24th Awit Awards: Parokya ni Edgar’s Pakiusap Lang (Lasingin Nyo Ako) for Song of the Year and Juris’ Now Playing for Album of the Year

After our Teatrino gig, we came across Music Museum just to glance at the ongoing 24th Awit Awards last night. Were glad to witness the last 2 awards, Song of the Year and Album of the Year, presented to Pakiusap Lang (Lasingin Nyo Ako) by Chito Miranda (Parokya Ni Edgar) and Juris, Now Playing (Juris) respectively.

Parokya Ni Edgar happily received their award while Juris was tearful and overwhelmed because it’s her first appreciation as a solo artist in a solo album.

Awit Awards’ Song of the Year Pakiusap Lang (Lasingin Nyo Ako), music video directed by Bubbles Paraiso, included in Parokya Ni Edgar’s Middle-Aged Juvenile Novelty Pop Rockers.

Parokya Ni Edgar also won this years Awit Awards’ Best Collaboration (Pangarap Lang Kita - PAROKYA NI EDGAR feat. HAPPEE SY), Best Performance by a Group of Recording Artists (Pakiusap Lang (Lasingin Nyo Ako)) and Best Ballad (Pangarap Lang Kita - PAROKYA NI EDGAR).
