Dubbed Tara Na Sa Freedom Islands!, Tara Na Sa LLPPCHEA, the activity will start at 1 p.m. and will feature a “green forum,” island tour with organic meals. The sunset music jam will be capped off the activity with a stripped down acoustic set performance from the birthday girl and friends from True Faith, Alamid and other surprise guests.
