“DON’T let me down,” goes a Beatles song played by Wlkman band yesterday evening at Limketkai Mall, this city ― an apt appeal for donations ― for the survivors of the flash floods in Misamis Occidental.
Mallgoers were treated to a live band performance as it hosted “Tabang Misamis Occidental: Concert for a Cause.” A fund drive for Misamis Occidental affected by Amihan Shear Line on December 24 at the mall’s rotunda at 7 pm on December 28.
“Actually, in-kind among gina campaign, like food, diapers, used clothing, toiletries, ug bottled water,” Liezl Lando, one of the organizers said.
“Naa pud mag cash, so amo na lang gidawat para pud to buy bottled water. Actually, na balik na man ilang utilities but dili pa man tanan naay tubig,” she added.
The charity concert was spearheaded by the Junior Chamber International, (JCI) Bai Lawanen Chapter with the participation of Limketkai Center management, and local civic organizations Diri Husi, Dayeg Movement, and Eksena CDO.
“Nag sugod mi sa JCI sa ingani atong Bangon Taal (in) 2020. Karon diri na sab mi nag tabang sa Misamis Occidental. Naa’y mga youth ni participate, willing mo participate and volunteer,” Lando said.
The activity started on December 27 and will run until December 30, with different local bands taking turns in providing entertainment and calling for appeals for donations.
They plan to bring all cash and in-kind donations.
“Pwede pud unta kung naay mag donate sa December 30 og mga food packs, or ready to eat meals para ma dala namo didto,” Lando said.
Donations may be brought to the mall’s Customer Service Kiosk.
