Candles were lit and a pledge to protect Mother Earth was recited as part of SnapTV's Light Up Stand Up event last April 8, 2016 at Sharq Village & Spa.

Hosted by VJ Kynah, the event aimed to spread environmental awareness and with 1,800 participants the event turned out to be a success!

Light Up Stand Up kicked off with a Zumba session lead by freelance zumba instructor, Leah and Aries of My First Eight Count.

A special performance by renowned Filipino artist, Chad Borja got the people engaged with his selection of original songs. Special guest and environmental advocate, Martin Dino spread awareness on protecting nature.

What followed was the candle lighting ceremony and the pledge to protect Mother Earth. The ceremony was accompanied by Janna Thomson's soulful rendition of "Heal the World".

Everyone sang along and the venue glowed with thousands of candle lights.
