WATCH: Lea Salonga performs ‘Wicked,’ ‘Les Mis’ hits at ‘World-class Filipina’ event

Mark Fredesjed R. Cristino

She also asks women to recognize the world-class Filipinas in themselves

MANILA, Philippines – Renowned singer, actress, and musical mentor Lea Salonga brought the house down once more – fittingly, at an event thrown by haircare brand Cream Silk honoring the “World-class Filipina” Tuesday night, April 21. 

Lea sang “On My Own” from Les Miserables– originally sung by the character Eponine in the famous play in which Lea previously starred, on the international stage. 

 

She also sang “Defying Gravity,” a hit from the Broadway favorite Wicked

 

Lea asked women to recognize the world-class Filipinas in themselves. The event also honored the other Cream Silk ambassadors, including actresses Toni Gonzaga, Anne Curtis, and Heart Evangelista, and was attended by many strong women who excel in various fields, including ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, Rags 2 Riches co-founder Reese Fernandez-Ruiz, and the Binibining Pilipinas queens.  – Rappler.com

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story said that Lea sang a mash-up of “For Good” and “Defying Gravity.” She sang “Defying Gravity.” We regret the error.
