    Puregold OPM Con 2025 receives prodigious praise as a history-making music event

    “Grabe ka, Ninang Puregold, binuhay mong puso ng bawat Pilipino. Pinagsama-sama mong lahat ng fandom at mga malulupit na guest stars!” Puregold OPM Con 2025 concertgoer, Mhadz Garcia, gushed in her Facebook post about the recently held star-studded music event.

    On July 5, the Philippine Arena, undeniably the world’s largest indoor entertainment venue, became the stage for one of the most spectacular nights in Filipino music history. With more than 30,000 fans in attendance, Puregold OPM Con 2025 marked a new era for original Filipino music, bringing together icons, rising stars, and all manner of fans.

    The event featured a powerhouse lineup of today’s hottest OPM acts—BINI, Flow G, G22, KAIA, SB19, Skusta Clee, and SunKissed Lola—but what truly made the night historic were the surprise collaborations that bridged generations: James Reid performed with BINI; Mayonnaise teamed up with KAIA; Yeng Constantino sang alongside G22; and the legendary Rico Blanco joined forces with SB19, giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience.

    “It’s not only about the artists and the kind of genre they’re in, but the music and our stories worth celebrating,” shared Jobelle Nervar. “Thank you, Ninang Puregold.”

    The audience was a glimpse of your daily supermarket crowd—an energized, diverse bunch of everyday Filipinos who earned their tickets through Puregold’s grocery promos, an accessibility that was celebrated, and rightfully so.

    As articulated by Pinoy Publiko in his blog, “What stood out most was the diversity of the crowd. It wasn’t a scene dominated by influencers or industry insiders; it was full of people who got in through supermarket purchases and raffle entries. And while Puregold may be better known for groceries than gigs, the event showed that a retail chain can, surprisingly, pull off a large-scale cultural moment.”

    Adding to this acclaim, Philippine Star’s Interaksyon declared, “That night proved that OPM is not just a moment, but a strong movement. And it, indeed, was pure gold.”

    In their review, they mentioned how the concert marked history “as it gathered not only the country’s top OPM artists, but also their beloved fans.”

    Ardent followers likewise expressed heartfelt thanks for an experience that was both generous and inclusive.

    “Ninang Puregold, salamat po sa pagdala ng OPM artists sa Philippine Arena,” wrote Maria C. Escobal. “They all deserved to be heard and to perform in the biggest arena—dahil atin ‘to. See you again at the next event. Salamat po, Ninang Puregold, sa pagiging generous ninyo. Free shuttle, free snacks, free ticket, and a surprise OPM legend!”

    Meanwhile, Ambakung Bibal praised the concert’s spirit of unity: “Love the idea of P-pop groups and veteran OPM artists in one big concert. Camaraderie, respect, and talent all in one! Thank you, Ninang Puregold!”

    Online pages dedicated to concert coverages also took notice. The Philippine Concerts Facebook page wrote, “Puregold brings Filipino music to new heights in OPM Con 2025 at the Philippine Arena. Thank you, Puregold, for uniting fans in an epic celebration.”

    From emotional ballads to high-energy dance tracks, the night celebrated the full spectrum of Filipino sound. And perhaps most importantly, it reminded everyone of OPM’s power to inspire, connect, and uplift.

    “Mumultuhin na naman tayo ng araw na ’to, bukas o makalawa,” quipped Michael Arcos. “Sana may natutunan kayo sa gabing ’to—na lahat naman ng OPM artists ay may common goal. ‘Yan ang OPM Rise.”

    From supermarket aisles to arena center stage, Puregold has become a cultural powerhouse, making OPM more accessible than ever.

    As Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club Inc. puts it, “If this is what Puregold can do for OPM right now, imagine what we can further do for Filipino music and entertainment in the years to come. The future of OPM is brighter, Filipino artists deserve the world stage, and we’re proud to support and be part of that journey.”

  • BINI, G22, and KAIA on One Stage, Only at Puregold OPM CON 2025

    BINI, G22, and KAIA on One Stage, Only at Puregold OPM CON 2025

    PPop fans rejoiced as the unthinkable finally happened—three of OPM’s biggest girl groups finally shared the stage

    To many OPM fans, getting three of PPop’s biggest girl groups to perform together on the same stage used to be an idea so ambitious that it seemed improbable. That is, until July 5 when Puregold’s OPM Con 2025 wielded the night’s most exciting magic trick—BINI, KAIA, and G22 sharing the Philippine Arena’s enormous stage for the most amazing display of unity and celebrity power that the PPop world has ever seen.

    BINI delivered a show-stopping performance, stringing along their greatest hits, including Karera and Pantropiko.
    Featuring some of the most influential artists across OPM genres, Puregold OPM Con 2025 was the biggest Pinoy music event of the year.
    Bringing together BINI, KAIA, and G22 showed the “panalo” spirit of unity and Pinay power.

    While every BLOOM, ZAIA, and BULLET may have showed up to watch their favorite groups’ solo performances, nothing could have prepared fans for the three unforgettable moments that would ultimately define the event. These three moments saw the unthinkable finally come true, turning every PPop stan’s dreams into reality.

    Charlotte of KAIA and Alfea of G22 came out for the first collab of the night, joining BINI during their performance of recent hit “Shagidi

    First, during BINI’s performance of their hit single “Shagidi,” Charlotte of KAIA and Alfea of G22 came out together with Stell of SB19 to partake in the synchronized dance. Fans of all three girl groups were instantly whipped into a frenzy as they witnessed the sheer force of all three groups teaming up on stage.

    KAIA, G22, and BINI Sheena joined rock legend Rico Blanco and boy wonders SB19 for their performance of “Dungka.”
    For many Filipino fans, getting to see three PPop powerhouses join forces was a surreal moment like no other.
    KAIA dominated the stage with their performances of hit singles like “Tanga” and “You Did It.”

    Concert viewers were further stunned when Pinoy rock legend Rico Blanco joined boy group SB19 in performing the latter’s hit single “Dungka.” During the number, KAIA, G22, and Sheena of BINI swooped onstage to link up with Blanco and SB19. Just imagine five Pinoy powerhouses joining forces to celebrate Pinoy music!

    G22, also known as PPop’s Female Alphas, took their moniker to heart by commanding the entire Philippine Arena to its feet.
    Every PPop stan at Puregold OPM Con 2025 showed up and stayed for the biggest Pinoy music event of the year.

    Finally, in sync with the event’s headliners, all three girl groups united once more for a dazzling performance of Puregold’s anthem “Nasa Atin ang Panalo,” a song that perfectly reflects the joy and triumph of seeing BINI, KAIA, and G22 collectively uplifting Pinoy music.

    While every BLOOM, ZAIA, and BULLET may have shown up to watch their favorite groups’ solo performances, nothing could have prepared fans for the unforgettable collaborations.

    Social media’s positive response to this grand finale validated Puregold OPM Con 2025’s theme of togetherness. For one night, BINI, KAIA, and G22’s fandoms momentarily set aside exclusivity and chose, instead, to uplift one another and celebrate the power of Pinoy music as a whole.

    The OPM Con is one of Puregold’s many endeavors in supporting the arts, just like their annual CinePanalo film festival, and their series available online.

    Perhaps it was the shared experience of concert goers securing their tickets through grocery shopping—or the matchless production value of the event, with each act getting a chance to shine through their individual stages.

    Puregold OPM Con 2025 proved that all it takes is three incredible girl groups, one legendary stage, and 30,000 people who believe in the shared power of true Filipino music.

    Maybe it was the sheer size of the crowd—30,000 ardent OPM fans screaming at the top of their lungs. Or maybe it was just ‘lightning in a bottle’, with the perfect storm of artists and ambiance. Whatever the reason, every PPop stan at Puregold OPM Con 2025 showed up and stayed for the biggest Pinoy music event of the year.

    For one final performance, every act, including BINI, KAIA, and G22, took the stage to sing Puregold’s winning anthem “Nasa

    In the end, Puregold OPM Con 2025 proved that magic needs neither sleight-of-hand tricks nor a complex formula. Sometimes all it takes is three incredible girl groups, one legendary stage, and 30,000 people who believe in the shared power of true Filipino music.

    United under one roof: How Puregold brought generations of OPM together in the Philippine Arena

    James Reid stepped out to join BINI for a smooth mashup of “Secrets” and his own R&B hit “Di Bale.

    Puregold’s OPM Con 2025 went from simply sensational to timeless as the multitudes that trooped to the Philippine Arena on July 5 were treated to surprise guests culled from OPM’s rich roster of exceptional talents. Already super-charged with the energy of today’s biggest artists—BINI, Flow G, G22, KAIA, SB19, Skusta Clee, and SunKissed Lola—OPM Con 2025 went on stealth mode and dropped a gaggle of other OPM biggies on thousands of unsuspecting fans in the vast arena.

    James Reid and BINI were referred to online as “a collab to die for.”
    BINI then performed their song “Shagidi” along with surprise appearances from SB19’s Stell, KAIA’s Charlotte, and G22’s Alfea.

    Still flush from the tremendous success that was OPM Con 2025, Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Senior Marketing Manager of Puregold, excitedly shared, “Puregold’s common language across its 500 stores nationwide is not just groceries but also music. Hence, we gathered our loyal shoppers and gave them a world-class concert experience featuring our own brand endorsers.”

    Mayonnaise came out to perform “Jopay” alongside KAIA.
    PPop met Pinoy rock when G22 and Mayonnaise shared the stage at the Philippine Arena.
    Singer-songwriter Yeng Constantino harmonized with the PPop trio of G22.

    Piedad further expressed yet another significant purpose behind the concept: “The night was about celebrating who we are as Filipinos—our stories, our music, and our shared pride. Seeing fans come together is one panalo moment we are very proud of.”

    The first surprise popped up during BINI’s set, when James Reid stepped out to join the girls for a smooth mashup of “Secrets” and his own R&B hit “Di Bale.” The crowd roared, and just like that, the tone was set: anything could happen.

    Multiple generations of Pinoy artists stood tall at the Philippine Arena as Rico Blanco joined SB19 on stage.

    Hannah Molarca of the Philippine Daily Inquirer described the number as a “a collab to die for.” Twitter user @ciaogiacomoReid echoed the sentiment with a post that read, “pasabog performance indeed!!”

    And just when things felt like they’d peaked, Stell (SB19), Charlotte (KAIA), and Alfea (G22) emerged mid-performance to join BINI in a synchronized dance for “Shagidi”—uniting P-Pop’s finest in a single, show-stopping showcase.

    Then came the full-circle moment: Mayonnaise, the iconic 2000s rock band, surprised fans by joining KAIA for a live rendition of “Jopay.” The collab felt especially meaningful for KAIA’s Angela, who once went viral for covering the song on TikTok in 2022. Now, she was singing it with the original band—before a frenzied arena crowd.

    “Grabe namang pasabog ‘to!” wrote @KittyOfreneo4 on Twitter speaking on Mayonnaise’s appearance. The official SoundCheckManila on Twitter even posted, “Never thought we would see this but we ain’t complaining! When P-Pop meets rock, sparks fly!”

    Later on, iconic singer-songwriter Yeng Constantino performed her hit song “Salamat” alongside the magnetic PPop trio of G22. Yeng even posted a backstage video of her and G22 harmonizing together while singing the song. The video had netizens like @rayaaau_ on Twitter begging, “We need a studio ver pls.” Fellow user @bro_bonk also shared how impressive the G22 collab performance was, saying that “ibang klase ang kanilang performance with Yeng Constantino, napapakanta ang audience.”

    Rico Blanco then joined along with SB19 for their hit song “Dungka.”
    The variety of OPM’s styles and history were represented on the stage at Puregold’s OPM Con 2025.

    As SB19 performed “Liwanag sa Dilim,” the crowd roared oncemore as OPM royalty Rico Blanco stepped onto the stage. Then came the unexpected twist: Blanco grooved to “Dungka” alongside SB19, G22, and KAIA, with BINI’s Sheena joining the mix. Three of the country’s biggest girl groups united to celebrate this climactic moment. It wasn’t just a performance—it was a grand statement.

    G22 surprised fans by joining SB19 on stage during the performance of “Dungka.”
    BINI’s Sheena dazzled fans by joining forces with SB19 to dance along to the song “Dungka.”
    The forces of PPop stood side by side in the Philippine Arena for the historic Puregold OPM Con 2025.

    Puregold’s OPM Con 2025 was not a celebration of what OPM has been; it was a glimpse into what it can be. A genre that constantly evolves, yet never loses its soul. OPM Con 2025 honored the past, elevated the present, and gave the future a colossal stage to stand on. From stadium anthems to nostalgic throwbacks, Puregold created a space where the entire spectrum of Pinoy sound could shine. And in doing so, Puregold OPMCON is now officially one of the biggest historic moments in Philippine music.

  • Puregold OPM Con 2025: A Celebration of Filipino Music and the Vision of Vincent Co

    Puregold OPM Con 2025: A Celebration of Filipino Music and the Vision of Vincent Co

    The Philippine concert scene is buzzing with excitement as they prepare to storm the Philippine Arena on July 5, 2025, with Puregold OPM Con 2025. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a cultural milestone. It’s the biggest Original Pilipino Music (OPM) concert of the year, with a galaxy of the country’s best stars and up-and-coming artists.

    The concert features emerging musicians like G22 and KAIA, as well as P-pop stars SB19 and BINI, rap stalwarts Flow G and Skusta Clee, and SunKissed Lola’s soulful vibe.

    Fans from as far away as Singapore, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, and other nearby countries are booking flights to witness this historic event, and the excitement is electric due to multiple trending topics about the event on X, sold-out ticket drives at Puregold stores, and trending music videos that have received millions of hits. With 30,000 people expected to fill the iconic venue, the atmosphere is sure to be nothing short of euphoric, with every seat pulsing with the combined energy of the fans united by their love of Filipino music.

    OPM Con 2025 has been a topic of discussion for months. To purchase tickets, customers have been waiting in line at Puregold locations across the nation. By using their Aling Puring or Perks cards to shop, loyal customers could earn their way into the concert. This is a novel way to sell tickets that allows ordinary Filipinos to attend. The event was so popular that all of the tickets were sold out in a single day during the last ticket drop at Puregold Cubao on June 28.

    Puregold’s President, Vincent Co

    Puregold is at the center of this cultural trend. It began as a chain of grocery stores but has since become a supporter of Filipino art. OPM Con 2025 is more than just a concert; it’s a strong statement of Puregold’s commitment to making the OPM scene better. This is very important to the company’s president, Vincent Co. Co is a humble, down-to-earth leader, and his love of the arts is a big part of what makes Puregold who it is. Because of his leadership, the store has become a cultural force. It is still affordable and easy to get to, but it has also welcomed a new generation of Filipinos who see Puregold as more than just a store—it’s a place where they can make their dreams come true.

    Vincent Co’s goal for Puregold is more than just a business; he wants to leave a legacy of pride in being Filipino and new ideas. Under his leadership, Puregold has become a supporter of the arts, not just music but also other creative activities. The Puregold CinePanalo film festival is a great example of this. It gives a lot of opportunities to both professional and student filmmakers to make real Filipino stories. A lot of CinePanalo entries have been praised, and some have even won big awards and been shown at film festivals around the world. This shows that Puregold’s help makes a difference all over the world. People have also liked Puregold’s digital stories, like the web series “Si Sol at si Luna,” which shows what it’s like to be Filipino every day with a mix of humor and heart.

    OPM Con 2025 promises to take this vision to new heights. The Philippine Arena will come to life with world-class production design, with stages made just for each act’s style. Expect SB19’s dynamic energy, BINI’s vibrant charisma, Flow G and Skusta Clee’s raw intensity, SunKissed Lola’s soulful depth, and G22 and KAIA’s fresh, bold sounds. This event shows how Puregold, led by Vincent Co, is changing what it means to be a Filipino brand.

    Puregold makes OPM Con easy to get to by letting people buy tickets at grocery stores and supporting both well-known and up-and-coming artists. This helps Filipino music—and the stories behind it—stay alive.

    The excitement only grows as July 5 gets closer. OPM Con 2025 will be a night of music, passion, and pure Pinoy pride at the world’s largest indoor arena. Puregold is one step closer to achieving its dream of a Philippines where every artist has a stage and every story has a voice.
