Manalo has also opened an art exhibit as part of his 20th anniversary celebrations. An album featuring reimagined versions of Manalo’s most popular songs by other artists is also in the works, according to ABS-CBN News. Artists who have been confirmed for the project include Regine Velasquez, Gary Valenciano, Moira dela Torre, Ben&Ben, and Juan Karlos.

He has also launched a musical series starring Andrea Brillantes, Darren Espanto, AC Bonifacio, Jeremy Glinoga, Angela Ken and more titled ‘Lyric and Beat’, which ties together his songs as a narrative. Watch the first episode below.

Manalo first emerged with his 2001 single ‘Tara Tena’, which won him the grand prize at the Himig Handog Song Fest that year before going on to win the Metropop Song Festival two years later. Alongside his own solo material, Manalo has also produced albums for Christian Bautista, Moira de la Torre, Piolo Pascual, Charice (now Jaken Zyrus), KZ Tandingan and Iñigo Pascual among others.
