UP SAMASKOM Donates Live AIDS Proceeds to College

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 23^rd 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

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 pays 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.
