Gary Valenciano: Back to the beginning with concert ‘Pure energy: One More Time’
The roar of the crowd, the blinding stage lights, the pulse-pounding energy – Gary Valenciano thrives in this environment. After a series of sold-out “One Last Time” shows earlier this year, the iconic Filipino singer is returning to the stage for “One More Time” this December. But this isn’t just another concert. This time, he’s going back to where it all started.
Forty years ago, a young Gary Valenciano held his first major solo concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Now, he’s set to make a triumphant return to this legendary venue, ready to ignite the stage with his signature blend of musical mastery and showmanship.
