Dear Heart The Concert reunited one of the most adored love teams in the nation—Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion—back together on the Philippine concert stage, seemingly making the impossible possible.

There were a lot of emotions percolating last October 27 — and even in the days preceding up to the much-anticipated day. For thousands of admirers of Gabby Concepcion and Sharon Cuneta, Dear Heart The Concert was an unbelievable event that they eagerly anticipated and persevered to come true.

Fans of the two superstars filled the SM Mall of Asia Arena. An endearing film showcasing the team-up’s history launched the evening to thunderous applause, contagious enthusiasm, and a hint of anxious tension as soon as the lights went down. Fans were given glimpses into the story that was Sharon and Gabby’s lives behind the scenes by those who were close to the couple and saw their story come to life, such as veteran actress and Sharon’s aunt Helen Gamboa, Vic Del Rosario, the founder of Viva Communication, and their friends Zsa Zsa Padilla and Jackie Lou Blanco.

ShaGab graced the Philippine concert stage, belting out a collection of songs that defined their story on and off screen. Sharon Cuneta, resplendent in her white gown, began the evening with a moving rendition of Lani Hall’s “I Don’t Want You To Go”. Gabby Concepcion performed the timeless song “Kumusta Ka” by Nonoy Zuñiga on stage with Sharon.

Tonight, we will be Gabby and Sharon.

The popular love duo proceeded with the show, singing songs like “Kamusta Ka?” by Rey Valera, “P.S. I Love You” by Sharon Cuneta, and “Never Ever Say Goodbye” by Nonoy Zuñiga. The event was made more enjoyable by Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid, who joined ShaGab on stage for an interview and performances of “Nandito Ako” by Ogie Alcasid and “One More Try” by Kuh Ledesma.

Then, Sharon Cuneta performed a medley of official soundtracks from her projects, including “Maging Sino Ka Man,” “Kahit Konting Pagtingin,” “Pangako,” “Bituing Walang Ningning,” “Mahal Mo Pa Ba Ako,” “Ngayon at Kailanman,” and “Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas,” in honor of her works and the people she has collaborated with over the years, alongside Ogie Alcasid, Erik Santos, and Jeremy Glinoga.

When he performed “Mula Sa Puso,” “Iisa Pa Lamang,” “Ikaw Lang Ang Aking Mahal,” “Manila,” and “Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko,” Gabby Concepcion unleashed his inner performer.

Sharon then made a comeback to the stage, performing “Bakit Ikaw Pa Rin,” “Sa Hirap at Ginhawa,” and “Pati Ba Pintig Ng Puso.” She and Gabby were reunited in “Kung Kailangan Mo Ako”. When the two played “Dear Heart,” the official soundtrack of the film that launched ShaGab, nostalgia permeated the MOA Arena even more.

KC Concepcion, who also narrated the VCRs, joined her parents on stage, and warmth swept over the audience. The family’s reunion for the momentous occasion was touching, as it marked not only a turning point for the Philippine entertainment industry but also for Sharon, Gabby, and KC, who all confessed that they had hoped and prayed for it to happen.

We never stopped loving you. You were never the problem.

The mother-daughter duo sang “Ikaw” by Regine Velasquez before the trio performed “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” by Stevie Wonder. KC also sent her parents sincere messages expressing her appreciation and affection for them both. “Para po itong isang panaginip talaga. I was sitting with the audience and I just thanked God, I thanked the Lord na nagkaroon tayo ng time na ganito,” said KC.

You both are my Dear Heart.
