Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Facebook post ay ibinahagi ni Arhur ang saloobin sa sinapit ng ilan nating mga kababayan.
Saad niya: “I’m deeply distraught about the storm and flooding currently affecting the lives of people around the country.
“To my fans who have been looking forward to seeing me perform but can’t, please know I have been thinking of you.
“Every one of you who have saved up, borrowed money, plotted your leaves of absence, or sacrificed a portion of your salary for this. I will never take your efforts for granted."
DONATION DRIVE
May pakiusap din siya sa mga manonood ng kanyang concert: ang mag-donate in cash or in kind.
Ani Arthur: “To the fans who are able to attend despite the challenges posted by Bagyong Kristine, I appreciate you and your unyielding support. Help me show my love to your fellow fans in this time of need.
“We will be putting up boxes at the entrance where you can donate in cash or in kind. I will also be selling some of my stuff and my outfits during the concert online, with all the proceeds going to those directly affected by the calamity.
“Please hang tight for the details on how and when you can purchase them. We are reaching out to and hopefully collaborating with other donation drives to ensure that help is sent to the ones in need.”
