GMAKF launches ‘Rebuild Marawi’

GMAKF helps rebuild Marawi

GMA Network’s socio-civic arm, GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF), has launched multi-platform efforts to raise funds for its plans to help rebuild Marawi City. The project is aptly dubbed “Rebuild Marawi.”

GMAKF also created a music video for the theme song of its project titled “Ibangon Ang Marawi” which was composed and sung by young residents of Marawi City. Written by Aslanie Malawi and recorded by 13-year-old Johanisah “Lovely” Racman, the song poignantly invites everyone to unite and help Marawi City rise again from the rubble.

GMA Network also recently organized its yearly painting contest called Art Gap 2017, featuring the works of GMA employees and talents – also to help Rebuild Marawi. The winning paintings for this year’s Art Gap, with the theme “Peace And Giving,” are featured in GMA Kapuso Foundation’s 2017 all season greeting card set.
