3 November 2025, Singapore – The Philippine Embassy in Singapore, led by Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. Joyleen E. Santos, warmly received the members of Filipino pop-rock band The Juans during their courtesy call in the morning of 3 November 2025. They were accompanied by Mr. Don and Ms. Lila Macapinlac of DLM Eventive, producer of the group’s Singapore concert.

The courtesy visit comes ahead of the band’s “TAWID Album Tour” concert in Singapore on Sunday, 16 November 2025, at SMU Hall, with an audience capacity of almost 1,000.

CDA Santos congratulated the band on their 10th anniversary and commended them for promoting Filipino talent globally and inspiring overseas Filipinos. She also highlighted the vital role of Filipino musicians in strengthening cultural bonds and community spirit among Filipinos overseas. 

The band members spoke about the inspiration behind their latest album TAWID, which reflects their evolution as artists and their journey of resilience, gratitude, and hope over the past ten years. They also shared their excitement to perform in Singapore and to celebrate their music with Juanistas and kababayans.

The group further shared that their visit in Singapore ahead of their concert has allowed them to connect with their audience, especially the diverse Filipino community in Singapore. Over the weekend, the group visited areas with strong Filipino presence such as Lucky Plaza, Marina Boulevard, Clarke Quay, and VivoCity, where they did not only perform for, but also immersed themselves in the experiences of overseas Filipinos. The Juans shared that they are also producing a three-part vlog titled “S.O.S. (Stories of Singapore)”, which will feature Filipinos from diverse backgrounds based in the city-state.

CDA Santos presented the band with copies of the Embassy-published book “Making a Mark at the Little Red Dot: Trailblazing Filipinos in Singapore”, which chronicles the achievements of overseas Filipinos in Singapore – a narrative that echo themes present in The Juans’ music and message.

Known for their hugot songs that deeply resonate with Filipino audiences, The Juans have built a loyal following for their heartfelt lyrics and emotional performances. Their music captures everyday human experiences like love, hope, and perseverance which have endeared them to listeners both in the Philippines and among Filipino diasporas worldwide.

The Juans’ Singapore concert is their first in Asia after having performed in the US, Canada and Dubai. Tickets for the 16 November 2025 concert are available at MyTicketSeats.com/the-juans/ END
