Outbox Media Powerhouse Corp. (OBM) marked another milestone with the resounding success of "Thrive: A Symphony of Thriving Stories," held at Metrotent, Pasig City last Sept. 26.

Drawing a full-capacity crowd, the concert successfully raised over P3.5 million, which was turned over to the Cancer and Hematology Center of the Philippine Children’s Medical Center. 

This concert is a testament and a celebration of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September.

Days before the concert, Mr. Anthony “Ka Tunying” Taberna, together with his wife, Mrs. Rossel Velasco Taberna, also known as “Mrs. T; Xtrapreneur” and their eldest daughter, Zoey Taberna, who is also a leukemia survivor, presented the donations to the doctors of PCMC. They hope these contributions will support the diagnostics, pain relief, health, and nutrition of young cancer patients.

During the Thrive event, the stage was graced with remarkable and surprisingly funny performances from Ogie Alcasid, while his duet with Lani Misalucha enthralled the audience. Julie Ann San Jose and Darren Espanto also electrified the stage, each receiving overwhelming applause. 

Acapellago opened the night with an empowering lineup of songs with their mesmerizing vocal talents. Audiences were moved and united by the message of hope, resilience, and community support.

A memorable highlight of the night is the touching and heart-warming performance and message from Zoey and Helga Taberna who served as the inspiration for the concert following Zoey’s battle against cancer and Helga being her donor during her sister’s journey. 

OBM presented this concert as a showcase of their capabilities as an events and multimedia company. The concert was met with enthusiastic responses from attendees, who appreciated the deeper insight into OBM’s creativity and accomplishments.

Everyone left the event with hearts full of hope, spirits lifted, and their stomachs full from the special five-course plated dinner catered by Taste of The Town. 

Guests were overwhelmed with gratitude to be a part of this advocacy. As OBM faces the following years for the events and multimedia industry, we invite you to join us in making a difference at our next benefit concert.
