Once again, the Asosasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (popularly known as APM) is wrapping-up another sterling display of all-around brilliance in singing via their forthcoming Voice of Riyadh Search For The Next Teen Singing Star slated for stage release on 24^th of September at the Liwasang Bonifacio of the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh.  
 
APM organizers under the tutelage of its Chairman and Event Director Jeffry Almendras noted that, “Voice of Riyadh will showcase only the best in terms of voice qualities in song interpretations and repertoire — the same feat we have brandished during all our past performances”.  Almendras added, “This is one pretty way to commemorate the APM 5^th Anniversary.” 
 
Currently, APM is gearing up to make sure that all production requirements are all put in place, let alone, readying their best of the best performers to once again sashay their talents on stage side-by-side with this Year’s Finalists:  Malik Mariano, Trisha Braza, Sherica Lacambra, Maricris Estioko, Katlyn Guia, Kimberly Paredes, Justin Flores, Maribel Tanquerido, Erika Tanquerido, Sahar Tolop and Jandale Jamer. 
 
As the avalanches of positive expectations pour in, APM sees to it that no stone is left unturned.  They all agreed that Voice of Riyadh will raise the bar of entertainment as it promises the viewing public to be attached to it; will certainly move by it and think about it.  According to APM, “This competition serves as one ultimate training ground for the finalists who, as of this writing, are undergoing extensive stage coaching and voice clinic in preparation for this  event, let alone, other singing competitions they are eyeing to join soon”.   They added, “Voice of Riyadh is all about the ‘voice’.  You take away the accompanying instruments, the lights and the sounds, and what you will have is only the ‘voice’ — the voice and the stage performance of the competing finalists”.
