Shawn Mendes tours Philippines ahead of concert
MANILA, Philippines – Canadian singer Shawn Mendes shared that he visited tourist destinations in the Philippines ahead of his concert.
At the press conference on Friday, Shawn, who is here in the country for the first time, said that he visited Tagaytay City, Taal Volcano and Balete Falls in Amadeo, Cavite, among others.
Shawn shared that he enjoyed the falls, which he described as “beautiful.” He also shared some of his travel photos in his Instagram account.
In some of his photos, he was seen smiling with Filipino children.
“It was a beautiful spot. We’re literally really driving through the bay and we drove into the woods and then it opened up to a beautiful waterfall,” Shawn told the members of the press.
“There’s a bunch of kids up there and we jumped off the waterfall and [went] swimming. It was really nice,” he said.
The 18-year-old international sensation shared he loved the view of Manila Bay from his hotel room. He said the bay view got him inspired and allowed him to write two to three songs.
Asked if he’d love to have a vacation here in the future, Shawn said he is looking forward to it and would love to return to Taal Volcano and nearby tourist spots.
“I’d love to vacation here…I’d like to spend more time [in Taal], maybe next time we come by,” he said.
Aside from the tourist places, Shawn complimented the people. He said the fans are hardcore in a good way. He also described Filipinos as “American-sounding,” cited that the locals speak good English.
“You guys are actually nice here,” Shawn said.
“It’ really s great and the people are amazing and the fans are loud,” the singer said of his stay.
Shawn is set to perform at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday evening. He said he cannot wait to play for his fans.
