HONOR Philippines recently pulled off an epic celebration for the success of the HONOR X9b 5G, with an unforgettable concert featuring iconic Filipino rock band Parokya Ni Edgar. The HONOR X9b 5G Bagsakan Concert, held last March 16 at McKinley Whisky Park in Taguig City, drew nearly a thousand HONOR fans who witnessed high-caliber performances and got to experience the toughness of the X9b 5G firsthand through wild stunts and challenges.
The Stacked Lineup
Kicking off the night of music and excitement was soulful singer Jarlo Base, followed by the artistry of Over October.
poken word artist Kween Yasmin delivered powerful poetry, while drag queen Lady Gagita brought an Eras Tour-level performance. Comedian Alex Calleja hosted the show, with hilarious sets from his group The Comedy Crew.
Parokya Ni Edgar Steals the Show
But the highlight was the much-awaited performance by Parokya Ni Edgar, one of the most iconic and sought-after Filipino rock bands.
They had the crowd going wild as they belted out hits like “Your Song,” “Harana,” “Halaga,” “Para Sa’Yo,” and fittingly, “Bagsakan.”
Putting the X9b 5G to the Test
The real star of the show was the HONOR X9b 5G itself, which once again proved its toughness with crazy stunts and challenges. Hundreds tried the HONOR Pong Challenge, where they hit the phone’s screen to strike a target. In the HONOR Drop Test, they threw the phone onto a floor target to win prizes. And in the HONOR Archery challenge, guests aimed the X9b 5G with a bow and arrow!
“This event is something that we plan on doing regularly, and with the massive success of our first run, we are 100% sure that this will happen again anytime soon. We thank our HONOR fans for supporting our products especially the HONOR X9b 5G, and we are staying true to our promise that we will only give the best to them.”
– HONOR Philippines Vice President, Stephen Cheng
