Human rights advocate Bono calls for prayers for journalists, advocates, and volunteers.
Fans who gathered at the Philippine Arena went wild on Thursday after Hollywood band U2 rocked Manila with their hits at their “The Joshua
Tree” concert.
This was the first-ever concert of the legendary rock band, consisting of lead vocalist Bono, lead guitarist The Edge, Adam Clayton of bass
guitar, and drummer Larry Mullen Jr., in the Philippines.
Pinoy fans also harmoniously sang along as the band performed their hits With or Without You, Elevation, and Pride.
In the middle of the concert, Bono paid tribute to Red Cross volunteers and journalists.
“Red Cross are in the house tonight, volunteers, let's keep them in our prayers,” he said.
He added: “Also let's keep in our prayers the journalists, the truth tellers, the activists who keep this country spiritually safe. We salute you, truth tellers, everyday heroes.”
Human rights activist Bono also mentioned journalist Maria Ressa on his concert spiel.
