Twin brothers Paolo and Miguel Benjamin, who lead the band, were introduced as the new faces of the program during a special event held on June 4 at the University of Santo Tomas.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Ben&amp;Ben&rsquo;s songs talk about love, hope, and community&mdash;the same values we believe in,&rdquo; said Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo, President of Caritas Philippines. &ldquo;They will help us reach more people, especially the youth, and encourage them to support our mission.&rdquo;
The connection is personal for the twins. Their mother used to volunteer for Caritas Philippines, which made them familiar with the work of Alay Kapwa even as children.
During the event, Ben&amp;Ben also performed the new Alay Kapwa theme song titled &lsquo;Sa Kapwa Ko ay Alay,&rsquo; written by Robert Labayen and composed by Jonathan Manalo.&nbsp;
As part of their role, Ben&amp;Ben will also lead a fundraising concert on July 8 at the Araneta Coliseum. The goal is to raise money and awareness for Caritas Philippines&rsquo; programs that help the poor, the sick, and those affected by disasters.
This is part of the &ldquo;BE 1N A MILLION&rdquo; campaign, which invites one million Filipinos to become donors and volunteers. Caritas encourages everyone to give not just money, but also their time and skills to help others.
&ldquo;To all the young people out there&mdash;this is your chance to be part of something meaningful,&rdquo; Bishop Bagaforo said.
With Ben&amp;Ben now joining the cause, Caritas Philippines hopes to inspire more Filipinos to live with kindness, generosity, and faith.
