The 8th Asia Artist Awards was history in the making, for it was held for the first time in the Philippines on Thursday, December 14. Over 40 talented artists congregated at the Philippine Arena and attendees witnessed more than 30(!) of them perform live onstage.
Whether you were #TeamLabas or #TeamPHArena, all fans were given access to the Fanzone located within the nearby Philippine Sports Stadium (which remained open until 11PM!). The red carpet promptly commenced at 12:30PM, and was lively hosted by Ryan Bang.
The event proper began at 3PM, and lasted until 9:30PM. Among the list of awardees, fan favorite Lim Young Woong was awarded a grand total of *five* times, including a Daesang (grand prize)!
