Support for Sen. Bam Aquino’s call for vigilance during the bicameral conference committee deliberations on the P1.38-trillion education fund in the 2026 national budget has snowballed, drawing backing from various musicians, comedians, and artists.
Among them were actor Edu Manzano, stand-up comedian Alex Calleja, rapper Pio Balbuena, hip-hop band Morobeats, , artist Andrea Guevarra, and Drag Race Philippines winner Brigiding.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Edu said heightened vigilance is necessary to protect the budget from corruption and questionable projects.
“LIVESTREAM ANG BICAM. Ilang tulog na lang bago Pasko, ang Christmas wish ko: huwag bawasan yung education budget ni Senator Bam! #EdukasyonHindiKorapsyon,” he posted.
“Monitor natin ‘to. Kung may dapat tutukan sa pondo ng bayan, bantayan ang budget para sa edukasyon ni Senator Bam! Huwag hayaan mabawasan sa darating na bicam,” Alex commented, sharing a post from Senator Bam’s Facebook page highlighting his call for vigilance.
“Tinupad ni Sen. Bam yung Diskarte at diploma! 1.3 TRILLION BUDGET SA EDUKASYON, 65 BILLION PARA SA MGA CLASSROOM. babantayan na lang natin yan para di magka istapahan, pampaaral ng tambay,” Pio said on Facebook.
Andrea called on her family, friends, and followers to monitor the bicam’s livestream, saying it is an opportunity for them to ensure the education budget remains intact.
“Ngayong December 11, papasok na sa final stage ang budget for education sa BICAM at first time itong ililivestream in our history. Sa public schools, kulang ang classrooms, kulang ang kagamitan, kulang ang suporta. Kasama rin dito ang budget para sa Libreng Kolehiyo.. Libreng tuition at miscellaneous fees ng 5.7M students, at dagdag allowance para sa 1.5M students,” she said.
“Para sa millions of students who rely on the public education system, every peso truly matters. At ang BICAM ang last window para makita kung mababawasan o hindi ang budget na para sa kanila. Let’s show up. Watch. Bantayan natin ang budget sa edukasyon. Para sa kabataan. Para sa kinabukasan. Edukasyon, hindi korapsyon,” she added.
Morobeats, for its part, underscored the need to protect the education budget to maintain the P65 billion fund for classroom construction.
“May mahigit na 65 billion na budget para sa edukasyon! Huwag hayaan na mabawasan at bantayan natin yung para sa mga anak natin!” it said.
“Malapit na mag 2026. National Budget!!! Please wag magic-in ang pondo ng bayan, protektahan ang budget para sa edukasyon, bantayan natin kasama ni @bamaquino,” Bridiging posted on her X account.
The bicameral conference committee, or simply bicam, is a small group of senators and representatives tasked with reconciling differences between the Senate and House versions of a bill.
While its intention is noble, the word bicam has become synonymous with hidden agendas and illegal or questionable insertions, especially when the anomalous flood control projects were exposed.
The Senate will livestream the bicam for the proposed 2026 national budget, giving citizens, media, and civil society organizations a unique opportunity to monitor the proceedings and see firsthand how their hard-earned money is allocated and utilized.

Pasko’y Muling Darating: The OPM Christmas Anthem for Everyone Who’s Struggling This Season
As the streets are lit up with twinkling lights and the smell of puto bumbong fills the air, the pop rock band InnerVoices reminds fans that Christmas is not only a time of joy, but also a time of healing. On December 5, 2025, UMG Philippines released their latest holiday single, “Pasko’y Muling Darating.” It perfectly captures the bittersweet spirit of the season in a way that only these Manila mainstays can.
InnerVoices started out in 1991 as a group of four college friends from Letran College. Since then, they have changed members, taken breaks, and come back stronger after the pandemic. They are now a six-piece powerhouse known for mixing heartfelt OPM stories with the punchy energy of ’80s and ’90s pop-rock. Atty. Rey Bergado, the band’s founding keyboardist and songwriter, is still the band’s rock. He is joined by vocalist Patrick Marcelino, guitarist Rene Tecson, bassist Alvin Herbon, drummer Jojo Esparrago, and keyboardist Joseph Cruz. For more than 30 years, they’ve been a part of the live music scene in Metro Manila, filling places like Hard Rock Café Makati, Bar IX in Alabang, and Aromata in Quezon City with sets that mix their own songs with covers of old favorites.
Rey Bergado wrote and composed “Pasko’y Muling Darating,” it’s a thoughtful ballad that paints pictures of cold, lonely nights and the weight of unspoken grief—those times when holiday cheer seems far away because of personal problems. But, true to InnerVoices’ style of being positive, the song builds to a bright chorus: Pasko’y muling darating, may pag-asang dala sa atin, sa bawat puso’y may ningning, pag-ibig ang hihilom sa dilim. “Christmas is a time of healing for many of us,” Bergado said at a recent press conference.
“Pasko’y Muling Darating,” napansin naming mejo kakaiba ang Christmas spirit, parang the focus of the people ay yung mga problema ng bayan, politika, galit, pangamba, so parang natatabunan yung Christmas spirit, we made this song “Paskoy Muling Darating” to say na there’s hope amidst these chaos and difficulties and confusion.
‘Pasko’y Muling Darating’ is a reminder that hope always comes back, even on the darkest nights.” We all go through sad times, but we should still celebrate Christmas.
For InnerVoices, music has always been more than just notes; it’s a way to stay alive. Bergado, who writes songs on the side of his legal career, says that the band’s brotherhood has helped them get through tough times in life. He once said, “We’re not just a band anymore.” “We’re friends.” We are the godparents of each other’s kids. Even if we don’t play, we still see each other. That family connection is in every chord, which makes songs like “Pasko’y Muling Darating” feel like a hug from an old friend.
Stream “Pasko’y Muling Darating” now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms. Catch InnerVoices live this holiday season at their regular haunts—Hard Rock Café spots, Bar IX, or upcoming gigs announced on their socials. In a world that often feels heavy, their music whispers: The season of light is here, and it’s for everyone.

A New Chapter of the “IVE Syndrome” Begins with ‘SHOW WHAT I AM’
‘SHOW WHAT I AM’ Marks a Defining Moment—IVE Reaches New Artistic Heights and Redefines “IVE-ness” on Stage
The “ultimate icons of MZ Wannabe Icons,” IVE (ANYUJIN, GAEUL, REI, JANGWONYOUNG, LIZ, and LEESEO), have officially launched their highly anticipated second world tour, “SHOW WHAT I AM.”
The tour kicked off with a spectacular three-day opening at Seoul’s KSPO DOME (formerly the Olympic Gymnastics Arena) from October 31 to November 2, serving as a defining prologue to the next phase of the “IVE Syndrome.” Capturing the group’s essence in its purest form, the shows marked a powerful return following the massive success of their first world tour, “SHOW WHAT I HAVE,” which connected them with over 420,000 fans across 19 countries. This time, IVE showcased remarkable artistic growth, refined teamwork, and an expanded musical spectrum.
As the lights dimmed and the cheers of DIVE (IVE’s official fan club) filled the packed venue, a cinematic VCR introduced each member’s unique charm, accompanied by a dreamy soundtrack that built anticipation throughout the dome. When the video concluded, beams of light illuminated the stage, revealing six striking silhouettes to explosive applause—signaling the start of an unforgettable night.
Backed by a live band, IVE opened the show with “GOTCHA (Baddest Eros),” instantly setting the tone with driving drum beats, electric guitar riffs, and commanding choreography. From the very first note, their flawless live vocals and fierce stage presence embodied the concert’s title—SHOW WHAT I AM.
Without pause, they powered through “XOXZ,” “Baddie,” “Ice Queen,” and “Accendio,” elevating the energy with each performance. Dynamic beats, mesmerizing visuals, and the members’ synchronized charisma fused together, creating a concert experience brimming with intensity and immersion.
After the high-octane opening, the members paused to greet DIVE, sharing heartfelt messages of gratitude before transitioning seamlessly into “TKO,” “Holy Moly,” and “My Satisfaction.” With powerful vocals and impeccable synchronization, IVE will turn th every venue into a stage alive with both emotion and precision.
A major highlight of the night was the solo stage segment, where each member unveiled an unreleased solo track for the first time. These performances reflected their distinct artistry and personalities, highlighting the depth and diversity of IVE’s musical spectrum.
JANGWONYOUNG opened with “8,” exuding confidence and elegance through a sleek, modern sound. REI followed with “In Your Heart,” a bright, effervescent performance radiating pure joy. LIZ then showcased her powerhouse vocals in “Unreal,” a refreshing band-style track that emphasized her expressive tone.
GAEUL shifted the mood with “Odd,” a dreamy, introspective number filled with emotional warmth. LEESEO impressed with “Super Icy,” blending vocals and rap to highlight her versatility, while ANYUJIN brought the solo stages to a powerful close with “Force,” a high-energy pop performance overflowing with charisma and commanding stage presence.
Each solo stage revealed the members’ individual growth while reinforcing IVE’s collective identity as a group defined by self-expression and creative confidence.
Reuniting on stage, IVE transitioned into a more emotional mid-set featuring “♥beats,” “WOW,” “Off The Record,” and “FLU.” Their rich harmonies and warm vocals filled the dome with an intimate yet expansive atmosphere, enveloping the audience in a wave of serenity and connection.
As the concert neared its climax, the group reignited the arena with a powerful sequence of hits—“ATTITUDE”, “REBEL HEART” “I AM,” “LOVE DIVE,” and “After LIKE.” The synergy between the stage and the audience reached its peak, culminating in an explosive finale that celebrated IVE’s evolution and the unbreakable bond with their fans.
Meticulously curated in setlist, staging, and storytelling, “SHOW WHAT I AM” represented a fully realized version of IVE’s artistry—complete with confident live vocals, seamless choreography, and authentic emotional expression. Through this performance, IVE showcased the “IVE-style concert formula” at its most refined—one that seamlessly fuses power, artistry, and narrative into a singular immersive experience.
Starting with the Seoul concerts, IVE’s second world tour will soon connect them with fans worldwide, opening a new chapter in their artistic journey. Moving beyond the first three years of the “IVE Syndrome,” the MZ Icon now enters an era defined by maturity, individuality, and vision. With “SHOW WHAT I AM,” IVE once again prove that they are more than global icons of their generation—they are evolving artists shaping the future of K-pop with every performance.
Catch IVE as they perform LIVE at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on April 25, 2026 (Saturday).

● Cup of Joe leads Wrapped 2025, sweeping Top Local Song, Top Local Artist, and Top Local Group in the Philippines.
● More local acts shaped this year’s listening, with tracks by homegrown artists including Earl Agustin’s “Tibok” and Dionela’s “Marilag” landing among the Wrapped Top Songs list.
MANILA, 4 December 2025. Spotify has officially launched its highly anticipated 2025 Wrapped campaign — delivering a bigger and bolder experience that is more captivating, more layered, and more revealing than ever before. Beginning today, eligible users in the Philippines can access their personalized Wrapped experience in the Spotify app.
2025 Wrapped reveals how Filipinos gravitated toward music that is honest, emotional, and grounded in everyday experiences.
Baguio-hailed band Cup of Joe‘s “Multo“ claimed the Top Local Song in the Philippines, and the group earned the titles of Top Local Artist and Top Local Group. Their blend of melodic arrangements, relatable lyricism, and heartfelt delivery made their music a familiar presence across many listening moments this year.
Reflecting on the milestone, Cup of Joe shared: “It’s incredibly overwhelming to see our songs become part of people’s playlists and their big moments this year — it reminds us that we’ve somehow become part of their story. Knowing that someone found comfort or connection in our music is one of the best feelings. We’re excited to grow, experiment, and share more pieces of ourselves with our listeners.”
They share the spotlight with fellow Filipino acts whose diverse sounds defined this year’s Top Local Songs. Earl Agustin’s “Tibok“ landed at #2 with its melodic groove, followed by Dionela’s “Marilag“ (#3), a soulful standout. Amiel Sol’s “Sa Bawat Sandali“ took #4 spot with its reflective tone, while HELLMERRY’s “My Day“ completed the list at #5 with its hip-hop edge.
Podcasts also remained a strong part of Filipinos’ listening this year, with many seeking out stories that feel relatable and familiar. Filipinos turned to intimate storytelling, laugh-out-loud conversations, and even spine-tingling narratives.
Barangay Love Stories (#1) once again landed as the Top Podcast in the Philippines. It was followed by Papa Dudut Stories (#2) and Will Talks(#3), both known for their conversation-led, advice-driven formats. Sitio Bangungot (#5) took the final spot, bringing their narrative-driven horror to this year’s list.
Reflecting on this milestone, Barangay Love Stories shared, “Having such a strong community behind Barangay Love Stories means everything to us. Our listeners aren’t just tuning in — they’re part of every story we tell. This milestone inspires us to continue sharing heartfelt tales that reflect the love, life, and experiences of Filipinos.”
Following the strong performance of long-time favorites, this year also saw notable new shows. Chicks 2 Go was the Top New Podcast (Group), reflecting the growing presence of dynamic, personality-driven formats that blend humor, personality, and everyday storytelling. Meanwhile, DAGOK TIME!, part of Spotify’s inaugural RADAR creator program, made its Wrapped debut as the Top New Podcast (Solo), marking a milestone year for emerging voices within the creator space.
Sophie Prime of DAGOK TIME! shared, “Being part of Spotify’s first RADAR Creators already meant a lot to me, so seeing my show now make it to the Wrapped charts is incredibly humbling. It’s a reminder that passion and authenticity can take you far, and it motivates me to keep showing up for the people who choose to listen.”
2025 Wrapped brings new ways to experience your year in listening, together.
This year’s experience brings together the classics fans know and love, plus new ways to connect and dig deeper into the stories and moments that made the year uniquely theirs. Users can also experience Wrapped at their own pace — with controls that let them adjust the speed, revisit moments, and navigate their highlights more freely.
Wrapped refreshes fan favorites such as Top Genres, which highlights the genres that shaped your year, while Top Song Quiz lets you guess which track truly defined your 2025. Top Artist Sprint visualizes how your top five artists shifted in your personal rankings month by month.
Debuting this year are new features such as Listening Age, which compares your musical taste to others in your age group; Top Albums, spotlighting the bodies of work you returned to the most; and Wrapped Clubs, which sorts listeners into one of six listening identities and reveals the role they play within each community. Another exciting addition is Wrapped Party – a new interactive feature that turns your listening data into a live competition you can play with friends. It’s the latest way to level up Wrapped, making it more exciting and fun than ever.
Spotify is also bringing the celebration directly to fans with unique pop-up destinations dedicated to the artists who defined 2025. In the Philippines, an installation inspired by Cup of Joe’s “Multo” takes over NEO Park at Seven/NEO in Bonifacio Global City from December 4 to 7 — an immersive interpretation of the track’s haunting ‘what ifs.’ The space is open to all Spotify users.

December 1, 2025 – This holiday season, the OPM (Original Pilipino Music) Balladeer Ariel Rivera and Philippine Queen of Soul Jaya are bringing the magic of OPM on CenterPlay for a one-night-only concerts on December 3 and 17, respectively, at 9 pm.
Accomplished actor and singer-songwriter Ariel Rivera kicks off the celebration of timeless OPM hits on December 3, bringing his notable smooth vocals in his R&B and melodic pop music repertoire, which includes chart-topping hits including his first single “Sana Kahit Minsan”, “Simple Lang”, “Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin”, and “A Smile In Your Heart”. Ariel Rivera rose to fame in the 1990’s and was known as “Kilabot ng Kolehiyala”. Many will remember that the OPM Balladeer and talented heartthrob’s first album was self-titled and released in 1991and was quickly followed by a second album titled “Simple Lang” a year after. Both albums achieved triple platinum status. His notable musical and acting career earned him awards including Awit Awards’ Best New Male Artist in 1991, Best Performance by a New Male Recording Artist in1992, and Best Supporting Actor at the 1992 Metro Manila Film Festival, to name a few.
On December 17, Queen of Soul Jaya is set to take the audience to a night of nostalgic musical journey through her soulful voice and electrifying presence. She made a mark in the industry for being the first Filipino music artist to have a song included in the Billboard Hot 100. The veteran music icon, who carved a successful career both locally and internationally, has been known for powerful hits including “Wala Na Bang Pagibig”, “Laging Naroon Ka”, and “Dahil Tanging Ikaw”. To date, she has released 12 studio albums.
Ariel Rivera and Jaya at CenterPlay follow the successful concert of Janno Gibbs in November. They join the roster of featured OPM stars at CenterPlay including Neocolours, Moira, Juan Karlos, Rey Valera, Noel Cabangon, Raymond Lauchengco, Ariel Rivera, Ice Seguerra, “Soul Siren” Nina, Jinky Vidal, Jed Madela, Yeng Constantino, Daryl Ong, Imago, and The CompanY. The King of Soul’s anticipated concert also highlights performances from bands Highschool Playlist and Le Chic as well as from a DJ who are set to perform alternately from 7 pm to 2 am.

Designed for the ultimate entertainment experience, CenterPlay is a cool snack and cocktail lounge offering light meals, signature cocktail concoctions, beers, wines, and other beverages, and is built around the circular stage at the center of the main gaming floor.
After placing in the Top 10 of the Universal Pictures Awiting Wicked contest, Sophia Mercado of KAIA and Chill Paloma of FINA walked away with something even more meaningful than a win. Even though they did not secure the chance to be officially featured by the franchise, both artists felt their connection to the song was unfinished. That shared spark led them to create a PAP Live performance of “For Good”, filmed at the soon to open new studio by PROD AXIA called STUDIO AXIA.
A Collaboration Born from Love for Wicked
The idea came naturally. Sophia shared, “A mutual friend suggested it because she knows we both love Wicked. We hopped onto the idea right away because we are really fans of the movie and the artists in it.” Chill echoed the sentiment, saying, “The vibe with Sophia just made sense. It felt really exciting to bring this song to life together.”
When they learned they would be performing the full duet, Sophia said, “We were very excited because even the short snippet we did before was already so much fun. We always wanted to make a full cover.” Chill added, “To perform one of the greatest songs ever with a friend is something you do not want to miss.”
Stepping Into Glinda and Elphaba
For Sophia, tapping into Glinda meant accessing a softer part of herself. “Channeling her vulnerable side felt very personal,” she said. “I was not just telling her story, but also tapping into one of my dream roles.”
Chill approached Elphaba with her own emotional compass. “There is something unforgettable about breathing life into a character who is misunderstood yet strong. It reminded me of why I love theater.”
A Blend of Voices and Friendship
Despite their different vocal styles, their harmonies came together almost instantly. Sophia explained, “It was surprising how naturally our voices matched. With just a bit of rehearsal we clicked. Listening to each other helped us become better singers for each other.” Chill shared, “Working with Sophia made everything easy. We understood each other musically and personally.”
Both artists are deeply connected to the message of “For Good”. Sophia said, “This song always makes me emotional. Every person we meet leaves something in us, even when we do not realize it.” Chill shared, “It is about closure, growth, and valuing the connections that shape us.”
A Comfortable Creative Space
The day of the shoot felt natural for both artists. Sophia shared, “Being in a space where everything was prepared made it easier to focus on my performance. I was grateful to be surrounded by a team that supported what I needed.”
Chill added, “The shoot felt warm, familiar, and very collaborative. It was like hanging out with friends while creating something meaningful.”
Their favorite moments extended beyond the set itself. “Our dressing room conversations were so memorable,” Sophia said. “It felt like bonding as much as working.” Chill echoed, “It really felt like home. That energy made the performance even more heartfelt.”
A Collaboration Filled With Heart
Their PAP Live performance is more than a cover. It is a celebration of Wicked, friendship, and artistic growth. It is a reflection of what happens when artists show trust, vulnerability, and love for the craft.
Sophia described the collaboration as “Wholesome.” Chill called it “Unforgettable.” Their hope is simple. “We want people to feel touched,” Sophia said. “We hope they feel the importance of friendship.” Chill added, “We want them to feel all the emotion we poured into the song.”
With sincerity, talent, and genuine connection at the center, their rendition of “For Good” stands as a heartfelt tribute to the relationships that change us.
Novocrane is gaining traction in the alternative and indie music world, highlighted in this year’s Jack Daniel’s On Stage campaign—a nine-month program featuring rising artists in Metro Manila. They’re just getting started; the band just released their latest single “Moshpit.” This track serves as an anthem for those seeking deeper connections amid life’s frustrations, longing, numbness, and dissatisfaction, offering the release of shared energy in a crowd where everyone wants the same thing.
“Moshpit” captures the desire to dance, experience live music, and connect with strangers over shared excitement, creating a judgment-free space where joy prevails, problems fade, and adrenaline surges. The song celebrates the live music environment, where the music feels immediate and liberating, delivering honest energy that resonates deeply. As Novocrane puts it, “We want to dance, we want to see live music, we want to be in a crowd of people we don’t know, and be excited about the same thing with them.”
The group has performed alongside major names like Dilaw and Kamikazee at Dilaw’s album launch, and joined Blaster and SOS at a key stop of the SOS It Was a Moment album tour, positioning them among the Philippines’ most in-demand acts. Novocrane has also established itself at live events, appearing at Fête de la Musique and participating in Gregory Pack’s Summit Sessions campaign, demonstrating their growing presence in the live music landscape. Besides live performances and guestings, media attention has boosted their profile with features in outlets such as THE FLYING LUGAW, CLAVEL, Coast2Coast, BILLBOARD PH, and MYX, helping them reach both alternative fans and broader audiences.

Verse 1: This is nothing personal yeah I can’t feel my legs at all Wasting time learning all about logic Same old bands in the radio My favorite song It’s been way too long Since I’ve heard it I remember drowning in love Staying up late Now it’s “fuck outta my face”
Chorus: Let the bodies hit the floor I’m way too Oversensitive about All that I’ve done I’m not really here, don’t mind me I just wanna live in a moshpit Think I overthink too much, I thought so Should I tell them where I’ve been? Too late I’m drunk I don’t really care, what’s the problem? I just wanna live in a moshpit
Verse 2: Happy to be catching up Back it up yea Every club now needs a metronome I don’t know why But you got me acting like I’m on drugs I don’t even know shit I’m only 23
Fake love, small talks, Get out of my sight Cheap wines, missed flights, Keep running out of time I got nothing to hide So just “fuck outta my face”
Chorus 2: Let the bodies hit the floor I’m way too Oversensitive about All that I’ve done I’m not really here, don’t mind me I just wanna live in a moshpit Think i overthink too much, I thought so Should I tell them where I’ve been? Too late I’m drunk I don’t really care, what’s the problem?
Post Chorus I just wanna live in a moshpit I just wanna live in a moshpit I just wanna live in a moshpit (I just wanna live) I just wanna live in a moshpit (I just wanna live) I just wanna live in a moshpit
