Katrina wrote in her post. </p><p>&quot;Mika, through Project Pearls, was given the chance to advocate for all kids in less fortunate communities to have the opportunity to have healthy meals,” she added.</p><p>Katrina also shared the message Mika delivered at the event, one that summed up the heart behind the initiative. &quot;Like what Mika said earlier, every child deserves to be loved and taken care of,&quot; she said.</p><p>For Mika, the outreach goes beyond a single feeding program. Katrina shared that the singer hopes to use her growing platform to draw more attention to the reality facing underprivileged children not just in Metro Manila, but across the entire country.</p><p>&quot;She is hoping that through her platform, in her own little way, she can be able to share awareness of what is happening to the kids, not only in Metro Manila, but all over the country,&quot; Katrina said. </p><p>&quot;No child should be left behind. Let&#x27;s do our part in helping those in need,&quot; she added.</p><p>Project Pearls is currently in need of food donations, not cash,  for the children under their care. Those who wish to help can reach out to the organization directly through their official social media channels.</p><p>The advocacy work adds another dimension to what has already been a big season for Mika. She launched her debut album <em>Mahika </em>under Star Music and held her first-ever album launch at the SM North Sky Dome last May. </p><p>She also released the music video for her single &quot;What If Tayo?&quot;, which has been making steady noise on fan-powered charts. But clearly, the music is only part of the story she wants to tell.</p>
