ERA: Healing Hearts (Makati City, Metro Manila)

 

ERA: Healing Hearts

The Philippine IATA Agents Travel Association (PIATA) and the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Philippines Chapter proudly announce their first-ever collaborative fundraising concert, ERA: Healing Hearts, a landmark initiative dedicated to supporting survivors of recent calamities in Cebu. 

The concert, takin place on December 10, 2025, Wednesday, at 7:00 PM at RJ Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City, Metro Manila, will feature the iconic Filipina pop rock musician Ms. Lou Bonnevie alongside a lineup of celebrated artists such as Ramon "RJ" Jacinto, disc jockey, recording artist and remixer John Robinson, Rhada and OPM balladeer Bimbo "Bo" Cerrudo, all coming together for a meaningful cause.

This historic collaboration marks the first time PIATA and PATA Philippines have united to spearhead a large-scale mental health and humanitarian mission for survivors of the September 30, 2025 earthquake in Bogo City and the Cebu communities in Talisay City and Barangay Cotcot in Liloan, which were affected by Super Typhoon Uwan (international name: Fung-wong). 

This meaningful event is made possible through the generous support of Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), SABRE, Bluewater Resorts, and China Airlines. Their commitment to community healing and mental health advocacy is instrumental in bringing this initiative to life.

While natural disasters leave visible scars in the form of destroyed homes and infrastructure, the emotional and psychological impact on survivors often goes unseen. Many children and adults continue to experience post-traumatic stress, emotional distress, and profound loss. 

To address this urgent need, a team of therapists, counselors, and psychologists will conduct a three-day therapy program in Bogo, offering specialized sessions for both children and adults. This program aims to provide structured emotional support, a safe environment for expression, and a critical first step toward healing. 

Through ERA: Healing Hearts, PIATA and PATA Philippines Chapter hope not only to raise funds but also to shine a light on the importance of mental health care in disaster-stricken communities. The concert promises an unforgettable evening of music, solidarity, and hope—demonstrating the power of community, sponsors, and artistry in helping hearts heal. 

Tickets, available at the concert venue, are priced at Php1,800 (with one drink). For inquiries, contact mobile numbers (0917) 585-2213 (Ms. Ma. Paz), (0927) 322-9997  (Ms. Mary Fe) and (0916) 793-7386 (Mrs. Ma. Anne).
