IDOL. LODI. I see these words a lot on social media especially in my engagement with kababayans all over the world. Usually they give reference to people in the entertainment industry that they admire, or people who sing very well to qualify and win in the “Global Pinoy Singing Idol” competition they watch on ABS-CBN’s The Filipino Channel (TFC).
But ABS-CBN’s Radio DZMM, of which I have been an anchor for more than 12 years, and TFC, led by the Integrated News and Current Affairs Department of ABS-CBN have given “IDOL” a whole new meaning it rightfully deserve.
Going beyond Filipinos’ innate gift of singing, the “Global Pinoy Idol” campaign now aims to keep the spirit of Bayanihan alive by sharing stories of Filipinos helping one another around the world.
As MyTFC.com shared, “DZMM Global Pinoy Idol is a global campaign to share and promote inspiring stories of overseas Filipinos who helped their fellow Filipinos. Our Idols will be recognized and acknowledged during the event. Kapamilya artists will also entertain and give tribute performances for our idols, guests and event attendees.”
This campaign has started honoring our Global Pinoy Idols in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand. Now, we will share and promote inspiring stories of Filipinos in America helping their fellow Filipinos here in their time of need.
Our idols will be recognized and acknowledged during the event “Global Pinoy Idol Las Vegas”.
Kapamilya artists Randy Santiago, Jaya and Inigo will also entertain and give tribute performances for our idols, guests and event attendees. I will be hosting this event with DZMM’s Ahwel Paz. Hear the stories of our Global Idols and be entertained by our world-class performers!
The event will be held on NOVEMBER 23, 2019, Saturday, at the International Theatre of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino
