This song of DJ Alvaro is one of its kind detailing what this girl likes in a boy. She is not looking for a kind person but she has specific requirements from him. This song came out when girls in my college days were crazy about tall, young, handsome and rich kind of a guy. SO naturally, when I encountered the title of this song, I thought the singer would end up saying those qualities from a guy. I was mistaken. The singer was not looking for a preacher, a rich kids not even those qualities...

This one song was composed by an artist which is now being used as the campaign theme for a presidential candidate Leni Robredo. She is currently the Vice President of the country and she is one notch away from the presidential seat.It is so Pilipino when one volunteers for the cause of another person. I cannot help but remember the Bayanihan scene where fellow Pilipinos carry a hut of their neighbor. The picture below is my childhood memory of the word Bayanihan which means A spirit of civic unity and cooperation...

This is one of the songs my son likes singing. He was 8 years old when he was forced to sing on videoke. That is our past time in our family anyway. I really do not expect that he can finish an entire song but I believe my sister could always inspire him (or force him) to sing.My sister sent the video to me and I was so proud of my boy because he can express himself through a song. I am proud of him not just he tries hard to achieve something out of his own volition. I am also proud that he knows...

https://www.goodnewspilipinas.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Alden-Kath-HLG.jpgThis song never fails to send back the feeling of love. This is the theme song of the movie I posted above - HELLO, LOVE, GOODBYE.I really do not have much time watching movies but when I do, I enjoy it with so much gusto!I love movies created by Star Cinema. That's what babe and I normally watch when it comes to tagalog movies. Ok, the movie is a story about two Filipino overseas workers who met in Hong Kong. The guy is a bar tender while...

This is such a wonderful song from the band Orange and Lemons. It was used as the love song of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo in their movie "The Haws of Us". I remember this was a Star Cinema Production so I watched it in the big screen. I am not really a fun of Tagalog movies, or movies in general.I am reminded of 'Babe' when I hear this song. She was the first in mind when I Daniel Padilla sang it in the movie. In fact, I am not singing this song to babe once in a while because I just want her beside me. I want...

This song, Bato sa Buhangin is a song that reminds me about the beach. I have lived near the ocean for over a year now and I always enjoy the comfort of just looking at the sea and let my mind wonder through its vast horizon.I love the sound of the sea because it swallows the noise of everything. There are no noisy trucks, no babies crying, no barking nor crowing, just the waves splashing against the shore line. I also love the fact that my sea is a fishing community so I get excited when I...

Here is one song that keeps ringing my mind everyday. I learned this song when I was an active member of the church choir over a decade ago. I really love where the song goes... "Ang Kaibiga'y mag-aalay ng sarili nyang buhay"Meaning a friend will give up his/her life which reminds me of Jesus Christ. If we read the Bible, Jesus was still human when He prayed to God to "take this cup" but later on declared "Thy will be done". I felt His fear of giving up His life, of succumbing to His persecutors,...

Another classic created by Ryan Caybyab is this song. This was popularized by another OPM icon Hajji Alejandro. The song talks about Filipino music.  This reflects some Filipino culture integrated in its lyrics. We say thank you for the music because we have hymns to put baby to sleep, and the inspiration one gets from beautiful sights and scenes in nature. We express our feelings through music. We immortalize artists because of the songs they have created. We remember the Michael...

Here is another song written by the Original Pilipino Music Maestro Ryan Cayabyab. I love it when they call him the Maestro because he has created a lot of beautiful songs for lovers, for youth, for the environment and many more. I think I would spend an entire episode blogging about his songs. I have encountered one blog site, which I have posted below because I copied the lyrics from that site. I think, with my revived interest in writing about songs and celebrating Filipino talents, especially...

 Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last post and the best way for me to start anew is to write about a song that would signify PERMANENCE!"Hindi Magbabago" means something or someone will never change, or I can simply say, never change but it will not capture the translation entirely. That is how translation sometimes becomes troublesome. But let me do my best to translate them to you line by line.Why did I chose this song as my first entry after two years of absence? I have thought...
