“We are thankful to all of the many artists and sponsors who have come together to make this a meaningful event for the typhoon survivors. Now that we are at the rehabilitation stage, it is critical for us to keep up the momentum of support. Proceeds of this concert will go to Gawad Kalinga and Habitat for Humanity for the rebuilding of houses and shelter in the affected communities,” says PDRF President Butch Meily.
Set up to facilitate private sector preparedness for and response to disasters, PDRF has initiated efforts to repair and rebuild classrooms damaged by Typhoon Yolanda and to revive local businesses in the affected areas.
