More or less...

Anchor:

Patuloy ang phenomenal na tagumpay ng Pinoy singing sensation na si Arnel Pineda bilang pinakabagong bokalista ng sikat na US band na Journey...
(Filipino singing sensation) Arnel Pineda is on a phenomenal roll as (famous US band) Journey's newest vocalist...

Reporter:

Kahit saang bansa magtanghal ang music legend na Journey ngayon, dama ang bagong siglang dala ng bokalistang Pinoy na si Arnel Pineda sa init ng kanyang showmanship at tindi ng kanyang boses.
(Filipino) Arnel Pineda's intense showmanship and powerful voice spark renewed interest and enthusiasm wherever (music legend) Journey perform nowadays.

Tumatabo ngayon sa international music charts ang comeback album ng grupo na Revelation kung saan binigyang buhay muli ni Arnel ang mga classic hits ng Journey tulad ng After All These Years, Separate Ways, at Open Arms.
The group's comeback album, Revelation, which includes rerecorded classic hits like After All These Years (classic? wtf! lol), Separate Ways, and Open Arms, is currently charting abroad.

Eto ang patunay ng matagumpay na paglipad sa kasikatan ni Arnel sa live concerts at recording mula sa pagkadiskubre sa kanya sa YouTube. Maging si Lani Misalucha hindi makapaniwala sa tagumpay ni Arnel.
This is proof of Arnel's soaring achievement--as far as live concerts and recording are concerned--since he was discovered on YouTube. Even Lani Misalucha is in awe of his success.

Laking pasasalamat ng gitaristang si Neal Schon dahil nagkaroon daw ng bagong buhay ang grupo nang matagpuan nila ang Pinoy na nagpalakas ng kanilang bonding. Saludo rin ang keyboardist na si Jonathan Cain sa kalidad ng boses ni Arnel.
(Guitarist) Neal Schon is thankful; according to him, the Filipino's presence enhanced their bonding and rejuvenated the group. Also, (keyboardist) Jonathan Cain esteems Arnel's vocal quality.

Kasunod ng una niyang album at serye ng international shows, umaasa si Arnel na matuloy ang planong pagtatanghal ng Journey sa Maynila...
Arnel hopes that, following the first album and series of international shows, Journey's planned Manila concert will push through...

Sa thank you note sa album, iginiit ni Arnel ang kanyang pasasalamat sa mga taga-Olongapo kung saan din siya nagsimula, at sa lahat ng mga Pinoy worldwide na naniwala sa kanyang kakayahan...
On the album's thank you note, Arnel expressed gratitude to the people of Olongapo (where he started) and to all his countrymen worldwide who believed in him...

Thanks for the translation, Etcetera. It looks like an Asian tour is really going to happen next year. I wonder in what size venues they will perform.

The largest indoor facility (if the group will opt for one) in Manila has a concert capacity of about 18,000.
