The recently launched, Filipino-made streaming service Upstream will be donating its proceeds to victims of the recent typhoons.
The said streaming service, led by filmmaker Erik Matti and producer Dondon Monteverde, has pledged 100% of the money gained from its launching project, “14 on 14,” to Ayala Foundation Inc.’s Project Pananagutan.
“With many of our fellow Filipinos hit by storm [Ulysses], Upstream would like to donate all the proceeds of our launching project #upstream14on14 to the victims of this disaster,” Matti announced on Instagram yesterday, Nov. 17.
