  "First time ito. I mean, nag-guest na ako sa concert niya, nag-guest na rin siya sa concerts ko. Pero yung tipong kaming dalawa lang talaga, this is the first time," says Gary Valenciano (main photo) about his upcoming concert with Martin Nivera (inset).

"I think we'll be coming out on the same time, pero sa kakaibang paraan. Very exciting."

Ngayon pa lang daw ay ipinu-promote na ni Martin ang concert nila ni Gary sa mga shows niya abroad. Plano rin daw kasi na magkaroon ng U.S. tour ang As One concert nila.

"Kasi right after here, we'll probably do Cebu, and then alis na kami sa States. I will be there for one month. Then, be back, do my ASAP performances. And be back in the States another month. Maybe sa gitna ng December, makakabalik ako rito. We'll be leaving late September until the end of October, balik ulit dito. And leave again in November until early December, I'll be back."

So, aasahan ng mga fans na magpapatalbugan sila ni Martin sa As One?

"Well, the original title of the concert is Versus, which means challenge. Pero ano, e, nagmukhang labanan na ano. Pero mangyayari yun on stage, pero sa kakaibang paraan."

Hindi kaya personalin nila ang concert?   

"No, I don't think so," sagot ni Gary. "Actually, ang dami ko ngang utang kay Martin now, e. Ang dami kong... Ang mga ideas ko kasi for the concert, even yung last concert ko, Gary V Live at 25, palaging late dumarating ang mga ideas ko. Si Martin talagang, 'Gary, come on.' Every day halos nakakatanggap ako ng text or message or email from him about where we should take the concert, and my ideas are now coming in. So, maganda ang exchange namin even in text, ang sarap!"

Sino ang nakaisap ng title na As One?

"His sister, Gina Tabuena Godinez. Why? Well, it's two different people na dating magkaribal, now are almost like brothers, like best friends, and they are working as one. And a lot of things can happen when two people of that stature come together as one," paliwanag niya.

Magko-compose ba sila ng song for the concert?

"Martin is doing that. Pero ako, I'm in the process of writing songs na kahit tapos na yung concert, makakapag-record pa kami ng ibang kanta. Maybe a part two to the album," pagtatapos ni Gary.
