A unique and delightful treat came Escolarians’ way as various P-Pop and OPM artists graced Centro Escolar University (CEU) – Manila grounds last March 8 as part of Dunkin’s Campus Pop Tour.
In collaboration with the University Student Council (USC), the event kicked off sweetly, with exclusive promotional videos starring Dunkin’s endorsers: Korean sensations Cha Eunwoo and ENHYPEN, escalating the excitement.
Escolarians then witnessed pleasant opening performances from Escolarian artists Jerome Ventinilla and Vermont Manabat, who had the crowd jamming and singing along to their covers of ‘Nangangamba’, ‘Mahika’, ‘Don’t Stop Believing’, and ‘Kathang Isip’.
Next, Press Hit Play (PHP) took the stage, showering the audience with their catchy tunes and dance moves with their ‘Hey Love’ and ‘Tell Me’ medley. PHP also covered the hit song ‘Raining in Manila’ and danced to ‘Daleng Dale’ x ‘Haypa’ medley.
As part of actively involving the crowd, a thrilling game of ‘All-Star Pop’ took place where Escolarians battled it out to guess Filipino singers, with team names inspired by Dunkin’ donut flavors.
The fun-filled event continued as Yara, the first-ever Grand Girl Group PPop Stars of PoPinoy, wowed the crowd with their ‘Bakit Papa’ cover, and with their performance of their debut song ‘ADDA’. Lucky Escolarians also had the chance to join the stage for a ‘Bakit Papa’ dance-off.
The star-studded lineup continued to shine with Gello Marquez, famous for his role in the hit rom-com series ‘He’s Into Her,’ serenading the audience with his soulful covers of ‘Yakap sa Dilim’, ‘Jopay’, and his song ‘Kumot at Unan’.
A captivating performance from Ace Banzuelo followed, serenading the crowd with his heartfelt songs ‘Pag-ibig’, ‘Himala’, and his top hit song ‘Muli’, which had Escolarians singing along.
Then, rising OPM artist Maki took the stage, performing his chart-topping hits ‘Kailan’ and ‘Saan’, along with his latest single ‘HBD,’ which had the crowd cheering and roaring.
The program ended with a message from CEU-Manila USC’s Treasurer, Keilah Dayrit, and a special photo opportunity for the first 100 buyers from the Dunkin’ booth.
