It was lifted up on my shoulders and at the same time sobrang surreal, ayaw ko matapos yung gabi kasi not every artist has the chance to be able to stage their own solo concert sa Araneta and to have it be sold out means so much,” he told <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com"><strong>PUSH</strong></a>.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7n042ZpTN_/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A679984.5%2C%22ls%22%3A14223.70000000298%2C%22le%22%3A14240.09999999404%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="854" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>He added, “Grabe po talaga and it’s so overwhelming.
