Proceeds from HIMIG: A Musical Expedition of the University Days 2025, were donated by the HAU – University Student Council (HAU-USC) to fisherfolk communities in San Miguel, San Antonio, Zambales, on September 10.

Worth P150,000, the aid included the construction of a payao — a traditional Filipino fish aggregating device (FAD) — and the distribution of relief goods to residents. The initiative was made possible through USC’s collaboration with the Atin Ito! Coalition. Beneficiaries were the San Miguel Women Fish Vendor Inc. and the San Miguel Pundaquit Fisherfolk Association.

Former HAU-USC President Emmanuel Manalastas said San Miguel was chosen after both the Atin Ito! Coalition and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) identified it as a community “in need of livelihood aid.”

Additionally, according to current HAU-USC President Adonis Cayanan, the HAU – University Student Government (HAUSG) turned over food packs and clothes to approximately 50 families.

“By supporting our fishermen, who are guardians of our seas and providers of food security, we affirm our commitment to social responsibility, environmental sustainability, and solidarity with marginalized sectors,” Cayanan said.

HIMIG’s Concert Head Maricon Guevarra also mentioned that the primary goal of UDAYS 2025 was to “amplify national issues,” particularly the West Philippine Sea dispute, thus organizing the concert in line with it.

“We designed the concert with this focus in mind and conducted extensive research to identify a suitable partner for the concert’s beneficiary,” she shared — emphasizing the previous council’s stance to “make every initiative advocacy-driven.”

Guevarra also explained that proceeds from the Angelite ticket sales were allocated to the outreach funds, while revenues from non-Angelite tickets were used to support council projects. 

The USC president further noted that the HAU-USC ensured full documentation of all collections, reflected in the official financial statements.
