Entertainers who have performed at one time or another at Resorts World Manila have tweeted messages of support in the aftermath of Friday’s armed robbery incident that sparked a fire at the casino-hotel-mall complex.
Tony award-winning musical theater actress Lea Salonga tweeted a message of solidarity and hope hours after the tragic incident. Lea is a frequent headliner of Resorts World Manila concerts at the Newport Performing Arts Theater and a judge on the talent search series “The Voice of the Philippines” which is broadcast live from the venue.
To our friends at @rwmanila, we stand with you. You've been a great home for @TheVoiceABSCBN and we will rock together again in July.
