Jhong Hilario backs young artist’s concert, 10 beneficiaries aided

10 beneficiaries aided as young artist Kryzl Jorge turns birthday into star-studded night of giving.

Jhong Hilario lent his star power to a cause-driven concert, performing alongside his daughter, Sarina, at young artist Kryzl Jorge’s 10th birthday show. 

The actor-host used his platform to support the event’s advocacy, delivering a father-and-daughter dance number that drew strong audience response and sharing a message encouraging young talents to use their influence for meaningful initiatives.

The event also benefited 10 beneficiaries through the Purple Hearts Foundation, a group that provides aid to underserved communities, shelters, and advocacy organizations. 

Representatives from partner groups received assistance during the program, as Kryzl turned her milestone celebration into a night of giving.

More than 1,000 guests filled Samsung Hall at SM Aura in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, for “Xtraordinary Kryzl: Born to Shine,” a full-scale production that combined performances with philanthropy. 

Among the beneficiaries were Kanlungan ni Maria, Tahanang Balik-Alay, Animal Kingdom Foundation, and Baon Mo, Sagot Ko, reflecting Purple Hearts’ broad support for causes ranging from elderly care and women’s shelters to animal welfare and education. 

Organizers said the initiative aims to instill compassion and social responsibility at a young age, using events like Kryzl’s concert to channel resources to communities in need.

The show opened with the “Purple Hearts Jingle,” setting the tone for an evening anchored on giving back. Kryzl then took the stage for a series of performances, including “No Rush” with dancers from GAU Entertainment and “Crush on You” with Josh Ford and Kira Balinger.

Kryzl also shared the stage with Rachel Ann Pegaso for the “Hugs, Breathe, Smile” number, while performing “Opo, Thank You Po” with Queenay Mercado, reinforcing the concert’s themes of gratitude and kindness.

Kryzl also marked a personal milestone during the concert with the launch of 10 original songs, including “Hearts in Bloom,” which highlighted her growth as a young recording artist. The night closed with “Birthday LOVE,” as she was joined onstage by her family.

By combining entertainment with outreach, Kryzl’s birthday concert underscored how even young performers can make an impact, turning personal milestones into opportunities to support others.
