MANILA, Philippines—Justin Bieber not only performed on a makeshift stage, but he also hooped at makeshift court.

The international singer played basketball with kids in Tacloban during his visit Tuesday afternoon.

Smartcares Instagram account posted photos of Bieber playing against Gilas head coach Chot Reyes and the kids  in Tacloban that brought cheers and smiles to the survivors of Supertyphoon “Yolanda.”

Bieber arrived in Manila earlier in the day after launching a fundraising campaign for the victims of “Yolanda”.

He has since raised over $500,000.
