After a series of natural disasters, including a major earthquake and back-to-back typhoons, many communities across the Philippines have continued to show support for families affected in recent months. On November 26, 2025, Dillingers 1903, a well-loved spot in Greenbelt, joined these efforts by hosting a fundraising event featuring a special unplugged set from Parokya ni Edgar.

The initiative was held in partnership with Courage Cebu and supported by Dewar’s.
Even before the show officially kicked off, Dillingers was already packed. Every seat was taken, conversations filled the room, and a few guests were still hoping to score last-minute tickets despite the event being sold out days earlier.
Once the performance began, the evening took on a warm, communal energy. What was initially planned as a 45-minute set turned into a two-hour performance, with the band sharing stories, joking around, and playing crowd favorites. The audience stayed engaged throughout, singing along, cheering, and enjoying the unexpectedly intimate atmosphere.
Guests also responded generously whenever donation calls were made. By the end of the night, the event raised ₱400,000 for Courage Cebu, a group of dedicated mothers who have been providing relief support to calamity-affected communities since 2019.
