Ricky Martin accepts award for efforts in Puerto Rico: ‘This is only the beginning.’

Ricky Martin was awarded the 2017 iHeartRadio Premio Corazon Latino Award for his support following Hurricane Maria in his homeland Puerto Rico and his long-time global efforts to decrease human trafficking.

Martin took the stage at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami Saturday alongside other artists including Camila Cabello, Luis Fonsi, and Diplo. He performed ‘Gracias Por Pensar En Mi’ and ‘Vente Pa' Ca.’

Enrique Santos, chairman of iHeartLatino and on-air personality for iHeartRadio, hosted the concert.

The event also recognized first responders in the aftermath of the recent hurricanes and earthquakes in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, Mexico and the Caribbean.

“This is a long commitment,” Martin said of his foundation’s recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. “This is only the beginning.”
