Other options are being eyed for this year’s MassKara Festival music, Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo “Albee” Benitez said Tuesday, September 5
There are other songs being considered, there will be more than one, he said.
“Sinadya sa Bacolod” that was presented by the Bacolod Yuhum Foundation as this year’s MassKara song drew criticism from netizens for failing to capture the upbeat spirit of the festival.
It was created by musical director and arranger Marvin Querido of Neocolours, and performed by singer and actor Kyle Echarri, artist and social media influencer Janeena Chan and actor, singer, host and model Anthony Rosaldo.
Meanwhile, Benitez said there is a standing invitation for President Ferdinand Marcos and his family to join the MassKara Festival.
Rep. Sandro Marcos (Ilocos Norte, 1st District) has begged off because he has to be in Ilocos for the barangay elections, Benitez said.*
