MANILA, Philippines - It’s been a year since Typhoon Yolanda wrought havoc in the Visayas region, particularly in Leyte. One effective way of coping for victims is through the power of music.
This is the reason why Smart’s partner MCA Music, in collaboration with its talented pool of artists, came up with the song Hope for Humanity which can now be downloaded through SPINNR, the country’s biggest online music destination. The inspiring track will also be available for download on iTunes and streaming on Deezer.
Composed by MCA Music artist Krissy, the song can be downloaded for only P30, an amount which can be deducted from the prepaid load of Smart, Sun Cellular and Talk ‘N Text subscribers, or charged on top of their postpaid bills.
All proceeds from the Hope for Humanity song downloads will go to HelpPH, the fund-raising campaign organized by the Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation (PDRF) for survivors of Typhoon Yolanda.
“Many people have already contributed to help the recovery efforts in the Visayas, but the work continues. We must do everything we can to help our fellow Filipinos stand on their feet again, and one of the ways we can contribute is by downloading and sharing this inspiring song crafted by our most talented OPM artists,” said Smart Public Affairs head Ramon Isberto.
“We have contributed to the relief work for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) through the worldwide effort of our parent company — Universal Music Group via Songs For The Philippines and locally via our benefit show last year at Eastwood Central Plaza titled Music Comes Alive For Visayas. But we feel that it should not stop there,” added MCA Music president Ricky Ilacad.
Among the artists who lent their creativity and talent to this effort include Sitti, Mitoy Yonting, Lyca Gairanod, Klarisse de Guzman, Nyoy Volante, Sabrina, Gabby Alipe of Urbandub, Janice Javier, Myk Perez, Krissy, Paolo Onesa, Bassilyo, Franco, Solenn Heussaff, Erica Villongco, Aljur Abrenica, Edray Teodoro, Tonton Cabiles, Zendee, Loonie, Ron Henley, Nicole, JC Regino, CJ Pangilinan of Iktus, Johnny Alegre and Domino.
Hope For Humanity can be downloaded and streamed via the SPINNR website (spinnr.ph) or through the SPINNR Android or iOS apps.
