WHEN I was in high school, I used to dance to the music of Joey Ayala. This year, we will be seeing him face to face as he performs for the 6th Munato Festival of Sarangani Province, November 27.

Of Joey Ayala's songs, I love most Magkaugnay, Karaniwang Tao, Tutubing Bakal, Little Brown Man, Lumad sa Siyudad, Ikaw at Ako, among others.

He has been awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines in 1989. He was also given the Musical Intelligence Award and Benigno S Aquino, Jr. Award for Social Artistry in 2007. See More.

The name Joey Ayala is synonymous to Philippine Contemporary Pop Music.

What makes me more proud of Joey Ayala is the fact that he is from Mindanao, an outstanding alumnus of Ateneo de Davao University.

Here's what I got from YouTube:

Join us as we celebrate Munato Festival! Hope to see you here in Sarangani!
