Michelle Celeste Garcia, daughter of actor Patrick Garcia, was among the girls chosen as backup dancers in the recently-held “H.E.R.E.H” concert of Korean star IU in Bulacan.
Michelle and her fellow dancers joined the “Holssi” stage of IU at the Bulacan leg of her tour at the Philippine Arena last June 1. The singer-songwriter donned a white, ruffled tube dress and a silver tiara, while the backup dancers looked cute in their pastel-colored ensembles.
Patrick’s 11-year-old daughter expressed her excitement on Instagram a day later, saying being part of IU’s stage was a moment she “will forever remember.”
“A moment I will forever remember! Being on stage with you, IU, was a privilege! Thank you so much,” she wrote. “I’m the second girl in front on the right side, just in case you didn’t know.”
Michelle shared glimpses of the concert’s final rehearsal in a separate post, where she showed off her “junior dancer” IU.
Meanwhile, Patrick said he is proud to see his daughter’s recent milestone on his Instagram account.
“This is only the beginning baby girl! We are proud of you @michellecelestemgarcia. Thank you to the person who took this video,” he said in the caption.
IU’s Bulacan show was also an unforgettable moment for OPM band SunKissed Lola after the singer-songwriter did a cover of their hit song “Pasilyo.” She also performed “You & I,” “Love Wins All,” “Through The Night,” “Twenty-Three,” “Blueming,” and “Lilac” at the sold-out show.
Patrick tied the knot with his non-showbiz partner, Nikka Martinez, in March 2015. They have four children together, including Michelle Celeste. The “Tabing Ilog” star also has a son with ex-girlfriend Jennylyn Mercado.
