Roma Pradhan Stages Charity Concert "Musical Soirée V" on April 27


A wonderful night of alluring and beautiful songs from Indian singer Roma Pradhan takes the stage once again for "Musical Soiree V."

This annual event bringing great music will be staged at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in RCBC Plaza, Makati City on April 27 from 6 to 8 PM. 

Roma Pradhan started Musical Soiree in 2014 as a way of giving back to the community. 



The fifth installment of her annual fundraising show promises to be even better than previous years as Roma will be performing a variety of Hindi music genres, ranging from Bollywood classics to more the modern hits of today. As per previous years, she is also known for performing a Tagalog song at each show; this year she will be singing "Tagumpay Nating Lahat," a song originally sung by award-winning international Broadway star Lea Salonga.

A successful artists who uses her God-given talent for the good of others, Roma, who hails from Calcutta, India, grew up in traditional household. She and her brother loved music and singing. She started learning Indian Classical vocal music from the age of 7. 

She is also a Sangeet Prabhakar in Hindustani defined as a Bachelor's degree with Music from a recognised University and B.Ed. Sangeet Prabhakar examination of the Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahabad. This makes her an expert in Hindustani classical music and she has won numerous singing competitions and awards, achieving highly impressive feats.  This led to her becoming a sought after singer who has performed professionally up until 20 years ago. 

Roma found herself moving to Manila along with her family and her husband and currently has a career in recruitment. She is also a passionate Buddhism practitioner, and led her to use her musical talent for the betterment of a country that gave her so much.  

Musical Soiree came  into fruition ib 2014 due to this idea of giving back to the comminity. Roma feel fulfilled by this event, which gives her an opportunity to singthus bringing her joy while creating value in our society. 


Proceeds of "Musical Soiree V" will go towards financing the education of 33 elementary school students from Tahanan ng Pagmamahal. This is the second year that Roma's concert will be benefiting this Taguig-based non-profit organization. In its first year, the profits of this charity event helped the organization Ang Misyon. The Musical Soiree events have also supported the orphanage "Shepherd of the Hills" for the past two years.

Everyone is beautiful, dark or white



Beauty should never have been one or the other, as claimed by SkinWhite in their new campaign.

Dark Skin versus White Skin. Does it really matter? Does one always have to be superior over the other? SkinWhiteis saying otherwise.

One would wonder why a skin whitening brand such as SkinWhite would dare to say that dark skin is beautiful.




“It’s all about choice”, says Rachelle Layda, Marketing Manager for Whitening of Splash Corporation. “SkinWhiteis a brand that empowers women to choose. A choice to define their own standard of beauty. If you choose to have dark skin, you are beautiful. If you choose to have white skin, you are just as beautiful. The choice is yours, and SkinWhite respects that choice”.

This inclusivity is refreshing and speak volumes, especially at a time when shaming and bullying is prevalent across social media. Bashers and haters abound online with no agenda but to shame in all forms and ways – body-shaming, hair-shaming, race-shaming, gender-shaming, and yes, also skin-shaming. “This is precisely the stigma that we wish to change. Skin color should not be about one being better than the other”, adds Pam Sulit, Splash Corporation’s VP for Marketing.



“White and dark are both beautiful.” confirms Rachel Villanueva, Creative Director of Petch & Partners, the creative agency that created this campaign for SkinWhite. She continues, “It’s about time that dark skin and white skin get the same adoration and acknowledgment.”

There has never been an outright claim that DARK IS BEAUTIFUL. And for the statement to come from a skin whitening brand, it should be easy for others to follow suit. 

And for those who choose that WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL, there’s due acknowledgement that they’re simply taking control of their beauty too. And why not? Wear your skin, whichever way you choose. 

Because DARK OR WHITE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
