Randy Santiago, Ms. Pilita Corrales & Arnel Pineda Featured in David Foster & Friends Manila Concert

During the David Foster & Friends Manila Concert last Oct. 23, 2010, David - true to his word, did come down the stage to listen to some of the audience and gave 30 seconds to those 'brave enough' to sing for/to him.
There were a couple of ladies who coincidentally were both named 'George' (one from the Patrons section, the other - at the lower box), a lady named "Maria" and 3 young ladies in their teens (who sang a Trio version of "Pyramid"!), all to the delight of David.
Among the crowd were celebrities: Randy Santiago, Ms. Pilita Corrales and Arnel Pineda - who gamely sang ditties to the delight of the crowd and David Foster himself.
From 'reliable sources', the DFF Concert somehow brought back the 'Glory Days' of Araneta Coliseum even for just an evening - as it has been a long time since the General Patronage and Upper Box sections were SRO (Standing Room Only), with additional seats added to the lower box & Patron sections to accommodate ticket demands at the box office that night.
And not to mention the hearty Standing Ovation the audience gave the performers, most specially to 'Our Very Own' CHARICE, and to the whole cast during the final Curtain Call. (Standing Ovations being a rare occurrence if at all, given the reserved demeanor of the 'Filipino Audience' in showing appreciation during concerts of this nature.)
Truly a Memorable Night it was at the Araneta Coliseum. One that won't easily be forgotten... and shall be cherished for a long time to come by those who were there that evening of the 23rd of October 2010.

Western performers doesn’t need any paid guest performers. Just pull Filipinos out from the crowd. Filipinos are so talented.

Iba ang culture ng pinoy na sa atin lang matatagpuan ng mga dayuhan at iyan ay nakatatak sa kanilang mga isipan. Iba ang pinoy saan mang sulok ng mundo pinoy proud talaga ipinag mamalaki ng mga employer, kahit mga hari ng ibang mga bansa pinoy ang pinag ka katiwalian nila ng lahat. ❤❤❤ Complete package tyo very much talented all around wika nga. Kya iniiyakan tyong ng mga dayuhan kapag natapos ang contrata ng trabaho etc... Imagine hinahanap tayo sa ating mga provensya kapag nagustuhan nila tayo. Karanasan namin mag asawa yan at pinaiikot pa kami sa mga lugar na free ang lahat. kaya dapat mapag titiealaan tyo at maasahan yan ang tatak ng isang pinoy. 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺❤️❤️❤️

wow ang idol ng pinoy randy santiago 12 years ago now ko lng nkita tong video n to

[@vlademirajarep8110]

wow Pilita's voice is incomparable!

[@392redienhcs]

I was there. Pilita brought down the house with that impromptu rendition and the feeling of nationalism was amazing. Here's one of us standing tall, showing DF the pinnacle of Filipino OPM. Meanwhile, what you can't hear is that when Randy Santiago got called up, the whole crowd was chanting, "Babaero, babaero!"

[@dreymamaril5433]

Galing ni madam pilita.naalala ko tuloy lola ko.pag matutulog na kami ng gabi pinakakanta muna namin sya habang nakahiga na kami.miss you nanay.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Aside from being a wonderful person and an icon in music, the genius David Foster has also the knack to make this audience participation portion more enjoyable and entertaining to the delight of the whole crowd. All the talented participants delivered beautifully and amazingly. No doubt it's the most enjoyable and memorable night for all Filipino audience. I can feel it myself.

Pilita Corales sang her song with all those perfect notes even if she's in a hurry and in fast pace beacuse of the limited time. Not only Charice and Arnel made us proud in this BUT Pilita Corales impressed David Foster big time and those American musicians.

[@magiecanlas9090]

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful vid !! Mr. Foster is a genius ! And the singers from the audience are great ! What an experience for them !!?!!

[@shellagarlitos4660]

Pilita Corrales, hands down! Amazing

[@hopeyalikeit4920]

[@TedO]

You're Welcome, Y'All! ...mine pleasure too, Totally. Pardon though for the 'quality' of the video, as the HD cam we specifically brought for this event CONKED OUT (batt. issues) as we had to cover an event the afternoon of the concert... sigh. Thank GOD Lantao's cam wasn't confiscated at the gates, LOL! (GREAT vids, Lantao! Cheers!) A couple of our friends' were, actually! sheeesh. (Araneta 'forces' were quite 'strict' with the frisking. One really had to be 'creative' to 'get through'. hehe.
