To celebrate TikTok’s diverse and growing community, the Philippines’ top artists Ben&Ben, Iñigo Pascual and Rico Blanco will perform LIVE on TikTok Philippines this Sunday, October 18, 2020 at 5PM for the platform’s biggest virtual event of 2020, #GenTikTokPH.

“Music is universal and powerful. It is what unites us with the community. #GenTikTokPH will be a celebration of everything we created out of love through music. Invite your Mahiwaga and let us have a wonderful time,” said Miguel Benjamin Guico, Ben&Ben. 

The 2-hour online LIVE show will feature various performances from top local artists, dancers, and content creators including JMKO, Kuya Ching, Madelaine Red, Mikey Bustos, Ralphe Austria, and many more. Auntie Julie, aka Macoy Dubs will be hosting the online event.

#GenTikTokPH is a recreation of the great moments on TikTok -- from entertainment to education and top trends. This is for the Generation TikTok and who made things happen.

“Expect nothing but a happy feeling all throughout! I’ll see you on Sunday,” said Rico Blanco. The OPM icon was TikTok’s ambassador for the #TikTokOPMPlaylist campaign which promoted independent Filipino musicians and local talents to the app’s growing audience back in October 2019. Since then, he continued to make OPM an ever-present content on the platform.

TikTok was built to inspire and enrich people’s lives through experiences that are genuine, joyful, and positive. TikTok has gone beyond being just a  content platform. TikTok is the content, the community and the culture that it created.

“Every click of the record button starts canvas for human creativity and every phone screen becomes a window to our world. Whether one’s making, remaking, reacting, or simply watching, we’re changing the world one TikTok video at a time. We’re happy and grateful to share this milestone to our community,” said User Content and Operations Manager John Castro. 

With its growing community of creators and users in the Philippines, TikTok is now ready to take the platform on a whole new level with a big announcement! After the event, TikTok will no longer be the same as they’ll take further all the creative possibilities.

“It is an honor to be an ambassador for World Vision and its spiritual nurture programs for children. I want to make the most of this opportunity by raising awareness so that more people will join and support the cause.” --- Iñigo Pascual

2017 is singer-actor Iñigo Pascual’s breakout year, releasing his chart-topping single Dahil Sa ‘Yo, singing the official Filipino rendition of Remember Me, the lead song from Disney-Pixar’s newest animated film “Coco,” and having a successful first solo concert under his belt. To cap off the year with another milestone, the recording artist joined international child-focused organization World Vision as its newest ambassador for children.

As a World Vision advocate, Iñigo aims to use his voice to help children know their basic rights and to promote good values among the youth. 

“Every child has the potential to make his or her dreams a reality, but this potential can only be tapped if they are given the right opportunities,” said Iñigo.

World Vision Resource Development Director Jun Godornes expressed his excitement in welcoming Iñigo to the World Vision family.

“Iñigo is proof that the youth can do amazing things with their talents, skills, and creativity. As a young artist himself, he can inspire Filipino children to not only reach for their dreams but also to be upstanding citizens who value their families and communities,” shared Godornes.

Now on its 60th year in the Philippines, World Vision continues its mission to provide children with better access to their most basic needs. The organization currently aims to give Noche Buena packages to 34,000 children across the country, a Christmas tradition that they have been doing since 2005.
