  I was 7 years old when I first saw the Staples Center in person. From that night I would literally say “I will perform in there One Day” everytime I passed by it. I knew it was near impossible but I repeatidly declared it a thousand times. After 10 years I moved back to the Philippines, and I passed by it again on the way to the airport leaving for Manila. I said, “Imma be back for you” I’ve grown to love and appreciate my homeland, language, and heritage deeply after moving back. I’m 22 now, and one of my personal goals as an artist is to be able to be part of that Generation that is able to bring OPM to the World Stage. I knew that I would forever be singing Tagalog songs still anywhere I go. 7 to 22 … I did not think this whole thing would happen. I dreamt of performing at Staples Center and being able to share the music from my homeland… It was a dream… Performed at Staples Center in celebration of Filipino Heritage Night for the Halftime of an NBA Game. ? I wanna thank the @laclippers and everyone who was part of making this night happen. ?? TIWALA lang talaga. #FilipinoHeritageNight ? : @sthanlee

  According to MYX, Pascual represented his home state and he rocked a Clippers jersey while he performed his hit songs “Dahil Sa’yo,” and “Catching Feelings.”

  The former MYX VJ recalled how he would dream of bringing the OPM music on the world stage and now he was finally able to do it.
