DARREN ESPANTO INVITED TO GRACE PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY IN NEW YORK!
(New York, NY) - "Scenes In The City" have it in good authority to share this hot piece of news- that The Voice Kids Philippines' Almost Grand Winner, Darren Espanto, 13, is being invited to grace the Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York City this coming June. The Big Apple is home to more than 3.4 million Filipinos in the United States.
Following the tradition of the celebration being on the first Sunday of June, the 2015 Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York City will take place on June 7, 2015, at Madison Avenue. This annual event geared towards raising cultural awareness and embracing Filipino pride and heritage, attracts more than 100,000 (the largest Independence Day event for Filipinos in terms of attendance, held outside the Philippines) people celebrating merrily along the streets of Manhattan.
As of press time, the only obstacle from making this a reality, we have learned in utmost confidentiality, is Darren's super busy schedule (whirlwind shows around the Philippine Islands, Australia Canada, United States, Middle East and if you haven't noticed lately, his almost daily stints at Kris Aquino, The Queen of All Media's Kris TV), that precludes his Manager, MCA Universal, from issuing a clear approval.
If plans do not miscarry, this will be the second time Darren will be making a big mark in New York. He first conquered the Big Apple last October 25, 2014 when he performed to a couple of standing ovation numbers during the TOFA (honoring New York's Finest Fil-Ams) finale at the world famous Carnegie Hall, despite being under the weather.
Darren, you are one lucky and talented 13 year old!
