As the number of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines climbs to 380, there’s also a surge in demand for test kits, Personal Protective Equipment, and relief goods. And to support the needs of our frontliners and daily wage earners, Ben&Ben will be having a massive fundraising online showcase entitled, “Puhon: A Ben&Ben FB Live Event for the COVID-19 Efforts.”
The nine-piece collective will be performing some of their biggest hits for a one-hour live stream show while staying in their respective homes.
The Facebook Live Jam will happen on March 27, 2020 (Friday) at 7:00 PM. It will serve as a launch pad for the band’s community-initiative website, www.puhon.ph, which aims to inspire, uplift and boost the collective morale of all the key stakeholders of the COVID-19 response through uplifting stories, music, art, and more.
The platform will also provide an opportunity for people to contribute to the ongoing efforts in helping the frontliners and urban poor communities affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
“As artists, we believe that in a crisis like this we are called to do what we can to help—may it be by sending messages of hope, making efforts in raising funds for this crisis, or others,” shares the band in a statement.
All proceeds from this project are to raise funds for COVID19 test kits, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and nutrition support for frontline healthcare workers, and relief goods for daily wage earners.
The upcoming online concert is in partnership with Team Energy Foundation, YSEALI, Limitless Lab, and the Asian Institute of Management – Team Energy Center For Bridging Leadership.
