#HelpMarawi: Families in Marawi were treated to a charity concert on Christmas

Pinoy hip-hop collective “Ex-Battalion” put on quite the performance on Christmas Day, December 25, during the #HelpMarawi charity concert held at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.

In front of a massive crowd of approximately 18,000 concert-goers, online sensations “Bosx1ne”, “Skusta Clee”, “Flow-G”, “Emcee Rhenn”, “Brando” and “KentMNL” led the festivities—all for the benefit of the war-stricken families of the Marawi siege in Lanao del Sur, Mindanao.

Made possible by Amina Mangotara , Omar Mangotara, Kernel Gasa & Almar Batu-aan Mangotara, Alparadise leasing corporation, Cut Royale Salon, Al Delos Reyes & John Velez of Globalhoops Manila & Andy Wu of JUMP10.

The one-night spectacle had the crowd singing along to the group’s most popular tunes including “Hayaan mo na sila”, “No Game”, “Need You”, “Tell Me” and “Come With Me”, among others.

Apart from a live performance of the hottest songs from the local hiphop scene, the show also paid homage to the Muslim community by performing a traditional ritual program and an Islamic prayer.

Several residents of Marawi also shared their first hand experiences of the atrocities that are still happening in the city.

Embracing the true spirit of Christmas, the Marawi residents were presented with a generous donation from multiple sponsors after the show.

They also received clothes, canned goods and more cash donations from concert goers.
