KZ Tandingan says TJ Monterde is her inspiration to never give up on dreams.
OPM singer TJ Monterde successfully concluded his three-day 'sarili nating mundo' concert on Monday, February 3, at the Araneta Coliseum.
He was joined by fellow OPM artists like Maki, Adie, BINI Colet, Arthur Nery, and his wife KZ Tandingan who took so much pride in TJ's successful concert.
KZ joined TJ on stage and performed the official engagement anthem, “Palagi.”
After singing her heart out onstage, KZ shared a heartfelt message with TJ and thanked the fans who supported her husband.
“Maraming-maraming salamat po for choosing to be with TJ these past two days. Hindi po kayo nagkamali sa taong susuportahan niyo,” said KZ.
“Kasi, kung gaano po siya ka-generous on stage, sa puso niya, kung paano siya magkwento sa inyo, kung paano siya nag-i-inspire, nag-e-encourage sa inyo na nanonood ngayon, ganoon na ganoon din siya off stage.”

KZ also noted how proud she is of TJ for not giving up on his dreams as a singer-songwriter.
“This person is an example of God's testament… Kaya Niyang i-compress [ang] time, kaya Niyang ibigay 'yung lahat ng mga pangarap mo sa isang [iglap]. Sobra akong grateful that I get to witness that every single day for the rest of our lives,” she said.
With the incredible success story of TJ Monterde, KZ said that he is her inspiration.
“TJ is my inspiration kasi as an artist I also feel like I'm in my season of waiting and that sometimes I feel like it's time to just throw it all out and give up on music and on everything,” said KZ.
“But every time I wake up [in] the morning and I look to my left, I see this man, and I am reminded that a few years ago, he was ready to give up, but he chose to fight and in less than a year, he is now one of the most streamed artists in the Philippines. He is the first male solo act to sell out Araneta Coliseum three nights in a row.”
At the end of her speech, KZ expressed her love for TJ and said she is “excited to share 10 more lifetimes” with the OPM singer.
“On behalf of all of us [...] thank you for reminding me that dreams really do come true. I love you so much,” KZ closed her speech, “I love you so much. I never imagined that I could love you even more after 10 years of being together and I'm excited to share 10 more lifetimes with you.”
