Ondoy Relief Concert Success

The support we received was tremendous. The crew, artists, and sponsors were motivating and proved just how much people can do together. I enjoyed every minute and learned so much.

All the proceeds from the concert will go directly to survivors of typhoons in the Philippines through the Ayala Foundation USA. AF USA will then course a percentage of funds to Liberty Christian Baptist Church, currently operating relief programs through rehabilitation programs. The remaining funds will go to other regions of Cainta selected by AF USA.

Pastor Arnel Villanueva from Liberty Christian Baptist Church at Blk. 155 lot 19 Karangalan Village Gate 2 Cainta Rizal 1900 will assist typhoon survivors by:

Rehabilitation and emergency relief operation

  • Purchase of rice and canned goods inventory
  • Purchase of clothing, utensils at $10 per family
Feeding program for children/youth
  • $5.00 feeds 50 children
  • Your generous gift of $20.00 per ticket feeds 200 children
  • One whole meal every Saturday

Cash assistance for livelihood

Entrepreneurship program which educates and invests those seeking to start their own business as a source of livelihood

  • Concession stands
  • Minimum capital of $100 payable without interest
  • After 5 months, the money will be a revolving fund for other start-ups
Your decision to drive through the weather, to pour hours of time through volunteering... simply inspiring. Thank you so much.

Stay tuned for a special Christmas announcement, pictures, and video highlights (thanks to sinegang.tv).
