Media Advisory on Dili Kamo Nag-iisa January 7 football charity match

Media Advisory

Typhoon Sendong battered the Mindanao region and left the entire nation as well as the international community shocked and grieving following the grisly aftermath that included a terrible death toll.

As a nation we have a chance to stand as one with the victims and let them know they are not alone. Football is said to be more than a sport. It transcends borders, languages, beliefs, and cultures. And now, it will provide badly needed relief to the thousands and thousands affected by Typhoon Sendong.

“Dili kamo nag-iisa” is more than a football match. The match’s title is an amalgam of Bisaya and Tagalog and is meant to show the strength of unity and purpose that if one of us suffers, then we all stand together to care for one another thereby being far stronger. “Dili kamo nag-iisa” is to date the most meaningful football match in our nation's history because it is organized to raise funds for the victims and let them know we care. 

The match will be between a joint team of Azkals Alyansa and Internacional de Madrid, a Spanish league side, will be played on Jan. 7th at the Rizal Memorial Stadium at 4pm. The match will be preceded a celebrity football challenge at 2pm.
