THE Philippine’s Master Songwriter Ogie Alcasid marks his 30th year in show business with a nationwide concert with Davao City as his first stop. The OA concert was held at Flying V Ramon Magsaysay College Gym last July 21, 2018. Despite the downpour that clouded Saturday night, fans came in hordes and were not disappointed of Ogie Alcasid.
The concert was filled with people of different ages come together for a great night.
“Kahit umuulan nagpunta po kayo. Kung kailangan ko kayong halikan lahat, hahalikan ko kayo. Kahit lalaki hahalikan ko”, said Ogie as the crowd giggled with his funny antics.
After seeing him at his press conference held at Rophe’s Chicken in Buhangin, most of the invited guests agreed that indeed Ogie is truly a good-natured person. He patiently signed every memorabilia, interacted, and posed for pictures with fans and eagerly answered every question.
His OA concert also featured her beautiful and talented daughter Leila Alcasid who sang Pangako with her Dad and showcased her first single titled “Completely In Love” under Star Music. Leila is a bit shy yet she exudes too much star power.
Mr. Songwriter sang his certified hits that made the audience crave for more: Peksman, Mahal Kita Walang Iba, Kung Mawawala Ka, Sa Kanya, Nandito Ako, Dahil Mahal Kita, Kailangan Kita, and Kailangan Koy’ Ikaw among others.
Classical Sweetheart Lara Maigue and Contemporary Music Master Davey Langit are the concert’s performers who also showed Davaoeños their musical prowess.
Ogie reeled off one of his best impersonations onstage like the character Bansot Me whose jokes are extremely funny without any vulgarity.
He is indeed a consummate performer who proved his mettle for the last 30 years and counting. Ogie Alcasid is excited about his upcoming 30th anniversary concert on August 24 at the Big Dome.
One of the most exalting moments in the concert was Ogie’s rendition of his composition “The Lord is My Savior”, a song he has written for his wife Regine Velasquez-Alcasid when she was going through rough moments after losing her Daddy Gerry a few years back. The crowd shouted “AMEN” and one can feel an extraordinary spiritual vibe – a soft melody with incredible vocals that will put one straight in your feels.
Red Velvet Events and Promotions Divalicious Yuki Almazan said the concert will not only give the entertainment they promised but to raise fund as well. Part of the concert proceeds will be used for school building constructions in Davao Oriental, channeled through the Davao Beehive Foundation and the Lighthouse Foundation.
