Aside from the singer-songwriter’s concert, Rodrigo shared that she also had the chance to visit a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing healthcare to women.

“I got to visit the organization while I was in Manila and was so impressed by the work they are doing providing healthcare to women and girls in the Philippines,” she said. “It was the most special show and the most meaningful trip. to say I’m grateful doesn’t even cut it! Mahal kita (I love you).”
