MANILA, Philippines - It was Sarah Geronimo’s night last March 2 at Music Museum, where the MYX Music Awards was held. Sarah took home four trophies — for Favorite Artist, Favorite Remake (You Changed My Life), Favorite Media Soundtrack (Record Breaker) and Favorite Female Artist.
“Wag po kayong magagalit sa kin ha, nakakapanglambot. ‘Congratulations!‘” Sarah exclaimed, while mimicking April Gustilo’s signature cheer in Wowowee.
The Popsters, Sarah’s fans, came full force as they screamed and shrieked every time their idol’s name was called to receive her awards.
Rico Blanco, Gloc9 and Kyla took home two trophies each. Rico bagged the Favorite MYX Live Performance and Favorite Male Artist awards. Kyla was cited as the Viewers’ Choice for Favorite Mellow Video and Favorite Song while Gloc9 received trophies for Favorite Music Video and Favorite Urban Video.
The music channel conferred its MYX Magna Award to Jose Mari Chan, whose son, Francisco Rafael, accepted the recognition since his dad is on tour for shows at that time.
Jay-R, Kean Cipriano of Callalily, Yeng Constantino, Rachelle Ann Go, Jason Fernandez of Rivermaya, Richard Poon and Christian Bautista paid tribute to the singer-songwriter by performing his hits, like Tell Me Your Name and Beautiful Girl.
