VIBE delivered a nostalgic and energetic showcase last Saturday, highlighting classic OPM novelty songs and fresh performances from artists.
The opening number featured VIBE Jocks and GEN Vs performing iconic hits such as “Nakaka,” “In Or Out,” “Kikay,” “Miss Flawless,” and the legendary “Otso-otso”—with a surprise appearance by Bayani Agbayani.
Paulo shared a lighthearted story about how “Otso-otso” once earned him ₱20 after guards requested him to dance to the song.
The spotlight then turned to OG star Lito Camo, who performed “Kung Ikaw” and Willie Revillame’s “Buskan Mo.” Camo expressed excitement over his first VIBE stage appearance, stating:
“Maririnig niyo ang unang awitin ko kung bakit may mga Spaghetti, Otso-otso, at kung ano-ano pa, kung hindi dahil sa awiting ito, wala tayo sa music industry.”
He also teased a new collaboration with Bayani Agbayani.
The newest segment, VIBE SPOT, showcased The Dancing Riders Quadros—Limuel, Rhic, Ryan, and Yukii—with “Hawak Mo Ang Beat” and Limuel’s solo dance “Sumayaw Ka.” Falsetto Prince Jeff Cifra closed the segment with “Ipagpatawad Mo,” announcing his new cover single now available on streaming platforms.
In the Uprising Universe, independent singer-content creator Jun Sisa was named Top Uprising Star of the Week with his single “2nd Chance,” earning 41.41% of votes. He dedicated the track to loyal supporters.
The second OG star, Queen of Bossa Nova Sitti, performed “Para Sa Akin.” She reflected on the song’s unexpected success:
“Hindi ko talaga inaakala yan kasi nung nagbigyan ako ng recording contract to record a Bossa Nova album, sobrang saya ko alam mo yung hanggang dun lang ang iniisip ko and actually hindi ko rin iniisip na yung tatanggapin siya ng mga tao na hanggang ngayon, 20 years after kinakanta pa rin yung Para Sa Akin.”
For the Main VIBE, Kenaniah ranked Top 6 with “Huli Na Ba ang Lahat” but was unable to perform due to illness, sending a heartfelt video message instead.
Sam Concepcion returned to the stage at Top 3 with “Pakisabi Na Lang,” thanking his fans, while DWTA, the proud Bicolana, claimed the Top Spot with her cover of Leah Navarro’s “Ang Pag-Ibig Kong Ito.”
DWTA shared how her artistry reflects her Bicolano roots, saying she brought the spirit of Mt. Mayon to Manila through her music.
Closing the night, OG star Jerome Abalos performed “Larawang Kupas” with SOLABROS.COM.
He emphasized perseverance in music:
“So tuloy-tuloy lang. Kung naniniwala ka sa talento mo, paghasaain mo, everyday, hasain mo siya and then mamemeet up ang gusto mo. Sa awa ng diyos, andidito pa rin tayo.”
He also revealed the meaning behind SOLABROS.COM: “SOLABROS means Abalos Brothers na nireverse, and then yung dot COM ito na yung funny part dito, City Of Mandaluyong kasi puro taga-Mandaluyong.”
