MANILA, Philippines – Eager to gather funds to help health workers in the frontlines against the coronavirus, cause-oriented musicians’ group Musika Publiko is holding daily online benefit gigs dubbedThey’re a network of musicians, composers, music producers, and enthusiasts who are advocating for and producing “songs that reflect the times and inspire people to do good or act for real change.”
CDRC has been cooperating with health-based NGOs and unions to immediately respond to basic and important needs such as personal protective equipment of health workers from both public and private hospitals and medical centers. They now have artists from Central Luzon, North Luzon, Bicol and from abroad to lend their skills and talents for the country’s health workers.
According to Karl Ramirez, one of the main conveners of Tugtugan Para sa Kalusugan, they decided to stage the benefit gigs so they can lend their talents to a good cause. For Ramirez, health workers have needed help and support long before the crisis happened, and it was about time that people gave back when frontliners needed them the most.
“We also raise awareness on the issue of healthcare in the country and of course the plight of the health workers, and why they need our help in these desperate times,” they said.
