MANILA, Philippines — “Thank you so much for making my dreams come true.”
That’s what British-Albanian pop star Dua Lipa said as she addressed thousands of her Filipino fans who braved the stormy Friday night to watch her self-titled concert.

Lipa said Filipino fans are dear to her and said described the concert as “amazing.”
After her concert, Lipa took to social media to thank her fans.
