The Unity Tour Press Conference

Torrance, CA - The Unity Tour had a press conference in Maegan's Grill yesterday at 11AM headed by Mr. Henry Chen. Four among seven performing artists were present during the press con headed by the Pop Diva - Kuh Ledesma and daughter Isabella. Nanette Inventor and Jograd dela Tore joined them as they await the arrival of Charlie Green, Christian Bautista and Carlo Orosa later this week. The Unity Tour will be in Long Beach this coming October 24, 2009 at the Long Beach Convention Center. The press con was somewhat different from any other: it focused mainly on Christianity and being God-centered. Kuh Ledesma gathered some of her Christian friends to come up with an inspirational concert for the Filipinos. The concert was also turned into a fund raising event for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng that displaced thousands of Filipinos in Manila and nearby provinces placing their homes underwater. People will see a different kind of concert and a different kind of Kuh.

Our friends from press/media/photographers were there to support the show. The producers encouraged the concert goers to donate clothes, food and cash for the victims during their all 4 shows accross the US and Canada. Kuh and Isabella shared their own painful experience ex-husband and father and how they overcame tradgedies in life and how thankful they are because of the strength God has given them. Nanette Inventor shared with the press the new character she will portray in the show. Nanette was known in the Philippines as Dona Buding but Nanette said that the character may not fit the tour so she created another one. Jograd de la Tore, a well known comedian from the 80's was thankful to Kuh that he was chosen to be included with the group. Though Jograd is not visible on television lately, he continues to perform with bands in the Philippines. Isabella, Kuh's daughter is excited to be with The Unity Tour.
The Press Con was held at Maegan's Grill in the City of Torrance. After the interviews, we were treated to a delicious buffet of Filipino cuisine. Our thanks to Henry Chen for inviting us for this spirit filled and inspirational gathering. Despite the October rains pouring in Los Angeles, there was a good turnout during the presscon. See you in October 24!
