Juan Karlos will bring home the trophy for Male Acoustic Artist of the Year for his song "Tanga Mo Juan." JK is still waiting to find out if he will win in other categories where he is nominated, including Male Recording Artist of the Year, Concert of the Year, and Male Concert Performer.
Meanwhile, the Unkabogable Superstar Vice Ganda won Christmas Song of the Year for his track "Rainbow Christmas."
Young stars Jayda Avanzado, Dylan Menor, Jarren Garcia, and Marthena Jickain are excited to host the event for the first time. They are perfect hosts since they are also singers themselves. Aside from hosting, Jarren will also perform with Sam Concepcion during the opening number.
