Wazzup Pilipinas!
In an effort to combat poverty in the Philippines through providing medical assistance, promoting children’s education, and providing help for those suffering from natural disasters, the Manny Pacquiao Foundation was established by the boxing world champion, senator, businessman and philanthropist.
Similarly, eventhough the Pambansang Kamao seemingly has it all, there's no stopping generous individuals, organizations and corporations to partner with him in generating funds for his foundation. Aside from his personal money, Pacquiao is open to accepting any help coming from everyone who would especially want to touch the hearts of others through his foundation.
Among the many kind-hearted entities out there are the organizers of the Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival who plans to hold the event next year by February 10, 2018. Most proceeds, if not all, of the festival would go to the Manny Pacquiao Foundation to specifically help the people of Marawi who were affected by the recent several months-long siege that displaced many residents and destroyed both their properties and source of livelihood.
At the media launch held at F1 Hotel in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) located in Taguig City, Manny Pacquiao graced the event to announce the partnership with the festival. We have a video coverage uploaded on our YouTube channel so please do check our videos to personally listen to the announcement and Q&A portion.
The Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival promises to showcase Philippines and Japanese friendship by offering performers coming from both countries, as well as other surprise guests. Who knows, maybe Manny would also give in to the requests and sing a couple of songs at the festival.
Dishes from Japan would also be available at food stalls at the venue which will be the ASEANA Concert Grounds in Pasay city.
To entertain the attendees, Japanese all-girl group Global Style performed a couple of performances to our delight. The ladies were all oozing in sultriest outfits that sort of brightened up the function room.
Though it was a bit difficult to get a photo or video selfie with Manny, we had a lot of time doing selfies with Global Style at the end of the event.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to the music festival on Ferbruary 10. This is a must event that I should not miss so I'll be sure to include this event already as part of my calendar of activities for next year.
