MANILA, Philippines – It was a night to remember for Filipino Directioners, who finally got to see One Direction live in concert Saturday, March 21, the first night of their 2-night Manila show. 

The boys, who arrived earlier in the day without 5th member Zayn Malik, who earlier pulled out of the tour due to stress, to the dismay of many fans. Still, the group charged on ahead to deliver an energetic show despite the rain.
