"Where do I even start… my first concert. Thank u to my fans (or as I call you, my babylatz) for making this dream come true. a quick backstory:

"A week before the concert, I hit rock bottom. I was rushed to the hospital for gastroesophageal complications, and while waiting for results, I had a PTSD episode, reliving the trauma of my last surgery. 

"What followed were days of relentless panic attacks—hours of shaking, crying, and feeling completely out of control. My therapist diagnosed me with a severe panic disorder, which spiraled into lung issues, leaving my body and mind disoriented.

"I thought I couldn’t do it. I’d show up to rehearsals only to leave because my hands and feet went numb. At one point, I had to be rescued from my own home just to get medication to calm me down. I felt as though my dream was slipping through my fingers.

"But during one dance rehearsal, everything shifted. The energy and faith of my dancers lit a fire in me. I pushed through the pain, got my voice back, memorized the choreo in just three days, and slowly found my way back.

"This concert was more than a performance—it was a fight to get my life back. I couldn’t have done it without the people who carried me through. Thank u for believing in me when I couldn’t believe in myself.

"@johnvince thank u for putting this together despite the time difference and distance. @actuallynotrome thank u for taking care of my wellbeing. @bianca.pesos thank you for your mind and heart, into making the best concert fits with @h0ndababy @_carissaking @in.my.imajination . @grandpagabo thank you for the best hair and energy i could ever ask for. my dance coaches @mackyquiobe & @airon_jazz thank you for being patient with me and bringing a smile to my face everytime we spend together, and for bringing the best dancers and ideas to the stage. my music directors @ladieschoi @errolapacible & band leader @aubreyalamani thank you for creating the best direction my music has ever sounded. for putting my safety first and your endless consideration. my concert openers @domguyot16 @itsdenyph @laraandallo and @rnbjayr for your passion and talent. @melodyhodgson for taking care of my voice.

"Thank you so much to @oneentph for making this concert a reality. To my all-girl band, who proved that girls truly do it better, and my dancers, who kept me going when I felt like giving up—you are my strength. To my friends who are my chosen family, who stayed by my side through sleepless nights, laughter, tears, and everything in between. 

"To @madeindvn for making sure I sound the best on stage. To @seanamador and the documentation team for capturing these moments, and to every staff member, runner, driver, and security person who made this happen—thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"This concert wasn’t just a show—it saved me. This year has been one of the hardest of my life. I’ve faced heartbreak, crippling anxiety, and days where I couldn’t even show up for myself. Socializing felt impossible, and I constantly questioned if I was on the right path. 

"There were times I’d miss opportunities or back out on things because of anxiety attacks that left me battling with my own mind. I’d sit for hours staring at the wall, reminding myself to breathe, to gather the strength to get through the day.

"But this night reminded me of my purpose. You reminded me. You proved that I’m not alone, and as long as I have you, I can keep going. I love you all endlessly. Thank you for everything."
