Christian Bautista, first time pupunta at magpe-perform sa Saudi Arabia

Pupunta si Christian Bautista sa Saudi Arabia ngayong Araw ng Kagitingan, April 7, para sa Bayanihan Festival 2017. Sponsored by GMA Pinoy TV, magpe-perform ang singer-actor sa Cobra Amusement Park in Dammam.

Ani Christian, "It's my first time in Saudi Arabia. It's a whole day event [titled 'Kagitingan, Bayanihan Susi sa Tunay na Kaunlaran], 10:30 ng umaga ako magpe-perform."

Ano-ano ang mga dapat i-expect sa kanyang performance?

Ika niya, "So, as usual, I'm gonna sing songs from my past albums. I'm gonna sing songs that will bring Filipinos [abroad] closer to the Philippines. I'm gonna sing old Filipino love songs, new ones as well. It's like GMA's way of entertaining our Kababayans there, reaching out to them, and reminding them that they are not forgotten. And will wanna connect sa kung ano'ng nangyayari sa Pilipinas. This is like our gift to them."

Very excited naman si Christian sa first trip niya sa Saudi. Aniya, "I like trips abroad. I like going to new places. So, this is something new. I like meeting Filipinos abroad as well."

Isa rin daw sa una niyang aalamin ay kung ano ang popular local delicacies sa bansa.
