"More and more Filipinos are getting AIDS or HIV. The government alone cannot stop the deadly disease from spreading, that's why we also have to do our part. The musical event will be a big help in raising public awareness," Cosme said.
"What better way to spread love this February? The audience will not only enjoy music and party all night long but they will also learn more about AIDS/HIV and its prevention," he added.
The Red Whistle campaign was organized by a group of young individuals in response to the growing number of new HIV cases and AIDS related deaths in the country.
In November last year, the Department of Health's National Epidemiology Center has reported that there were 212 new HIV-positive individuals. This was 89 percent higher compared to the same period in 2010.
Most of the cases, or 94 percent, were males and their ages ranged from 17-73. The NEC surveillance reports showed that fifty-eight percent (58%) of the reported cases were from the National Capital Region.
The data also showed that of the 212 HIV positive cases, three were reported as AIDS cases, one female and two males.
Concert tickets are sold at P50. Buy them at these ticket outlets: Astroplus/Astrovision, Odyssey and Metrowalk Pasig.
