It all started with a vision he had in 2008.
The OPM icon shares the story that led to his decision to headline what will be his final arena show, ‘Pure Energy: One Last Time,’ on April 26 and 27 at the Mall of Asia Arena. With stage direction by Paolo Valenciano and musical direction by Mon Faustino, the two-night concert will celebrate his 40 years in the industry. Proceeds of the show will go to the Valenciano family’s advocacy, the Shining Light Foundation.
“It wasn’t because my sugar level was low and I was fully conscious because it’s so vivid that I can tell you in detail what that vision was. That vision will be shared in this concert. It won’t just be shared, but people will also see what I saw that hopefully, would make them go, ‘Okay, we understand now why it’s the last time of this scale.’
“If this is the last major concert, what are the songs that I need to do, what are the non-negotiables? Sana Maulit Muli, Take Me Out of the Dark, Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos, Warrior is a Child, Hataw Na. While we were looking at , I just went wow, and Angeli came to hug me,” he further recalled of the scene that got captured by son and perennial concert director, Paolo Valenciano, in a photo shared on social media.
That vision would stay with him even after his 10-night, sold-out concert series “Gary V: Back At The Museum” in 2023. “I know, it’s gonna be emotional for me. I remember when I went to watch Regine Velasquez’s ‘Regine Rocks,’ pagpasok ko sa MOA Arena, I heard the people and had this feeling na talagang you’re gonna give all of these up?
“Then she went like, ‘Sir, I understand.’ I don’t even know this person, she understands that to come out there and be Mr. Pure Energy, it is not just all this , it’s also about . And it’s also the music that you hear on your own that doesn’t have me there, but my music is there, and that’s part of the whole pure energy image.”
“That’s the time now. But if next year, let’s say 2025, and you say, oh, na-miss namin yung ‘One Last Time,’ dapat mag-repeat kayo. Ay no, you missed your time . “This is just my way of giving back and saying, look if you wanna go on the journey, it continues after this. But it’s up to you, you can come with me, I’d love to have you with me but there’s more to come.”
