This hint has left fans in the Philippines eagerly awaiting further announcements, sparking speculation about a potential Manila tour date.
The Fil-Am artist, renowned for chart-topping hits like “Traitor” and “Vampire,” has expressed her desire to tour the Philippines, a sentiment she recently shared in an interview with Rolling Stone last year. In the interview, Rodrigo effusively praised the warmth and hospitality of Filipinos, stating, “People there are so welcoming and hospitable and awesome. Filipino people ride for other Filipino people.”
Rodrigo’s connection to her Filipino heritage has been a recurring theme in her public persona. In a 2018 interview with the Center for Asian American Media, she shared insights into her family’s Filipino traditions, including the preparation of Filipino cuisine like lumpia.
Stay tuned for further updates as the excitement builds and Rodrigo’s musical journey ventures ever closer to home.
