot Girls" of Revillame's noontime show "Wowowee", and local bands like Parokya ni Edgar, Sandwich, Kamikazee, Bamboo and Juan de la Cruz Band.
The event will coincide with the LP's commemoration of the people power revolution set at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City where several personalities in the music industry are also expected to join.
Among those who have confirmed their attendance were Ogie Alcasid, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, and Sponge Cola.
LP's standard-bearer, Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. will lead the commemoration. He will be joined by his running mate, Senator Mar Roxas, and their full senatorial ticket.
Aquino is the son of the late president Corazon Aquino and martyred Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr

SOP, the long-running Sunday party show of GMA-7 undergoes a major revamp and gets a "reinforced" staff, plus a new title, starting the third Sunday of March.
Party Pilipinas is now going to be an "all-party and all-positive vibes" show, according to the Corporate Communications Department of GMA-7 and the show's new production manager, Ruth Mariñas.
Mariñas takes over the post of Ramel David, who in turn replaced Hazel Abonita.
Director Louie Ignacio will now have a co-director and creative manager, Paul Basinillo, a seasoned music video director who helmed some projects for Sarah Geronimo and other young singers.
Four musical directors will alternate every week, two of which will be Raul Mitra and Danny Tan.
Geleen Eugenio will hand over the choreography to her son Miggy, but she will become the chief adviser of the new choreographers coming from different school organizations, which will be given the chance to show off their dancing skills.
The four main hosts Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, and Jaya are retained, along with the R&B pair of Jay-R and Kyla, plus La Diva.
New co-hosts and semi-regulars will join them in launching all-new segments, such as a revolving special number every week from one group of Telebabad stars and a high-powered number from different schools' dancing groups.

"I think she is a great talent. I think she epitomizes all the good things Filipinos have in her—the resourcefulness, the ingenuity, the humility, and the hard work, the work ethics," says senatorial candidate Bongbong Marcos about Sarah Geronimo (inset). /Noel B. Orsal
Senatorial candidate Bongbong Marcos clarifies malicious report associating him with Sarah Geronimo
Rommel Gonzales
February 24, 2010 06:04 PM
Tuwing nalalapit na ang eleksiyon, madalas maidikit ang pangalan ng pulitiko sa artista. Minsan, totoo ang kuwento pero isa lamang itong istratehiya para mas maging popular ang kandidato. Kadalasan, sinasabing imbento ang isang isyu para lamang may mapag-usapan.
Pero sa usaping Bongbong Marcos-Sarah Geronimo sighting, labis na pagtataka ang rumehistro sa mukha ng Ilocos Sur congressman.
May isyu kasing lumabas na lagi raw nakikita ang sasakyan ng senatorial candidate sa bahay ng Pop Princess sa Quezon City.
Ang bungad niya, "Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling 'yang istoryang 'yan."
Aniya, maaaring misinterpretation ang pinag-ugatan ng kuwento. Sa pagpapatuloy ni Bongbong, "Dahil siguro nadaan lang ako doon sa kalsada, kung saan naroroon yung bahay niya at may nag-isip o nagsabi na agad na naroon ako."
Hindi raw niya kilala ang dalaga kaya walang katotohanan ang tsismis.
"The truth of the matter is I have not met that young lady. I have never been in the same room with her," aniya.
Bukod dito, isa nang pamilyadong tao ang bunsong anak ng dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, 52. Si Sarah, 21, ay hindi pa nagkaka-nobyo at wala sa imahe nito na ma-link sa halos triple ang edad sa kanya.
Nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang entertainment press si Rep. Marcos sa launch niya bilang endorser ng men's line ng Ever Bilena, ang Blackwater, kaninang tanghali, February 24, sa Max's Restaurant sa Sct. Tuazon, Quezon City.
Yaman din lamang na napag-usapan na rin si Sarah, tumuloy sa intriga ang kuwentuhan.
Gusto ba niyang makilala si Sarah?
"I would love to meet her," bulalas ng politician. "I understand that she is extremely talented. Many, many Filipinos admire her because of her talent. She is a great actress, a great comedienne. I know [that] because I watched her movie."
Dahil sa rumor, nagkaroon ng interest ang politician para alamin ang katauhan ng babaeng nauugnay sa kanya.
Ang mahabang kuwento ni Bongbong, "Noong lumabas nga 'yang istoryang 'yan, tinatanong ko, sabi ko, 'Sino kaya siya? Why are they putting our names together?' Sabi ko 'Who is this young lady?'
"And one time, I was with Imee [Marcos, his sister] actually and andun kami sa EDSA and may billboard. And sabi niya 'Yang billboard, 'yan yung Sarah Geronimo.'
So I said I wanna know more about her, why is she a big star, and I did.
"Once in a while, I see her on TV. Once in while, I see parts of her movie showing in some cable channels. And I think she is a great talent. I think she epitomizes all the good things Filipinos have in her— the resourcefulness, the ingenuity, the humility, and the hard work, the work ethics."
Ang interest ay nauwi sa admiration.
"Because you can see na tuluy-tuloy ang kanyang propesyon, maganda ang takbo ng kanyang career, ang kanyang mga palabas sa TV, her movies, her concerts, and I have become an admirer of her.
"And I would very much like to meet her and I think she is a lovely young lady and she is a great example to all Filipinos."
Ayon pa sa kongresista, kawawa naman daw si Sarah dahil walang katotohanan ang isyu tungkol sa kanila. Kaya nakiusap ito na huwag nang pahabain pa ang kuwento.
"Kawawa naman yung bata. I said I've become an admirer of her. But you know, huwag na nating isama ang bata sa anumang isyu dahil hindi naman totoo," saad niya.

Bongbong denies rumored affair with Sarah Geronimo
by Reyma Buan-Deveza, abs-cbnNEWS.com | 02/24/2010 7:07 PM
MANILA, Philippines - A visibly irked Ilocos Norte Rep. and senatorial candidate Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Wednesday vehemently denied his alleged relationship with Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo.
In an interview during the launching of his product endorsement, Ever Bilena’s "Blackwater" cologne, the congressmen stressed that he has never personally met the popular singer.
"Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang istorya na yan. Siguro nadaan lang ako doon sa kalsada kung saan nandoon ang bahay niya at sinabi na agad na nandoon ako. Pero the truth of the matter is I have not met that young lady. I have never been in the same room with her," Marcos said.
Marcos admitted that he is impressed by Geronimo’s singing and acting skills, adding that he would love to meet her someday.
"I understand that she's extremely talented. Many Filipinos are great supporters of her because not only of her talent, but she's also a great actress and a great comedienne and I know because I watched the movie.
“Noong lumalabas na ang istorya na ‘yan, tinatanong ko kung sino kaya siya, why they are putting our names together? Sabi ko, ‘Who is this young lady?’
"One time, I was with Imee. Actually nandoon kami sa EDSA. Sabi niya 'yang billboard na yan, yan si Sarah Geronimo. So I said, ‘Let me learn more about her, why she is such a big star.’ And I did and I see her on TV. Once in a while, I see part of her movie showing sa some of the cable channels."
Marcos, 52, called on the public to stop the rumors romantically linking him to the 21-year-old actress-singer.
"Alam niyo kawawa naman 'yong bata. Let's not make stories na hindi naman [totoo]. You know, as I've said, I'd become an admirer of her pero huwag na nating [palakihin]," he added. -Reyma Buan-Deveza, abs-cbnNEWS.com

[size="4"]Villar: Concert in MOA not meant to match LP's rally[/size]
02/26/2010 | 12:01 AM
More Share7 A rock concert at the concert grounds of a Pasay City mall featured presidential aspirant Sen. Manny Villar Jr. (Nacionalista Party), but only as an audience.
Villar denied that the “Rockatropa" concert held at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds was meant to compete with the rally of Liberal Party in Quezon City to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the historic EDSA People Power in 1986.
“Hindi naman . . . walang kinalaman sa EDSA ito. Matagal nang na-postpone ito, tinuloy lang namin (This has nothing to do with EDSA. This was something that got postponed before)," Villar told reporters in an interview.
The concert was initially scheduled October 26 last year but was canceled due to typhoon Ondoy, which devastated Metro Manila and killed hundreds of people
Unlike his rival Sen. Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III, who took the stage in the Quezon City rally, Villar remained with the audience during the whole show.
“Alam mo pag-concert parang ayaw naman nila na parang pulitika kaya OK lang ako na manood (Concert is not a venue for politics, so I rather be a part of the audience)," he said.
Present at the concert were NP senatorial candidates Adel Tamano, Gilbert Remulla, Sen. Pilar Juliana Cayetano, and Martin Querubin, who represented his detained father Col. Ariel Querubin.
Also in attendance were Villar’s children Camille, who organized the concert; Paulo, and Mark.
Organizers pegged the crowd at 120,000 to 130,000 while the police placed it at 70,000 to 80,000.
The concert was hosted by radio jocks Nicoleyala and Cris Tsuper; singer Randy Santiago; actor John Estrada; and TV host Valerie Concepcion.
Among those who performed were Willie Revillame, [size="3"][color="#FF0000"]Sarah Geronimo[/color][/size], Christine Reyes, Andrew E and Blakdyak.
Parokya ni Edgar, Sandwich, Kamikazee, Bamboo and the Juan de la Cruz Band also performed. - Amita Legaspi/KBK, GMANews.TV

[size="4"]Wowowee cast rocks Villar's Rockatropa gig[/size]
MANILA, Philippines - As it turned out, Sen. Manny Villar and the Nacionalista Party's “Wowowillie meets Rockatropa (Konsyerto para sa Bayan),” especially midway, was like a remote telecast of the daily ABS-CBN noontime show “Wowowee,” with most of its mainstays strutting in and camping out at the Mall of Asia (MOA) concert grounds in Pasay City Thursday night.
Aside from Pokwang, Mariel Rodriguez, and a motley group of other hosts, the heart of the show was there to up the tempo of the evening.
Willie Revillame was on top of the heap as he sang and danced, to the delight of his followers, from dusk until the early hours of Friday morning.
Kembot Girls gyrated and bumped each other’s hips to usher in their Wil’s conquest of them and of the night.
An outdoor “Bigatin” version made everyone all the more excited and interactive, all of them singing, swaying and stamping with Willie through his “Ikembot Mo,” “Taranan,” and other songs while he picked contestants from the huge crowd of around 100,000 people, if we were to believe rapper Andrew E..
Revillame had invited his audience to come and see his free show at MOA as early as mid-Thursday. “Pipintahan po natin ng orange ang show,” he said over "Wowowee."
Painting the show orange
Yes, the night was painted with orange and all its shades, with Revillame changing orange attires twice.
Bentong, “Wowowee's stout and stocky little comic was in tangerine, too, his act no different from his afternoon rah-rah boy role, throwing with his boss red and black “Wowowee” freebie shirts to the fans.
Singer Sarah Geronimo, although not a “Wowowee” regular but who guests on the show once in a while, was in a one-strapped orange top, which she consciously and briefly held so as not to show off her skin.
Director Edgar Mortiz, who was in striped, short-sleeved polo with red and yellow ribbon pinned on his shirt, was throwing his weight around, literally.
No, he wasn’t at the helm of this mammoth crowd. “Nanonood lang ako,” he quipped.
Was he consulted with the way the show would look? “No. Sila lang ang nakaisip n’yan.”
Poor kids from Baseco and San Juan
Impoverished kids from Baseco and San Juan squatters were dressed in orange tee and white pants holding orange-lit balls, parading and displaying a “We are the World”-like pastiche.
“Wowowee” co-host Valerie Concepcion was in black, but maybe her heart is ponkan.
Of course, without them saying a word, it was predominantly a Manny Villar color, in an almost Villar country, considering Pasay’s closeness to Las Piñas.
As we eavesdropped in Villar’s ambush interview, he said he was just there to watch the show, which was put together by his daughter, Camille.
And while Willie was singing his love songs, the presidential candidate breezed through quietly and just sat with the audience, smiling at the sights and sounds.
Earlier, it was free style among hosts Randy Santiago and John Estrada, and some guests like Andrew E. and Cristine Reyes, including the last part when radio sensations Christsuper and Nicole Eyala paved the way for a battle of bands among Sandwich, Parokya ni Edgar, Bamboo and Juan de la Cruz.
And they all smelled like oranges, too
