Maja Salvador on her Maja Onstage concert: “Hindi tayo puno pero punong-puno yung nararamdaman kong pagmamahal

Maja Salvador and Paulo Avelino’s reunion brought kilig to fans at her Maja On Stage concert.

Maja Salvador reunited with former leading man Paulo Avelino during her Maja On Stage concert held at the KIA Theater on March 23, 2018.

Paulo surprised audiences by appearing right after Maja’s dance number.

This event served as Maja’s comeback to the concert scene in the Philippines after doing a series of shows overseas.

Several guests, including Maja’s leading men in Wildflower, also devoted time to do numbers with Maja on the stage.

In an interview after the concert, Maja revealed the identity of her other surprise guest who was unable to perform at her concert. “Dapat surprise guest ko rin si Zanjoe pero hindi kinaya ng schedule,” disclosed the ABS-CBN actress.

Here are some highlights of her Maja On Stage concert:

Paulo Avelino surprised concertgoers when he appeared at the end of Maja Salvador’s interpretative dance number.

PauMaj fans got kilig when Maja suddenly danced with Paulo.

She told him after the number, “Anong ginagawa mo dito? Teka, hindi ako prepared!”

According to Paulo, he came from his taping for Asintado before going to the concert.

Maja thanked her I’m Drunk I Love You leading man for showing his support.

“Thank you, Pao. Galing siyang taping. Pero para mapasaya kayong lahat, nandito siya.

The song Maja danced to was Moira dela Torre’s hit song “Malaya.”

Before their song number, Maja asked Paulo, “Bakit sa lahat lahat, sa ‘Malaya’ mo naisipang pumasok?”

Laughing, Paulo answered, “Pinapasok lang ako, e!”

Maja then asked him, “Bakit, may nagpalaya ba sa ‘yo? Malaya ka ba?”

Paulo then returned the question to Maja: “Malaya ka ba?”

Maja answered, “Hmmm. Kanta na lang tayo, Pao!”

Paulo and Maja performed duets of the songs in the I’m Drunk I Love You soundtrack.

They were paired in this road trip movie in February 2017.

Before their song number, Paulo held Maja’s hands and told her that they should have proper blocking on stage.

Maja quipped, “Hmmm, gusto mo lang hawakan yung kamay ko, e.”

At the end of their number, Maja and Paulo hugged each other.

Paulo teased Maja and said, “Naiyak ka yata?”

Maja answered, “Okay lang yan, doon tayo mag-usap sa backstage, pag-usapan natin ito. Mga titig mo, ha. May meaning ‘yan!”

Maja performed a number with Pinoy Big Brother Lucky 7 winner Maymay Entrata.

After performing the song “Boombayah,” Maja teased Maymay about her “oppa” Edward Barber.

“Oppa” is the Korean term for a guy who is someone special.

She then told the 20-year-old actress, “Akala mo ikaw lang yung may Oppa? Kanina may Oppa rin ako! Oppa-oppahan!

“Oppa-oppahan lang yung sa amin, e. Hindi nagkatotoong Oppa.”

Maja was referring to Paulo, whom she shared the stage with prior to her number with Maymay.
