"Bringing artists and music helps us reminisce memories of our life back home. We give quality entertainment to our fellow Kababayans even for two hours."

The concerts are also an opportunity to showcase the beauty and depth of Filipino music among diverse cultures, fostering a greater appreciation and understanding.

"For the non-Filipinos, it’s our way of introducing and showcasing our Filipino talents and our music."
