Dubbed the “Charity Diva” because her concerts are often for such purpose, Token Lizares will headline “My Token of Love” on March 22 at 7 p.m. at the Teatrino, Greenhills, San Juan City.
“I always do charity shows in the Philippines,” Token said during a recent press conference. “‘How do I earn?’ I was asked. I earn from my shows abroad,” she chuckled.
