Olivia Rodrigo's Manila concert to benefit nonprofit group

By Manila Times - 2 months ago

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino-American pop star Olivia Rodrigo named the beneficiary of the proceeds from the ticket sales of her "Silver Star Show" concert on Saturday night.

In an Instagram story, Rodrigo said the nonprofit organization Jhpiego Philippines was "dedicated to improving the health and lives of women and girls in the Philippines, especially in underserved and conflict-affected areas."

Rodrigo, 21, has held several "Silver Star Shows" throughout her tour. This show differed from her regular performances as the ticket was priced at P1,500 (including taxes), with all net proceeds going to Rodrigo's "Fund 4 Good."

The Philippine Arena, the world's largest indoor arena, has a maximum seating capacity of 55,000.

Rodrigo arrived in the Philippines on the afternoon of October 3 and immediately indulged in the local dessert halo-halo (iced mixed fruit), which she showed in her Instagram story.

The following day, she, along with her family and boyfriend, British actor Louis Partridge, explored Intramuros, where they were spotted biking and enjoying the historic site.

The couple was also spotted having dinner at a restaurant in Makati City. Following their meal, Rodrigo and Partridge took pictures with fans.

Rodrigo, known for hits like "drivers license," "deja vu," "vampire," "traitor," and "good 4 u," has won three Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, seven Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards.

She was named Time's Entertainer of the Year in 2021 and Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2022. Additionally, she earned the title of "Songwriter of the Year" at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards twice, in 2022 and 2024.
