• January 31 – Ebe Dancel, formerly the vocalist of Sugarfree launched his album "Bawat Daan" at Eastwood Central Plaza.

Coincidentally, the musician tells the crowd that this album launch is somewhat a send-off party for him, as he moves back to his hometown of Los Baños, Laguna. The song from which the album gets its name, Bawat Daan, is an ode to a lover, the only constant in a world of doubts.
