Gary Valenciano shares touching story before ending his concert | PEP Hot Story - video Dailymotion

"Gary, it's okay to stop."   Ito ang mensaheng natanggap ni Gary Valenciano sa vision ng aniya'y kanyang  spiritual encounter sa Diyos   noong 2008.   Ibinahagi niya ang kuwentong ito sa kanyang One More Time concert na ginanap sa Araneta Coliseum, Biyernes ng gabi, December 20, 2024.  Ipinaliwanag ni Gary na hindi ibig sabihin ay ihihinto na niya ang kanyang musical career.   Bagamat aminado siyang posibleng huling malakihang concert na niya ang One More Time, maaari pa rin naman daw siyang gumawa ng smaller scale concerts.   Idiniin niya na patuloy siya sa paggamit ng talentong ibinigay sa kanya ng Panginoon na siyang daan upang makapagbigay ng inspiration at healing sa ibang tao.   At patuloy din daw siyang magtitiwala sa Panginoon kung anuman ang plano nito para sa kanya.   Pagkatapos ng mensahe niyang ito, kinanta ni Gary ang kanyang finale song na Take Me Out Of The Dark.   Hindi natapos ni Gary ang concert dahil mayroon siyang sakit.   Ilang beses daw siyang nagsuka bago nagsimula ang concert at muntik nang hindi tumuntong ng stage.   Ito ang dahilan kung bakit bahagyang na-delay ang concert na nagsimula ng 9:15 PM.   Pero hanggang sa huli ay pinilit niyang mag-perform para sa fans, lalo na raw sa mga nanggaling pa ng ibang bansa para lamang mapanood siya.  Ani Gary, pinili niyang kantahin ang mga kantang alam niyang titimo sa puso ng mga manonood.   Kabilang dito ang "Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos?" at "The Warrior is A Child."  Malugod itong tinanggap ng audience na sumigaw na naiintindihan nila ang sitwasyon ni Gary, at hindi isyu na napaiksi concert.  Natapos ang concert bandang 10:20PM.  #garyv #mrpureenergy #garyvalenciano  Video: Rachelle Siazon with clip courtesy of Tad Payomo Edit: Rommel Llanes  Subscribe to our YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@pep_tv  Read the latest in showbiz at http://www.pep.ph  Watch more videos at https://www.pep.ph/videos  Follow us!

00:00I just, I just feel I have to do at least this one song which explains why this

00:09whole concert was originally called Pure Energy One last time.

00:15Gusto ko lang i-clarify na hindi ako mag-re-retire.

00:21Hindi, hindi. May hindi mangyayari mo.

00:26But there's a reason why I called it One Last Time.

00:31And I'm glad that I get to do it now kasi dun sa isang concert, it was the last song.

00:37So habang ine-explain ko yung mga iba ko maalis na.

00:40But since you're all here, can I explain why?

00:44Why it was called One Last Time and why it's now called One More Time.

00:49Basically a repeat of the last time.

00:53Um, yeah, let's do this.

00:57Stay with me on this.

00:59Now let me take you back to November 14 and 15 of 2008.

01:04I was celebrating my 25th anniversary here at the Araneta and the problem was

01:09wala akong boses nun for both nights.

01:13That on the morning of the second show, November 15,

01:17I had to wake Angeli up and with barely any voice to speak, I said,

01:22Ani, you have to pray for me. I have no voice left.

01:28And all I remember dun sa prayer niya were the first few words because

01:33that's when it began.

01:36Her voice started to fade away into the background but only to usher in

01:41this vision.

01:43Now, a God-given vision is usually meant to symbolize something in the future

01:48that is going to take place.

01:51Well, friends, that future is now.

01:55So, in this vision, I saw myself walking at night toward the direction

02:00of the horizon and I also knew that I wasn't walking alone

02:04kasi there was this bright source of light on the corner of my eye

02:08that enveloped me in so much peace.

02:12The kind that transcended all my understanding, that it was undoubtedly

02:17the God that you have often heard me speak about.

02:22And after walking with Him for a bit, I stopped in my tracks.

02:27Then I heard Him say,

02:30It's okay, Gary. It's okay to stop and look back.

02:34And so I did look back and you know what I saw?

02:37Like playing suspended up in the air?

02:40It was the concert the night before, yung November 14.

02:44Then I looked back at the horizon that now looked like a new day had begun.

02:50And I started walking again.

02:53Then again I stopped.

02:55And again I heard Him say,

02:57Gary, it's okay to stop.

03:00You can stop and look back.

03:02But now when you do, I want you to take your time.

03:07And so I did look back.

03:10And this time what I saw was the concert the night before

03:14and every other concert I had done

03:17from the beginning of my then 25-year-old career.

03:22And when I stood there, amazed at the sight,

03:25I heard His tender voice once more saying,

03:29It was fun, no?

03:33And with tears welling up in my eyes, I nodded and whispered my answer,

03:38Yeah, it was.

03:40And you know, He can actually hear my heart right now saying,

03:45And I'm gonna miss this Lord, all of this.

03:49But then He said, There's more.

03:52But it's that way, pointing toward the horizon.

03:56But the horizon was empty and there was nothing in it.

04:00And part of my mind was saying, But there's nothing there, Lord.

04:05My heart, however, knew that He who knows what's out there,

04:10He was standing right here beside me.

04:13And He had no intention of ever leaving me.

04:17And then He said,

04:19It may not be as grand, Gary, but it will be fulfilling.

04:24Maybe even more fulfilling than the past.

04:29He then folded His arms, leaned forward, and then asked me,

04:33So, you wanna go?

04:36And I just nodded and started walking that horizon with Him once more.

04:43Friends, doing things like this has never been easy.

04:48I want more now, in this season of my 60th year of life.

04:54It's tiring.

04:56But, there is a calling, a leading,

05:01that is energizing me to go deeper into the spirit of uplifting,

05:05encouraging, and inspiring many more now than ever before.

05:10And for as long as this heart beats,

05:13that is what I will do.

05:17I've given you my all,

05:20as I've consistently tried to do so in every performance I've given you in the past.

05:26All meant to move you right here.

05:30And this is how I wish I'd be remembered.

05:35I know it sounds like a drama, but hey look,

05:38it's the final page of a chapter that's being written here right now.

05:43But it's not the final page of the book.

05:46And me, I'm gonna walk into that great empty horizon

05:50with its challenges and its victories.

05:52With each step taken, it will be taken with energy,

05:56with hope, by faith,

05:59and wholeheartedly trusting Him,

06:02the source of all my pure energy.
