World-class performers in ‘Powerhouse’ concert By: Crispina Martinez-Belen Published October 27, 2016, 12:05 AM

Expected to be a super successful concert is “Powerhouse,” slated tomorrow at The Theater of Solaire Resort & Casino. Performing are world-class Pinoy artists led by Arnel Pineda, originally vocalist of Ijos and Amo Band and now front man of the famed American group Journey.

Also performing is Michael Pangilinan, dubbed “Ang Bagong Kilabot Ng Mga Kolehiyala,” who won the hearts of many when he landed second place on ABS-CBN’s “Your Face Sounds Familiar” season 2. Prior, Michael interpreted twice (in 2014 and 2016) his song “Pare, Mahal Mo Daw Ako?” for ABS-CBN’s “Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs.” In 2014, the song garnered more than eight million views on YouTube. Michael recently released his second album under Star Magic with “Hanggang Kailan” as its carrier single.

The other performers are: Morissette Amon, touted the “Next Big Diva,” who was finalist in the first season of ABS-CBN’s “The Voice,” going on to make her theater debut in Repertory Philippines’ “Camp Rock;” and 4th Impact, composed of sisters Mylene, Irene, Almira and Celina, who wowed the judges of “X Factor UK” led by Simon Cowell.

Curtain-raisers for “Powerhouse” are Mayumi and the T.O.M.S. Band.

“Powerhouse” is produced by Lucky 7 Koi Productions who call themselves loyal friends of Solaire Resort & Casino.

For women only

The Soroptimist International Philippines Region (A Foundation), Inc. headed by Gov. Ma. Rosario “Cherry” Tumaneng, spearheaded the recent 9th National Biennial Summit on Women Policing with the theme “Enhancing the Role of Women for Change in Peace and Security Agenda.” The summit was held at the Apo View Hotel in Davao City. Chairperson of the summit was Ma. Thelma Ortiz.

In her message, Gov. Cherry said, “Policing is a rewarding and respected career that provide opportunities for growth, variety and a chance to make a difference in the communities. It also offers great benefits and helps improve the changing roles of women.”

As governor for biennium 2016-18, she looks forward to a harmonious and challenging biennium and hopes that the Soroptimist will be the Filipina’s organization of choice.

Soroptimist International (SI), is a worldwide organization of civic-hearted women whose membership numbers about 80,000 from among 3000 clubs in 132 countries. Mariquita Castelo, former national executive director of the Girl Scout of the Philippines, introduced Soroptimist in the Philippines in 1964 after meeting Betty Beck Prosser, then president of Soroptimist Federation of the Americas. The Soroptimist Club of Greater Manila (now known as Soroptimist Club of Founder Manila) was chartered on May 5, 1966.
