"Gary V Sings: Just For You" album presented with a Gold Record Award

Tweet

The latest album of Gary Valenciano, Gary V Sings: Just For You, has recently been presented with a Gold Record Award for its outstanding sales. The award was given last February 10 during ASAP 18, where he also launched the second single of the album – a modern take on Stephen Bishop’s It Might Be You. Present during the awarding is Universal Records’ General Manager Kathleen Dy-Go.

The album includes Gary’s renditions of memorable hits like In Your Eyes, It Might Be You, Somewhere Down The Road, What Matters Most, Overjoyed, among others.

This newest album is just the first a series of "Gary V Sings" albums. It should be noted that "Gary V Sings: Just For You" is Gary's 26th full-length studio album with Universal Records. 

"Gary V Sings: Just For You" is another creative and original concept by Gary which is six-months in the making. "I was in the car and I told Kiana [my youngest child] to make 'pa-simple' in asking her mom, my wife Angeli, about the songs she once mentioned to me. These songs were just some of her favorites that she had always dreamed I would record," says Gary.

"I wanted to make that year's Christmas a special one for her by actually recording some of her choice cuts as a gift. And so I did. The concept was very different from all my other recordings as I only had one instrument accompanying me as I sang...the piano," explains Gary. "Years went by and only Angeli has had a copy of those songs. From the very start I wanted these songs recorded for only one person...and that was her."

"Gary V Sings: Just For You," according to Gary "stems from a dream of a wife and from the heart of a husband, to an album that Gary hopes for many to enjoy and to find quite endearing."

The CD contains 10 tracks including Barry Manilow’s “Somewhere Down The Road” and “As Sure As I’m Standing Here”; Stephen Bishop’s “It Might Be You”; Judy Collins’ “Send In The Clowns”; Stevie Wonder’s “Overjoyed”; James Ingram’s “Just Once”; Kenny Rankin’s “What Matters Most”; Michael Jackson’s “Someone In The Dark”; Burton Cummings’ “I Will Always Wait For You”; and the CD’s carrier single, George Benson’s “In Your Eyes.”

ONE DIRECTION 'ONE WAY OR ANOTHER (TEENAGE KICKS)’ THE OFFICAL RED NOSE DAY 2013 SINGLE

Tweet

The world's biggest pop band, One Direction, have teamed up with the UK charity, Comic Relief, to record the official 2013 Red Nose Day charity single, creating their own unique take on the Blondie classic 'One Way Or Another.'

The single is produced by Julian Bunetta, and will available as a download starting 17th February, 2013.

2013 marks the 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day, the charity Comic Relief's biannual fundraising event. Originally launched on BBC1 on Christmas Day 1985, the idea for Comic Relief was to make the public laugh with specially commissioned sketches and routines while simultaneously highlighting and raising money for the then crippling famine situation in Ethiopia. Before long Red Nose Day was created, a charity telethon that brings together the cream of UK comedy and entertainment for one night of fundraising - the first Red Nose Day in 1988 raised an incredible £15million.

Since then, Comic Relief has gone from strength to strength raising over £600million to date for those in need in Africa and in the UK, with Red Nose Day becoming one of the biggest charity events on the British calendar. This year's event takes place on Friday 15th March 2013.

In January this year the band visited Africa to see for themselves why much needed money has to be raised, and also witness first hand the amazing work Comic Relief do.

One Direction will forgo any royalties due to them and therefore will not receive any payment in connection with this charity single.

In just over 14 months One Direction have sold over 15 million records globally. They have taken home a BRIT Award, 3 MTV Video Music Awards, 3 Teen Choice Awards and 3 MTV European Music Awards. Their second album 'Take Me Home' has to date reached No.1 in over 35 countries. This Spring, the band will begin their sold out World Tour in the UK, which includes a massive nine shows at London's O2 Arena. The band will document this journey and give fans a behind the scenes look into their lives with the release of their 3D concert film on August 23, 2013 in the UK, directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me).

The Return of a Champion Harris "The Hitman" Sarmiento is back to defend his PXC Lightweight Championship

Tweet

PXC is set to rock Manila AGAIN on February 16th, featuring a Lightweight Championship & some of the best rising stars of MMA from the Philippines, Guam, California, Hawaii, Japan, & Korea.

For people who can’t get enough of action, there’s nothing better than watching a good old fashioned brawl. Come February 16, there is going to be plenty of that and more inside the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City as the Pacific X-treme Combat, Asia Pacific’s biggest and best mixed martial arts organization, once again rolls into the country with PXC-35.

PXC has already established a name throughout Asia Pacific and its arrival in the Philippines last June 2011 cemented their reign as the premiere MMA organization by attracting the best fighters from the all over the world. With its most recent installment, PXC again makes its way to the Philippines to put a show in front of thousands of MMA fanatics.

“We are very excited to kick off the year with great matchups at PXC-35 in the Philippines,” says PXC CEO, EJ Calvo. “The card features fighters from all over the world along with rising MMA talent from the Philippines,” Calvo adds.

PXC-35 scheduled 9 action-packed fights to be headlined by a Lightweight title fight between Filipino talents Harris “The Hitman” Sarmiento (35-24) and Isaiah Ordiz (2-0). Coming off a disappointing loss to fellow Filipino-American Mark “Mugen” Striegl in PXC-34 last November, the veteran Sarmiento is set to bounce back and defend his belt against the young blood, Ordiz. This is surely a battle between a veteran and future star of the sport.

In addition, the match between American Alvin Cacdac (11-9) and undefeated Hawaiian Louis “Da Last Samurai” Smolka also draws attention primarily because the winner will most likely be the next contender for the Flyweight title currently held by Filipino fighter Ale “The Young Gun” Cali.

The PXC-35 fight card also includes Team Lakay’s Troy Bantiag (4-1) vs. Guam’s Tony Reyes (5-5), Japanese Chuji Kato (3-1) vs. Korean Top Team’s Hong Seung Chan (2-0), and Hawaiian Ronald Jhun (24-24) vs. Swede Zebastian Kadestam (3-0).

Other homegrown Filipino talents featured on the night are Dario Banario (2-0) vs. Joseph Mercado (1-1), Ruel Catalan (1-2) vs. Ernesto Montilla Jr. (0-1), Adrian Hillana (1-0) vs. Steve Grandeza (0-1), and Glenn Ranillo (1-2) vs. Mark Billena.

PXC-35 expects nothing but fireworks all night as fighters punch, kick and sprawl their way all for the glory of being crowned PXC victors. “We hope to see everyone at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City on the 16th of February and we promise you that it is going to be an exciting night of fights,” Calvo says.

PXC-35 is presented by San Mig Strong Ice and Sports 5. With special thanks to E-Games, Fitness First, FHM Philippines, FHM.com.ph, Premiere Condoms, Healthway Agility Phil, Beer Below Zero, Eden NightClub, Real Sports Radio, and Loqal.ph.
