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:

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.
"Ang dami kasing nagtatanong kailan tayo lalabas sa pelikula o sa TV, so ito na lang yung binigay nating regalo for them."

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!"
