Transcom Rockfest Water-Proof: Wet and Wild Rock Party

What supposed to be a water-proof rockfest turned out to a wet and wild party! As blogged earlier, Transcom comes up with Rockfest 2012 in the roof deck of the building. This was a celebration of a true Filipino spirit looking back in the Habagat calamity. A thank you party for the employees boost with food and drinks, all for free. Registration started at 6pm in the roof deck entrance where everyone was allowed to bring 1 guest. Souveniers were also given out to the first 80 employees and its a choice of a black shirt printed with the party logo or a white umbrella. Yours truly, one of the lucky few grabbed the umbrella for my memoir of the party. Glow in the dark sticks were also given out to each employee and have it worn in the right wrist along with a hand gesture for "One, Transcom". The first part of the party was a raffle draw for 2 ipod nano and 1 iphone 4s. Unfortunately, its given out to the lucky person. I am left hoping for my name to be drawn and win even just a consolation prize. Better luck next time. I still can remember the videos played in the earlier part of the program. The videos were heart-warming, witty and funny in the sense that all was a surprise and unexpected. The main course of the show are the rock bands! Hosted by John Hendrix (former Campus Radio Jock) and Logie Basabas, they rolled out the playing bands. First group who performed was #SpongeCola. Yael Yuson spearheaded the gig. Its a more adlid Yael that I have saw tonight. Way back, he never does funny adlibs but I guess its a hit adding those in his gigs. For about 6 songs, Sponge cola ended their set and paved way for Paraluman. I havent got the chance to get the vocalist's name but she is a combination of beautiful, hot, sexy rock chick. As far as I can remember, they just played about 4 to 5 songs. 6 Cycle Mind invaded the stage next. Dammit! but I was really singing along with their song! I loved it! Toti, the vocalist was cooler than ever! The best thing about their set is the part when the rain started pouring and it made the crowd wilder! Sure that I was one of those who soaked not just from the rain but as well as the beer being intentionally thrown out to the crowd and it made the party wildest! After about 5 songs, its time for Mark Abaya's group, Kjwan! The rain pours but it did not stop the crowd from enjoying the band. It wasnt just the guys that has enjoyed the show but the ladies have their turn when Mark Abaya took off his shirt. Screams from the ladies of the 4 corners of the venue surpassed the guy's voices! Thats what you get from a crowd when you have a god's body! One message that I cant forget from Mark Abaya: "Bagyo ka lang, Pilipino Ako!" and thats the true spirit of the night. It turned out that the female host of the night is also playing a set. Logie and her band sang about 3 songs and the stage was being cleared to give way to the main attraction of the night, PAROKYA NI EDGAR! PNE has always been a crowds favorite because of their hits and wit. Chito Miranda knows how to please his crowd. Vinci is a serious clown. PNE is my favorite OPM band. They really rock and move you from where you stand. Halaga, Pangarap lang kita, buloy, Pizza Pie and The Yes Yes Show, though too old school for PNE's hit songs, these has made the crowd go wildest. PNE is really a darling of the crowd. The party ended around 12mn with everybody showing a satisfied and contented face. Might have been soaked from the rain but its still worth the fun! Transcom is a great satisfaction provider. They knew how to make their employees happy. And as a new day unfold, Transcom is opening their doors for a greater height. Considers a place to be called as home. Transcom, I'm home!
