Patrons and guests of Casino Filipino can also enjoy exciting performances of the country’s best OPM artists this April: Rico Blanco (April 9 in CF Olongapo and April 16 in Casino Filipino Paranaque); Aicelle Santos (April 11 at Madison Satellite and April 12 at Ronquillo Satellite); Kaye and Cris Pastor (April 11 in CF Tagaytay and April 12 in CF Cebu); Jaya (April 16 in CF Pavilion, April 25 in CF Bacolod, and April 26 at Malabon Satellite); Jimmy Bondoc (April 25 at the 365 Plaza Satellite in Laoag); and Moonstar88 (April 29 at Malabon Satellite).
Acoustic singer Jimmy Bondoc lauds Casino Filipino for always inviting OPM artists to perform in its various venues. “Casino Filipino has been supporting my music since my first song became a hit in 2002 by featuring me in its nationwide shows. Natutuwa ako na hanggang ngayon, binibigyan pa rin nila ng chance ang new artists to pursue their dream to make it in the music industry,” he says.
As one of Casino Filipino’s favorite performers, Bondoc gained unforgettable memories during his shows. “I remember a Cebuana who told me that it was her long-time wish to watch me perform live but can’t afford to fly to Manila. Finally, she got to watch me at a show at Casino Filipino Cebu. She was so grateful to be there and it was a blessed evening for us both.”
PAGCOR Assistant Vice President for Entertainment Bong Quintana says Casino Filipino’s wide variety of entertainment offering, from comedy to great music, will surely give guests an exciting summer. “PAGCOR believes that Filipinos are among the best performers in the world. We take so much pride that Casino Filipino features our very own artists, from young stars to music legends,” he noted.
