"All My Life" Concert a huge hit; fans and supporters unfazed by Pen siege, heavy traffic jam

Unfazed by the siege of the Manila Peninsula in Makati City, and the almost incessant downpour that swelled the traffic in Edsa and many major thoroughfares in Metro Manila, supporters and fans of Kuya Daniel Razon stormed his major concert and album launch on November 30.

Also known as Mr. Public Service to viewers of his fast-rising Good Morning Kuya program at UNTV 37, Kuya Daniel's concert and album launch was surprisingly a rapturous and huge success, given the situation in the country at that time.

The event, however, has to be ended earlier than planned announced Kuya Daniel since the government imposed over the night a curfew for the whole of Metro Manila and provinces surrounding the Metropolitan area.

The concert aims, according to Kuya Daniel, to introduce his fellow hosts of the Good Morning Kuya (GMK) program. Given these, concert organizer brought the set and the hosts of GMK in the concert at the Meralco Theater, and even lighted up the night with a "Pondahan at the Concert."

Also, it hopes to raise funds for the continuance of the public service efforts by the program and UNTV 37. From as early as 4 am daily, GMK assists an average of 200 patients who seek medical support and assistance.

TV traffic reporter Aida Gonzales of ABS-CBN's Umagang Kay Ganda and a college buddy of Kuya Daniel Razon, with another GMK host, Lyn Perez emceed the night's concert.

Fellow veteran broadcasters Jay Sonza, Rene Jose, and Allan Encarnacion, each performed a song or two in between their rounds of "Pondahan" at the concert. The group performed songs by local and international music artists like Bread, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, James Taylor, Ogie Alcacid, Fred Panopio.

Kuya Daniel, however, performed and sang medleys of songs by Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid and Raymond Lauchengco.

Concerned about the newly imposed curfew and apologetically, Kuya Daniel informed the audience that while it was normal that his concerts end 1 am the following day, but unfortunately not this time. He was only able to sing the carrier song, "All My Life," before finally introducing the person whom he said has always been there to him and source of inspiration since his childhood years up to now, Bro. Eli Soriano, his uncle.

Singing before the audience via live video streaming, Bro. Eli first sang Elvis Presley's "Love Letters Straight from the Heart" and then gave her inspiring words of wisdom and advice for Kuya Daniel and the audience. He also bared his plans to better serve many people in need, especially the marginally poor and indigents through UNTV 37’s public service program and GMK.

Guests and other performers that night include popular band SugarFree, harpist Noelle Cassandra who played Josh Groban's You Raised Me Up, an original composition dedicated to her mother, My Strength and Regine Velasquez' "Kailangan ko'y Ikaw."

Frenchie Dy, a Star in a Million Talent Search 2nd runner up, who sang Bette Midler's Wind Beneath My Wings, Angela Bofill medley of songs like Break it to me Gently, This time I will be Sweeter, etc.; and, Koreanovela's Theme Song Queen Faith Cuneta serenaded the audience with songs like Minsan Pa, Sharon Cuneta medley and her original songs, are the other highlights of the night.

Other UNTV Kasangbahay who graced the night was Candace Giron of UNTV's Ito ang Balita daily nightly newscast, Niña Taduran of the GMK's traffic report, Ryan Ramos, and more.

Breakthrough and Milestone Productions, International with EMI Music Philippines released the "All My Life" album, and is now being sold in major music stores across the country. Tracks include several famous songs like Out Here on My Own, What Matters Most and Just the Way You Are, among others. Original compositions by the concert's musical director Krist Melecio are also added in the album.
