Ice Seguerra Recalls Performance During Marawi Siege

Ice Seguerra had a memorable gig in Marawi

Singer Ice Seguerra recalled the performance that he did during the Marawi siege five years ago.

Ice has performed on various stages over the course of his career in the entertainment industry. From the time when he was a child star until now, he has already done a lot of memorable performances.

In his recent Instagram post, the singer shared this memorable stage he performed in. It was in Marawi. Along with other artists, Ice held a concert there.

“5 years ago, ilang buwan mula nang magsimula ang Marawi Siege, I, along with my wife Liza and friends Sitti, Cess, Frenchie, and Janice, with the assistance of Ms. Myrna Angot, went to the Provincial Capitol and around different evacuation centers to do mini concerts,” Ice Seguerra shared.

At that time, the center of Marawi was already cleared but there were still encounters in other parts. Ice revealed that while the concert was happening, they can still hear the sound of gunshots and bombs from a distance.

They had heavy security at that time and they weren’t allowed to stay in one place for a long time, especially when they were in Marawi. Ice admitted that they were afraid at that time but they stuck to their one goal.

“We wanted the displaced citizens of Marawi to have hope that what they were going through will soon end, that after hearing gunfire and bombs, musika, pagmamahal, at pagkakaisa pa rin ang mananaig,” he shared.

Ice also shared that as he remembered, they did four full shows in four different locations within a day. Their shows started early in the morning to avoid being there at night time for safety purposes.

What they did was tiring indeed but the smiles from the people who watched their performances wiped away the tiredness they felt and it is worth it. As singers, Ice Seguerra said that they just don’t give entertainment, they are also spreading inspiration to people.

“Make them believe that despite the circumstances, they can still look forward to a better tomorrow,” the singer added.
