MAKATI: "LOVE IS IN THE AIR"

Celebrating the love month, February 14, 2013, MAKATI showcased gravity-defying aerial dance routines and soothed the senses of the city's denizens with songs from the country's top balladeers during its Love is in the Air, Valentine's concert. Performances made the hearts of the audience excited, consoled, and in love as production numbers trnasitioned from acrobatic aerial dance to pop, acoustic, witty, and broadway love songs. The concert was a testament to how MAKATI gives the people many reasons to fall in love with the city and in return, more and more people fall in love with MAKATI, the only city that makes it all happen.

Couples and hopeless romantics alike were in awe as Iya Villania opened the concert and performed stunning aerial acrobatics together with Power Dance. This was one of the show's highlights. Set against sentimental ballads and the AYALA TRIANGLE GARDENS as backdrop, this poetry-in-motion spectacle was a sight to behold.

There's no denying that love is pop music's favorite theme. As they say, no matter what kind of relationship you're in, there's bound to be a pop love song for you. Isabel de Leon showed the veracity of this as she serenaded the audience with her own vocal styling of pop love. 

Vincent Bueno, the Australian idol, joined Isabel in singing, Way back Into Love, while flying through the air. They satisfied everybody with their portrayal of love and its many melodic facets.

Isabela  Gonzales, daughter of Kuh Ledesma who is one of the country's best singers, highlighted the perfect marriage of musical and performance art with her acoustic rendition of love songs. Definitely everyone in the crowd felt a personal connection with the songs with the acoustic compliment bringing out the purity of music and love's strong emotion.

They say sense of humor is one of the secrets to a lasting relationship. Love is in the Air concert emphasized this as ladies swooned after hunks Chris Everingham, Eric Tai, and Andrew Wolff appeared on stage adding flair and fun to this romantic night. 

Ten pairs of lovers were invited on stage to do the "Gangnam Style" dance... From ten down to three pairs and couple number nine won the final competition.

Complete satisfaction is what MAKATI wants us to experience. So live, shop, eat only here in MAKATI!
