Live AIDS Silver: The UP Centennial Edition


Live AIDS, Ang Istoryang Dinebelop ng SAMASKOM, is an annual musical-comedy series mounted by UP SAMASKOM, a student organization based in the UP College of Mass Communication. What started as a mere applicants’ batch project back in 1983 is now one of the most awaited events in the Diliman republic. This year, with the full backing of the UP Centennial Commission, Live AIDS, billed as “Live AIDS Silver: The UP Centennial Edition”, is touted to be the grandest and most spectacular version of the yearly extravaganza.


Each year, Live AIDS has never failed to surpass the previous record number of fans who trooped to its staging venues on all performances. Come November 28, 29, and 30, 2008 Live AIDS is set to break its own record of audience size as it conquers the gargantuan 2000-seater University of the Philippines Theater.


As the yearly production reaches a significant milestone – that of being in existence for one quarter of UP’s 100 years of excellent history – resident and alumni members of UP SAMASKOM will be in full force for this year’s Live AIDS Silver: The UP Centennial Edition. If only for the huge roster of well-known personalities it has produced, with the likes of TV/movie directors Lauren “Pinoy Big Brother” Dyogi, Jerry Lopez Sineneng, and Jeffrey Jeturian, prima ballerina Melanie Motus, broadcasters Tina Panganiban-Perez and “Kuya” Kim Atienza, singers Raymond Lauchengco, Miro Valera (Stonefree), Kris Gorra (Cambio) and Wency Cornejo, and top humorists Tuesday Vargas, Rene Boy “Ate Glow” Facunla, and RS (M Butterfly) Francisco and Giselle Sanchez, Live AIDS Silver is certainly posed to give a grand treat to its fans.


This early, the temperature of anticipation for Live AIDS Silver has begun to inch to fever-pitch. And as anybody who has seen Live AIDS could attest, its unique glint of hilarious wit through its comedic sketches and monologues and awe-inspiring high-energy production numbers are truly one for the books.


Ned Legaspi, an illustrious alumnus of UP SAMASKOM and the Philippines’ top director for intelligent comedy, helms LIVE AIDS SILVER: THE UP CENTENNIAL EDITION.

UP SAMASKOM Donates Live AIDS Proceeds to College

November 22, 2006

UP Samahan ng mga Mag-aaral sa Komunikasyon (SAMASKOM), the force behind the famed Live A.I.D.S. will stage this year’s show for the benefit of the UP College of Mass Communication.

 

 

Live A.I.D.S., an annual comedy variety show, began as a simple fund raising project in the ‘80s and is now bloomed to a much-awaited event within and outside the UP campus. With a solid following among academic and professional communities, Live A.I.D.S. is famous not only for its standing-room-only performances but also for the big names it has produced in both the entertainment and corporate world.

 

 

Now on its 23rd year of unparalleled comedy, the show is showcasing its crème of the crop for a special mission—to raise money to help the UP CMC Foundation’s infrastructure and research development programs.  This year’s show, entitled the LIVE A.I.D.S. MONOLOGUES, will surely be a hit with SAMASKOMers Wency Cornejo in charge of music, prima ballerina Melanie Motus to work on the choreography, a talented bunch of comedians to join Giselle Sanchez and Tuesday Vargas in the “laugh department,” and hotshot ABS-CBN Global executive Ned Legaspi as the director.

 

 

Sit back, relax, have fun on February 2, 3, and 4 at the Abelardo Auditorium in UP Diliman for THE LIVE A.I.D.S. MONOLOGUES and join the SAMASKOMers in their noble cause, which ironically, is anything but a laughing matter.

 

 

Tickets are available at all TicketNet outlets. For inquiries and reservations, please call 9115555 or visit www.ticketnet.com.ph.  Bulk buyers may contact Janyll at 09209546204 for discounts.

Pay It 4ward: UP SAMASKOM Honors UP CMC

November 20, 2006
UP SAMASKOM, now on its 32nd year of victorious existence in the university, honors the UP College of Mass Communication by staging the 23rd offering of the acclaimed LIVE A.I.D.S. series. The idea is to fund the much-needed projects for the college such as improvements on infrastructure, acquisition of state of the art facilities, support for Gawad Plaridel along with research and publication, among many other goal posts to maintain the academic excellence UP CMC has been continually known for.


PAY IT 4WARD is a major fund-raising campaign under the auspices of the UP CMC Foundation, Inc. The campaign was initiated by the alumni and faculty members who share the concern that the quality of communication and media education maybe adversely affected if the state university’s budgetary constrictions continue.


UP SAMASKOM pay
s it forward through LIVE AIDS 23: THE LIVE AIDS MONOLOGUES.

After 22 knockout presentations, SAMASKOM is once again outdoing itself by coming up with an exciting new format for the show – a total revamp of what its followers know Live A.I.D.S. to be.

Of course, the show’s vibrant spirit and comic vision all remain intact but, with alumnus and comebacking director Ned Legaspi (now working as ABS-CBN’s Global Unit) at the helm, this is going to be one magnificently hilarious extravaganza!

Get your tickets early for the season’s biggest comedy show: Live A.I.D.S. 23 slated February 2, 3 & 4, 2007, 8 pm Abelardo Theater, UP Diliman, with matinee shows on February 3 & 4 at 3 pm.

Tickets are available now at TICKETNET. For inquiries, you may call mobile no. 0920-954-6204.
