It is estimated that 1.9 million Filipinos are believed to be suffering from the genetic condition of Psoriasis. Some choose to hide their skin affliction by all means possible and by all means, that is close to living in seclusion, hiding from the rest of the world. Psoriasis sufferers much like Ichthyosis sufferers try to put up a brave front to fend off the stigma that goes with such skin conditions.
PsorRocks is a benefit concert organized by PsorPhil (The Psoriasis Philippines Foundation). Their aim is to generate awareness on the Psoriasis skin condition:
1. Psoriasis is not contagious.
2. The money earned from the concert will go to information-educational campaigns and programs for Filipinos suffering from Psoriasis.
3. PsorPhil links the economically-challenged Psoriasis patients to institutions who can fund their medicines and treatments.
The PsorRocks concert features the following bands: 6 Cyclemind, Grace Note, Calla Lily, Kenyo, Cueshe, Slapshock, Even, Tricia Garcia, General Luna, Up Dharma Down.
The event will be held on:
- Date: 20 August 2011

- Location: Baypark Area, Service Road of Roxas Boulevard (near Raha Sulayman Plaza)
