It's another dream come true for Charice as she revealed that she will be holding her very first solo concert this coming June and it will be in the Philippines.

In an exclusive interview with abs.cbnNEWS.com, Charice finally shared some of the details of her concert that is set to be held at the Araneta Coliseum on 27th of June.

"Okay, so ito na ‘yon . Kung ano ang kabado ko sa Mandalay (for David Foster & Friends Live in Concert), doble ang kaba ko dito dahil sa solo concert ko ito. Banggitin mo pa lang 'yong Araneta Coliseum parang hindi na naman ako makapaniwala dahil dati pangarap ko lang mag-concert sa Araneta Coliseum so iniisip ko noon na hindi magkakatotoo. Ngayon at a young age, magkakaroon na ako ng sariling concert sa Araneta sa young age na ito," she said.

The YouTube sensation admitted that she does not have time for long rehearsals but vowed to give all her best to make the concert worth watching.

"Baka mag-start ako two weeks before the concert kasi, may recording ako sa States so mahirap talaga ang schedule. Actually siningit ko lang ang rehearsal so kahit maiksi ay araw-arawin ko lang ang pagre-rehearse," explains Charice.

Charice said that people will be entertained with unexpected numbers she is set to perform.

"Kung ano ang mga hindi pa nakikita ng mga tao dati, dito nila makikita. Like 'yong mga songs, sanay sila sa akin na parang ballad, dito iba naman. Dito makikita nila 'yong dance power ko, iiwanan ko muna 'yong Jackson move, medyo Justin Timberlake. Mayroon din akong songs na pang-young, pang-teenagers naman para di ma-OP [out of place] tapos mga OPM [Original Pinoy Music] hits, ‘yong mga old songs at  mayroong abangan na isang super intermission number," Charice hinted.

Asked if an international star will grace her concert, Charice was evasive and replied: "Kinda."

Charice also shared that her mentor international composer-musician David Foster will not be present for her first concert.

Dubbed as 'the most talented girl in the world' by top celebrity and talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Charice said she is happy to share her talent with the needy. She said proceeds of her concert will go to Bantay Bata 163.
