Stars of “Roja” brought another highlight to “ASAP Presents: Tulong-Tulong, Kapamilya: A Benefit Concert” as Kyle Echarri and Kai Montinola performed Andra Day’s “Rise Up,” a song about resilience and standing despite the challenges one faces, living up to its title.
After singing, they were joined by Robi Domingo and Donny Pangilinan, who made a special announcement, “On behalf of everyone na bumubuo ng “Roja,” we are donating para sa ating mga Kapamilyang naapektuhan ng bagyo.”
Kai Montinola, speaking to her kababayans in Cebu, gave hope to everyone, “Sana ‘wag nating hayaan ang sarili natin na malumbay, we are in this together. We are rooting for everyone’s safety.” Kyle shared his own words of encouragement, “Laban lang, manalig lang tayo, we have to just pray.”
The “Roja” cast revealed that they themselves were affected during their shoot by the early stages of the typhoon, facing disruptions in their taping schedule and some of the cast members got the flu. Yet they chose to turn their struggles into a message of perseverance, encouraging everyone to keep the faith and continue fighting. As they reminded the audience, “There is hope and there is light.”
