C set the stage for an unforgettable serenadeWhat happens when you put Ogie Alcasid, Louie Ocampo and Ryan Cayabyab on one stage? You get a once-in-a-lifetime Valentine's concert that's bound to carve its place in OPM history. Titled 'OAC: Original and Absolute Classics' and set for February 13 at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort North, this isn't just another star-studded show — it's a grand serenade by three of the biggest names in the industry. And if their banter is anything like it was during the media con, audiences are in for a night of pure musical magic and mischief in staccato.How did this genius idea all come together? Divine intervention, if you ask Ogie — multi-awarded singer-songwriter, hitmaker and arguably the most earnest pillar of OPM today. Apparently, he had a lightbulb moment while brainstorming with Solaire. 'We were thinking about what concept we could come up with for this season; we were the ones who put on a show last year as well. Then I said, 'Why don't we bring in Mr. C, Louie and perhaps myself for Valentine's?'' he recounts. Mr. C, of course, being none other than National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab and Louie Ocampo, the prolific composer who dominated the OPM ballad scene in the 1980s and 1990s with the most timeless hits.'Solaire said, 'It's a great idea!' I mean... it's like the Lord nudged me to do this, so thank you, Lord, for making it happen,' Ogie adds, still in awe of his luck. 'For me, it's a wonderful opportunity. A great honor to be with these two gentlemen who have contributed so much to the Philippine music scene. Looking at them, they're like the Mozart and Chopin of OPM — serious musicians but down-to-earth and very giving.'Believe it or not, despite decades of working in the same circles, this powerhouse trio has never performed together in one production before. 'I've always performed with Mr. C in concerts, and with Louie too. But the three of us together — this is the first time,' Ogie shares, still pinching himself.Louie, always the composed and straight-talking musician, is just as excited. 'With Ogie, there's never a dull moment because he's got this quirky side. His energy is really something else!' he says with a chuckle. 'But at the same time, iba yung puso niya (his heart is something else). He's so generous in sharing his gift, his knowledge. Just being around him, you learn so much — about the stories he makes and the songs he writes.'Mr. C, the ultimate maestro, has nothing but admiration for his co-headliner. 'Si O, I always look forward to working with him. Even if I'm the musical director, I keep watching him because he's just so entertaining,' he beams. 'And I told him that to his face. I said, 'You know, you're not just a performer — you have that charm, that very natural, diplomatic persona.''As for the music — the undeniable centerpiece of the evening — audiences can expect an evening of heart-melting love songs, timeless anthems, and a few surprises. Granted that it isn't usual for Valentine's concerts to have an all-male headliner, Louie stepped in to set the scene: 'Just imagine the three of us serenading you.'Now that's a Valentine's treat for the books.'This is really a concert that celebrates the music that has touched hearts for decades,' Ogie shares. 'We have guests coming in, and some of our songs will be performed in different versions, including those originally sung by women in my key.'The evening will, of course, showcase the original and absolute classics from all three icons — Ogie's unforgettable hits like 'Nandito Ako' and 'Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang,' Louie's timeless compositions such as 'Tell Me' and 'Ikaw,' and Ryan Cayabyab's masterpieces, including 'Araw Gabi' and 'Ulan.' New and fresh arrangements of these classics by the OGs themselves will remind audiences why these songs have stood the test of time.But while Ogie will be doing most of the singing, don't expect Louie and Mr. C to sit quietly behind their pianos. 'Maybe we'll sing a line or two from the songs,' Mr. C conceded briefly before quickly clarifying, 'But this is really an Ogie showcase, so don't expect us to be the singers that we're not.'Beyond their brilliant music, what truly binds these three together is something even more sentimental. Ogie shares it in this story: 'I had an epiphany. I had just come from Australia to pay respects to a relative who passed away, but at the same time, we found a venue for my daughter's wedding. 'And just recently, I attended Louie's daughter's weddin
