Jackson Wang took over the Araneta Coliseum stage last Sunday, November 2, for the Manila leg of his MAGICMAN 2 World Tour.

The global star delivered electrifying performances from start to finish, while sharing inspiring messages of hope and healing to his Filipino fans.

Jackson opened the show on a high note with “High Alone” as he literally floated in the air at the start. He also performed “Access” after.

“It's been a while in Manila. It's the first time we're bringing MAGICMAN Tour here,” he said before singing “Hate to Love”.

After putting on a sexy performance of his song “Shadows on the Wall,” Jackson invited four lucky fans on stage to witness the sultry performance of “Contact”.

Jackson also showcased his vocals with his slow and heartfelt songs like “Not For Me” and “Long Gone,” while he showed off his swaggy dance moves with the songs “BUCK,” “Let Loose,” and “TITANIC”.

The crowd also boasted their energy as they eagerly shouted back the lyrics to “GBAD”.

Meanwhile, an emotional and inspiring video concept was played in the middle of the concert, which highlighted Jackson's journey of healing and finding himself. He also had inspiring messages for his fans in the video.

“Hoping that you could take away not just the performance tonight but also thoughts that can give you a deem of light, hope, and encouragement when you are in your darkest days,” Jackson said in the video.

He added, “I wanna say I love you a lot. I care. I hope you can also find your true self, your honesty, your intuition by giving yourself enough time, effort, and enough love. Find your magic and live the magic.”

After the video, Jackson returned on stage to sing “Dear:” in front of a childhood photo of him with his parents. He also sang “Sophie Ricky,” titled after the name of his parents.

“I'm blessed that I can have the opportunity to share my story, that's why I kept saying thank you,” Jackson said.

“Life is so hard, and sometimes we all want to be perfect. And every single day we wake up with social media, with so many information. A lot of the times we lose ourselves, we don't know who we are anymore. A lot of the times we're following what's relevant, what's trendy, but deep down, a lot of the times, you don't really give a f*ck. And I feel like a lot of the times, selfish is not a bad thing, and feeling not okay is okay. Why the f*ck do we have to feel okay all the time? That's why I'm saying, live the magic. Whatever happened to you, good and bad, that made you who you are today,” he continued.
