Singer Alyn Magadia is also one of the performers as well as sixth Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) aerial dance winner Kristel de Catalina and former The Voice Generation contestant the Ayta Brothers.

“Three UK-based Filipino nurses — Xyza Macutay-Malloch, Louie Horne and Charito Leonardo-Romano, who are recipients of the British Empire Medal, are among the attendees. They will be acknowledged during the concert,” the PCO said.

The first three concerts were held last year — the “KSP: Awit ng Magiting,” for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), followed by the “KSP: Para sa Atletang Pilipino” for Filipino athletes, and the KSP: Para sa Mahal dating mga Guro on October 1 for teachers.
