MANILA — Here’s a “high-tension” collaboration showing two P-pop groups in sync for a mash-up of their hits.

BGYO and MNL48 are all set for the grand number combining their respective songs, “Sabay” and “High Tension,” as seen in their recent rehearsals for Tugatog.

Aside from merging the two tracks with a live-band arrangement, the joint number will also see BGYO and MNL48 performing choreography from both tunes, going by the snippet.

Earlier rehearsal snippets released by Tugatog teased other collaborations involving two groups, as well as a gathering of all the boy groups and all the girl groups in separate numbers.

Tugatog was originally announced as a livestreamed concert scheduled for June, but later moved to a live venue with a physical audience amid eased pandemic restrictions.

“The goal is to take Tugatog to the live stage. We’re very excited about the possibilities that are unique to doing this online, but of course nothing compares to live,” said Sarah Ruth Matias, CEO of producer Ant Savvy Creatives and Entertainment Inc.
