Late last year and the whole of 1997 saw an interesting team working together for the First Lady Amelita M. Ramos' various civic projects: the Pasig River, the Clean & Green program, the Helping Foundation, the OFW'S, Women's charity groups and support groups for the disabled. What was interesting about this team effort was that it involved a musical core group led by the First Lady herself! It did not aim to boast about its various famous name talents like Martin Nievera, Geneva & Sheryl Cruz, Tots Tolentino, John Lesaca, Jong Cuenco, Francis Magalona, etc. Neither did it seek to brag about the outstanding work done by the session musicians and the featured performers. Rather, it showcased the very best of the Filipino Artist as a human being: the ability to work side by side for a worthy cause. The ability to forget showbiz egos to cheer up our hardworking OCW'S. The willingness to give up huge potential professional fees in favor of modest honorariums to be united with the First Lady's desire to remind our countrymen, here and overseas, that the first step in a nation's progress is to work together despite professional differences.
