Young singer Sarah Geronimo once again proved that she still reigns in the hearts of music enthusiasts as she bagged four awards at the 3rd MYX Music Awards held at Meralco Theater last Wednesday, March 26.

That evening was indeed one of Geronimo's brightest nights as she was named Favorite Artist, Favorite Female Artist, Favorite MYX Celebrity VJ, while her song "Ikaw" won the Favorite Song award.

The awards night was a huge success with a large number of stars in attendance. The venue was also packed with fans and supporters of both music artists and celebrity presenters.

The audience enjoyed the night as bands and solo performers wowed the crowd with their astounding renditions of their original and most popular hits.

But before the awards were given to the winners, the night started off with cocktails and a red carpet moment for artists and members of entertainment media, many of whom were dressed in rock star style.

The night and the crowd stayed alive with special performances by Sandwich, Julianne, controversial couple singer-composer Ogie Alcasid and Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez, sexy singing group The Kitty Girls and Nancy Jane.

The presenters such as Pinoy Big Brother ex-housemate and endorser Jon Avila, actress Valerie Concepcion, actor Dingdong Dantes and 'Racing Goddess' Gaby de la Merced left the audience going wild.

But one of the biggest highlights of the evening was when international artist, Filipinos' gem Allan Pineda more popularly known as Apl De Ap of the popular hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, presented one of the categories for the music awards. He then received a special citation for his unquestionable contribution to the music industry and to the country. Pineda arrived in Manila last March 25 just to attend the special event.
