Klarisse de Guzman's dream to perform at the Araneta Coliseum finally came true.
The former Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab housemate staged a night to remember with her unforgettable performances and special guests.
Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez joined her for their birit showdown version of ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All."
After the number, Regine gave Klarisse a heartwarming message about how the latter waited for a long time before fulfilling her dream to have a concert at the Big Dome.
"It’s my pleasure to be part of your very special night Klang. I was in your very first one, diyan sa kanto lang," said Regine, referring to the smaller concert venue New Frontier Theater.
Continuing, Regine told Klarisse: "Back then, I was very proud of you already.
"Natutuwa ako na ang daming blessings na natatanggap mo at ibinibigay sa iyo ng Panginoon. Alam mo kung bakit?"
To which, Klarisse responded, "Bakit po Ms. Reg?"
Regine then said: "Because you waited, and you waited for a long time.
"And I'm sure a lot of those times you were already questioning if it’s ever gonna come your way.
"And finally it's here, we're all very proud of you. Lahat ng tao dito, ikaw ang pinunta. Congratulations!"
Regine added, "Sa maikling panahon na nagkakilala tayo. Siguro mga 30 years na, 'no? Napakabait po ng taong ito. Kaya ang masasabi ko lang, dasurv!"
Touched by Regine's good words, Klarisse shared that the Asia's Songbird has been one of the people who inspires her in her craft.
Then Klarisse revealed, "Nung unang concert konandun ka rin sa kabilang kanto. And to be fair po, parehong walang TF!"
Regine jokingly remarked, "Ngayon may TF ako! Yung TF mo napunta sa akin."
But Klarisse reiterated, "Ganun ka-generous ang Ms. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid."

KLARISSE DE GUZMAN AND VICE GANDA
Another highlight of the concert was when Klarisse shared the stage with Vice Ganda, her champion and producer of her Big Dome concert.
They had fun showcasing rapping to Gloc-9's "Sirena."
Vice Ganda also brought the house down with her hilarious ad libs, interspersed with punchlines about the controversial collusion of government officials in billions of pesos worth of flood control projects.
Vice and Klarisse grew close when the latterjoined It's Showtime as a hurado for "Tawag Ng Tanghalan," the Kapamilya noontime show's popular singinging competition segment.
Since then, the Unkabogable Star has been supportive of Klang's wish to make it at the Big Dome.
