The Grammy Award-Winning, multi-platinum R&B/POP legends All-4-One are coming to Davao on December 15 at the SMX Convention Center! The group has timeless harmonies and chart-topping hits that have shaped the soundtrack of love for over three decades.The quartet consists of Jamie Jones, Delious Kennedy, Alfred Nevarez, and Tony Borowiak who are celebrated for their blend of rich vocal arrangements and heartfelt storytelling that continues to inspire the global music scene and the new generations of artists with their signature sound.
All-4-One’s debut song “So Much in Love” burst through the charts in 1993 with their fresh spin on a classic tune that introduced their smooth sound and vocal chemistry to the world. It quickly rose to the No.4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart but it was their follow-up single “I Swear” that was their ticket to international superstardom, spending consecutive weeks at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. The song became one of the longest running songs of the era and was a cultural phenomenon that earned them the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. “I Swear” was also named by ASCAP as one of the greatest love songs of the 20th century.
Their hits include “I Can Love You Like That”, “These Arms”, “Beautiful As U”, “Someday” from the soundtrack of Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, and “I Turn To You” from the Space Jam Soundtrack, later recorded by Christina Aguilera. Their debut and sophomore albums both solidified their place in R&B history by going multi-platinum, and earning gold and platinum certifications across multiple countries.
To date, All-4-One has sold over 25 million records worldwide with their music charting in the U.S., U.K., Asia, Australia, and across Europe. They have received numerous accolades including the Grammy Award, the American Music Award, the Blockbuster Entertainment Award, and 3 Billboard Music Awards.
All-4-One continues to perform around the world, even with decades of sold-out tours and millions of fans, they still plan to deliver their hits and newer favorites with passion and excellence to places such as Davao. Their live shows are a testament to their passion, excellence, vocal power, showmanship, brotherhood, and enduring appeal. They celebrated their over 20 year journey in 2015 by releasing the album “Twenty+” featuring new songs and reimagined versions of their iconic tracks. The album reminded fans and critics alike that All-4-One remains at the top of their game.
Now with 30 plus years as an active pop group, All-4-One are proud to still be united with all four original members – an extraordinary accomplishment in the music industry. Their journey from small-town beginnings to international stardom is a story of perseverance, unity, and a shared belief in the power of music to move the world.

Uptown Bonifacio welcomed the holiday season with a celebration that places artistry, sustainability, and Filipino creativity at the heart of Christmas. This year’s centerpiece, created in collaboration with renowned fashion designer Michael Leyva, transforms excess fabrics and leftover materials from Leyva’s previous couture collections into an ethereal 30-foot Christmas tree inspired by a celestial muse.
The launch was led by Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, Megaworld President and CEO Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso, First Vice President and Head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls Graham Coates, Cluster General Manager Camille Elviña, and designer Michael Leyva during the unveiling of the installation at Uptown Mall.
At the center of the celebration is a tree that departs from traditional décor while preserving its iconic silhouette. Draped in layered fabrics and sculptural details, the installation mirrors Leyva’s signature romantic aesthetic while highlighting a purposeful message: that beauty can emerge from what we choose to renew and reimagine.
“This collaboration is a celebration of Filipino artistry and the values we want to uplift this season,” said Graham Coates, First Vice President and Head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls. “Through Michael’s vision, we see how creativity can spark renewal and how thoughtful design can strengthen meaningful connections within our Uptown Bonifacio community. It reminds us that the holidays are at their best when they inspire us to create, to reflect, and to share.”
Crafted from excess fabrics, archival trimmings, and leftover materials from Leyva’s atelier, the tree’s layered textures and couture-inspired ornaments echo the designer’s philosophy that artistry becomes more powerful when paired with purpose. Surrounding angel forms, also adorned in reimagined materials, extend the narrative of renewal while adding a celestial touch to the installation.
“As designers, we have to think of something we can recycle or we can make something beautiful out of—things that we don’t use anymore,” shared Leyva. “Seeing the finished tree is genuinely uplifting, and it captures the message of Christmas—love and pure happiness.”
Guests are invited to experience Wrapped in Style throughout the season—exploring the couture-inspired Christmas tree and decorations. The celebration continues all season long with the Uptown Run Club’s indoorMall-a-thon on December 6 and Door Dash Run in partnership with participating restaurants on December 11, elegant Christmas quartet performances on December 24 and 31, and a Santa Meet and Greet on December 23 and 25.

For generations, food has brought Filipinos together, from the hearty caldereta shared during reunions to the fruit salad served at Noche Buena. At the heart of these celebrations lies a story that began in Bukidnon a hundred years ago, one of land, people, and the kind of goodness that endures.
As Del Monte Philippines, a leading food and beverage company, marks its 100th year in 2026, it celebrates not just its legacy as a household name, but as a force for Nourishing Goodness and Nation-Building, caring for the land, empowering people, and nourishing generations with food and beverages that are both good and good for you.
Nourishing the Land
For a century, Del Monte has cultivated more than 30,000 hectares of farmland in Bukidnon, growing not just pineapples but a legacy of sustainability and stewardship.
Through decades of care, its plantation has achieved carbon-negative status, with over 700,000 trees planted, sustainable water recycling, and soil-conservation initiatives that ensure the land thrives for the generations ahead.
These efforts reflect Del Monte’s belief that real nourishment starts at the source when the land is cared for, everything it grows can nourish goodness.
Nourishing People and Communities
Behind every pineapple are the 24,000 men and women who make up the Del Monte family: generations of farmers and workers who have called Bukidnon home. Beyond livelihoods, Del Monte has created a self-sustaining community complete with free housing, schools, a hospital, and recreational spaces for employees and their families.
Through the Del Monte Foundation, this culture of care extends beyond the plantation, reaching over 200,000 people across more than 100 barangays. Even before the establishment of Del Monte Foundation, DMPI has opened and operated eight schools, nurturing young minds and shaping future generations. Since its inauguration in 1994, its livelihood training programs have graduated 17,000 individuals.
The Foundation’s School Development Program has built 17 classrooms, aided 204 schools, and donated 8,000 chairs and provided learning kits to 117 pre-schools and day care centers.
The Foundation’s Scholarship Program has produced over 1,700 high school and college graduates, and continues to support 300 scholars today, a living testament to how Del Monte’s success is rooted in shared growth.
Nourishing Filipino Homes for 100 Years
For a century, Del Monte has been part of Filipino homes, from the 100% Pineapple Juice with PiñaPhyto5 that boosts wellness to Tomato Sauce with LycoNutrients enriched with vitamins A, C, and Iodine, and Pineapple Tidbits and Slices rich in Vitamin C and fiber.
Del Monte’s story of nourishment continues to evolve as it explores new ways to bring goodness into everyday life. The company’s move into dairy and snacks through innovations like Mr. Milk and Potato Crisp extends its long-standing commitment to quality, nutrition, and taste to even more moments in the day. With the launch of Fruity Zing, Del Monte offers a refreshing new way for Filipinos to enjoy affordable, flavorful, and energizing drinks, blending the brand’s heritage of nourishment with the joy of modern refreshment.
And through Del Monte Kitchenomics, what started as a beloved TV show has evolved into a vibrant online community that continues to inspire Filipino home cooks to make every meal special.
A Century of Celebration and Collaboration
To mark this milestone, Del Monte introduces its Centennial Packaging Refresh, a bold and vibrant look symbolizing 100 years of trust, innovation, and goodness.
The brand also celebrates through partnerships that embody the same Filipino spirit of Kaayo — the goodness that uplifts and connects:
Disney-themed Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce — adding a touch of magic to Filipino homes with a heartwarming family promo that rewards 100 lucky households with all-expense-paid trips for four to Hong Kong Disneyland, celebrating family bonding over the nation’s most loved spaghetti moments.
Uniqlo x Del Monte “Wear the Goodness” — a collaboration that brings “Kaayo” to life through UTMe! shirts and tote bags inspired by Del Monte’s iconic red, yellow, and green colors. Available from Nov 21, 2025 to May 31, 2026, the collection can be found in select stores across Mega Manila (MOA, Glorietta, Megamall, Alabang, BGC, Aura, Greenhills, Nuvali) as well as Cebu, Davao and CDO.
Also available, exclusive Uniqlo x Del Monte Coffee drinks will be sold exclusively at Uniqlo Coffee stores at Uniqlo Manila and MOA from November 21-30,2025.
Auro Chocolate x Del Monte Pineapple Crunch — a proudly Filipino collaboration featuring freeze-dried golden pineapples coated in Auro’s signature single-origin white chocolate, available from Nov 24, 2025 via Auro cafés, e-commerce, and Kultura.
In addition, Del Monte x Auro Café offers special, limited-edition pineapple-infused menu that bring together familiar Filipino comfort and tropical creativity. Exclusively available at Auro Café BGC starting November 11 until December 7.
Jamba Juice x Del Monte — Drink good, do good with every purchase of Aloha Pineapple smoothie or Pina Colada refresher. ₱5 will be donated to Del Monte’s farming communities for each cup sold of these offerings from Nov 3 – Dec 31, 2025.
The Kaayo Film: A Century of Goodness in Motion
The centerpiece of Del Monte’s centennial celebration is The Kaayo Film, a video tribute to a hundred years of nourishing goodness. Kaayo, which means “goodness,” tells the story of how this legacy began in Bukidnon, nurtured by generations of farmers and families whose care and compassion have allowed this goodness to grow, passed on and shared with every Filipino home today.
A Future Rooted in Goodness
A century on, Del Monte continues to show that nourishment goes far beyond the table — it is a living cycle that begins with the land, is sustained by people, and ultimately enriches the nation.
As Del Monte COO and President, Mr. Luis F. Alejandro shared, “If you take a look at the past 100 years, we have nourished not only products but the land, our employees, our barangays, and every partner we have in this operation. Nurturing generations is very important to Del Monte — I don’t think we would have reached 100 years if we failed to nurture the generations of people here, and the communities we serve.”
From Bukidnon to Filipino homes across the country, Del Monte’s story of Kaayo reminds us that when goodness is cultivated, it grows — nourishing lives, families, and communities for generations to come.
