In his Facebook post, Christian shared some behind-the-scenes photos and detailed the light bulb moment when the idea of staging a virtual concert first came to him.

“WHEN APRIL AND MAY HAPPENED, I knew I had to do something. I cannot just simply do nothing.

“I phoned a friend. It so happened that Director Paolo Valenciano was feeling exactly the same thing.

“We had to do something. We wanted to continue creating unique musical experiences even (when) we were confined to our homes.”

Christian said that's when they partnered with Ibba Bernardo from i am Cardboard, who had been producing virtual reality content for years.

He pitched the concept to GMA bosses and fortunately they liked it and wanted to do it for Alden's 10th year anniversary concert. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Christian's wife, Kat Ramnani, congratulated him on her IG story by saying, “Super Congratulations (heart emoji) Excited to see all your hard work tomorrow when Alden's Reality launches. Developing ang co-producing a VR concert amidst 2020 and its challenges. @xtianbautista @paolovalenciano @ibbara”

'Alden's Reality' will be streamed today December 8, can be viewed worldwide at different time slots starting at 9 P.M. Philippine time.
