Among those who first took to Twitter was American alternative-pop rock band OneRepublic, who “can’t believe we were there yesterday afternoon (Nov. 6)” for a concert in Manila last week.
@OneRepublic: “To all our Filipino fans- love u guys, be safe, take cover, God speed.. We can’t believe we were there yesterday afternoon. This is crazy… Sending our thoughts and prayers to the victim’s families of the devastating typhoon in the Philippines.”
RnB Princess Rihanna, who also held a show in town in September, told her Navy fanbase to “please keep the people of The Philippines in your prayers!!! I was just there and this truly breaks my heart!!!”
Actor Josh Duhamel of “Transformers” film series also said that he is “Praying for the Philippines.”
Half-Filipina singer Jessica Sanchez was also active in the micro-blogging site with a series of tweets on the disaster over the weekend.
@JessicaESanchez: “Praying for the Philippines right now and wishing everyone safety from Typhoon Haiyan!”
Sanchez followed it up with, “I am praying for the Philippines and all my Filipino Blujays this morning in the wake of this horrendous storm! Be safe and stay strong! The news from the Philippines this morning is heartbreaking!” also urging followers to “find a way to help!”
International recording artists Marie Digby and David Archuleta, who, at some point, have made the Philippines their home also called for prayers.
@mariedigby: “Keeping The Philippines in my thoughts during this difficult and dangerous time… Hoping everyone stays safe <3”
@DavidArchie: “Prayers for our friends in the Philippines and all the areas being affected by Typhoon Haiyan. (Team Archie).”
Singers-songwriters Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles were also among those who hopped aboard the sympathy train.
@joshgroban: “My heart is heavy for the people of the Philippines tonight. Devastating.”
@SaraBareilles: “Sending love to the Philippines. Tragic and powerful typhoon and major loss of life. Keeping that entire region in my prayers.”
Even Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao’s rival Floyd Mayweather had his “thoughts and prayers (to) everyone in the Philippines.”
