It was a testament to his evolution not only as an artist but as a courageous advocate for living authentically and embracing self-expression.

The concert opened with Ice performing his iconic hits, such as “Pagdating ng Panahon” and “Wag Na Lang Kaya.” His voice, still filled with the warmth and sincerity that fans had grown to love over the years, captivated the audience from the very first note.
