Manila, Philippines– Jose Mari Chan, the singer-songwriter and entrepreneur, has recently confirmed that he will join the star-studded ensemble of artists who will perform at the upcoming “Celebrate with Songs of Hope: A Christmas Fundraising Concert” as part of the Breast Cancer Awareness activities for this year.
Chan, who received a Double Diamond Record Award for his album “Christmas in Our Hearts”, will join local artists like Franco and Ayen Laurel, Anna Feleo, Noel Azcona, Randy Gilongo, Sherwin Sozon, John Glenn Gaerlan and Anica Ordan in an evening of music and song for a great cause. The Philippine Foundation for Breast Care Inc. (PFBCI), Resorts World Manila, Megaworld Foundation Inc. and the Lyric Opera of the Philippines have teamed up to present a special Christmas-themed concert which will be held at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila on December 16, 2015.

The proceeds from ticket sales will fund the chemotherapy that will be administered to poverty-stricken patients in the Philippines.

Other artists who will perform at the concert are Jane Wee, Andrea Melisa Camba, Stephanie Aguilar, Dave de Jesus, David Cicero Pado, Raymond Muyot, Nomher Nival, Mary Patrice Pacis, Naomi Sison and Marie Antonette Pascual.

    Some Filipinos are not aware of breast cancer. Some patients just ignore it because they cannot afford a doctor especially the expenses for a series of tests. I salute Jose Mari Chan for helping and giving hope to breast cancer patients in this time of season. Thank you!

    I can still remember when I got a lump on my breast few years back. Thank God it's not malignant. I think having a breast or ovarian cancer would be the toughest battle a woman could ever encounter.

    I can still remeber when I discovered a 5 y/o lump in my breast few years back. Thank God it was not cancerous and my operation happened five years ago. I think the toughest battle a woman could ever encounter would be having a breast or ovarian cancer.
