The City
Government of Victorias, in support to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda held a
benefit show dubbed as “Talento Ko, Halad Sa Inyo” at the Victorias City Public
Plaza last Dec. 20.
The activity showcased
local talents from the academe to government and non-government workers and
different sectors in Victorias City performed gratis et amore for a noble
cause.
Mayor Francis
Frederick Palanca and Vice Mayor Jerry Jover, who were both present during the
fundraising event, thanked everyone who organized, participated and unselfishly
shared their talents and blessings to help the typhoon victims, making their
Christmas season more meaningful.
Donations in
cash and kind were collected during the concert until the entire performances
end and cash donations from business sectors and various organizations were
given deductible tax credit privileges.
Despite the pour
of heavy rains in the middle of the performances, Victoriahanons flocked back
as the program resumed as they never failed to show their love and shared what
they have for the victims.
Incidentally, 3rd
District Representative Alfredo Benitez was also celebrating his birthday on
the same day and as his share brought in talents from Manila who performed
during the event.
The Voice of the
Philippines finalist Darryl Shy, Ms. Intercontinental 2013 3rd
Runner-up Koreen Medina and a comedian, Mojack made the affair even more
worthwhile.
