F✦FOREVER Donates ₱5 Million to Support Mindanao Earthquake Victims Ahead of Manila Concert
In a show of solidarity with the Philippines, Jerry Yan, Van Ness Wu, Vic Chou, and Ashin (lead vocalist of Mayday) have donated a combined ₱5 million (₱2.5 million each) to the ABS-CBN Foundation and the GMA Foundation to aid relief and rehabilitation efforts for families affected by the recent earthquake in Mindanao.
The contribution, announced just days ahead of their highly anticipated concert in the country, will help fund ongoing humanitarian efforts. The donation is reportedly helping to boost efforts through the likes of ABS-CBN Foundation’s Sagip Kapamilya and GMA Kapuso Foundation’s Operation Bayanihan, providing essential aid such as hot meals, food packs, vital supplies and care for displaced children and families.
The donation comes as the group prepares for their F✦FOREVER 1st World Tour stop in Manila on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan. Presented by Live Nation Philippines and OvationProductions, the concert marks a historic reunion that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
Tickets are available via https://t.co/4W0fjUuRbE and outlets nationwide.
(Rough trans) WINTER talking about how she met and adopted Ponyo
“Ponyo came from a shelter.. I heard that there was some kind of auction or bidding process for puppies.. but no one took her and she was at risk of being sent to a breeding facility.. so the shelter stepped in and brought her there
That’s how she ended up at the shelter and then I adopted her.. Human really should feel sorry, humans should be ashamed.. such a tiny little baby.. that’s right she was destined to meet me 🥺”
