All for Love: OPM Artists Come Together to Celebrate Love and Music

Love is truly in the air, and The Beat Asia felt it strongly this Valentine’s season at the recently concluded “ILYSM: A Valentine Harana Concert” at the Araneta Coliseum. Featuring some of the most in-demand OPM artists today, the venue was filled with the best romantic hits that made Heart’s Day extra special.

On the brightly lit stage filled with neon signs that are all connected with love, Janine Teñoso, Rhodessa, Janine Berdin, Rob Deniel, Adie, and Arthur Nery graced the stage to welcome everyone by performing the classic OPM hit “Harana” by Parokya Ni Edgar.

The artists then took turns performing some of the country's iconic hits while adding their own renditions, including "Narda,” performed by Janine Berdin; "Sundo,” by Rhodessa; “Di Na Muli,” by Janine Teñoso; “Closer You and I,” by Adie; “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita,” by Rob Deniel; and “Maging Sino Ka Man” by Arthur Nery.

As the night deepened and the audience continued to sing and swing along, the Big Dome radiated with pink and blush hues, accompanied by romantic tunes.

Each artist prepared a special set where they serenaded the audience with their original songs. Janine Teñoso charmed her way to the stage, followed by Rhodessa’s sweet melodic voice.

Adding to the romantic night, Jerome Ponce and Krissha have also made a special appearance. The lead roles for the latest romantic series “Safe Skies Archer” performed the series’ official soundtrack, to which fans couldn’t help but squeal as they felt the chemistry of the love team go through the roof.

The night continued with Janine Berdin singing her hit "SITWASYONSHIP,” followed by the rising P-Pop group Alamat that shone brightly on stage with their sparkly and blush-themed outfits. Rob Deniel followed right after with his romantic pop beats.

Adie’s amicable presence earned screams and shy giggles from the crowd as he took the stage and performed “Tahanan” before giving the stage to the last performer of the night, Arthur Nery, who shared the stage shortly with Janine Teñoso to perform their song “Pelikula.”

Concluding the pre-Valentine’s night on a sweet note, Rhodessa, Janine Teñoso, and Janine Berdin treated the audience to a special rendition of “Akin Ka Na Lang” and “Yakap Sa Dilim.”

The male artists then also performed the greatest hit love songs with Rob Deniel’s “Ulap,” along with Adie performing “Paraluman” and Arthur Nery performing “Pagsamo,” before inviting all the performers up on stage once again to end the night with “Harana.”
