The Black Eyed Peas hyped up thousands of their fans at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday night, with the arena turned into an all-night party filled with nostalgia, surprise collaborations, and Filipino pride.
Will.i.am, Taboo, and Apl.de.Ap opened the high-energy concert with non-stop hits, including Let’s Get It Started, Boom Boom Pow, and Rock That Body.
To continue the energy they are getting from the crowd, Black Eyed Peas added thrill when they invited their special guests on stage. J Rey Soul, who joined “The Voice of the Philippines” and is a longtime collaborator of the group, stepped in to do the lines once sung by Fergie, and the crowd cheered.
Apl.de.Ap surprised the crowd by welcoming Sandara Park to perform 2 Proud, a song that showcases their Filipino roots and undeniable chemistry. The audience went wild when rapper EZ Mil came out to join Apl.de.Ap to perform Bebot; both artists wore traditional barongs, a fitting homage to their heritage.
It was not just about the concert but also about A-list celebrity sightings.
Among the stars who were seen in attendance were Andrea Brillantes, Ashton, Analain Salvador, Maja Salvador with husband Rambo Nuñez, Barbie Imperial, and Robbie Jaworski.
