The Philippines’ premier OPM music countdown, VIBE, marked Father’s Day with an emotional lineup of performances dedicated to hardworking dads.
The show opened with the VIBE Jocks and GEN Vs delivering an energetic rendition of “Superhero,” followed by a heartwarming segment where the hosts sang their own fathers’ favorite OPM classics.

The atmosphere turned deeply emotional as Ana Ramsey sang “You Are My Song” for Hernie Ramsey and Ryle Santiago performed “Kailangan Kita” for Chris Tan. Joao Constancia wrapped up the tribute on a high note with Bernardo Constancia Jr.’s favorite track, “Mga Kababayan.”
The parental celebration continued with the VIBE Spot featured artists, viral father-daughter duo Monica Bianca and Renie Boy, who performed Rey Valera’s “Tayong Dalawa.”
Reflecting on their bond, Monica Bianca shared a touching message for her dad:
“Sobrang proud po ako na ikaw yung naging papa ko and Salamat sa sacrifices mo sa amin. And sana po, ‘wag ka pong magsasawa na intindihin kaming magkakapatid.”
Renie Boy expressed his surprise and gratitude over their sudden online fame and the massive support they have received.
Meanwhile, the Uprising Star of the Week went to the rising P-Pop boy group NXTGEN, who secured the title with 50.73% of the votes and performed their latest track, “Kinikilig Ako Sa’Yo.” The group admitted feeling a mix of excitement and nerves while expressing their gratitude for the Uprising stage.
