Feed The Hungry will implement the rehabiltation projects in Iloilo. The “Alay” concert will also raise funds for a Gawad Kalinga village of new homes for the poor in Bulacan. 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.
