MANILA, Philippines – Singer Jack Jones arrived in Manila on Sunday, December 27, for his two-night concert at the Kia Theatre and at the Novotel, both in Cubao, on December 29 and 30, respectively.
Filipino singers Jose Mari Chan and Gerphil Flores will join Jack's concerts, titled "Jack Jones Sings Songs From The Heart."
This is the first time Jack will spend time in the Philippines during the Christmas season. "I heard that Filipinos are one of the best in celebrating this time of the year,” he said in a press release for his concerts.

In the press release, Jack said he was very excited to come to the country to perform.
“It is always a pleasure performing to the Filipino audience because of their love for music. There’s a lot of great singers as well so it’s like one sing-along party whenever I’m on stage trying to listen to them,” he said.
Jack will perform his famous songs, including tracks from his new album Seriously Frank, in which he pays tribute to Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday.
Part of the proceeds of the concert will be donated to Kaagapay ng Tagapagligtas Incorporated, a non-stock, non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for the benefit of the orphans and dependents of the SAF 44, the elite cops who died in pursuit of high-profile terrorists in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.
