He also mentioned that he and Jeon have been planning to share the stage for quite some time.Santos will take a moment to honor Nora Aunor and Cocoy Laurel — two artists who have significantly influenced his journey.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/16/nora-aunor-superstar-of-philippine-cinema-passes-away-2329">Nora Aunor, superstar of Philippine cinema, passes away</a></div>He fondly recalled a brief encounter with Laurel during &quot;Miss Saigon&quot; in Manila, describing him as “kind and underrated.” As for Aunor, he has always wanted to collaborate with her, and paying tribute to her on stage is his way of celebrating her lasting impact.“Of course I’ve been wanting to work with Ate Guy for such a long time, pero unfortunately hindi na po nangyari. But now, gusto kong magbigay ng tribute sa kanya… I’m a fan of Ms. Nora Aunor, kaya she deserves a tribute,” he expressed.The concert also carries a mission of compassion for the benefit of the Good Samaritan Foundation by the Mary Mediatrix Medical Center and the Courage Movement, continuing Santos’s advocacy of using music as a force for good.Looking to the future, Santos expressed his desire to produce more hit songs and create a legacy film that future generations will cherish.He also shared his heartfelt gratitude for what he called a “very good” 2025, marking his third concert this year, along with various other projects and the nearing completion of his family home.“Very good ang 2025 kasi… pangatlo kong concert ‘to. Tapos may mga projects pa ako on the side na nagawa. Sobrang blessed itong 2025… I&#x27;m really content,” he said.
