World-famous pop superstar Madonna took time off rehearsals for her two-night concert in the Philippines to spend time at a shelter for homeless children in Manila on Tuesday, Feb 23 (Monday, US time).

“Chillin’ with my homies”, Madonna said in a caption to an Instagram selfie with three children, as they lay on cardboard mats on the floor of Bahay Tuluyan, home to about 500 abused or abandoned children.

Catherine Scerri, an official with Bahay Tuluyan, said Wednesday that they learned Madonna was visiting only an hour ahead of her arrival.

Madonna, who is performing for the first time in the Philippine shores, is known for her provocative lyrics and risqué stage performances.

The passionate humanitarian wrote: ‘Celeste gives me the guided tour of Hospicio de San Jose.

“The Rebel Heart Tour” began in Montreal, Canada in September previous year, before making the rounds in the rest of North America, Europe, and, now, in Asia, where the American singer-songwriter has never toured in extensively. Bahay Tuluyan, a non-government organization that provides a variety of programs and services aimed at preventing and responding to abuse and exploitation of children in the Philippines, is located in Leveriza Street in Manila.

A Catholic bishop in Singapore called for a boycott of her concert for insulting religion.
