Organized by the Philippine Council of the Mabuhay Collective, this year’s MabuFest marks the organization’s third project of the year. Now in its 15th annual edition, MabuFest continues to uphold its mission of supporting various initiatives in the Philippines.
This time, at the benefit concert where the Pinoy Big Brother alum will be performing, all donations and proceeds will directly support “Liter of Light” in the Philippines.

This global grassroots movement utilizes affordable materials to provide high-quality solar lighting to individuals and communities with limited or no access to electricity.
By working with celebrity headliners like Garcia, MabuFest not only entertains but also raises awareness about the conditions impacting Filipinos.
With the goal of giving back to the motherland through humanitarian causes, this benefit concert also allows talented members of the Fil-Am community to perform for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) community.
