An organization of Filipino-Australians will stage the musical "Lift Off" on October 14 to raise funds for the victims of typhoons "Pedring" and "Quiel" in the Philippines. According to a report of The Filipino Australian, the musical will showcase the talents of Generation XY on Friday at the Blacktown Civic Centre’s Bowman Hall in New South Wales (NSW) in Australia.

The amount was remitted in May to the funds of the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal. - VVP, GMA News
