Sila ang (Star) Magic ng buhay niyo!

MANILA, Philippines - The star power of ABS-CBN Star Magic was felt at its strongest in ASAP 2012 last July 8 as the premier star maker celebrated its 20th anniversary. It was the grandest reunion of stars — from Ang TV alums, Star Circle batch members and today’s hottest celebrities — that had everyone glued to their seats from start to finish and had made Star Magic trending worldwide on Twitter.

Everyone went down memory lane in the special opening number by Star Magic groups — The Hunks (Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo, Carlos Agassi and Jericho Rosales), Heartthrobs (John Lloyd Cruz, Sam Milby and Piolo), The Cover Boys (Zanjoe Marudo, Victor Basa, Rafael Rosell and Jake Cuenca), Teleserye Princes (Sam, Enchong Dee, Rayver Cruz, Xian Lim and Gerald Anderson), Ultimate Dancers (Shaina Magdayao, Rayver and Maja Salvador), Giggerboys (Enchong, Sam Concepcion, Robi Domingo, Arron Villaflor, Benjamin de Guzman and Enrique Gil) and the Animé (Rodjun Cruz, John Wayne Sace, Emman Abeleda, Sergio Garcia, Mico Aytona, Mhyco Aquino and Rayver). Songbirds Jan Marini, Lindsay Custodio, Dianne dela Fuente, Denise Laurel, Rica Peralejo, Kaye Abad and Nikki Gil to today’s chart-toppers, namely, Marcelito Pomoy, Bugoy Drilon, Liezel Garcia, Erik Santos, Jed Madela, Angeline Quinto, Nyoy Volante, Yeng Constantino and Jovit Baldivino.

The collective singing of Star Magic’s official theme song Ikaw Ang Magic ng Buhay Ko culminated the grandest celebration of the talent management’s 20 awesome years.

Special video messages from Marvin Agustin, Camille Prats, Luis Alandy, Bojo Molina, Carmen Soo, Tony Lambino, John Prats and Claudine Barretto were also highlights of the celebration. All have spread their wings to other opportunities and cited how their talents were nurtured by Star Magic.
