AEGIS: "Halik Sa Ulan" - A Valentines Special at the New Frontier Theater

People sorely miss the Filipino pop rock band AEGIS. With the passing of their lead vocalist Mercy Sunot last November, it would be an injustice to just leave their music and legacy behind. This coming February 1 and 2, they'll be holding a concert entitled AEGIS: Halik Sa Ulan, A Valentines Special at the New Frontier Theater, Araneta City.

Juliet and Ken will bring you some of their best hits plus a throng of love songs, putting their own AEGIS spin so you could get the lovely valentine's day feels you've been looking for.They will also be performing songs with AEGIS' keyboardist Stella Pablico, drummer Vilma Goloviongo, bassist Weng Adriano and their lead guitarist Rey Abenoja. For sure, there will be a part of the show that will be dedicated to Ms. Mercy, and how she was able to put up a good fight, and how important it would be to continue living with their music as we remember her. If you've been following her on TikTok, you could see how she still performed like there was no tomorrow, something that we'd want to always remember her for right? Also performing in the show is promising singing boy group Formula 5. Aside from that, guests like Asia's Phoenix Morisette Amon, Jona, Ogie Alcasid and Julie Anne San Jose plus surprise guests will be singing in between numbers, and also do productions with the band, something you surely would love to see. 

We talked to the band this afternoon at the press conference held at VIVA CAFE and asked them what will happen at the show. AEGIS would like to thank Geof Lagria Styling, Alex Ruelo Photography, and their sponsors Uratex Monoblock, Power Melo, Boss Max 3, Newport World Resorts and Viva Cafe. This show is produced by Cues + Fues Advertising Inc. and creative direction by FLM Creatives. This is directed by Frank Lloyd Mamaril.

Make sure you get tickets via TICKETNET.COM.PH on either dates because they promise nostalgia, the same brand of music and more this coming February 1 and 2. 

PETA's Rak of Aegis Presented by PLDT Home Fibr

Tomorrow is a nice day to just lounge around and see RAK OF AEGIS. I've watched in in PETA Theater a couple times and every instance I do, I feel like it's a new show. Since the pandemic hit, it's been a little difficult for productions to stage these shows because they needed to limit audience in physical events like that. This time, they did it online (July 31, August 1, August 7, August 8) so you've got about 2 days left for the staging this year.

I'm watching it tomorrow via Premium Video on Demand service of Ticket2Me for only Php 1,000. It's a lot cheaper than tickets I bought in PETA a few years back. Thanks to PLDT HOME because they're one of the sponsors of the show #PLDTHomeForYourArts.

I'm excited! If you want to watch the show, visit ticket2me.net and get your tickets. There's one tomorrow and on the 8th so don't miss it!

Derrick Monasterio Prepares for RAK OF AEGIS Stint

If you haven't watched Rak of Aegis yet, this might be a good time to do that. Kapuso hunk Derrick Monasterio just landed the role of Tolits in the musical and he's raring to perform at the PETA Theater in Quezon City.

Derrick is no stranger to singing (album and shows to boot) and the caliber of talent in the musical is a bit daunting, but he did the deed and auditioned for it. He wasn't too confident because when he did the short audition, he was basically told that they will call him (a bit of an excuse sometimes to nicely say no in job interviews) but he was surprised when they called back and said they will have him play the role.

Previous actors who have done this have been raved by critics, he's ready for it and promises he'll do his best (did it well according to Twitter noise this week) so if you're looking for a different take on Rak of Aegis, this might be a good month to watch it. Repeat watchers included.

Here is our interview with Derrick during a blogcon by Artist Center.
