BACOLOD CITY––“Be prayerful, and if you can, go to online mass every day.”

This was the advice of singer-songwriter Jose Mari Chan to people suffering due to COVID-19.

“Faith that we believe that Jesus is God’s only begotten son who was born to this earth to save us from our sins so there will be eternal life for all of us after this journey. Hope that we will reach our destination as true Christians and charity through kindness towards others,” he said in a Zoom gathering Saturday of media practitioners from around the country.

“For those of us who have been blessed sufficiently, we should reach out to those who are in need, “he added.

Chan, an adopted son of Bacolod City, said it is important to connect with God, especially during difficult times.

Chan spent Saturday afternoon with the media dishing out advice, giving history lessons, teaching them Chinese words, and regaling them with stories on how he gained inspiration for songs he composed.
