Among the highlights of the afternoon were the heartfelt renditions of "El Collar de Sampaguita," "Ang Huling El Bimbo," and "Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling Ka," which resonated deeply with the audience and evoked emotions of love and longing. Shoppers stopped by and listened to the music, especially families and friends who gathered to share in the joyous celebration of music and togetherness.

“Sining Sorpresa” not only showcased the exceptional talent of these renowned musical groups but also served as a reminder of the unifying power of music to bring people together. The event is part of the CCP’s Kanto Kultura program in partnership with SM Supermalls.
