Music Management International (MMI) and All Youth Channels, Inc. (AYC) proudly present “Katy Perry Rocks for Relief” as her swagger warms Manila after the cold typhoons devastated the country three weeks ago. She will be heading the biggest fundraising event for the typhoon survivors making the concert much bigger and more relevant. The fundraiser will be on Nov. 14 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. All net proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Philippine National Red Cross, the concert’s sole beneficiary. The concert will also be an avenue for people to drop off their donations as it will have house booths specifically intended for it.

Boys Like Girls, the supposed front act for “Katy Perry Live in Manila” last Oct. 3 will not be able to make it. Guest performers are Arnel Pineda and Neal Schon of Journey, American rock band MAE, and Jed Madela.

As beneficiary, the Philippine National Red Cross will receive all the net proceeds that the concert will be able to raise or P1,000,000, which ever is higher. The organization has actively and effectively been giving aid to the typhoon survivors since the day “Ondoy” hit Manila. Donations in kind like food, water, clothes, blankets and medicines will be welcomed. Everyone is highly encouraged to bring at least one item to donate. All donations will be deployed to victims of the tropical storms.
