International Entertainer in the Philippines

Lately, there are a lot of well- known international entertainers who are performing in the Philippines like Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5 and etc. Then a question came up in my mind; why do these international entertainers like to perform in the Philippines thinking that most of our countrymen are not that too wealthy to afford those expensive concert tickets. But contrast to that, most of international entertainer’s concerts earned a lot of profit on their performances in the Philippines. This is because most of our countrymen are fanatics of international performers and they are willing to spend a lot of money just to watch their favourite international performers live. A friend of mine is one of those million die-hard fanatics of Nicki Minaj. And last June 2012, he bought VIP seat for 2 worth P13, 000. 00 on Nicki Minaj concert in SM Arena. I remembered the only question I asked him that time, “why did you buy those expensive concert tickets?” and he answered “I’m willing to spend my money just to watch her live. I saved my allowance just to buy these tickets”. He spends a lot of money even though he does not have a permanent source of money, and just relying on his weekly allowance.
Maybe this is the reason why those international performers like to perform in our country. Filipinos are very obsessed or being too much fanatic on their favourite performers. There’s nothing wrong with spending money for leisure, but we should know first our priorities in spending. Thank you for reading my blog!
