Jose Mari Chan could be the most dynamic Pinoy pop singer at the incredible age of 78.                          

He turned up at the media conference for a 1 December concert all by himself. No alalay. No cane. All smiles. Always ready to reveal something about himself and to launch into any song (while piano-playing with his fingers on the table). 

Chan is a very engaging short-anecdote person. He can sing snippets of any of his songs or those of other artists (he knows many songs of The Platters, for instance). 

The mediacon was held 3 November at the Villamor Air Base Museum. Chan's forthcoming concert with Roselle Nava and Christian Bautista is called Yulestars, a three-night show with different artists each night at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Makati Circuit on 30 November to 2 December. 

Chan, Nava and Bautista will have theirs on 1 December. Joey Generoso and Angeline Quinto kick off the series on 30 November with special guest Ice Seguerra. Capping off the series are Ogie Alcasid and Nina with Seguerra again as special guest on 2 December.

The concert series is for the benefit of the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association, which is raising funds to assist PMA graduates who are quite sickly now or who have left behind families needing assistance.

For this reason, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro is urging the public to come and watch the shows. "I wholeheartedly support this (project) of the PMAAAI. Sana daluhan po natin. Tangkilikin po natin," he said.
