With the primary aim of raising funds and generating hope through the universal language of music, Visual and Performing Arts Production Unit (VPAPU) together with Asper Creative Marketing, a digital startup line, holds their first-ever digital concert entitled Kaibigan at Barkadang Totoo (KA.BA.RA.TO. ) on May 8, 6 pm.
KA.BA.RA.TO is a yearly benefit concert organized by VPAPU, as an entry to the annual Cultural Arts Festival of the Cultural Arts Office.

American international hitmaker, David Archuleta, is also set to serenade online viewers as he completes the stellar line up of guest performers in the digital concert.
All proceeds of the concert will be given to the essentials of the frontliners battling the COVID-19 crisis since March this year.
