Qatar- Acclaimed Filipino singers' concert tomorrow

Doha: The Philippines' concert king Martin Nievera and Asia's nightingale Lani Misalucha, two internationally acclaimed Filipino singers, are both keen to perform for Filipinos in Qatar at their show at Aspire Ladies Sports Hall tomorrow. Qatar is the first stop of the duo's three-nation concert tour in the region dubbed 'World Alliance Serenading the OFWs Middle East Tour 2019.

'We will be serenading the people who are the least serenaded, the hardworking overseas Filipino workers who are all over the world and make sure they feel important because they truly are the heroes of our country. I think after this concert we will be less proud as singers but more proud as Filipinos because we will all be united that night, Nievera said at a press meet yesterday at Radisson Blu Hotel Doha. 

With a career spanning over three decades, Nievera has released dozens of best-selling albums, starred in movies, featured in television shows and garnered awards. 'To the 250,000-strong Filipinos here in Qatar, we would love to see you all and thank you so much for what you do here in Qatar and for what you do, not only for your families back home but also all of us in the Philippines. I really do hope and pray that all of you here are doing well, healthy and strong, said Misalucha on her message to overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Qatar.

Known for her extraordinary ability to sing across genres such as pop, rock, jazz, soul, RnB and operatic arias, Misalucha is the first Asian to headline a main showroom in Las Vegas and has worked with many local and international artistes including Nievera.

The show is organised by Star Media Production, Doha City Event Management and the Global Police Community Relations (PCR) - programme of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in which Nievera and Misalucha have been appointed ambassadors.

General Rhodel Sermonia, Global PCR Director, said the programme launched nearly a year ago aims to be inclusive forging stronger relations with Filipinos abroad and partnerships with other agencies to promote Philippine tourism and investment.

'We want to tell our kababayans that PNP is not just protecting and serving the Filipino people in the Philippines but worldwide. We want them to know we are protecting their loved ones in the Philippines because we want them to work with peace of mind while away from their loved ones, stressed Sermonia. Sermonia said Nievera and Misalucha were chosen as ambassadors 'because they are world-class performers who can reach out to more Filipinos in any part of the world.
