Pop Sweetheart Julie Anne San Jose and Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista are kicking off the party on the local concert circuit as they banner a concert series entitled The Sweetheart and the Balladeer: Fun Night Only.
“Based on the title itself, the show is going to be a fun night,” Christian told Manila Standard in an interview.
The multiplatinum singer added that their guests Donita Nose and Super Tekla will be in charge of the fun side of the show while they provide the entertainment with their songs and performance.
“We’ll bring in the fun through songs and dance numbers. It’s a new combination that we are trying out and that what makes this show even more exciting,” he continued.
Its first leg, happening on Jan. 27 at the Iloilo Convention Center, Mandurriao, Iloilo City, is set to highlight Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival.
“It’s going to be a pre-Valentine show. We will perform love songs for experienced people, for the innocent ones and probably for the heartbroken member of the audience,” Christian said of the concert repertoire.
For Julie Anne, the concert is going to be a must-watch event to start off the year counting her previous collaborations with Christian make the show even more enjoyable.
“We feel more comfortable onstage now and people would see that, there’s chemistry now given that we already know how to perform together on the concert stage. Working with him has become so much easier, too,” Julie Anne said.
Meanwhile, treating her fans with her sweet voice is special guest The Clash Grand Champion Golden Cañedo.
“It’s an honor to be part of the show. It’s going to be my first major show after The Clash and sharing the stage with my idols makes this experience more memorable and exciting,” Golden shared.
The Kapuso Concerts is a collaboration between the Network’s regional arm GMA Regional TV, GMA Entertainment Group, and GMA Pinoy TV.
“2019 is definitely a big year for us here in GMA Network. We are excited to share GMA Regional TV’s major project together with GMA Entertainment Group and GMA Pinoy TV—Kapuso Concerts,” said GMA RTV Vice President and Head Oliver Amoroso. “
“This year, we are bringing the biggest and the brightest performers closer to our Kapuso viewers as we mount a series of concerts not just all over the country but also abroad. And bannering the first leg of world-class shows are no less Julie Anne and Christian. And we will see them perform live during Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival, a sure treat to our Kapusong Ilonggos,” he added
“We want our Kapuso viewers to enjoy quality concerts closer to where they are. This is why we have partnered with GMA Regional TV and GMA Pinoy TV to mount Kapuso Concerts with our first leg bannered by two of the country’s best singers. Both of them have proven their power to mesmerize the concert audience either during their solo shows or concerts where they share the stage. Kapuso concert-goers should definitely look forward to this concert,” GMA Vice President for Business Development Department III Darling de Jesus Bodegon shared.
The Sweetheart and the Balladeer: Fun Night Only will have another run on Feb. 10 at The Atrium, Limketkai Center, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro. The Clash alumnus Josh Adornado will join Christian, Julie Anne, and Donita Nose and Tekla.

The New Year calls for new reasons to celebrate with Every Kind of Family, memories created over good company and even better food. With Max’s Restaurant’s latest offerings, celebrating Every Day to the Max has never been more delicious.
A classic Filipino dish served with special spin, the Adobo Ribs is made by slow-cooking a half slab until it is moist and fork-tender. It is then sweetened with onions, served with a tangy and flavorful sauce, and topped with leeks that automatically brings back memories of eating the classic adobo.
Best when shared, the Adobo Ribs can be enjoyed with family and friends alongside a serving of Sizzling Tofu or Pancit Canton, one large plain rice, three glasses of Iced Tea, and three dessert-sized servings of Buko Pandan—all for just P899.
Max’s Restaurant now also serves Beef Salpicao, cubed beef sirloin stir-fried in a hot pan with lots of minced garlic and a variety of spices. Savory and garlicky, this Pinoy favorite with a Spanish origin can be enjoyed Ala Carte for P499 or served in a Rice Bowl for only P249.
“We at Max’s Restaurant are all about championing Filipino food and celebrating Every Kind of Family,” said the well-loved brand’s National Business Unit Head, Paolo Serrano. “With the Adobo Ribs and Beef Salpicao making its way to our stores, we hope to bring together more families and celebrate with them through the food we serve and the service we provide.”
