This past weekend, Olivia Rodrigo performed for the largest audience of her career at Philippine Arena in Bulacan on Saturday, 5 October, in front of a 55,000 capcity crowd. The concert was part of her whirlwind GUTS World Tour.
“Been dreaming of this show for a whileeeee," Rodrigo wrote on social media. "My first time in the Philippines and also my biggest venue ever! Thank you to everyone Manila for welcoming me so generously and making me feel so loved.”

Beyond the career milestone, Olivia (who is part Filipina) also gave back to a community that means a lot her by donating all net proceeds of the show to Jhpiego, a non-profit that provides medical services to women and girls in the Philippines. The organization also focuses in efforts in other countries such as Tunisia, Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria, and Thailand.
As we've reported, her GUTS stop in the country was a “silver star” gig, which means all tickets from across all sections were priced at P1,500 and all profits went to Olivia’s charitable fund 4 good, which is a "global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health and freedom.”
Besides her genrous contribution, Olivia also took time out from her busy schedule to visit Jhpiego's headquarters in the Philippines to meet with their hardworking staff.
“I’m SO stoked that all the net ticket sales from last night could be donated to Jhpiego through my fund 4 good,” the popstar shared. “I got to visit the organization while I was in Manila and was so impressed by the work they are doing providing healthcare to women and girls in the Philippines.”
