MANILA — As people struggle to adjust to their new reality during these dark times, those in the arts sector included, a group of theater artists, led by Lea Salonga, have teamed up for a cover of the hopeful OPM classic, “Umagang Kay Ganda.”

The cover — an inspiring show of solidarity — was done to shed light on a fundraiser to help their colleagues who have lost work due to the imposed lockdown.

It featured around 50 artists, including husband and wife Robert Seña and Isay Alvarez, Nyoy Volante, and Rachel Alejandro, to name a few.

“Creative industry workers who live from one gig to another, one show to the next, one production, one concert, one screenplay, one film to the next – along with the production crew et. al. - have been terribly affected due to the cancellation of many events,” it was highlighted.

The Artists Welfare Project stand to benefit more than “7,000 creative workers in different disciplines who seek help to get food on the table for their families.”

“Sa lahat ng mga artista at cultural workers – freelance artists – sa lahat ng fields, darating din ang umaga.” a message from the organizers of the fundraiser read.
