A huge crowd gathered at the Music Entertainment Hall at the Mall of Asia last September 28, 2008. Devoted fans of Sarah Geronimo, Popsters, lined up to buy her latest album entitled "Just Me." The promo tour was well-attended also by Howie Dorough’s fans from the BSBFCP (Backstreet Boys Fan Club of the Philippines). He flew in all the way from Los Angeles to personally promote their duet, "I’ll Be There," the carrier track of Sarah’s CD. Howie came in with his lovely and sweet wife, Leigh. The producer of Sarah’s album, Christian de Walden, illustrated his complete support by being there himself.

The show started off with Jimmy Marquez, 2nd runner-up in Search for a Star in a Million Season 2. He showcased his awesome talent, with added humor and performed Usher’s "Caught Up," followed by his memorable performance of "Gulong ng Palad" in the reality singing contest, and a song for the broken-hearted, "By My Side."

Sarah strutted off her stuff in a lovely blue green top, black leggings, and high-heeled gold shoes. She’s a nice, courteous, young lady. It is no wonder that she has so many adoring fans. Her full voice is evident from the songs she performed. She kicked it off with "Played."

She then introduced her next single from the album, "Dahil Minahal Mo Ako." She showcased her trademark sundance from the movie "A Very Special Love" while singing merrily to it. She approached the crowd, reaching out to her fans. The finale was her duet with Howie D. "I’ll Be There". It was such a lively and endearing song that you can’t help but sing along with the duo. It was indeed a pleasing delight to join the amazing talents of both Sarah , the Philippines’ Pop Star Princess and Howie, from the worldwide phenomenon Backstreet Boys.

The mall show ended with much enthusiasm in an autograph session from Sarah and Howie. The long wait in the lines was worth it. The stars gamely signed CDs and souvenirs for the fans, clearly showing their commitment.
