The Awit Awards Best New Artist nominee turns an intimate wedding vow into a tender anthem for enduring love

Gab Cabangon continues to build momentum as one of the country’s most promising solo acts, recently earning a nomination for Best New Artist at the Awit Awards—the Philippines’ version of the Grammys. The nod comes as Cabangon expands his growing body of soulful, earnest guitar-pop music, using his platform to create anthems that capture the complexities, grey areas, and frustrations of being human.

Now, the Filipino singer-songwriter finds his groove back to love with his new single, “ngayon at kailanman,” which is his gift for his wife. The track was eventually performed as the surprise bridal march to his wedding, turning a private promise into a powerful musical statement that transcends its limits and becomes a romantic serenade every listener can call their own.

Serving both as a wedding vow and a love song, “ngayon at kailanman” speaks to the hope of finding a romantic relationship that endures amidst life’s uncertainties. Inspired by the serene simplicity of songs like Johnoy Danao’s “Ikaw at Ako,” Ebe Dancel’s “Cuida,” and TJ Monterde’s “Palagi,” the tune is dedicated to those yearning for a love that feels equally reassuring and enduring.

Through the release of the song, the folk-pop newcomer hopes that people can find a love that also helps them grow. “I want my listeners to feel like they are in a warm, tight embrace whenever they hear the song. I also hope my listeners learn through the song that love and relationships are never perfect. We are all people, and we all go through our own stumbles and challenges. But we try to choose each other even when things are difficult. Because I think we also become better individuals when we find love that is assuring and earnest.”

True to its core, the stripped-down tune is about the conscious choice to stay. Veering away from presenting the concept of romance as a perfect, absolute feeling, “ngayon at kailanman” recognizes the flaws and uncertainties that inevitably come with relationships and the value of choosing each other through them. It’s a warm embrace in song form.

The song’s intimacy played a pivotal role in the production process and overall sound. Cabangon and producer David Lina embraced a deliberate “less is more” approach, inspired by the vulnerable, soul-baring musicality of Joseph Solomon. The arrangement keeps the instrumentation understated, allowing the words to soar and speak for the material.

“I always imagined ngayon at kailanman as a wedding vow being done in a very private, intimate space, so I wanted to preserve that vision by keeping the production very simple with more emphasis on the lyrics,” he adds.

Originally not intended for a public release, much like his earlier song “Pieces,” the track eventually found its place within Cabangon’s highly anticipated EP. Its inclusion completes another piece of a larger narrative about learning to love again, whether after experiencing heartbreak, personal distance, indifference, or loss of something once deeply cherished.

Cabangon reveals, “The upcoming EP is really going to be about going through the process of falling out of love and finding our way back to the things that we were once passionate about. Based on the first couple of songs that my listeners have experienced, I think my audience can expect that introspective singer-songwriter feel that’s very common with a lot of the tracks.”

Following “Pieces,” “Kama,” and “Ikot Ulit,” the forthcoming EP continues Cabangon’s singer-songwriter journey, moving from falling out of love toward rediscovering passion, hope, and the courage to love once more, whether it’s about love, life, and everything in between. With “ngayon at kailanman,” he offers perhaps his most tender song yet: a simple promise that, amidst an uncertain world, choosing one another can still be an act of faith.

LOLO MARCELO: THE MAN BEHIND THE HERO, curated by Pax Pineda, offers a personal look at the sacrifices and humanity behind one of the Philippines’ foremost propagandists

Pax Pineda

At 17, Pax Pineda turns his personal connection to Philippine history into a public exploration of one of the country’s most influential propagandists.

Running from September 4 to October 17, 2026 at the 2F Lobby of Ayala Museum‘s Diorama Experience Gallery, LOLO MARCELO: THE MAN BEHIND THE HERO (Reflections on the Legacy of Marcelo H. Del Pilar) bridges the gap bridge the gap between history and personal heritage, transforming Del Pilar from a mere historical icon into a relatable figure whose spirit continues to inspire.

Pax & Bella Pineda, Great Great Great Grandchildren of Marcelo H. Del Pilar

Pax Pineda, the great-great-great-grandson of Marcelo H. Del Pilar collaborates with Ayala Museum and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines to present a collection of artifacts, letters, and artworks that examines not only Del Pilar’s contributions to the Propaganda Movement, but also the lesser-known truths behind his legacy.

Pineda frames the exhibit as an opportunity to see Del Pilar from a relatable lens: equally as a hero, a journalist, a lawyer, and a husband, a father, and a Filipino who made profound sacrifices for a cause larger than himself.

“I am very grateful to have this opportunity to tell, show, and share my Lolo Marcelo’s story the same week as what would have been his 176^th birth anniversary. Last month at NHCP’s HistoEx, Lolo Marcelo’s journey was also shown and discussed in an exhibit there and I’m so happy it was well attended. But I also want to share the other side felt by his family, and how their lives were marked by profound sacrifice. He left his family and his homeland in 1888 to escape persecution and continue his fight for justice in Madrid. He not only edited it, wrote for it, but also ended up financing La Solidaridad when funds dried up leaving him penniless. Yet, his legacy endures. His dedication to the cause of freedom, coupled with his roles as a devoted father and husband, humanizes his storied life.” Ayala Museum curator, Tenten Mina adds that MH Del Pilar is particularly interesting and relevant as we celebrate the Year of Diplomatic History and Diaspora during history month 2026. Mina adds, “he endured physical separation from family and loved ones for the sake of the greater good—a sacrifice many Filipinos still make today.”

Known by his pen name Plaridel, Marcelo H. Del Pilar was one of the leaders of the Propaganda Movement that fought for reform and equal rights for Filipinos during the twilight years of the Spanish Colonial Era. While his written works, Dasalan at Tocsohan and La Solidaridad are widely remembered by the public as his major contributions to our independence, the personal sacrifices of the propagandist to launch and sustain these efforts are less-known.

The exhibit also aims to shine a light on the more intimate dimension of Del Pilar’s life. Born in Bulacan, Del Pilar trained as a lawyer before becoming a journalist, writer, and reform advocate. He left the Philippines in 1888 amid persecution and continued his campaign for reforms in Spain. His commitment came at considerable personal cost, including prolonged separation from his family and financial hardship from personally supporting La Solidaridad. He died of tuberculosis in Barcelona in 1896, far from the country he sought to serve.

Ayala Museum Building Facade

“Ayala Museum is more than happy to collaborate with young individuals who would want to share these important stories of Filipino heritage with their peers. Projects such as this illustrate our deeply held belief at the museum that history and culture carry values relevant to each generation and that it is our job to provide a space for these conversations to happen,” shares Jorell Legaspi, Senior Director for Arts and Culture at Ayala Foundation.

Marcelo H. Del Pilar Shrine

The artifacts featured in the exhibition are on loan from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and transported from the Marcelo H. Del Pilar Shrine in Bulakan, Bulacan — a national shrine and museum dedicated to the Filipino propagandist, journalist, and lawyer. Ayala Museum and the NHCP have been long-time collaborators and partners in the promotion of a deeper understanding of the story of the Filipino nation. Aprille Tijam, Associate Director at Ayala Museum adds “we envision that this pocket exhibition will be the first of many more curatorial projects that seek to explore significant events and figures in Philippine history not featured within the Ayala Museum’s 60 Dioramas of Philippine history.”

His debut album brings together years of experimentation, personal experiences, and a cinematic sonic vision shaped by dance, R&B, and dream pop

Filipino singer-songwriter and producer Ace Banzuelo steps into his own artistic universe with Supernatural, his debut full-length album out today, August 21, 2026, via Sony Music Entertainment. Across nine tracks, the hitmaker delivers an intimate, cinematic body of work that traces stories of love, betrayal, longing, healing, and transcendence through a dreamy, otherworldly sonic palette.

True to its core, Supernatural explores love and life at the edge of fleeting innocence. Its title draws from the uncanny familiarity of meeting someone who feels entirely new yet somehow instantly recognizable: an experience Ace likens to a supernatural encounter. The album’s concept took years to develop, beginning eight years ago before its broader creative vision crystallized in 2024.

“I was going through a lot during that phase of my life,” Banzuelo explains. “I dealt with fame and personal things at the same time, which inspired the album’s emotional arc.”

Moving fluidly between dance, R&B, and dream pop, Supernatural reflects Ace’s instinct to experiment while remaining grounded in the sonic sensibilities that have defined his work. Rather than confining itself to a single genre, the album treats sound as a space for discovery.

“As a music producer, I get to explore, experiment, and play with anything I want,” he says. “I approached the album with what I know and what I am keen to explore sonically. I want my listeners to enter a high-definition, dreamlike state. I placed my personality, experiences, and taste throughout Supernatural, from the music to its visuals.”

The nine-track album opens with the title track and unfolds through “Girl, You’re On My Mind,” “Bighani,” “minsan,” “Kilala,” “hindi mo alam,” “hagkan,” “Mawala,” and the focus track “Sakin.” An R&B-leaning slow jam, “Sakin” reveals a more vulnerable side of Ace, framing itself as a confession to someone he never got the chance to see again.

The Muli act reveals, “Sakin remains one of my few love songs. Honestly, I want to put out more stuff like this in the future. I love R&B, and I have been experimenting with my sound ever since, and ‘Sakin’ became a raw entry point for this new sound I have developed.

Beyond being a highly anticipated debut, Supernatural offers a compelling look at Ace Banzuelo’s artistic journey by bringing together his past, present, and future self. As a songwriter, producer, and performer, he embraces complete creative authorship, from building sounds from scratch to helming the album’s arrangements, performances, and visual language.

In an era defined by short-form consumption, Supernatural makes a case for the concept record as an experience worth entering from beginning to end. More than an introduction, it is a glimpse into Ace Banzuelo’s inner world: deeply personal, deliberately constructed, and suggestive of a larger story still waiting to unfold.

2 Girl, You’re On My Mind
3 Bighani
4 minsan
5 Kilala
6 hindi mo alam

Indie rock artist Ligaya Escueta has officially evolved into a full-fledged band. During the record label signing with Offshore Music, the alternative quartet was introduced with Kristo Mercado on bass and guitar, Diego Cerrudo on guitar, Ninja Nicolas on drums, and Ligaya Escueta on vocals, bass, and guitar.

“It was a natural process,” opens Ligaya Escueta. “Because we are all good friends outside of the band. I think that translates into the music… It is really something collaborative, and we all have a big part in it.” 

Organic—that is how Escueta initially describes the formation of the band. The transition from solo artist to band is entirely expected, given the current course of the “Ligaya Escueta” artist identity.

“It didn’t feel much of a change because that’s already how it felt like. We already felt like a band before,” Cerrudo shares, noting how easily each member fell into place in terms of dynamics, influences, and sound synchronicities. “We were complete from the start,” he adds.

Following the shift to a more collaborative setting, the band says there will be inevitable changes in the creative process of music-making.

“We have to split responsibilities more, especially when it comes to songwriting,” Mercado admits. “In the off-going future, there will be a big ‘change,’ now that we are all hands on with future projects.”

On the other side of things, Artist & Repertoire (A&R) Manager, Dani Mendoza shared how natural this “debut” was for Ligaya Escueta and the label. “Honestly, the paper [contract] was for formality, but they have already been operating as a unit. We are happy to welcome them to the Offshore Music roster.”

Good news! Early bird tickets to Over October Live at the New Frontier Theater have officially sold out.

Strong demand has prompted organizers to move the regular ticket-selling schedule up to August 15, 2026, a week earlier than its supposed rollout.

With 80 percent of tickets already sold, the Ikot band expressed gratitude to the fans who have supported their biggest headline concert yet.

Over October Live at the New Frontier Theater will happen on October 4, 2026, serving as the band’s last show featuring the original five-member lineup.

Before their 2026 solo headline concert, the band has mounted two sold-out concerts at the Music Museum and the band’s successful 2025 anniversary show at the MOA Sky.

Tickets are available via TicketNet Online and participating outlet stores, with regular tickets available now.

Over October Live at the New Frontier Theater is presented by Over October, with GNN, Move It, and Swee Lee Philippines as partners.

The group expands its reach through cross-border collaborations, festival appearances, Japanese TV debut, and a high-profile performance with Kento Nakajima

SB19 also hints about the re-release of “Gento,” featuring Kento Nakajima

SB19 continues to turn its long-term ambition of becoming a global phenom into a growing reality, with a series of activities in Japan that have brought the P-Pop supergroup closer to one of Asia’s most important music markets.

The group’s recent activities in Japan span music collaborations, major festival stages, and landmark television appearances, further strengthening SB19’s strategy to reach international audiences.

SB19 recently debuted at SUMMER SONIC 2026, one of Japan’s biggest music festivals, performing in both Osaka and Tokyo. The appearance placed the acclaimed group alongside prominent international headliners and prominent local music stars, giving them an opportunity to represent Filipino artistry on a global scale.

For PABLO, performing at SUMMER SONIC means realizing a dream that once felt impossible and distant. “Performing in both Osaka and Tokyo is another milestone for us, and we’re incredibly grateful for the chance to introduce SB19 to Japanese audiences and connect with them. We have a wide range of songs and genres in our repertoire, so fans can expect an energetic and diverse set that showcases different sides of SB19. Most of all, we hope our performances will allow people to experience our music, feel our energy, and hopefully capture their hearts.”

In Tokyo, the multi-awarded Filipino supergroup shared the Pacific Stage lineup with artists including Kento Nakajima. The Tokyo performance also delivered one of the trip’s most talked-about moments when SB19 welcomed Nakajima onstage for a performance of their viral smash “GENTO.” The team-up brought two artists with a shared connection to the Philippines and Japan, creating a cross-cultural moment on the massive festival stage. The performance has ignited anticipation for an official release of a “GENTO” collaboration involving Kento Nakajima, adding excitement to SB19’s continued push into the Japanese music market.

“This time, I had the special opportunity to write part of the lyrics for this track,” Nakajima shares. “There was definitely pressure putting new lyrics on GENTO—such an important song for SB19—but the members kindly told me, ‘Just be yourself, as always,’ so I poured in everything that came to mind.”

Apart from the explosive festival performance, SB19 has also crossed a major bucket-list milestone with its live television debut in Japan on NTV’s DayDay on August 13.

According to JUSTIN, appearing on a major Japanese television program involves a different kind of preparation, coordination, and way of presenting themselves. “While we remain the same SB19 that people know in the Philippines, being welcomed into a Japanese television program is a huge milestone for us and something we are truly honored and grateful for.”

The TV stint enabled Japanese viewers to get to know the members beyond their music. During the morning program’s Dotti Dotti segment, the Filipino quintet performed their latest single “LAWLESS” in Japan for the first time, giving Japanese television audiences a direct introduction to SB19’s latest musical direction. The program also featured the members in a playful hammer-and-rock-paper-scissors-style game with host Ryota Yamasato, popularly known as Yama-chan.

The group’s recent activities in Japan mark another important transition in SB19’s new creative arc, showing how its plans to conquer various international markets are gradually translating into tangible opportunities.

JOSH explains, “Now, having these opportunities in Japan through our collaboration with top Japanese artists, performing at SUMMER SONIC, and appearing on Japanese television feels like an important step forward in that journey. We’re more than grateful to be able to share our music and connect with Japanese audiences while learning from every experience along the way. We hope this chapter will help us reach even more people around the world.”

With these developments coming to fruition, KEN is positive that SB19 will continue to build genuine connections with the Japanese audience. “We would love to have more performances, television appearances, and features in Japanese publications, but most importantly, we want to continue introducing our music and sharing who we are as SB19. We hope that more people will discover our songs and embrace us as artists.

The Japanese edition of SB19’s Wakas at Simula is now available at major record shops and online retailers in Japan under Sony Music Japan.

Independent Philippine-based music label Offshore Music adds budding soul and pop-inclined artist, Paco Pastor to its growing roster.

Heavily attuned to the soft and sensual nature of the soul music, Paco Pastor is a Manila-based artist who aspires to create his path in the industry with a genuine approach to his musicality and identity as a singer-songwriter, as well as a live performer.

“There are so many aspects to me as an artist that it really isn’t just one color,” explains the 19-year-old Pastor in an interview, seamlessly likening his artistic personality into colors. The singer also mentioned how female artists such as Sade, Nectar Woode and Olivia Dean have influenced his craft, allowing a more feminine persona to come to fruition in his current artistic endeavor as a way to celebrate these qualities in his path to being known as an artist.

In connection to being thankful to creative women, he also notes the involvement of his best friend, Alysha, encouraging the singer to embark on a career in music. “Being on stage or performing [was] never one of my dreams. But I always knew that I did love music, but performing up there? Not a chance… Until this [Alysha] girl came into my life.”

Moreover, Pastor shares how having supportive parents (who are also artists) is what really got him to pursue this journey head on and high. He recalls his mom saying, “If you didn’t make good music, we wouldn’t have let you go this path at all. Good thing you really are our child.”

Since then, Paco’s journey as an artist has been steadily building momentum, with the singer-songwriter embracing the act of performing live after making his debut appearance with a full band at one of the label’s self-produced gig nights. He also began jamming with seasoned musicians through his management team at Waddle House Manila and, in turn, was eventually signed under Ely Buendia’s music label. All of these developments happened in a span of this year alone.

“He was someone we wanted to develop and explore,” reveals Artist & Repertoire (A&R) Manager of Offshore Music, Dani Mendoza, in the label’s decision to sign Paco Pastor. “He [Paco] is his own producer, he is his own songwriter, his own performer. He is the full package in terms of his brand, performance and music. To Offshore Music’s very core, we have always been music first and champions of those [musicians] who need the support to put their music out there. It was easy to make that decision then and there.”

The fast-rising OPM outfit turns the restless cycle of overthinking into a genre-bending track fueled by funk, synths, and raw alternative rock

NEXTONE, one of OPM’s promising rising bands, makes a comeback with ““Nagkulang,” a fresh single that blends an upbeat groove with the emotional uncertainty of questioning one’s worth after a relationship falls apart.

Released through Sony Music Entertainment, the track carries crossover appeal through its distinctly late-night vibe, combining punchy beats, city pop elements, shimmering synths, and contemporary pop-rock sounds into a catchy, high-energy anthem.

The song’s concept began with the word itself. From there, the band developed a narrative centered on someone who, despite believing they did nothing wrong in a relationship, comes to terms with self-doubt in the wake of an unexpected romantic fallout.

Instead of treating heartbreak with a traditionally subdued or stripped-down approach, NEXTONE deliberately gives “Nagkulang” an energetic pulse. The contrast is central to the song’s appeal: its catchy melodies and driving production choices mirror the restless cycle of overthinking, while the repeated hook conveys the word that keeps playing inside the mind of the storyteller.

The eclectic quartet explains, “We really wanted the word ‘Nagkulang’ to feel like it was stuck in the listener’s head throughout the song. Because of that, we were intentional with how we approached the melody and production. The whole idea is about getting inside your head, questioning whether you did something wrong, and never really knowing the answer. That contrast between the catchy, almost light feeling of the song and the weight of what it’s actually about is what makes it feel a little crazy, almost like the song itself is driving you deeper into that overthinking.”

While the band has mostly explored guitar-driven arrangements in their previous work, “Nagkulang” enables the band members to experiment with funk, alternative pop, rock, new wave, and synth-heavy production. The songwriting process itself proved unusually instinctive. The chart-topping act completed the song’s structure and melody during the first session, before allowing the material to sit and eventually giving it a clearer sense of its potential.

“One of the most memorable parts of recording was working on the bass and guitar parts,” the band adds. “Those ended up being the more challenging elements because we didn’t want to overstuff the production, especially with the heavier synth parts already carrying a lot of the song.” The band ultimately opted for restraint, ensuring that each instrumental layer contributed to the song without overwhelming its central groove.

With “Nagkulang” marking a fresh creative direction for NEXTONE, the band sees the track as a stepping stone toward further growth in their upcoming releases. They shared that the song served as a mature turning point in their songwriting and production process, influencing the way they have approached the music they created afterward. The band also teased another release before the year ends, which they hope will offer a different sound from “Nagkulang” and serve as a fitting close to their musical journey this year.

NEXTONE’s “Nagkulang” is now available worldwide on all major digital music platforms through Sony Music Entertainment.

Her first independently written Filipino song finds beauty in vulnerability, uncertainty, and the courage to begin again

Following the chart-topping breakthrough of “Palayo sa Mundo,” which has recently crossed 70 million streams on Spotify alone, Filipino singer-songwriter Jolianne commences her new era in music with the release of “Daanan,” out today via Sony Music Entertainment.

Penned by Jolianne, “Daanan” conveys the experience of finding comfort in another person when you least expect it. Rather than portraying love as something immediate and perfectly formed, the song approaches it as a process that is built through small acts of vulnerability, familiarity, and right timing.

“Daanan is about falling in love for the first time and about having someone gently guide you through your firsts and learning, little by little, to let someone into your life,” the Cebu-born pop artist explains. “It’s about choosing to grow into love instead of rushing toward it and discovering yourself through the eyes of someone who sees you completely.”

The guitar-pop ballad is also about treating love as something “you slowly nurture and choose every day.” Jolianne adds, “Sometimes, you don’t know exactly where the road will lead—you just know that you want to keep walking, hand in hand with someone, until you find out together.”

For Jolianne, writing in Filipino meant deliberately stepping outside of her comfort zone. My comfort languages as a writer are English and Bisaya, so writing in Filipino felt like entering an entirely new space. It made me feel like a beginner all over again. Daanan challenged me to stretch beyond what I already knew, and I’m happy that I allowed myself to be a beginner again.”

That sense of discovery extends to the song’s creation. Jolianne initially recorded the melody as a voice note without chords or a beat, an unconventional starting point for her usual songwriting process. Produced by Luke April, the song gradually expands from a sparse, intimate opening into a fuller orchestral arrangement, mirroring its movement from uncertainty to surrender.

The accompanying music video, directed by Raliug and created with Lunchbox, brings the song’s central metaphor to life through dance. Jolianne plays someone learning to dance from an instructor she develops a crush on, with moments of awkwardness and hesitation reflecting the vulnerability of learning to let another person in.

“I really liked the idea of using dance because there’s something inherently vulnerable about letting another person teach you,” reveals Jolianne. “You have to be willing to look a little silly, make mistakes, and trust that they’ll catch you when you get the steps wrong. That became a visual metaphor for the love I’m talking about in the song: you don’t know what you’re doing at first, but you slowly become more comfortable with each other and learn the rhythm together.”

Jolianne’s “Daanan” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video on Jolianne’s official YouTube channel, which premieres on Aug 14, 2026 at 6:00 P.M.
