Olivia, 21, born and raised in California to a Filipino father and a German-Irish mother, earlier expressed her intent to go to the Philippines for a concert. Olivia said she is proud of her Filipino line, and she hasn't forgotten her roots despite her smashing success in the music scene. In an article written by Tomas Mier for the online edition of People Magazine recently, the singer was emotional as she represented the Filipino community in the US. In her Instagram Stories, Rodrigo expressed her excitement as this will be her first visit to the Philippines.
All net ticket proceeds will support Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, a global initiative "committed to building an equitable and just future for all women and girls through direct support of community based non-profits that champion girls' education, support reproductive rights and prevent gender-based violence."
"All tickets for the Manila show will be sold as Silver Star Tickets, all priced at P1,500 including taxes, with a limit of four per purchaser.
