The Queen City of the South once again proved its creative pulse as Fusion: The Philippine Music Festival returned to Cebu for its second year, bringing the OPM experience to SM Seaside Cebu. The festival celebrated homegrown pride and unity through a night of music, culture, and collaboration that resonated deeply with Cebuanos.
This year’s edition of Fusion Cebu was more than just a concert — it was a festival for Cebuanos, by Cebuanos.The entire production was mounted from the ground up with Cebuano partners — from the show directors, stage builders, and set designers to the safety, security, and operations teams — showcasing Cebu’s world-class talent both onstage and behind the scenes.
True to its name, Fusion lived up to the spirit of musical collaboration by spotlighting a lineup that blended local icons and national acts. Headliners Urbandub, Kai Montinola, and Rain Celmar shared the stage with crowd favorites Cup of Joe and Al James, creating a powerful showcase of genres and generations. The celebration continued with performances from Cebuano artists Ferdie Aragon, Jimmy Ricks, and the Karaoke World Championships Visayas Artists, alongside dance numbers from Sugbo Brawta.
Beyond the stage, Fusion Cebu offered a full-sensory experience. Festivalgoers explored interactive brand booths, vibrant installations, and exclusive concert perks, all while celebrating the creativity and spirit of Cebu.
But Fusion has always been more than music. It’s about uniting as one and giving back to the community. As Cebu continues to recover from the recent earthquakes, Fusion is extending a helping hand by partnering with MBC Operation Tulong — donating part of the event’s ticket sales to local recovery and relief efforts. The festival also launched the Fusion Care Kits initiative, inviting concert-goers to bring hygiene kits or food packs to the venue. Each donation contributes to the community drive and entitles the giver to raffle entries for exciting Fusion prizes. Together, we’re stronger as one.
Nescafé, Fusion’s partner since the festival’s 10th anniversary in Manila, shared:
“NESCAFÉ believes that every cup of coffee can be a spark of inspiration. Helping us rise with purpose, begin with a smile, and share inspiration with others. Music has the power to do the same: it wakes us up, unites us, and gives us the courage to express ourselves. By supporting this Fusion, we champion the voices of young Filipino artists whose passion can wake up the world.”
Fusion Cebu 2025 was made possible through the support of its major brand partners Nescafé and Tanduay Flavored Mixes, together with Hapee Toothpaste, and Fudgee Barr, in partnership with the Republiq Group of Companies.
Beyond entertainment, Fusion continues to support the local music industry through its partnership with the Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM), where part of the proceeds fund programs that uplift and sustain Filipino musicians nationwide.
Don’t miss out Fusion Cebu! Grab your tickets on Ticketmelon, and follow Fusion’s page for more exciting news and updates!

INITIATE 2025 aims to bridge education and industry by bringing together students, educators, employers, and government partners to foster collaboration and prepare the Filipino workforce for the evolving world of work. At its core, the Congress underscores the importance of education as a driver of national progress, and highlights how partnerships between the government and private organizations are vital to building a resilient, future-ready workforce. “This Congress is very much aligned with our Philippine Labor and Employment Plan 2023–2028, which focuses on increasing the employability of our workforce, expanding access to employment opportunities, and achieving shared labor market governance,” said Asec. Patrick Patriwirawan Jr., OIC Assistant Secretary of DOLE’s Bureau of Local Employment. “Through this Congress, we provide a platform to empower young people and job seekers as they gain practical insights on employment trends, connect with government programs, and learn about career development support programs.” Representing the private sector, ECOP Director General Jose Roland Moya underscored the critical role of education-industry alignment. “INITIATE is more than just a conference—it’s a forward-looking platform that seeks to build an ecosystem of ideas and a dynamic network of changemakers from government, industry associations, academe, and civil society. The future of work demands a workforce that is agile, adaptable, and equipped not only with technical skills, but also with creativity, critical thinking, and resilience,” he said.
Over the course of three days, attendees can expect:
INITIATE-ED Talks – Inspiring presentations from leaders and innovators on the future of work and education.
INITIATE-ED Circles – Panel discussions addressing skills gaps, workforce readiness, and education-industry alignment.
Networking & Exhibits – Opportunities for schools, companies, and organizations to showcase programs, innovations, and career pathways.
With thousands of expected participants—including senior high and college students, educators, NGOs, business leaders, and industry professionals—INITIATE 2025 seeks to become a national movement that strengthens public-private partnerships to uplift the education and employment landscape in the Philippines.
“At the heart of it all, INITIATE 2025 is about connection, between classrooms and offices, between policies and practice, and between students and their dreams,” said Kayla Cabasal, who leads INITIATE 2025 under Creat8 Stories Inc. “The future is not built by one sector alone, but when we choose to come together. That’s the story of INITIATE, and we’re inviting everyone to be part of it.”
Join the movement. Don’t miss INITIATE – A Career & Education Congress, happening on October 17–19, 2025 at Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall.

In business, the right connection can change everything. That’s the driving idea behind Ortigas Connect: ELEVAT10N, a business fellowship hosted by BNI Abundance – Ortigas Chapter, happening on October 24, 2025, 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at Edsa Shangri-La Manila.
ELEVAT10N is the latest edition of the chapter’s signature “Ortigas Connect” series—this time designed for CEOs, business owners, executives and startup founders who are ready to scale and want to grow through referrals, trust, and collaboration instead of cold outreach.
At the center of this year’s event is Coach Edwin Soriano, newly inducted Chapter President and Philippine Country Representative of Quality Mind Global. For Coach Edwin, leadership is about serving and raising others.
“I see this as an opportunity to raise the bar—not just for the chapter, but for every entrepreneur who walks into that room,” says Coach Edwin. “I lead my own growth as a person and in my business. With much help from others, I’d love to bring others along this journey. I’d love to be brought along with others’ journeys. That’s what Elevat10n is all about: growing together.”
The chapter’s results speak for themselves. From January 2025 to today, BNI Abundance – Ortigas has recorded 12,210 referrals and generated ₱104 million in closed business among its members and referral partners. The event aims to open that success system to a wider circle of entrepreneurs ready to take the next step.
Guests at Ortigas Connect: ELEVAT10N will experience how a structured referral system works in real time. The program also includes learning sessions about the Core Value of Givers Gain®, as well as business strategies on how to grow, expand and elevate. Each participant will also have 45 seconds to introduce their business and the type of clients or partners they’re looking for—essentially a spotlight moment in front of more than 70 potential referral partners. There will also be time for casual conversations over breakfast and coffee.
Who should attend: CEOs and Founders who are scaling, business owners seeking partners or clients, and professionals who feel one good connection away from their next breakthrough. (Freelancers and students are welcome, though the program focuses on growing enterprises.)
