The Asian American Cultural Center proudly presents…

******Rutgers’ first ever Asian American Hip-Hop Concert******

Co-sponsored by RAPS (Rutgers Association of Philippine Students) and Rutgers KSA (Korean Student Association), and working in conjunction with the Asian Hip Hop Summit tour, this concert will be featuring HUGE underground Asian American hip-hop artists such as

Dumbfoundead
Lyraflip
DJ Zo
Lyricks & Manifest
Magnetic North
Decipher
…and our very own from Jersey itself – Johnny Phlo**

Also featuring dance performances from *Made in Hip-Hop*, “RDT”, and !NSPIRED! Dance Troupe!

This is the ONE EVENT you DO NOT want to miss this semester!!

This is event is FREE! BUT we do ask for a suggested donation of $5 in which ALL PROCEEDS of the night will be donated to the Ayala Foundation for the Philippine Flood Relief.

There will be raffles for prizes as well, so invite your friends, and come see what the Asian American Hip-Hop movement is all about!

The proceeds will be donated to help towards the flood devastation in the Philippines.

A massive rescue operation is under way in the Philippines where at least 73 people are confirmed to have been killed in the wake of torrential rains.

Tropical Storm Ketsana triggered the worst flooding in decades in the capital Manila and nearby provinces.
Defence Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said troops, police and civilian volunteers had rescued more than 4,000 people – many clinging to each other on roofs.
More than 250,000 have been driven from their homes, officials say.
Military chief Gen Victor Ibrado flew by helicopter over suburbs of Manila on Sunday to see for himself drenched survivors marooned on top of half-submerged buses and on rooftops.
TV footage showed some survivors clinging to high-voltage power lines.
Correspondents say the rescue effort is intensifying as the weather cleared on Sunday.
But some reports estimate that 80% of the capital is still under water.
The government has declared a “calamity” in Manila and 25 provinces, allowing access to emergency funds.
Latest confirmed figures say that 73 people are dead and at least 23 others are missing.
One report puts the number of dead and missing at 106.

Manila bus driver George Andrada said he had lost everything in the floods.
“It happened very fast. All of a sudden everything was under water. I was not able to save anything except the shirt I am wearing,” he said.
Some residents have emailed the BBC with their experiences. Lovely Lansang in Marikina, near Manila, says: “I am currently seeking refuge in a shopping centre. Many people are stuck either on their roofs or in the second storey of their houses.
“The city is also without clean water and electricity. Right now, I am still in the shopping centre because the roads here are impassable,” the email adds.
The equivalent of a whole month’s rain fell in six hours as Ketsana, also known as Ondoy, lashed the northern island of Luzon.
On Saturday, TV images showed gushing water turning roads into rivers, with floods chest-deep and rising.
