i was watching a noontime show on tv last sunday and i saw a music video featuring various artists sing one song for our country. the song is entitled ‘Bagong Simula.’
this is actually the theme song of ABS-CBN’s advocacy campaign called ‘bayanijuan.’
according to their website, the BAYANIJUAN project, under the aegis of the ABS-CBN Foundation, will lead government NGOs and the private sector to work together in the spirit of Bayanihan to revitalize and strengthen the Philippines, one community at a time.

i admire this company’s initiative to help our countrymen. we should support them, because our government is busy ‘supporting’ other things.

Here’s the lyrics of Bagong Simula by Bayanijuan courtesy of my bebeh. ^_^

Bagong Simula

[Kevin Roy]
Parang isang gabing walang katapusan
Sa bawat mesa, asin lagi ang ulam
umaalog sa alkansya pisong pinagpawisan
Batang nakahubad kumot ang lansangan

[Yael Yuzon]
lupaing kinalbo minsa’y nadidilig
Ng dugo sa away ng kapatid sa kapatid

[Mark Abaya]
Sa kalagayang ito tayo ay nakagapos
Parang awa sana ay dito magtapos

(CHORUS)
Todo na to!

Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

[Kitchie NAdal]
wag lang maulit kapalarang kay pait
wag magpabaya wag kang manahimik
wag kang manlalamang, wag kang manggigipit
wag magkanya-kanya, magkaisang bisig

[Yeng Constantino]
Pag malasakit ito’y kabayanihan
gawin mo ano mang makayanan
kalagayan ng baya’y sumasama lamang
kung walang gagawin tayong mamamayan

(Chorus)
Todo na to!

Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

[Placid]
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

[Tugma]

[Narration]
Ipakita natin sa ating mga magulang
mga kapatid kaya natin to
isang subok pa, sabay sabay na
walang kokontra, todo na to

(CHORUS)Todo na to!

Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw

Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

Bagong simula ng ating bayan

I’m Mary Jane Cabrera. I’ve been alive for 23 years and 9 months now (Thanks Jinky! ^_^). I was born on the 23rd of February, 1985. I live in the city of Iloilo, Philippines. I’ve been working at a BPO company—a “call center” for a year and 3 months now. I love reading, listening to music on my iPod, and just hanging out with my friends and my bebeh. Most of the time, I’m actually sleeping. :) I love going to new places and take photographs of them. I collect books and read them of course.

I’ve been thinking of having my own blog for a long time now and now that I have one I don’t know where to start. Since I’m really not that fluent in English, I’ll be writing in TagLish (thats Tagalog-English. :) ). And Hiligaynon also, my native tongue! I’ll be writing about everything I can think of.. ^_^

I’ll be able to share my views and experiences to people online now.

And my bebeh will get to know me more through my blog. ;)

…Eversince having my own blog. I have found myself thinking of things to write about.
And wherever i go i always bring with me a small notebook and a pencil so if something comes up I could scibble it right away. ;)

Finally! ^_^
