Ben & Ben is Caritas PH's New Ambassadors

by Clyde Ericson Nolasco

In a press conference held last June 4 at the University of Santo. Tomas, Ben&Ben’s Miguel and Paolo Guico were officially launched as the newest ambassadors of Caritas Philippines’ flagship program, Alay Kapwa. 

The event was part of Caritas Philippines’ 50th anniversary celebration, titled Sa Kapwa Ko Ay Alay: 50 Taon Ng Pag-Asa.

As part of their role, Ben&Ben released the song “Kapwa Ko ay Alay,” which was composed exclusively for the Alay Kapwa campaign. The song aims to inspire the listeners to extend help and compassion to those in need.

The band will also take part in Alay Kapwa’s 50th anniversary benefit concert, “Pagdiriwang ng Pag-asa.” It will be held on July 8 at the Araneta Coliseum.

While primarily represented by the Guico twins, Ben&Ben is an OPM folk-band with nine members known for their heartfelt songs. Formed in 2016, Ben&Ben rose to fame through their hit tracks such as Kathang Isip, Bibingka and Leaves.
