We Filipinos love to celebrate different occasions and this coming holiday season we're celebrating an event that warms the heart, fills the soul, as we looks forward to a better 2014 for The Philippines.

This holiday season, one of the headliner, Patti Austin will perform here in Manila and will be joined by some of the Philippines’ most popular performers and a fantastic live band in a concert celebrating the New Year, commemorating the indomitable Filipino spirit, and contributing to a better future.

Part of the proceeds will be donated to the victims Typhoon Haiyan for relief efforts.   Patti Austin will personally lead a continuing effort to design and build houses in Tacloban through Habitat For Humanity.

The overall tone of the event will be joyous and upbeat, signifying a “Brand New Day” in the Philippines as the country and the world join together in gestures of celebration, goodwill and support.  Patti will perform the hit songs which have made her a huge star in the Philippines and worldwide.

Throughout the evening, pre-recorded messages from international singers and actors of greetings and hope will flow onto the Solaire ballroom’s large screens.

Also, OPM Icons have pledged their support for the said concert which includes Richard Merk, Martin Nievera and Lea Salonga as her special guests during the night at the Solaire.


The promoters and producers are working to arrange for live telecast of portions of the event in the Philippines and countries in adjacent time zones.  Viewers will have the opportunity to join the party via social media, and to contribute to this all-important cause.

Another fund-raising performance will take place at the Fairmont Raffles Hotel (in Makati) on December 31, 2013 as Patti Austin celebrates New Year.
