Cornerstone and and a Viva Artist Win Big Despite Odds in the 1st Philippine LEAF Awards



2020 seems to taking off with a blast for Cornerstone Entertainment. Not only do they have an upcoming concert on the 14th headlined by Rachelle Ann Go at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, they also bagged a number of major awards in the first installment of this multi-genred award-giving body for live performances.

Erik Santos and Yeng Constantino's 'Extraordinary' bested concert formidable well-applauded shows last year like 'Iconic' and 'The Songbird and the Songhorse', bagging the award for Outstanding Performance in a Concert by a Duo/Group.

John Prats, who has only been directing concerts for more than 2 years, has received positive feedback for his style and it is obvious that he will be directing more shows because he bagged the Outstanding Concert Director award.

Alisah Bonaobra who made songs recently under Viva Records bested more recently popular bets Janine Berdin and Jex de Castro, bagging the Outstanding New Artist award.





The 1st Philippine LEAF Awards was held at RCBC Theater, Makati City last February 8. The ceremony, dubbed as Tertulia at Parangal, started promptly at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Below is the complete list of winners:
