Dubbed Rico J. Puno The Total Entertainer on a National Tour, the concert tour has been to Casino Filipino branches in Bacolod, Angeles and Davao. Tonight, it will be at Casino Filipino Tagaytay, followed by Cebu on Sept. 14, Olongapo on Sept. 19 and Casino Filipino Pavilion on Sept. 28.

Hailed as the Philippine music industry’s Total Entertainer, Rico has been in the local entertainment front for more than three decades now. The veteran performer is also known for his funny antics during live performances.

“Those who followed me on television probably thought that they’ve already seen the best of Rico J. Well, they’ll be surprised to know that I still have so much to give when I perform live. My upcoming concert tour in the different Casino Filipino branches nationwide promises no less than great fun and entertainment and I’m sure, may maiiwang ngiti sa kanilang mga labi hanggang sa kanilang pagtulog,” he said.

Rico is a favorite performer of casino guests having done numerous successful gigs in various Casino Filipino branches. His wacky onstage performance is such a hit that he has always been a crowd drawer in his Casino Filipino shows.

“Casino Filipino is like a second home to me. Maraming beses na akong nakapag-show sa iba’t ibang branches and each time, I made sure that I had something new to offer to casino guests. Mas marami pa kaming nakahandang sorpresa para sa kanila dito sa aking national tour,” Rico shared.

The original Mr. Suave gained cult status among local music lovers following hit songs that included Kapalaran, Buhat, Macho Gwapito, Lupa, Damdamin, May Bukas Pa, Ang Tao’y Marupok, Magkasuyo Buong Gabi and his Filipino rendition of You Don’t Have to Be a Star (to Be in My Show).

An Entertainer of the Year awardee, Rico’s performance tours during the ’70s both here and abroad broke records in terms of audience attendance. He has staged successful concert tours in the US, Canada, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and Europe.
