The first performer was Mr. Joey Ayala with his signature mix of Filipino ethnic instruments and pop music.
Everyone enjoys his short message and listen carefully with his songs while he sings.
Celebrating Independence Day on a mall is great, watching the performers that created name throughout the world makes me feel proud that I'm a Filipino. Reading all of the Ani ng Dangal side by side encourage me to be more determined to strive more harder to my dreams.
