About Gary Valenciano
Gary Valenciano, known as Mr. Pure Energy, transformed OPM performance with his electrifying dance moves and soaring voice. Emerging in the 1980s, he brought pop, funk, and gospel influences to Filipino music and became one of its most durable superstars, a fixture of concert stages for four decades. Songs like Narito Ako and Take Me Out of the Dark are staples of the modern Filipino canon.
