Charice Pempengco, simply known as Charice, will hold her first solo concert this June 27, 2009 at the
Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines.
Due to her hectic schedule, she won't be able to prepare long for her concert, a mere two weeks, due to her recording in U.S. but she gave her fans an assurance that she will give all her best to make the concert a concert to watch.
Charice said that she will perform a lot of unexpected numbers - "Kung ano ang mga hindi pa nakikita ng mga tao dati, dito nila makikita. Like 'yong mga songs, sanay sila sa akin na parang ballad, dito iba naman. Dito makikita nila 'yong dance power ko, iiwanan ko muna 'yong Jackson move, medyo Justin Timberlake. Mayroon din akong songs na pang-young, pang-teenagers naman para di ma-OP tapos mga OPM hits, 'yong mga old songs at mayroong abangan na isang super intermission number."
(Rough translation: Stuffs that the people haven't seen yet, this time they will see it. Like for the songs, the people are used to hear me sing ballads, this time it'll be different. They will see my dance power, I will leave behind my Jackson move, kinda like Justin Timberlake. I also have songs for the young, for the teens so that they will not be out of place and then there will be OPM (Original Pilipino Music) hits, some old songs and please watch out for one super intermission number.)
She also hinted of an international star to grace her concert but said that David Foster will not be present.
The proceeds for the concert will go to Bantay Bata 163, a social welfare program of ABS-CBN specifically aimed towards children welfare.
