The setlist opened with the high-octane anthem "Pantropiko," but remixed with a rock-band intro that sent the crowd into a frenzy. The octet—Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena—descended from a suspended platform wearing celestial silver bodysuits, immediately commanding the arena. While every member had their solo shine (Mikha’s rap break in "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" drew the loudest screams of the night), the highlight of Part 1 was the "Golden Arrow" segment. Midway through the concert, the lights cut to black. A single spotlight hit Jhoanna as she performed an acoustic rendition of "Na Na Nandito Lang." One by one, the other seven members joined her on a rotating center stage, culminating in an a cappella bridge that echoed off the dome’s rafters.
