F✦FOREVER has donated P2.5 million to the ABS-CBN Foundation to support its relief efforts for communities affected by the recent earthquake in Mindanao.
The contribution was made public in a press release issued Tuesday by ABS-CBN Foundation.
The same artists also donated P2.5 million to GMA Kapuso Foundation's Operation Bayanihan, which is likewise providing assistance to communities affected by the disaster, bringing their total donation to P5 million.
In its statement, the ABS-CBN Foundation thanked Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Vic Chou, Ashin and Live Nation -- the promoter of the foursome's current tour -- "for their generosity and solidarity with the people of Mindanao during this challenging time."
Following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Mindanao on June 8 and claimed dozens of lives, the ABS-CBN Foundation said it has been "coordinating with local partners and communities on the ground to provide immediate assistance."
