Bangon

Taken From Rico Blanco - Your Universe- ricoblanco.com.ph

 

Countless Filipinos have heroically gone out of their way to help our brothers and sisters in this time of need. This is just my humble contribution as a singer and musician. I hope, in my own little way, I can help raise additional funds they badly need, and perhaps give a little boost to their morale to help them get back on their feet again.

I am offering a completely new song, ‘Bangon’ as a free download. Hopefully it will alsoraise some badly needed funds through your donations. Warner Music Philippines is currently helping me set up a bank account to accomodate your cash donations as well as a Paypal account for those of you who wish to help from overseas.

For those who wish to donate now, you can text Bangon to 5677. I am waiving all royalties, the amount of which will go to our countrymen affected by the typhoons.

Please feel free to download the track, use it, and share with your friends to spread the message of hope to everyone.

Thank you for your kindness. God bless. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

 

Still a huge UP Pep Squad fan!

Very exhausting day, i waited for hours in a very long queue. Hmm it’s just an exaggeration. I arrived in Araneta at around 11am, my friends were already there early in the morning so i just sneak in their queue haha. We got upper b, not bad. We were seated at the Ateneo region, neighbor! They’re actually nice in a way, they let us occupy their seats but… gave us blue balloons! So we had to cheer for them, not bad again because they’re neighbors! UP-ADMU relationship in cdc is different, they support each other. I got a UP cheer mat on one hand and a blue balloon on the other, cheer for UP then cheer for Ateneo then cheer again for UP haha. The Blue Babble Battalion was one of my fave squads. Their girls are really pretty! I expected them to be in top 3 last year. 

UP’s routine didn’t have enough wow factor unlike in the past two years. Their stunts were not flawless - one in pyramid and the other in a bow and arrow i guess. But the Ikot jeep and the blue book are cool! (rock) What i like most in UP Pep Squad (every year) are their tosses, they really toss high and there’s energy in every toss! Ateneo’s routine was also good, as far as i can remember they only fell in one stunt. Their moon walk is the best! FEU deserved the top spot, their routine was very polished and they have improved a lot from their past routines which were more of floor exercises. Scores: FEU-86.1, ADMU-83.4, UP-83.1 - ADMU’s and UP’s scores were close! it can be interchanged given another 16 counts *wink

I know that sdt fans are gonna hate me (i don’t care) but i was so elated that UST was not in top 3. “UST ang Pamantayan” - huh? since when? I like the scene when UP bid goodbye to UST after the winners were announced, waving hands ruled the loser sign. Even if UP Pep Squad didn’t win this year it’s OK, there’s always a next year and I’m still a huge UP PS fan! I commend all the squads for putting up better routines in this season. Many have improved but UP PS is still THE BENCHMARK OF CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY. Let’s go UP!

  There’s no such thing as the Big 4, only the BIG 3. Wag na ipilit! ~ i just remembered from a conversation haha

Icon of democracy

 Taken From Cory laid to rest beside Ninoy - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

“The procession brings back memories of 1983. Like 1983, the people lined the procession route to show their appreciation, gratitude and love to Tita Cory who served the country with her heart. Tita Cory loved the country the way she loved Ninoy - selflessly,” Tanada said. 

I didn’t know what happened during her administration because i was just a kid but from what i’ve read in the books and heard from the news she was a great leader who gave her all for the Filipinos. Thank you President Cory Aquino for restoring the democracy of our country.
