The Filipino-American singer relayed that all net proceeds of the concert will go to nonprofit organization Jhpiego. Olivia personally visited their office while she was in Manila.

"I’m SO stoked that all the net ticket sales from last night could be donated to @jhpiego through my fund 4 good. I got to visit the organization while I was in Manila and was so impressed by the work they are doing providing healthcare to women and girls in the Philippines," she said.

Olivia's Fund 4 Good is "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."

Olivia highlighted that her trip to the Philippines has been a memorable one.

Fans online were quick to react to Olivia's post.

"So proud of you! Welcome home! ❤️" one fan commented.

"Mahal din kita Liv!!! Best girl ⭐️ See you again in ur next tour 😼💋," another fan wrote.

Born to a Filipino father and a German-Irish mother in California, Olivia has always been vocal about her Filipino roots.

"My dad grew up in a house where they were always making Filipino food, his grandpa always spoke Tagalog. All of those traditions have trickled down to our generation. Every Thanksgiving, we have lumpia, and things like that," the singer said in an interview with Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) in 2018.
