American singer-songwriter David Pomeranz has nothing but good words for Filipinos, admiring how they ‘carry with them their love for humanity all the time.’
The ‘Got to Believe in Magic’ artist spoke about this after he attended a fundraising event for Philippine Nurses Association in the United States, as per a video shared on his Facebook page on Monday, Oct. 6.
‘A couple of nights ago, I played in Maryland at a fundraiser for Philippine Nurses Association, and had a ball. But what blows my mind every time I play for Filipinos is how they walk the walk,’ he said.
‘They’re very, very-yes, many are very religious and such, but they carry their religion or the love for humanity with them all the time,’ he explained.
Pomeranz pointed out how most Filipinos would often be nurses, doctors or caregivers.
‘They help, help, help, help, help. And they’re so funny and so delightful and sweet,’ he added. ‘And if you know them, you’ll know what I mean. They’re gorgeous, gorgeous people.’
The singer also credited Filipinos for being a part of his career. ‘I love Filipinos. You’ve given me so much in my life, added so much to my life.’
Pomeranz has visited and performed in the Philippines several times before, even holding a benefit show in 2013 for the victims of the supertyphoon ‘Yolanda.’
During one of his visits, the singer said he is in love with the country and that he feels welcome and safe here.
Pomeranz is best known for his hits ‘King and Queen of Hearts,’ ‘On This Day,’ ‘Born For You,’ and ‘Until I Fall In Love Again,’ among others.
