Jessica Sanchez returned to the Big Dome in Quezon City for “Jessica Sanchez Live in Manila” with a grateful heart, thanking Filipinos, whom she called some of her biggest supporters, for making her comeback possible.
She opened the concert with her “America’s Got Talent” golden buzzer song “Beautiful Things.”

“I wouldn’t be here without you guys,” she said on stage Saturday. “There are times in my life I wanted to give up. Right before AGT actually. For you guys to spend money and on me it means the world to me. I would not be in this position without you guys. And my Savior Jesus Christ.”
Joining Sanchez on stage were some of the biggest OPM icons—including Concert King Martin Nievera, Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez, and Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano.
“I am proud of my Filipino roots. Last time I had a concert like this was when I was 16. Here too. To do it in the Philippines is everything. My roots run deep. These Filipino songs I used to hear from my grandmother, these were some of her favorites,” she explained.

Sanchez also performed duets with the new generation of Pinoy talents such as James Reid, Morissette, and Darren.
Her most special guest, however, was her 6-month-old daughter, whom she brought onstage during “Two Lines,” a song she wrote for her.
