  AMP’s festivities for its 25th anniversary go beyond a single day, planning an entire month to celebrate the years that have passed. From a docu-series to a music conference, the Ateneo Musicians’ Pool gave a grand encore last June 10 and 11 with Synergy, a two-night fundraising concert in partnership and collaboration with 123Block and Big Baby Studios . The concert aimed to raise money for the outsourced workers of the Loyola Schools who fall victim to the “no work, no pay” system in light of online classes. Synergy featured 22 artists for some back to back jamming, many of which included The Itchyworms, Rusty Machines, The Cohens, and many more! “It's the silver anniversary!!!
