Continuing the tradition of fairness and credibility established in previous VP Choice Awards, this year’s winners are chosen through a dual scoring system. The final results are based on the combined power of Pipol’s online votes—giving the general public a chance to support their favorites—and the critical input of industry experts who bring their professional insight into the decision-making process.

Ben&Ben Reconnects with Ed Sheeran at Off Limits Festival in Abu Dhabi Ahead of His New Single Release

Filipino award-winning band Ben&Ben shared another heartwarming moment with global superstar Ed Sheeran at the recently concluded OFFLIMITS Music Festival in Abu Dhabi. 

“We felt the luckiest to be able to meet Ed Sheeran again in Off Limits Festival, Abu Dhabi. What constantly blows us away more than his generational talent and sheer musicality is the genuine, warm connection he makes with everyone he meets, including us.

He recalled how lovely it was for him to be able to perform for Filipinos. He also remembered us from when we met him here in Manila, which is very cool. It’s an honor to have been able to exchange stories with him again. We wish Ed all the best with his new album, Play!” – Paolo Guico, Ben&Ben

The band shared a lighthearted moment, revealing, “Mabango siya [Ed smelled good].” Their admiration for Ed’s effortless charm and presence was evident, with the band members recalling how his natural charisma and positive energy filled the room.

Ben&Ben graced the stage alongside international acts such as Ed Sheeran, Kaiser Chiefs, and OneRepublic at Etihad Park on April 26th. Adding to the memorable experience, the nine-piece band and Ed Sheeran were captured in a friendly photo together backstage.

Prior to the festival, the band posted a captivating cover of Ed Sheeran’s recent release “Azizam,” which garnered significant attention. Ed Sheeran himself acknowledged the cover by sharing it on his Instagram story, leading many of his dedicated fans to discover and express their admiration for Ben&Ben’s musical talent on their social media pages.

This recent encounter in Abu Dhabi marks another special connection between the Filipino band and the British singer-songwriter. On March 9, 2024, Ben&Ben had the distinct honor of performing as a special guest during Ed Sheeran’s “+ – = ÷ x Tour” at the SMDC Festival Grounds in the Philippines.

Recalling the cherished moments from their previous meeting, Ben&Ben took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a concise yet impactful summary:

“1. We met Ed Sheeran.
2. We did Karaoke with him.
3. We performed on his iconic round stage.
4. Our frontmen performed our song, Maybe The Night WITH Ed Sheeran and his amazing band.”

Ed Sheeran has kicked off an exciting new era with the release of his latest single, “Old Phone,” which dropped on May 1. He first teased the emotional track with a live snippet shared on Instagram, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Now available on all major streaming platforms—including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music—the song sets the tone for what promises to be a bold new chapter.

That chapter continues with his upcoming album, Play, arriving on September 12, 2025. Moving on from his Mathematics series, Sheeran explores fresh creative ground, weaving together global influences—from Indian and Persian sounds to the Irish folk traditions of his roots—while staying true to the acoustic and lyrical style fans love. Written and recorded across the globe and finished in Goa, Play is as much about emotional healing as it is about rediscovering joy through music.

ED SHEERAN ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ‘PLAY’RELEASED ON 12TH SEPTEMBER 2025

Ed Sheeran has announced that his new album ‘Play’ will be released on 12th September 2025. (Pre-order here).  To mark the occasion he has released a new single ‘Old Phone’  (listen here). 

After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025.   An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran’s latest album, ‘Play’  finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists. Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures—and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies—he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge.  On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and the new, creating a bold, pop-driven sound that only Ed Sheeran could deliver — a vibrant showcase of his artistry that feels both exciting and transformative, and promises to be one of the defining albums of the year.

Ed said…”Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring. I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life. It’s a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father. Going into this album campaign I said to myself ‘I just want everything I do to be fun and playful’ – so that’s why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top buses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars. The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic. You can preorder play now, many many more playful things to come before it’s out x”

After the release of his global, hedonistic, technicolor pop hit ’Azizam’, Sheeran gets nostalgic on his brand new single ‘Old Phone’, narrating the disorienting act of reconnecting with his past. Powering up an old phone unused since 2015, he unearths messages from a lost friend, an argument with an ex, and distant family, highlighting how time and separation reshape identity. Blending nostalgic acoustic melodies with raw emotion, the song recalls Ed’s early songwriting roots while exploring growth and memory, capturing an artist that is shaped and transformed by his past   ‘Old Phone’ has been produced by Blake Slatkin & Ilya Salmanzadeh

A Commitment to Greener Environment: Sharp Philippines Planted 450 Narra Trees in Mt. Makiling

On October 19, 2024, Sharp Philippines Corporation successfully planted 450 Narra trees in the stunning surroundings of Mt. Makiling in Sto Tomas, Batangas, as part of its tree planting initiative titled “Be Sharp, Plant a Tree for a Greener Future.” This initiative aligned with Sharp’s Eco Vision 2050, which reflects the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. This vision aims to be one with the community by minimizing the environmental impact of different business activities.

The “Be Sharp, Plant a Tree for a Greener Future” initiative focused on planting trees to improve air quality, provide habitat for various species, mitigate the effects of climate change, and contribute to the achievement of a greener and healthier earth. Sharp Philippines partnered with Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation, Inc. (ASSIST) to successfully plant Narra trees, which are known as the Philippine National Tree and also play a very important role in the environment. 

A total of 30 Sharp employees from different departments volunteered for the activity, including Ms. Marlene Villarino, the Assistant Vice President for Marketing, and the Senior Manager, Ms. Amor Golifardo. Their participation highlighted the company’s corporate social responsibility and commitment, which is to make a positive impact on the environment.Sharp volunteers received an orientation, briefing, and training from the partner organization and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on the importance of this initiative and the proper tree planting process, ensuring that it would thrive. The activity built good teamwork and community spirit among volunteers, who worked together to achieve a common goal.

M2M – The Better Endings Tour 2025 – Coming To Manila on May 2025

Breaking News – After 25 years, the beloved Norwegian pop duo M2M is reuniting for their first-ever headlining tour, and it kicks off in Asia. MANILA will be on May 1, 2025 at the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets will go on-sale on Saturday, October 26 at 12PM via TicketNet.com.ph and TicketNet outlets nationwide. Presented by Wilbros Live.

Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn, who shot to international fame in the early 2000s, are returning to the stage to celebrate their legacy. 

“It was never a question of where we’d start our tour if we ever reunited – Asia was always the first choice. Some of our best memories are from there.”

says Marion Ravn.

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of M2M’s best-selling album «Shades of Purple”, and the fans of the duo have continued to listen to their music and begged for a reunion for a long time. Following their split in 2002, both Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn pursued successful solo careers, but the duo never performed together again – until now.

On September 22nd (twenty-five after nine) Marit and Marion’s followers were sent into a frenzy when M2M posted a video of themselves singing a snippet of their most-streamed hit, “The Day You Went Away“. The clip went viral, racking up millions of views within hours, as fans flooded the comments with tour requests. And now, it’s finally happening.

“The Better Endings Tour” is the beginning of a new chapter for M2M, and it brings them back to Asia. Despite spending nearly a decade together, travelling all over the world and selling over 12 million albums worldwide, M2M never embarked on their own headlining tour. 

“We’re finally getting to do what we always dreamed of. “I can’t wait to get back on stage playing music with Marit again”,

says Marion.

“Making “Shades of Purple” changed our lives forever, and playing these songs together again, in the same room, while rediscovering both our music and our friendship at the same time, is a particular kind of magic. It feels powerful, like a celebration,

Marit says.

“Let’s give this story a better ending. The ending it deserves. We truly can’t wait to see you (again).”
