“This is my first time ever in this beautiful city,” Bazzi shares. He even said since he’s touring around Asia for two three weeks now. “I’ve only done two to three songs with you guys and I can already say that this might be my favorite stop on the tour so far.” He then played Cartier, which melted all of our hearts.

Bazzi even asked people to "Put your phone lights up" before he played his major hit single, Beautiful. He ended the sing by saying “Manila, thank you so much you are so beautiful!” After a quick intermission, he comes back on stage and raps "Bazzi's back, back again, guess who's back, guess who’s back, guess who's back" before breaking into solid rap.
