If there’s one thing we can’t lie about from Rita Ora’s first-ever show in Manila, it’s that she exceeded the expectations of her fans and blew them away with her powerful performances of hit songs and of course, lots of new ones from her latest album Phoenix. Rita Ora, who marks not just her first show in the Philippines but her inaugural visit to the country as well, performed on <a href="https://entertainment.abs-cbn.com/tv/shows/asap/main">ASAP</a> with Soul Supreme KZ hours before she set foot at the New Frontier Theater. Plus, she also got to witness other Kapamilya singers sing on the long-running noontime variety show.The 28-year-old British singer, who has witnessed herself how Pinoys slay on stage through 4th Impact (then 4th Power) when she was still a judge on the X Factor UK, praised Filipino singers at one point during the show. <div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Reunited again with <a href="https://twitter.com/RitaOra?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RitaOra</a> ❤️ We’re so happy to open your show for tonight!
