October 13, 2016 - Sabine's 2nd birthday
She knew Jollibee well as a cute character on signages, fast food merchandise and standees. You can tell how much she loves him by the way she shouts his name every time she sees a Jollibee sign on road and say 'Hi Jollibee!." This is the first time she came face to face with the mascot. To her, of course, he's alive... and that look on her face is...
from 'To Love & Serve - Bukas Palad Chants' album released in 2009
Inspired by Jeremiah 31:33
"This chant may be sung in protest assemblies and marches, and for clamoring for social justice. It may also be used as an intercessory prayer (Prayers of the Faithful), and new lyrics may be written to suit the particular needs of the occasion and the community. - quoted fr...
A personal favorite since I heard its 1st recorded version on cassette back in the early 90s. The song is a 'dialogue' between man (or woman) and Christ on the cross and this is the scene I think the lyricist was picturing in his head when he was writing it. I hope it touches your heart the way it touches mine every single time I hear it.
You may need to play the video more than...

from Daniel Rodriguez' album, 'In The Presence', released in 2005 which showcases the singer's full-bodied tenor in this selection of classical renditions of inspirational song.
This is a very rare recording where you will hear the musical theater singer, Lea Salonga, use her lyric soprano voice.

Composed by George Canseco, this song originally released in 1983 was the biggest hit of Raymond Lauchengco. Those who grew up listening to the original would say that it was masterfully sang by Raymond. But did you know that he had no idea what he was singing about when he recorded the song?
In his cd inlay he shared, he was given the study tape the day before he was to record it....

The track is from the 1987 record album of Joey Albert entitled "Maligayang Pasko" which was re-released by Polyeast Records in 2014. It was made famous by the catchy Christmas song, “Kumukutikutitap”. However, if you will listen to whole album you will be amazed to hear the new arrangements of traditional Filipino Christmas tunes by Ryan Cayabyab, Louie Ocampo and others.

‘One’ is the 10th track of Paolo Montalban’s self-titled album released in 2003. Admittedly, I had been searching for a recording of this song for the longest time. It brings back memories from school as this was a staple in the repertoire of my alma mater's high school singing group in their regular performances. Then, I learned that the song was specifically written for them, the Kundirana. <...
from the album 'Gaya ng Gati' 2014 released by Universal records
What’s makes this recording so special is that we get to hear Gary V. sing a signature tagalog song of his fiercest ‘rival’ in the '80s, Martin Nievera. It’s just so amazing to hear his version of this song that's one of Martin's biggest hit that was first released in 1987.

Payapang Daigdig is undoubtedly one of the most popular tagalog 'Christmas hymn' to date. No collection of classic Filipino Christmas carols is ever complete without this song in it. It has even been regarded as the 'Silent Night' of the Philippines, though there is no clear reference about Christmas in the lyrics.
The fact is 'Payapang Daigdig' was not intended as a Chr...
A personal favorite in Ryan Cayabyab's 'Pasko II' album. The words and melody are simple but can tug your heartstrings the moment you hear the first line.
Note: Very minor change in the wording were effected on the video. Changes were made based on how I heard the song was sung in the actual audio track (after closely and repeatedly listening to it and comparing it to how another ...

Originally sung by then rising Leo Valdez in the fourth Metropop Song Writing Competition of 1981, this song became the theme of the original Filipino hit musical of the same title... and continues to inspire Filipinos... until now.
For me, this is the ultimate song of empowerment written in Filipino by far. Gines Tan's 'Magsimula Ka' is a gift to those who choose to stay stuck in...
Finally, an instrumental version of this masterpiece. Thanks to Mr. Miyer Bernabe, who did the MIDI sequencing, for granting me the permission to use his work in this minus one video of 'Paskong Walang Hanggan'. You are a genius. Mabuhay ka!

Ang Puso Ko'y Nagpupuri (Magnificat)
words: based on Luke 1:46-55
music: Eduardo Hontiveros SJ
arrangement: Paulo Tirol
Bunga ng 30-day retreat; Inaawit sa Misa (pag-aalay/komunyon); sa mga banal na pagsasanay; lalo na sa pag oordena ng mga pari at diakno, o sa pagtatalaga ng mga madre, seminarista at iba pang layko.
Ito ay awiting nagpupuri sa Manlilikha sa lahat ng mga bagay na Kanyang ipinagkaloob; dulot ay tigib ng pag-ibig at pagmamahal sa bayan na Kanyang hinirang. Ang awiting ito ay angkop bilang pambungad na awit sa banal na misa.
Hango sa aklat ng mga Panalangin ng Bayan ni Fr. Ruperto Santos ng san Carlos Seminary.
Maliban sa Misa, maaring awitin ito sa mga paunang bahagi ng mga litanya, sa mga banal na pagsasanay, lalong lalo na sa mga panahon ng Adbiyento at Kuwaresma.
Maliban sa Salmong Tugunan, Ito's angkop na awitin habang nagninilay o nananalangin pagkakomunyon sa Misa, o sa mga banal na pagsasanay.
Maaring awitin sa Kmunyon sa Misa; Gayundin angkop na awitin sa binyag (habang binubuhusan ng tubig ang bata o habang isinusuot ang damit pambinyad at sinisindihan ang kandila ng mga magulang, ninong at ninang).
Maliban sa bahaging ito ng Misa, maaaring awitin ito habang nagwiwisik ng tubig sa pagbabasbas ng mga tao katulad ng ga Misa sa Linggo ng Pagkabuhay. Maaaring awitin sa pagtatalaga sa mga kasapi ng mga samahang pangsimbahan.
Maliban sa pagiging Salmong Tugunan, maaring awitin ito sa komunyon o sa iba pang sandali ng pagninilay at pananalangin, katulad ng mga banal na pagsasanay, prusisyon, paglalakbay sa banal na lugar (peregrinasyon).
Maaring awitin sa pagkokomunyon. Angkop din para sa binyag. Isang awit ng papuri na madaling matutunan ng prayer groups; makabuluhang awitin pagkatapos makapagkumpisal ng grupo o di kaya'y pagtatalaga/panunumpa/pagsasariwa ng sinumpaan sa harap ng Panginoon Diyos.
