American singer-songwriter Katy Perry is lending a hand to the victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng that claimed lives and created massive damage to property.

“I think it’s wonderful,” says Katy about turning her Manila concert into a fund-raiser titled Katy Perry Rocks for Relief. It will be held tonight at 8 at SM Mall of Asia.

“The moment I got off from the plane, I thought maybe I’ll just go to my hotel and rest,” Katy continues. “They gave me the opportunity to be hands-on and go out to help people affected by the (flooding). (It’s) knowing where you guys are coming from.”

It has changed Katy’s perspective “to do more than just sing and to help out people.”

Arnel Pineda and Neal Schon of Journey, American band Mae and Jed Madela will also lend a helping hand in this concert, they waived their talent fees for the event.

What do the fans expect from the concert? Well, it will be a night full of rockin’ with pop touches. You will also see pink, knowing how girlie and feminine Katy is. Perhaps, there will be fabulous dresses, too.
