These homes will be part of the Agos Village, which was started from funds raised by the Filipino rock group Agos.In recent months, Agos co-founders Rico Ortanez and his wife, Badette had done concerts in San Diego and Philadelphia raising enough money to complete half of the village. Sadly, Rico recently passed away from cancer before the village could be finished. In a recent meeting, community leaders agreed with songwrite/musician lawyer Rodney Garcia to help fulfill Rico’s wish to finish the village for the poor people of Bulacan.
