Ebe also promised he will try to join more relief operations. “Though we're all stuck at home, this will not be the last time I'll be doing this. There are more causes that I want to support, so, just give me time and I'll go a whole hour next time.”

Ebe performed “Tulog Na” for his final song of the night.
“Hanngang sa muli, Pilipinas kong mahal. Mag-ingat po, at pangako, magkikita-kita tayo ulit dito soon. God bless you.” he said as he ended the Facebook live.
