Allan Silonga, also known as "Daddy A" in the music industry, is credited with putting IV of Spades on the map by mentoring and guiding the group's career.
Aside from being a beloved figure in Original Pilipino Music (OPM) scene, Silonga is the father of Blaster Silonga, who was a member of the aforementioned band.
But like other bands, IV of Spades disbanded, breaking the hearts of their devoted followers.
Will they heed their fans' request and reunite for the benefit concert "Daddy Aid” to support Silonga's health battle? The proceeds from the concert will go to Silonga's medical expenses as he battles kidney disease and heart issues.

Some of the top OPM stars in the country, including Moira, Ben&Ben, Gloc-9, Dilaw, Lola Amour, Moonstar88, 6cyclemind, Gracenote, Tanya Markova, Lily, Sandwich, and many more, will perform at the benefit event on May 25 at Marikina Sports Center.
“What started out as simple fundraising initiative swiftly evolved into a full-scale call to action, with bands, labels, production firms, and creatives joining together to respond. The list is as amazing as it is endearing, with cult-favorite collectives, up-and-coming underground bands, and chart-topping artists like Tanya Markova and Ben&Ben,” said the organizers.
They added, “Every ticket sold takes Daddy A closer to healing — and demonstrates that when music talks, it shouts louder together. Because this time, the scene isn't just making noise. It is making a difference.”
Silonga responded to the encouragement of OPM stars by sharing, "’Yung nagkakaroon ka ng pag-asa, nararamdaman mo ang miracle at blessings.”
Tickets are available at daddyaid.helixpay.ph, with proceeds going straight to Silonga's kidney transplant.
