Sharon Cuneta, Gary V, Martin Niviera, and Lea Salonga are just some of the big names singing together in this music vid by the composer who brought us the popular expat song “Tara Na, Byahe Tayo!”
This one has an inspiring message to it, and was the theme song of the United Nations-millenium development goals.

Here are the lyrics in Tagalog to sing-along -
Cell phone. It’s not just for calling or texting your loved ones anymore. It’s for money wire transfer now.
“More than 5.5 million Filipinos now use their cell phones as virtual wallets, making the Philippines a leader among developing nations in providing financial transactions over mobile networks.”
According to this AP news, Filipinos now use the cell phone as a mobile banking service, where one can receive money directly from a bank.
Say your mom is working overseas. You send a text messge to a bank line dedicated to this service, requesting for money transfer. In a matter of seconds, the transaction is …read more

KC Concepcion has found a new fan in me. She is classy, gorgeous and such a natural on stage. And her voice! She definitely looks like her dad, but she has taken her mom’s gift of song and made it her own.
Watch this YouTube video of KC singing with heartthrob Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby.
Do I detect a blooming crush on Piolo’s part? Watch the way he holds her hand! And they call each other “Kristina” and “PJ”. I heard they’d love to make a movie together. Now, that will bust the kilig meters.

I admit I had to sing along with Christian Bautista to find exactly which lyrics he forgot. I can see how he could have forgotten a couple of lines. He was probably nervous singing a capella all by himself, after all. If I had to do what he did, I would have a cheat sheet in my hand to make sure I don’t miss a word!
For all of you/us who had to search online to find the lyrics of the Philippine National Anthem (c’mon admit it, can you actually sing it without any uncertainty if you’re all by yourself?), here …read more
Bayang Magiliw
Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo’y buhay.
Do you know the full lyrics? Can you sing it without help? Most of us growing up in the Philippines know this by heart. After all since kindergarten, we sing it almost every morning, if not every Monday morning before classes begin. But if you’ve been out of school for a while, well… you may begin to forget.
I can emphatize with this famous singer-actor, but I would not want to be in shoes! He sang the Lupang Hinirang in a boxing tournament recently, and sang it with emotion… From beginning, to the …read more
One of our readers, Inah, has requested even more Tagalog riddles. I believe it’s for a school project. We’re always happy to help further the education of our (fellow) youth. So here are some more for you. Answers will be posted next week, but feel free to post your guesses in the comments:
1. Kung kailan tahimik, saka nambubuwisit. (When it’s quiet, that’s the time it annoys people.)
