Benefit concert set
for typhoon victims

Silliman University and all five districts of the Rotary Club of Dumaguete City are merging efforts to support continuing rescue and relief operations for the victims of typhoon Ondoy, a press release from the university said. 

A benefit concert will be staged tomorrow at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium on the Silliman campus for the thousands of Filipinos left homeless and grieving by the typhoon that hit the country on September 26. 

Dumaguete has been spared by the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy, but both Silliman and Rotary recognize the need to extend assistance, despite the distance from the affected areas. The concert is also a call to the public for a sustained collective response to the disaster, especially with continuing heavy rains threatening further devastation, the press release said.
