(SPOT.ph) Parokya Ni Edgar emerged as the big winners of the 2012 MYX Music Awards on March 15 at the Music Museum. The novelty and alternative rock band bagged a total of six awards, including Favorite Song, Favorite Artist, Favorite Group, Favorite Collaboration, Favorite Guest Appearance in a Music Video, and Favorite MYX Live Performance.
Â
Zia Quizon, daughter of Comedy King Dolphy and Divine Diva Zsazsa Padilla, was also declared Favorite New Artist, while maestro Ryan Cayabyab was honored with the esteemed MYX Magna Award, a citation given to a music icon who has greatly contributed to the industry.
Â
Apart from handing out awards, the country’s top artists like Regine Velasquez, Basil Valdez, Yeng Constantino, Kyla, Karylle, Rachelle Ann Go, KC Concepcion, Christian Bautista, Juris, and Geneva Cruz also filled the night with music. Comedian Jon Santos, on the other hand, amused the audience with his hilarious impressions. Also present were former MYX VJ Heart Evangelista, Liz Uy, Divine Lee, Victor Basa, Paulo Avelino, Cristine Reyes, Jericho Rosales, Iya Villania, and more.
Â
The retro-themed awards night was extra-special because it paid tribute to the Golden Age of OPM-the 70's. In an interview with the Philippine Star, MYX channel head Andre Allan Alvarez said that he wanted to continue the channel's practice of supporting Pinoy originals. The theme was inspired by the reemergence of fresh OPM acts and original compositions last year.
