The digital age of bayanihan took place in HIMIG’s online concert via Facebook live as they were able to raise Php30,000 for the frontliners and the less privileged since the 6th of April.

From monetary donations to volunteerism, individuals and non-government organizations have teamed up together, to battle with the struggle that the people are currently facing, by donating through mobile gadgets, bank accounts, and e-wallets. The age of mobile digital finance has made donations easier and faster for everyone located anywhere and at any time.

With classes currently suspended to prevent further spreading of the virus, students were still able to find a way to help despite being separated and in the comfort of their own homes. The musicians of Adamson University or known as ‘HIMIG’, has turned to social media to raise funds for the people most affected during the current health crisis.

The organization had also successfully raised funds for the victims of the Taal eruption by holding donation drives and busking sessions last January 14-17, 2020. Their selfless act had managed to reach help for four barangays and evacuation centers in an elementary school in Balayan, Taklang- Anak, Calaca Batangas, Bauan Batangas, and Calaca Central School.

Now, the organization has prepared an online benefit concert named: “AMBAGAN: Online Concert for a Cause” to raise funds and donate to a non-profit organization named FRIENACTUS, hosting a project entitled: “BENTE: COVID-19 Donation Drive.”

The proceeds were to be spent on vitamins and hygiene kits that will be directly donated to at least 170 homeless Filipinos. As of April 14, 2020, the donation drive has a total of PHP 30,000+ donations with the help of HIMIG, all for bonding together and sharing talents amidst these trying times.
