Casino Filipino's tribute to OPM

MANILA, Philippines - Casino Filipino presents the PAGCOR 5 in a three-week nationwide concert tour starting today until Oct. 28.

The group, composed of OPM@PAGCOR grand winner Joyce Tañaña, second placer Charles Kevin Tan, third placer Renz Ruther Robosa and grand finalists Hadasa Camporaso and Steve Fernandez, will pay tribute to Original Pilipino Music when they perform at the different Casino Filipino branches.

The tour starts at the Casino Filipino Heritage branch today, to be followed by performances in Casino Filipino Hyatt Manila on Oct. 7; Casino Filipino Tagaytay, Oct. 9; Casino Filipino Pavilion, Oct. 14; Airport Casino Filipino, Oct. 21; Casino Filipino Angeles, Oct. 25; Casino Filipino Cebu, Oct. 27; and Casino Filipino Davao, Oct. 28.

This is the first time that the PAGCOR 5 will perform together after several successful solo shows in various Casino Filipino branches.

“This is going to be really exciting and challenging because unlike a solo performance, singing with a group requires a different skill. Your voice should blend with the other members of the group. Team work is very important in coming up with a great show,” said Joyce Tañaña.

Hadasa Camporaso from Bacolod said apart from the fun that comes with performing as a group, they get to learn from each other as well. “Performing with them is also a learning experience because we get insights from each other,” she said.

“It will be a different kind of fun. Ang saya nilang kasama. I am so happy to perform with them in this concert tour,” Steve Fernandez, one of the finalists from Davao said.

PAGCOR AVP for Entertainment Bong Quintana said the OPM@PAGCOR nationwide talent search did not only provide opportunities for young vocalists but also managed to change the general public’s perception of casino.
