The vibe was LEGIT—electrifying, unforgettable, and nothing short of historic.
Last night, the biggest and most exciting OPM celebration of the year took center stage as the 38th Awit Awards powered by VIBE lit up the Meralco Theater.
The evening began with the highly anticipated PURPLE CARPET, where OPM stars, VIBE JOCKS, and GEN Vs graced the spotlight with stunning ensembles and all-out glam.
Among the artists spotted were Hey June, Over October, Zelle, Letter Day Story, Rob Deniel, Amiel Sol, Sam Concepcion, Sing Galing’s Nina, Randy Santiago and Donita Nose, Lolita Carbon, SITTI, and many more.
Later in the program, fan-favorite P-Pop groups BINI and BGYO also made their grand arrival.
GEN Vs Niko, Adam, Carmela, Gab, Selina, and Mark Ian confidently walked the carpet, while VIBE JOCKS Ana, Queenay, Maxie, Paulo, Ryle, Dylan, Joao, Elijah, and Kych captivated with their standout looks.
Top executives were also in attendance, including TV5 President and CEO Guido Zaballero, MediaQuest Holdings Inc. President and CEO Jane Basas, and MVP Group Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan.
As the Main Awards began, the energy surged when the entire VIBE family opened the program with “Tatsulok,” setting the tone for a night of powerful performances. Dulce, Sheryn Regis, and Gen V Carmela followed with a moving tribute segment.
The AWITxVIBE stage was nonstop electricity as some of the country’s most beloved artists delivered unforgettable numbers—Lola Amour’s Namimiss Kita, Ben&Ben’s Saranggola, Janine Berdin’s ANTOXIC, Dionela’s OKSIHINA, Rob Deniel’s RomCom, Regine Velasquez’s You Are My Song, Hey June’s LASIK, BINI’s Salamin, Salamin, and Lolita Carbon’s Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran.
