Before Christian sang, he told Kylie: “We’re very, very proud of you and we’re expecting a lot, of course, because you are now an icon. And we love you and we’re behind you. There are so many things going on in this country.”
Earlier on the same day was the burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’ Cemetery).
Protesters have taken to the streets to air their views on the late dictator’s burial at the LNMB, and many stars have spoken out as well.
Kylie replied to Christian: “I do want to give the message of hope. I do want to bring happiness to the Philippines.”
