ABS CBN News / Yahoo News Philippines:
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED/CORRECTED) – International singing sensation Charice will be performing with Aeta singing boy Arjohn Gilbert in her solo concert in December, not tonight during "The Hitman Returns: David Foster and Friends" as he had expected.
This was confirmed to abs-cbnNEWS.com by Gilbert’s manager, Joy Maranan.
“Ang sabi ni Charice, magpeperform si Gilbert sa December 2, sa major concert niya,” she said.
Maranan said Gilbert will attend tonight's concert at the Araneta Coliseum as a special guest.
Gilbert had told abs-cbnNEWS.com early Tuesday morning that he would be performing with Charice.
Gilbert had said he prepared for tonight's show to impress Charice as well as other international artists.
"Masaya po ako. Talagang sobrang saya. Parang hindi ako nakatulog sa excitement," Gilbert had said. He even attended voice and dance lessons for the concert.
Last August, Charice asked her fans to find the talented Aeta boy from Clark, Pampanga.
Charice invited Gilbert to perform with her after she saw a video of the latter singing Justin Bieber's hits.

MANILA, Philippines – International composer David Foster
said on Monday he can no longer produce songs for the Philippines'
singing sensation Charice since he will be moving from Warner Music to
Universal Records.
Charice and Foster both used to be under Warner Music
Foster said this in a press conference on the "Hit Man Returns: David
Foster & Friends" concert to be held at the Araneta Coliseum on
October 25.
However, Foster said he and Charice can still perform together in concert tours.
In the same press event, Charice said (s)he will always be there for Foster, who has stood as her mentor, no matter what happens.
Charice’s mom, Racquel Pempengco, also made it clear that her
daughter will continue to work with Foster even after the "Hit Man
Returns: David Foster & Friends" concert.
"Na-misinterpret lang 'yung sinabi ni David. Kasi magkakaroon nga
ulit ng bagong album at magso-solo tour si Charice," she told
abs-cbnNEWS.com.
Likewise, Pempengco added Charice can still work with the other artists featured in their upcoming concert if she has free time.
Charice, who arrived in Manila Monday afternoon for the October 25
concert, has a platinum award from Warner Philippines for selling 50,000
copies of her self-titled international album.
