Typhoon Ondoy Relief Benefit Concert
Posted on October 5, 2009 by 007
The Philippines is one of the few countries that can take on a succession of storms and typhoons with nerves of steel and an unusual degree of calmness. But when the latest typhoon named “Ondoy” hammered its fury full force last Saturday, the results were damaging at the very least. Weather bureaus have stated that the amount of rain for the whole of September 26 equalled one month’s output. Hardest hit were Marikina City, Quezon City, Manila, Pasig, Malabon plus the whole province of Rizal and parts of Bulacan topping the list of calamity-stricken areas. On top of the countless properties washed away by the rampaging flood waters, lives were also taken (more than a 2 hundred as of the last update) and hundreds upon thousands left homeless – rich and poor.
Please check this link to see what is really going on BACK HOME.
We responded by throwing a benefit concert in CSULB. This is a great way for the ONE NATION ORGS to help out our dear loved ones back home and at the same time making an impact here in the U.S.
All the proceeds will be going to Ka-Puso Foundation.
The Event will be held at the CSULB auditorium on MONDAY, OCT 12 from 7-9pm. Doors Open at 630
$5 for CSULB students with student ID
$7 for non-CSULB students
Our goal is to fill up 236 seats. We can have the chance to raise up to 1000 dollars if we make this event a successful one. Tickets will be limited once the presales have been sold.

MAE UBALDO
FIVE O’CLOCK SHADOW
KRYSTLE TUGADI

Awaiting answers from other performers.
