NINA Mounts Repeat of NINA XX Concert

Looks like people are going to flock to the Newport Performing Arts Theater as Asia's Diamond Soul Siren NINA is doing the repeat of NINA XX The Anniversary Celebration on September 24, 2026 at 8pm. 

Her special guests include Christian Bautista, Top Suzara and Thor. The show will be directed by Calvin Neri and produced by EchoJam and Synth. Tickets will be available at Ticketworld.com.ph.

Nina says "The show was wonderful and the people wanted to see it one more time because they were very happy to see the show. I really take care of my voice, take care of myself by being happy and positive. I believe being not stressed means you are taking care of yourself. I don't do anything that could make my voice hoarse, to preserve my voice. My first song was There'll You'll Be, I was already emotional because that was for my fans. I already cried that time but when I finished Loved Moves in Mysterious Ways, I balled already. Twenty years is a long time but the only thing that has changed is having more confidence being in front of people. I am more relaxed now. I have to thank the parents, when I did Nina Live, they really shared my music to the next generation, I am so happy about that."

She adds "When I first sang Love Moves in Mysterious Ways, the meaning was just for a relationship, but now it's about the people who support me. The guests are here, more than the last time, I now have Christian, Top and Thor, we did a few songs that are different now. My jokes will be different if I feel like it. My family watched the last time and they requested a few things, I'm thankful for that."

The concert was already thought of after the first concert, it was not rocket science to do a repeat because the first one was sold out. At the first Nina XX concert, people were requesting for some songs with Christian but he wasn't available that time. They plan to do more songs after some good feedback from those who watched the first show, but that's going to be a surprise according to NINA. 

Trivia: When she did NINA LIVE she was actually sick. Her go to Karaoke songs include All By Myself, and she wants to be remembered with her song Love Moves in Mysterious Ways. She wants Can't Say That I Love You to be played more because she wrote that.

If you're reading this and see that you WANT to see her LIVE, go get tickets and do it! It'll be worth it!

ISHA PONTI Takes Emotional Journey with New Album LIKAS

Her smile and infectious charm was felt across the room. She began holding the mic and immediately grabbed our attention, like any other talented Filipino would do. She's ISHA PONTI, and yes, we felt right away how she wanted us to listen to her songs. 

Albeit quite familiar with her previous songs, she's taken a little different path than usual. She's launching a new album called LIKAS which she dubs as a more emotional and personal album. She sang her heart out in between conversations , and she began mustering the courage to let it all out, feel her songs made of love, her growth as an artist and undoubtedly raw self discovery. LIKAS for her was an authentic outlet, so she gives her time to be her truthful self, both as a songwriter and a storyteller. She also worked with several producers such as Adonis Tabanda,whom she worked with for her artistry and sensibility. She also garnered the nod of the 17th PMPC Star Awards for Music, a feat for a very talented person of her age in the industry. 

A few of the songs she sang resonated with me, particularly KABANATA which was about hope, love and longing. There's also NUMERO which was a bit catchy, and HINGA which was a bit of an emotional journey. If you're a bit more involved in OPM, she's got more singles like Darating, Halika, Warmth, Gulong, Bakas, Riversky and Mismo.

You may listen to her songs now on all streaming platforms, or listen to radio stations nationwide by requesting for it. In each single she plans to release, you'll see her vulnerability, and hopeful beginnings. 

If you want to see her perform live, she's having an album launch this coming June 20th at the Viva Cafe in Quezon City. Show starts 7pm and she will be with other special guests to join in on the fun too. LIKAS is her vehicle to make sure you're going to hear more of her songs, and if you're up to it, she's on social media via Ponti Entertainment Productions.
