Lea Salonga Thanks U2 In Post on Her FB Account
LEA SALONGA – Lea Salonga thanked U2 for featuring her as among the women’s icon during their concert at the Philippine Arena.
The Irish Rockband U2 visited the Philippines for their “Joshua Tree Tour.” Their concert was held at the Philippine Arena. Days before their show, frontman Bono and the rest of the band were spotted dining at famous restaurants on Makati.
He also led the launching of the first-ever blood delivery service in the Philippines. He’s the board member of the drone service Zipline that team up with the Philippine Red Cross. Actress Angel Locsin went to the event to show support to the vocalists’ advocacy.
During their concert, they asked the concertgoers to pray for the volunteers, activists, and journalists. “Also in our prayers, let’s keep the journalist, the truth-tellers, the activists who keep this country spiritually safe. We salute you. Truth tellers, everyday heroes. Let’s see our lights, let’s see out starts in the middle of the sky,” he said.
They also paid tribute to the Filipinas who “re-write history” like former president Corazon Aquino, Rappler CEO Maria Ressa, singer Lea Salonga and Senator Pia Cayetano. Their faces were displayed on a massive screen while playing the song “Ultra Violet.”
On Thursday, Lea Salonga took to social media to express her gratitude to the U2 band for including her in the tribute during their concert.
“Woke up this morning to at least ten messages with photos because my photo was on the projection wall during U2’s Ultra Violet. Wow, I am dead. Thank you for those messages, friends, and thank you, U2 for including me! Honored,” Lea wrote.
Lea Salonga’s Facebook post flooded with positive reactions from the netizens. Here are some of their comments on the post:
@R.J. Santos: “Well-deserved of course.”
@Garlic Garcia: “You truly make us proud always Lea on a global stage”
@Edwin Santiago: “The way you speak up for the LGBTQ Community and our rights is truly brave and admirable and you deserve your spot on that wall”
