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
