"I'd like to think that, in whatever language, music just transcends every man-made barrier," she began. "There's one Filipino song that I've just been loving to perform called 'Payapang Daigdig,' which just basically means 'peaceful world.' [The] musician, named Felipe de Leon, was looking out on the city of Manila after World War II and it's about finding peace and quiet and hope amidst chaos and devastation. And it's one of the most beautiful Christmas songs of any language."

Salonga went on: "As someone who acts for a living, it just feels like such a gift to be here in this incredible space, this incredible venue with all of these musicians. The kindness that we have been met with at every step, and that is remarkable. Everyone -- members of the crew, the members of the choir, the little kids that get to dance, just everyone."
