A concert to benefit the victims of Typhoon Ondoy through Gawad Kalinga will be held on December 5, 2009 at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds. Dubbed “Pilipino Kaya Natin Ito”, the concert gathers Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mangaawit (OPM) artists together to raise funds for the victims of the recent typhoons.
The idea for a benefit concert began with talent manager Girlie Rodis who called up singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid to re-organize OPM artists and reach out to the typhoon victims through a fundraising event.Tita Girlie’s idea and the aftermath of the storm inspired Ogie to write a song entitled “Kaya Natin ‘To” which carries a message of hope that seeks to uplift the spirit of the typhoon victims, by encouraging them through the power of music.
The single was recorded at Jay-R’s home studio graced by over 70 OPM artists who lent their voices to the cause including Sharon Cuneta, Regine Velasquez, Christian Bautista, Jose Mari Chan, Sarah Geronimo, Charice Pempengco among many others. Those who were in the United States recorded on their computers and sent it to Ogie, including Lea Salonga, Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, and Kuh Ledesma.
Proceeds of the concert will go to GK to help rebuild the lives of typhoon victims through the rehabilitation of affected communities and the opening up of new GK villages to transfer poor people away from danger zone areas.
“Pilipino Kaya Natin Ito” will be directed by Rowell Santiago and will start at 7 pm. Mark your calendars and see you there!
