Visited Pasig Line street in Sta Ana, Manila after hearing about the terrible fire that devastated the area last New Year's Day. The house where I grew up is on the same street.

(update march 2020- we were able to raise P60,000 from the two bar gigs and online donations. i thank everyone who came to the shows and donated online. i turned over the funds to our friends in phil red cross after they helped me identify the needs of the community (at that time it was pails and basins). PRC immediately ordered the items but unfortunately, before we could get the items, we fell into Covid 19 Enhanced Community Quarantine.
these items will be distributed once the Quarantine period is lifted but i am very sad because i could have acted with even more urgency i know how much this couldve helped during this even more difficult time. my deepest apologies to the community. :(
update feb 16,2020 - turnout to the feb 5 fundraiser was very low due to ncov fears that week. hoping more people show up in 70s bistro this feb 19. we will consolidate all donations immediately after and will donate w the assistance of phil red cross manila chapter. will give further updates here. thanks to thos who have donated already 🙏)
