Celebrity singer Bruno Mars donated US$100,000 for the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan on Saturday, March 22, during an event at Solaire Resort and Casino. Half-Filipino and half-Puerto Rican, the Grammy award winner said he was excited to be back in Manila, adding, “One of the most special moments for me in my career, was coming here a few years ago and performing with my whole Filipino family watching.” The donation was handed to ABS-CBN’s Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc, with funds coursed through its children’s rights and welfare arm, Bantay Bata 163. A huge portion of the money will go to scholarship programs for children.
