National artist Ryan Cayabyab starts online concerts for COVID-19 frontliners

National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab initiated "Bayanihan Musikahan," a series of online concerts to raise funds for daily wage earners affected by the COVID-19 lockdown.

The project, a collaboration between Cayabyab and Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), features various local artists performing from their homes to solicit donations.

The goal is to provide food and health packs for urban poor communities in Metro Manila impacted by the enhanced community quarantine.

Viewers are encouraged to donate towards Caritas Manila's "Ligtas Covid Kits" and "Manna Food Bags."

Donations can be made via PBSP's PayMaya or BDO account.

The online concert series kicked off on March 20 with performances by Ryan Cayabyab, Sponge Cola, Karylle, and Ebe Dancel, among others.

Upcoming performances include artists like Jim Paredes, Gloc-9, and Ice Seguerra on March 23 and 24.
