This will be my first ever Justin Bieber post. I like some of his songs, they’re catchy and upbeat but I am not sure if am a Belieber. But for a good cause, I am reporting that Justin Bieber arrived in the Philippines at around 7 AM today, December 10, Tuesday to continue his efforts of raising funds to help the survivors of typhoon Yolanda.

As reported by ABS-CBN News, the young singer arrived via private plane which landed at a private hangar near Ninoy Aquino International Airport 2. Airport sources said Bieber arrived 7:10 AM with the immigration records also confirming the arrival.

Before his Philippine visit, Bieber was busy promoting on Twitter his “GiveBackPhilippines” campaign which aims to raise $1 million for the victims of typhoon Yolanda. In an Instagram video, Justin called for his fans to help him achieve his target donations amount. “Hey guys- it’s Justin. In the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, its victims in the Philippines need our help- and they need it now. That’s why I’ve decided to partner with Prizeo (an online platform for influencers to raise money and awareness for their chosen causes) to raise vital funds for the relief effort.”
