Holding the 10th-anniversary gala at the Music Museum adds a layer of showbiz history to the night. Founded in 1988 by the "Legendary Chanteuse" Kuh Ledesma, the venue has been the site of countless iconic OPM concerts and theatrical milestones.

With its intimate, "New York-style" theater vibe and 800-seat capacity, the Music Museum offers the perfect backdrop for a night that blends prestige with entertainment.

Beyond the trophies, the event remains rooted in service. Proceeds from the gala will support various charitable initiatives for children, the elderly, and underserved communities, continuing the organization's tradition of "uplifting stories of purpose."

Past events from the same organizers have seen a mix of Sparkle GMA Artist Center stars, pageant queens, and veteran actors. Fans can expect another star-studded guest list as the "Awards Guru" Richard Hiñola leads the 10th-anniversary festivities.
