Ateneo de Manila University Junior High School’s Class 10-Rodrigues is set to host ‘HORIZON – A Fundraising Concert for Hope’ on April 5, 2025, at the Ateneo de Manila University Covered Courts.
The event, part of the Katipunan Fund Drive (KFD), aims to support disaster relief efforts, Jesuit missions, and underprivileged schools by raising funds through music and entertainment.
The concert features an impressive lineup of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) artists, including singer-songwriter Adie, rising rock band Sunkissed Lola, and P-Pop girl group Calista.
Adie: The singer behind viral hits such as ‘Paraluman’, ‘Tahanan’, and ‘Mahika’, Adie has established himself as one of the most promising artists under O/C Records. His debut album Senaryo has been a massive success, and he continues to captivate audiences with his soulful sound.
Sunkissed Lola: The OPM band behind the smash hit ‘Pasilyo’ will also take the stage. The group, composed of Dan Ombao, Alvin Serito, Laura Lacbain, Danj Quimson, Genson Viloria, and Rodnie Resos, has rapidly gained popularity for its unique blend of heartfelt lyrics and engaging melodies.
Calista: Adding a vibrant pop element to the show is Calista, a four-member girl group under Merlion Events Production. Consisting of Anne, Dain, Elle, and Denise, Calista debuted in 2022 with their single ‘Race Car’ and recently released their EP ‘FOUR,’ featuring their main track ‘Alas Dose.’
During the media launch, Calista’s Anne expressed their excitement about performing for a meaningful cause.
“We believe that 2025 is the year of OPM, and with the rise of P-Pop, we can strengthen and promote OPM not just in the Philippines but also internationally. We’re grateful to the students behind this event for giving us the opportunity to be part of such an inspiring initiative,” she said.
According to Ryan Nicolas Jr., CEO of Class 10-Rodrigues, the event is a collective effort to help communities in need.
“This concert symbolizes hope and unity. Everything we earn from ticket sales and donations will contribute to helping people affected by calamities, supporting Jesuit missions, and funding education initiatives. Music has the power to bring people together, and we want to use that power for something meaningful,” Nicolas shared.
In 2024, the Katipunan Fund Drive helped typhoon victims in Rizal and Bulacan and supported outreach programs for marginalized communities.
“The KFD has partner beneficiaries, including families in Boso-Boso, Antipolo, and Sapang Palay, Bulacan. Our goal is to continue providing assistance to those who need it most,” Nicolas added.
Regular Admission: ₱750
VIP Ticket (includes Meet & Greet with Artists): ₱1,000
