The shirt that The Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia wore during the Eraserheads' Huling El Bimbo Reunion Concert in December last year is now up for public auction.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Ely said the money would be used to help fund the trip of Japanese-Filipino singer and songwriter Ena Mori to Austin, Texas, in the United States.
Mori is set to perform at the 2023 SXSW Music Festival, slated this March.
"The starting bid will be $50,000 and will be given to the highest bidder," he said.
The bidding period started on February 20 and will end at 12 noon on March 4.
The winner of the shirt will be revealed on the same day the bidding ends.

Under the mechanics set by Offshore Music, interested bidders must email the amount and personal information, including their complete name, age, and contact number, to [email protected].
The music label warned that failure to comply with the given instructions is considered invalid or declined.
After getting invited to the prestigious SXSW Music Festival in January, Ena Mori launched a fundraising campaign to fund her trip to Texas.
According to the 25-year-old singer, the expenses for the trip are shouldered by them and not the music organizer.
"With the effects of the pandemic and the gas shortage, the cost of travel has increased more than ever before, and that is why we would like to humbly ask for your help and support in making this reality," she earlier appealed to the public in her Instagram post.

In December last year, the prestigious British magazine New Musical Express recognized Ena Mori's "Don't Blame the Wild One!" as the Best Asian Album of 2022.
Ena Mori debuted in 2019 with a single EP album titled "Ena Mori".
She is known for her neon-light vibrance and lovelorn soul music.
