TV5 to hold auditions for KantaPilipinas at SM

TV5's newest and biggest nationwide musical reality search, KantaPilipinas believes in the talent of the Filipino.

While the news reports the damages of calamity brought by floods previously hit Cagayan de Oro, the faith of the Filipino to lift spirits up should be promoted to push recovery and strength of the region.

TV5 calls on the nation to sing with KantaPilipinas, which is set to hold its first on-ground audition at SM City Cagayan de Oro on February 24 as the beginning of its series of auditions tour in the entire country.

Open to all aspiring singers 14 to 30 years old, male and female, solo, duet or groups with a maximum of five members, TV5's KantaPilipinas will not be your usual singing talent search. Contestants' lives and stories will be featured to make more Filipinos appreciate the talent more than the song. It is open to all genres including pop, acoustic, rap/hip-hop, rock/alternative, R&B, dance, novelty, among others.

Aimed at helping aspiring singers maximize their potentials and achieve their dreams, KantaPilipinas will provide chosen contestants with mentors in singing, stage performing, personality development, style and fashion to help package them into the next singing sensations.

With its first leg of auditions to be held in Cagayan de Oro, KantaPilipinas is giving new hope to talented Filipinos who can rise above the challenges to live their dreams.

The series of nationwide auditions continue in SM Cebu on March 2, SM Davao on March 10, SM Baguio on March 16, SM Iloilo on March 23, SM North EDSA on March 30 and SM Batangas on April 20.
