Manila, Philippines—Deca Homes and 8990 Holdings, Inc. homeowners and family of friends and supporters, together with online property search portal PropertyAsia.ph, flocked to the Mall of Asia Arena, Mall of Asia, in Pasay City last Friday, October 7, for their free event titled “Future Perfect,” featuring electrifying performances from millennial pop artist Sam Concepcion and legendary singer-songwriter Gary Valenciano.

Valenciano, an iconic Filipino artist, is also known as Gary V or Mr. Pure Energy. He started his music career as a young choir singer before entering mainstream show business.  He has already produced at least 26 albums, three of them were released internationally.  He is best known for his hit songs “Di Bale Na Lang,” “Kailangan Kita,” “Babalik ka Rin,” and “Hataw Na.”

Concepcion, on the other hand, is a prodigious actor and singer. Some people say he is the next Gary V because of his electrifying energy on stage.  Concepcion began his music career when he won on ABS-CBN’s reality TV singing competition “Little Big Star”-Big Division. He, later on, sang the theme song of Dreamworks’ animated movie “Kung Fu Panda.” He was the first Filipino artist to collaborate with Dreamworks on a release of a movie soundtrack album in Asia.  He is notable for the songs “Dati,” “Forever Young,” and “Kalsada.”

Jesus B. Atencio, 8990 Holdings president, CEO, and director said, “We didn’t scrimp on the production values of this concert.  We’re holding this event to celebrate with all our homeowners and future homeowners, and various industry partners for supporting us over the last 13 years.”

“The mass housing projects of Deca Homes and 8990 Holdings, such as Deca Clark Resorts and Residences, Deca Homes Mactan, and Deca Homes Resort and Residences Davao, are mostly located regionally.  However, starting this year and next year, we’re bringing our very affordable, quality projects to the National Capital Region (NCR),” he added.

Deca Homes and 8990 Holdings’ “Future Perfect” event was line produced by Manila Genesis Entertainment, directed by Paolo Valenciano.  Besides Concepcion and Valenciano, the concert has also featured Kiana Valenciano, DJ Tom Taus, Katrina Velarde, and The Manoeuvres, and emcees Justin Quirino and Nicole Asensio.
