Piolo Pascual, Sam Milby and Pokwang to Perform at Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom

Two of the hottest Philippine heartthrobs and one spicy comedian heat up the Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on April 13, 2007. Superstar hunks Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby teaming up with popular funnywoman Pokwang to regale the Big Apple with a two- hour show of song, dance and laughter.When it comes to entertainment, this trio delivers with panache.

Well loved by advertisers, Piolo Pascual is one of the most bankable endorsers of Filipino products. His face is a familiar sight in TV, print, and non traditional advertisements throughout the Philippines. As one of the most recognizable multitalented icons of Philippine entertainment, Piolo has gained local and international acclaim for his films and concerts. Rising rapidly in a successful career spanning a over decade of television, film, and concert performances, Piolo has won the adulation and hearts of millions of fans worldwide from his stunningly good looks, astounding vocal talent, and Hollywood-caliber acting. A veteran of films as diverse as the internationally acclaimed "Lagarista" ("The Film Biker") to the romantic "Don't Give up on Us", Piolo sets the bar when it comes to acting in Philippine Cinema. Piolo's recording career gained momentum as a member of the singing group "The Hunks". Moving on to solo recording, his hit album "My Gift", led to a major concert at the Araneta Coliseum that clinched his status as a solo recording artist.

Coming from a Filipino-American background, Sam Milby brings the best of both worlds wherever he performs. This former competitive ice skater from Ohio shot to fame in the Philippine version of "Big Brother", where, in a lucky turn of fate (for both Sam and his adoring fans) he was chosen to replace a contestant who had to leave the show for personal reasons. During his stint as a "housemate", he won the hearts of many through his Fil-Am charm and his down-to-earth demeanor; what really struck home though, was his rendition of a self-composed song performed in duet with fellow housemate Say Alonzo. This simple acoustic performance in the Big Brother house established Sam as a talented recording artist. Today, Sam is a celebrated entertainer appearing in several feature films, concerts and, like Piolo, is one of the most sought after product endorsers in the Philippines.

A clever, gifted comedian with an impeccable sense of timing that never fails to elicit peals of laughter, Pokwang is one of the fastest rising comics in Philippine entertainment. She has acted alongside some of the industry's biggest names in film. She recently starred in the remake of Agent X-44 alongside fellow comedian Vhong Navarro. Pokwang is currently one of the most visible stars in Philippine television, appearing in comedy legend Dolphy's "Quizon Avenue" and the sitcom "Aalog-Alog".

The New York concert is produced by Special Edition Press, Inc. (SEP) headed by Nanding and Mila Mendez. SEP is committed to continue its mission to provide excellent entertainment to Filipinos in the United States. From its years of successfully producing concerts in the East Coast, SEP has developed an impeccable knack for finding the right blend of entertainers and venues that result in memorable crowd-drawing spectacles.
