Which Concert?

The month of January is Fiesta month in Cebu because of the Sinulog. It will be the time of the year where the tourists, both local and foreign, will be flocking to Cebu to join the festivities. It's also this month where a LOT of artists will be having their concerts here, and as much as I would love to watch them all, I can't afford it, so I narrowed them down to the ones I love most. I got three.

Martin has always been my greatest musical influence. I learned a lot about music and about life because of him, and there have been instances that people would compare our voices which is both flattering and kinda absurd since he IS the Concert King, while I'm just someone who loves music. While I personally don't like Pops, she complements Martin vocally, and their rapport on-stage is perfect.

I've always loved Lea ever since I started in theatre, and her concerts are always elegant and somewhat enchanted. She didn't voice two Disney heroines for nothing. It's always a treat hearing her sing.


Now this may come as a surprise to those who know me, but yes, my wife and I love the Kanto Boys. Vhong Navarro has always been my idol in dancing and local comedy. He's just a natural. Billy, Luis and John Lloyd are not only good in their respective fields, they've already proven their worth with the awards that they have. And as a group, they're just hilariously talented.


I would really love to watch all three shows, but I can't. Okay, I won't. I have to choose only one. It's the start of the year so I have to save, and save a lot since I'm not earning as much as before, and my daughter is turning 7 years old on January 6.

So, which one would I choose? It's a difficult choice but since I've never missed Martin's shows in Cebu, I will have to choose his and Pop's concert. It's hard to let Lea's and the Kanto Boys' shows pass, but I have to.

There's always a next time.
