SINGAPORE, 13 March 2026 -The Philippine Embassy in Singapore joined the Filipino Community at the concert of OPM Band Cup of Joe with guest performer Ms. Yeng Constantino on Sunday, 8 March 2026.
Cup of Joe is a Filipino pop rock band from Baguio, formed in 2018, known for hits like “Tingin” and “Multo”. They’ve quickly risen as one of the most streamed and in-demand bands in the Philippines.
The five-member band composed of Gian Bernandino (Vocals), Raphaell Ridao (Vovals), Gabriel Fernandez (lead guitar), CJ Fernandez (rhythm guitar) and Xen Gareza (keyboards), captured the heart of kababayans in Singapore with their heartfelt music that strongly resonated with their dynamic audience, including Gen Z and millennials.
Ambassador Medardo Macaraig, along with other Embassy personnel, were present in the Stardust Singapore concert – a celestial, dreamlike concert experience that blended music, visuals, and storytelling, to celebrate their 7-year journey in the Philippine music industry.
Cup of Joe had an opportunity to meet with Ambassador Macaraig after the concert. During their brief interaction, the Ambassador congratulated the group with their lively performance and expressed his best wishes to the group’s continued success in the industry.
The event also marked the band’s first-ever solo performance in Singapore. /END
