It's now Ian's turn to read your well wishes...Just reply to this to leave your birthday greetings...

Defending Ian

The mistake has long been committed but the issue has continued. Although it is much better left alone at this point, we would like to give way to people who feel strongly about defending him from the countless of judgemental people who just can't let the matter rest.

Here is something from a concerned ShinIan:

From what I have read in the comments on the video blooper where Ian skipped two lines in singing our national anthem,I really got offended and hurt for him. They just dont know how Ian feels. For me, it's not easy to sing the national anthem (as what other singers said). To those who judged Ian, I challenge you to sing the national anthem in front of the camera in front of a lot of people and let's see what happens next. Before you judge others, look at yourself first if you are beyond mistakes.

And to Ian, don't you worry, all the CFs and SHINIANS like me are always beside you in good times and in bad. We still SUPPORT, IDOLIZE and LOVE you because you are a wonderful person....Continue your journey in life, love and career. Don't let this issue bring you down.

GOD BLESS & TAKE CARE ALWAYS...

Thank you very much for your concern, fellow ShinIan. I'm very sure Ian appreciates all our love and support specially during tough times like this.

Inspired countdown begin

For years we have seen Ian inspire so many people. He has inspired you and me with his mellow voice and his charm. He has inspired us to be better than we thought we can be. He has inspired us to love and cherish those we hold dear. He has inspired us, period.

Come October 6 at the Cuneta Astrodome, Ian is as inspired as can be as he sets the stage for what promises to be a night to remember. This time he rejoices because of those who have inspired him. From family, friends and fans, Ian is overwhelmed by the support and love that he has been given through the years.

A big part of his success in life is his alma mater, the Imus Unida Christian School in Cavite, which is the major beneficiary of the concert. “Part of the proceeds is meant to serve for the construction of a building in my school. It’s for their modernization. I was very much involved with this school when I was still a student. I had very good memories there and my experience there has helped me gain confidence.”

Director Freddie Santos said this is a pretty straighforward concert, with focus on the man of the night and his music. And to make Ian much bigger than life in this exciting concert are the‘Watch Out’ screens, an enormous 9x42 feet multi-display presentation technology sprawled on stage. This is the same projection technology that Celine Dion uses in her long-running show at the Colosseum, Las Vegas strip. "The use of this technology will surely contribute a lot to the exciting look of the show. With this system, we are only limited by our creativity, and imagination,” Ian said.

Funny how inspiring others gives us inspiration. It's a cycle that I believe should never end.
