Watch the music video here:

Tuwing umuulan ay naaalala tayong dalawa
Kay sarap isipin
Na may kasama sa buhay pag bumaha

Chorus:
Sukob na, halika na
Sabay tayo sa payong ko
Hawak na, kapit pa
Sa payong ko magkasama tayo …

Hinding-hindi ka pababayaan
Na mag-isa sa ulan
Aalagaan, magtatawanan
Wala na ‘tong iwanan …

Chorus 2:
Sukob na, halika na
Sabay tayo sa payong ko
Hawak ka, kapit pa
Umula’t, bumagyo magkasama tayo …

Bridge:
Di ko na inakala pa, na ika’y paparito
Ngunit salamat na lamang
At dumating ka sa buhay ko …
(Repeat chorus 2)

What do you think about her move?

Conceptualized for the 150th anniversary of Red Cross, “I Move, I Give, I Love” shares the key principle of the said organization – to bring assistance without discrimination to people in need— through an inspiring list of tracks sure to move its listeners. First on the list is the theme song of Red Cross entitled “Bagong Umaga”, sung by the three versatile singers in the country, Toni Gonzaga, Erik Santos and Yeng Constantino. Other songs are : “A Hero Has Arrived” (Nyoy Volante), “Hawak Kamay” (Yeng Constantino), “I Believe I Can Fly” (Erik Santos), “Power of The Dream” (Toni Gonzaga), “Kasama” (Aiza Seguerra), “Free” (Rosella Nava with the Bukas Palad), “Today” (Raki Vega), “It Can Only Get Better” (Charice), “Tara-tena” (Kyla and Kaya with V3”, “Kaleidoscope World” (Akafellas), “Today I’ll See The Sun” (Karel Marquez) and “What A Wonderful World” (Charlie Green). Two bonus tracks are also included in the album: “Life Power” and “Always First, Always Ready, Always There”

The singers who took part in the project were carefully chosen. “Choosing the artists who will be part of this project was a tedious task,” Ms. Gwendolyn T. Pang shared, Secretary General of the Philippine National Red Cross. “We really have to consider artists with great sense of compassion.”

Their participation in this project was primarily out of their desire to encourage the listeners of the album to join and become involved in helping. Meaning, the artists offered their voices for gratis and did not expect anything in return.

The endeavor of Red Cross and Star Records to aid doesn’t stop with providing music alone. In fact, it extends up to the sales of the album for the proceeds of “I Move, I Give, I Love” will go to Red Cross also.

On June 24, the said album will be officially launched together with PNRC’s “Our World, Your Move” campaign, thought to alert the public about the recent pandemic, Influenza A (H1N1) Virus.

“Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo: Ako Ang Simula” calls on Filipinos, especially the youth, to get involved this early by registering as voters and closely watching preparations for the 2010 race.

“Many young Filipinos have become apathetic and cynical that real change can ever happen in the country,” ABS-CBN Senior Vice President for News and Current Affairs Maria Ressa said. “But we are telling them to have faith and do something about it. We have one year to change traditional politics in our country and we are empowering them through this multimedia campaign.”

Ressa said young Filipinos can initiate change as early as now by registering to vote. ABS-CBN will be setting up voter registration booths on May 11 in Metro Manila, Pampanga, Cebu, and Davao. On its web site (abs-cbnnews.com) and through text, it will also encourage voters here and abroad to report their concerns and observations on the coming elections.

She also urged people to join the campaign and sign up at “Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo” (BMPM) booths on Monday. Ressa said, “We successfully used BMPM in 2007 – when Filipinos across the country used their cellphones to report anomalies, violence and payoffs during elections – the first time ever that mobile technology was used for a political purpose – to patrol the votes.” Now we are taking it one step further -using television, radio, cable TV, the Internet and mobile phone technology to empower Filipinos to push for change across ABS-CBN’s multiplatform structure, which encompasses television, radio, cable TV, the Internet, and mobile technology.

The May 11 activities will begin in ABS-CBN’s top-rating morning show “Umagang Kay Ganda,” which will be held at the historic La Salle gymnasium in Greenhills, where the first quick election count was held in 1986. A voter and BMPM registration booth will be set up in La Salle.

ABS-CBN Newsgathering Head Charie Villa said ABS-CBN News teams will also be deployed in Pampanga, Cebu, and Davao where they will report on voter registration in these areas and the current political situation there. For the entire day, ABS-CBN’s Ces Orena Drilon will be anchoring from Davao; Julius Babao from Cebu; and Pinky Webb from Davao.

Voter registration and BMPM booths will be set up in San Fernando Plaza in San Fernando, Pampanga; Plaza Independencia in Cebu City; and People’s Park in Davao City.

In the evening, ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel, will be bringing together for the first time the reported presidential aspirants at a leadership forum at the Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City. The forum will be aired live from 7 pm to 9pm, also on Monday. Confirmed guests as of May 7 are Senators Panfilo Lacson, Francis Escudero, Mar Roxas, Richard Gordon; Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio; and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.

Ressa said the campaign will also be made in cyberspace, especially the social networking sites such as Multiply, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. abs-cbnnews.com will launch its online and texting polling on choices for 2010 as well as the issues that the public thinks should be addressed by the next president.

ABS-CBN is partnering with Artist Revolution and YouthVote Philippines who will be staging a mini-concert at the Music Museum at 8pm titled “365 Days to Change…Toda Na ‘To.” ABS-CBN anchor Atom Araullo will be hosting the event.

Introduced in 2007, BMPM empowered citizens to patrol their votes by encouraging them to report election-related anomalies using new media. Its huge success didn’t only spark citizen participation, it also enabled ABS-CBN to document illegal election practices all over the country. It has received recognition from the Philippine Quill Awards, the Anvil Awards, and the Gold Quill Awards.

Your Song Presents: Underage

After the engaging story of My Only Hope comes a whole new chapter of Your Song Presents, the remake of the 80′s movie ‘Underage’.

Matt Evans and Melissa Ricks were last seen in the teleserye Iisa Pa Lamang with Claudine Barretto and Gabby Concepcion. And now, they are back in the limelight as they star the highly-anticipated TV version of Underage which will start on March 1.

Together with Melissa Ricks and Matt Evans are Empress Shuck, Lauren Young, Valene Montenegro, AJ Perez, Rafael Rosell, William Lorenzo and Sylvia Sanchez who will all give life to important roles in the story.

Since the feel of the original Underage movie is quite sexy, the young stars will be taking on mature roles in their new drama mini-series. However, they clarified that the TV version will not be as sexy as the original film.

“This is different. Magpapakita kami ng konting skin. This is another step na naman. Kung baga inuunti unti na namin ‘yung paggawa ng more mature roles. We’re kids anymore na rin. We’re still teenagers but we’re going into the transition of becoming adults na. May ilang ‘sensitive scenes’ dito kaya ‘yun ang pinaghahandaan namin,” said Melissa.

Under the direction of Manny Palo, the story will revolve around three young sisters (Melissa, Empress and Lauren) who grew up in the province, about to face a whole new world. Melissa will portray the role of Celina, the most confident among the three siblings. Empress breathes life to the character of Cecilia, the toughest of the three and Lauren plays the role of Corazon, the frail man-hater. As they bump with new people, their real journey begins.

Your Song Presents Underage will be the initial offering of ABS-CBN’s Your Song Presents which will feature the adaptations of some well-loved Pinoy teen flicks from the 80′s.

Underage was released by Regal Films in 1980 and was considered to be the launch pad of Dina Bonnevie, Snooky Serna, and Maricel Soriano as young-adult actresses. This was originally directed by Joey Gosiengfiao with story and screenplay by Toto Belano.

Don’t miss Your Song Presents Underage as it premieres on March 1 on ABS-CBN after ASAP’09.
