IN MEMORIAM ...FREDDIE AGUILAR (1953-2025)

The PMPC Star Awards Inc. mourns the passing of a true icon and pillar of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) — Mr. Freddie Aguilar.
Ka Freddie was not only a powerful voice of the people but a storyteller who gave soul to Filipino struggles, dreams, and history. Through his music, he transcended time and borders, with “Anak” becoming a global anthem of parental love and regret — translated into over 50 languages and embraced by millions around the world. The PMPC had the honor of recognizing his unparalleled contributions to Filipino music twice through our annual Star Awards for Music.
In 2013, we presented him with the Pilita Corrales Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding work and influence as a singer. In 2017, we honored him again with the Parangal Levi Celerio Lifetime Achievement Award, this time celebrating his depth and brilliance as a composer.
To be given both distinctions is a rare feat, a testament to the breadth of his artistry. Freddie Aguilar was not just a performer — he was a voice for the voiceless, a chronicler of our nation’s pulse, and a man whose music stood at the frontline of cultural change. Maraming salamat, Ka Freddie. Ang iyong musika ay mananatiling buhay, gaya ng alaala ng iyong puso para sa bayan. With deepest respect and gratitude, PMPC Star Awards Inc. Star Awards for Music

KUNG may malay (hahaha, malay daw o?) noong late '90s at kapag nagkataon na mahilig kayo sa mga gwapo at nagseseksihang mga aktor, siguro ay isa na sa inyong pinagpantasyahan itong si Poppo Lontoc. Ang gwapo naman kasi ni Poppo, metiso, flawless at isa sa edge niya sa mga sexy actors noon ay alaga siya ni Direk Maryo J. Delos Reyes na ilang taon nang namayapa. Paboritong kunin ng mga film producer noon si Poppo dahil magaan itong katrabaho, hindi masskit sa ulo at nakakaarte naman. Pero nung mawala ang sexy movies, nabalitaan ko na lang na pabalik balik ito ng Japan. At least, tuloy tuloy pa rin ang kanyang kita. But lately, napapanood si Poppo na nagla live selling . Mga high end bags ang kanyang binebenta at sa tuwing sumasalang na siya, mapapa mine talaga ang mga madam dahil sa magaling itong mamboladas at mag sales talk. At ang maganda, hindi pa rin nawawalan ng projects si Poppo in fact, kasama siya ngayon sa action movie na Beyond the Call of Duty Nasabak si Po...
