Gerald’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Fresh off his win for “Best Original Song’ at the FAMAS Awards for ‘Hamon’ (theme of the film Mamay, composed by Vehnee Saturno), Gerald is charting a new milestone, his solo concert ‘DREAMS’, set for December the 3rd, 2025, 8:00 o’clock p.m. at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
“Dreams don’t expire. They evolve. You just have to keep believing, working, and singing your truth,” Gerald Santos enthuses
Gerald’s win for ‘Hamon’ is a meaningful marker, not just for his personal career, but for Original Pilipino Music (OPM) itself. The award shines a light on his dedication to his craft and his evolving artistry, from singer to film actor, and fully into the realm of a story-teller through music. He’s said himself that this victory is “not just mine but for everyone who believes in OPM.”
Just ahead of his big homecoming concert, Gerald further proved his international draw. Together with Geneva Cruz, he recently held a sold-out show in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, an event that underscores his global appeal. According to his social media, the venue welcomed hundreds of attendees who embraced Gerald’s music and presence. He also made a courtesy call at the Philippine Embassy in Papua New Guinea (together with his manager, Rommel Ramilo), cementing the significance of the performance.
This accomplishment adds an important chapter to his story, not only his steady climb, but his ability to engage audiences beyond the Philippines.
DREAMS’ is not just a concert—it’s a personal narrative in song. Gerald describes it as “the songs I’ve always wanted to perform, songs that inspired me and shaped who I am today.”
Special guests include, the Philippines’ ‘Singer’s Singer’, Jed Madela, whose vocal mastery has influenced a generation.
Na‑Young Jeon — A celebrated international theatre actress, known for her portrayal of Fantine in London’s ‘Les Misérables’.
And OPM icon, Marco Sison, whose timeless hits span decades.
Additional featured artists include Kim Hewitt, Failene Malijan, and the ‘Bossa Nova Princess’, Andrea Gutierrez.
Musical Direction by Jason Cabato and Concert Direction by Antonino Rommel Ramilo.
‘DREAMS’ is produced by PrinStar Entertainment and Legalas Entertainment in cooperation with Echo Jham Entertainment Productions
Gerald plans to pay tribute to OPM legends such as Pilita Corrales, Freddie Aguilar, Hajji Alejandro, and Nora Aunor by performing their signature songs—an act of gratitude to the artists who shaped Philippine music and culture.
Gerald’s rise is rooted in perseverance. Winning Pinoy Pop Superstar at age 15 signaled early promise. Later, he took on a demanding role in the UK tour of ‘Miss Saigon’, performing over 550 shows, a testament to his discipline, endurance, and artistry. His transformation from promising young talent to international theatre performer to celebrated OPM artist underscores a rare versatility.
This concert isn’t just about songs—it’s about storytelling, reflection, and ambition. For Gerald, ‘DREAMS’ weaves his past, present, and future.
He stands as a reminder that for a dreamer, the journey doesn’t end with a trophy or a spotlight, it evolves.
As December the 3rd approaches, fans and music–lovers have reason to be excited. ‘DREAMS’ promises to be more than a fundraiser for Gerald’s career—it’s a cultural event.
It will feature a versatile setlist full of songs that influenced Gerald’s musical journey. Collaborative performances with top-tier guests.
Homages to OPM greats, connecting generations.
This is a chance for Philippine music supporters to witness Gerald’s evolution in real time.
“It’s my small way of saying thank you to those who shaped our music and our nation’s soul.”
“Every number in this concert has a story. It’s my heart speaking through music.”
Gerald Santos continues to redefine what it means to be a Filipino artist in the modern era. His win for ‘Hamon’, his sold-out overseas engagement, and the upcoming ‘DREAMS’ concert all combine to form a narrative of growth, commitment, and authenticity.
As he himself puts it, “Dreams don’t expire. They evolve.” December the 3rd will be more than a concert—it will be the next chapter in a story worth hearing.
