Bicol — known for its fiery cuisine, historical sites, diverse marine life and breathtaking natural wonders — takes center stage as it hosts the fundraising concert Musika Para Sa Bikol: Himig ng Bayanihan.

The public can expect performances from Bicol’s homegrown talent Tothapi, South Korean sensation Kim Ji-Soo, British post-punk and glam metal band Gene Loves Jezebel and Norwegian hitmakers Fra Lippo Lippi.

On 6 December, the Ibalong Centrum for Recreation (ICR) in Legazpi City will be the setting for a night of music that brings together community and a shared love for one of the Philippines’ beloved regions.

The spirit of community and generosity has been evident throughout the ongoing relief efforts, with significant support coming from both the public and private sectors. The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), in partnership with Live Nation Philippines (LNPH), has extended assistance through donations, demonstrating its commitment to the affected communities. Their contributions highlight the vital role of collaboration in addressing urgent needs and fostering hope.

Musika Para Sa Bikol: Himig ng Bayanihan is not just a concert; it is a call to action. Tickets are priced at P100, which will go directly toward donations for the cause. These ticket donations can be made online via the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) website http://redcross.org.ph or in person at the concert venue.
