Rising Kapamilya p-pop group WRIVE celebrated their first anniversary with the sold-out “WRIVE: Unang Taon” event that brought together their supporters, called Arrows, for an afternoon filled with music, games, and heartfelt appreciation.
“Reaching our first anniversary is an incredible milestone, and we owe it to every Arrow who has believed in and supported us from the very beginning,” said the five-member group composed of Asi, Drei, Ishiro, Mathew, and Russu.
WRIVE treated the audience with a performance of their pre-debut original track, “Hollywood.” They also delivered a heartfelt rendition of “Panaginip Na Lang” before energizing the audience with a lively mash-up jam of their songs that had fans singing and cheering along, some of whom flew from abroad and across the Philippines just to show their support to their idol.
The celebration also featured special performances that showcased the members’ versatility. Drei and Ishi performed CxM’s “Worth It,” while Asi, Mathew, and Russu brought high energy to the stage with their rendition of Parokya ni Edgar’s “Bagsakan,” drawing enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.
WRIVE also trended on X in the Philippines during their anniversary week through the support of Arrows using the hashtags WE ARR1VE NOW, OohLaWRIVE SA SHOWTIME, and WRIVE UnangTaon LIVE.
Managed by ABS-CBN’s talent management Polaris-Star Magic, WRIVE debuted in July 2025 and launched last January their self-titled debut album, which has now reached over 730,000 all-time streams.
They are set to release the reimagined version of Gloc-9’s “Sumayaw Ka” in August and will be seen at the Star Magic All-Star Games on Aug. 23 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
