Background
edit
The Konsyerto sa Palasyo (KSP) is a concert series set inside the Malacañang Palace complex intended to feature the 'best up and coming' Filipino artists by the Philippine government under the administration of President Bongbong Marcos.[1] In February 2023 during the Ani ng Dangal Awards ceremony by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Marcos urged the agency to cultivate the creative industry. He stressed that the industry should not be left behind in the recovery process of the Philippine economy's from the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3]
The concert series was first announced to the public on April 13, 2023.[4]
It is organized by the following agencies: Office of the President, the Presidential Communications Office, Social Secretary's Office (SOSEC) and Presidential Broadcast Staff – Radio Television Malacañang (PBS-RTVM).[1]
Konsyerto sa Palasyo: Awit ng Magiting, the first event set on April 22, 2023, is dedicated to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for "its sacrifices in maintaining the nation's sovereignty, peace and security".[1] Several succeeding events are planned for the year 2023.[3] Organizers plan to hold an event every 3 months.[5]
Marcos' father, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. also had a similar program named the Concert in the Park which featured performances in open spaces.[6]
