Magno, John Eiron Francisco, and Benjo Laygo (+). Amangpintor (Elito Circa), watercolor master Rafael Cusi, and mud artist Percy Delono will also join and do live art performances.
Other artists whose works will be on display are Rico Aunzo, Daniel Dumaguit, Clarisse Agilera, Joe Hilario Arnold Dacles Estrella, and Riza Zuniga. The PPP members involved in the event include Albert Garcia, Joe Galvez, Gino Espano, Jhun Dantes, Claro Cortez, Luis Liwanag, Pinggot Zulueta, Dave Leprozo, Nico Sepe, Boy Cabrido, Gil Nartea, Bruce Lee Strong, Rhoy Cobilla, Roy Domingo, Nonie Reyes, George Buid, Jun Mendoza, Bruce Lee Strong, and renowed travel photographer George Tapan.
