Double celebration for MOR this month

MANILA, Philippines - The MOR Pinoy Music Awards (MORPMA) will be staged on July 11 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The annual awards night that honors the greatness of OPM musicians and performers will be made more memorable with the celebration of the first anniversary of MOR 101.9 For Life, which will be filled with surprises and special guests.

The free show will gather some of the biggest names in the Philippine music industry and recognize the winners in different categories including Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year.

The awardees will be based on the total votes from texters, MORPMA Awards Committee and a special group of judges composed of Lani Misalucha, Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) VP for special events Christian Bautista and Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) president Noel Cabangon.

Meanwhile, MOR (My Only Radio) 101.9 For Life and its primetime radio DJ ChacCa Babes join other Kapamilya TV programs and personalities in the star-studded list of nominees in this year’s Yahoo! Celebrity Awards.

MOR 101.9 For Life! is nominated for FM Radio Station of the Year, while DJ ChaCha is nominated for Female DJ of the Year.

 The annual Yahoo! Celebrity Awards is a fan-voting based award-giving body that recognizes the brightest stars in the field of radio, TV, movie, music, sports and social media.

Fans can cast their votes via Yahoo.com.ph/celebrityawards until July 12 at 12 noon.

It was July last year when ABS-CBN’s official FM station in Metro and Mega Manila was relaunched as MOR (My Only Radio), with Daniel Padilla, Toni Gonzaga and Vice Ganda as the new “faces of MOR.”

Alongside the relaunch of MOR is the growing popularity of DJ ChaCha. Aside from her top-rating “naughty and nice” radio show Heartbeats with DJ ChaCha Babes, her book Napakasakit Ate ChaCha also made it to the best-sellers’ list of bookstores nationwide.
