Spongecola: Rocking & Rebuilding in Bohol

Hundreds died, thousands were injured and infrastructure worth millions crumbled down when Bohol was jolted by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake last October 13, 2014. 

More than the loss of lives and properties, it was the destruction and the damage wrought on our centuries- old churches that really broke the hearts of Boholanos. 

They were more than just symbols of our faith. They were part of our lives and until now, a sense of collective loss is still being felt by many


This is where Congressman Aris Aumentado, the youthful and dynamic 2nd District Representative of Bohol, came into the rescue. 

Through a benefit concert series that he initiated & supported, he has been able to successfully raise donations to help rebuild some of the damaged churches from the Diocese of Talibon.

Dubbed Rock & Rebuild, the concert series was launched last May 23 with Spongecola, topbilling the event that was staged in Talibon, Bohol with K & N Productions of LJ Lumayag handling the event.

It was a memorable gig mainly because it was my first time to handle a concert’s directorial job
