The charity event, held at the Kleiner Sall, Kleine Michaeliskirche in Stadthausbrücken, Hamburg, sought to raise funds for the benefit of the Samahang Lingkod ng Bayan, a non-partisan, church-based organization based in Quezon City, that provide assistance to victims of natural calamities in the Philippines.
