Gradually building up from an intimate, campfire-esque start to a grandiose conclus...

She’s taking things a notch higher, putting up her own label AWOOO Records , which she’s formally unveiling to the public today (September 24) after making an under-the-radar announcement earlier in the month. To the character-actress-turned-indie-darling, it’s not so much about scratching a visionary itch but passing deserving talents the mic. “I think [Filipinos] really stand a chance in changing how the world looks and sounds,” she says, confident that local music can enjoy the same attention other art...
