MANILA -- Gary Valenciano, Gloc-9 and SB19 took home awards in the 16th PMPC Star Awards for Music on Sunday night in Makati, which became a nightlong celebration of Original Pilipino Music (OPM).

"Mr. Pure Energy" was honored with the Pilita Corales Lifetime Achievement Award for his extensive influence in the music industry. He and Gloc-9 also took home an award for their collaboration, "Walang Pumapalakpak."

"Noong tinanong ako ni Gloc-9 kung pwede ako maging bahagi ng kanta na ‘to, nung narinig ko yung mensahe, sabi ko sapat na eh. Kasi yung pag ra-rap ni Gloc-9 kasi palaging may dalang mensahe lahat ng mga kanta," Valenciano said in his acceptance speech.

"I'm so, so privileged to have been given a chance to do this," he added.

Ice Seguerra paid tribute to Valenciano with a soulful rendition of "Sana Maulit Muli," before Valenciano himself electrified the crowd with a performance of "Hataw Na."

SB19 was one of the major winners of the night, clinching Song of the Year for their hit "Gento," which also earned the award for Dance Recording of the Year. The group further secured Album of the Year for "Pagtatag!" and the Duo/Group Concert Performer of the Year award for their "Pagtatag World Tour… Manila."

Ogie Alcasid, meanwhile, received the Male Recording Artist of the Year for "Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan."

"Sobrang important because binibigyan nilang pagpapahalaga ang musikang Pilipino so bilang ako'y nakakatanda at pangulo ng OPM, it's very important to be supportive [of the] music awards such as the Star  Awards. I'm honored and I'm thankful and grateful na pinagpatuloy nila ang Star Awards [for] Music," he said.

The night also featured a performance of Maymay Entrata, who won Novelty Song of the Year for "Autodeadma."

"Hanggang ngayon po talaga ay hindi pa din po siya nag si-sink in po kahit na post ko na po sa lahat ng social media... Very thankful [and] very blessed talaga," she added.
