Due to the unfortunate circumstances brought about by Typhoon Ondoy, the Katy Perry, Live in Manila concert has been moved to November 14, 2009, still at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.
Music Management International (MMI) and All Youth Channels Inc (AYC) postponed the event happening supposedly last October 3. Set to make it much bigger, better and more relevant, the two companies will be transforming Katy Perry’s concert into a fund raising gig.
Ronald Esguerra, marketing and communications director of AYC, says, “We are currently working on foreign and local artists to join the cause. We feel that through the universal language of music, we will be able to unite and move everyone to help out.”
The fund raiser’s net proceeds will be awarded to the agency or organization that has actively and efficiently been deploying donations and aid to the typhoon victims. Name of agency is yet to be announced at a later date.
The concert would also be an avenue for people to drop off their donations.
Donations in kind like food, water, clothes, blankets and medicines are welcome. Everyone is encouraged to bring at least one item to donate. These items will be deployed to victims of the tropical storm.
