True Value of a Filipino: The Madrigal Siblings

the madrigal siblings

Ako ay isang Pilipino! I am a Filipino! That was I felt during the performance of The Madrigal Siblings during the Grand Finals of Pilipinas Got Talent season two( a franchise of got Talent). Great performance from a Filipino! I was astonished on how they sang and interpreted the song Bayan Ko ( "My country") and Magkaisa ( lets Unite) . They sang it with dignity and pride! The combine powerful voices of The Madrigal siblings are truly world class!

They should have won the competition or even be part of the top three finalists but unfortunately they got 3.68 Percentage of the total vote making them to the ninth place. :( The people decided and voted for Marcelito Pompoy's rendetion of "The prayer" ( a guy who have a feminine/woman voice)

But Nevertheless, The madrigal Siblings make me proud that I am a Filipino in thoughts, in words and in deeds! The madrigal siblings ay isang huwaran at ipindama nila sa atin na tayo ay isang tunay na PILIPINO sa isip, salita at sa gawa!

Here is their Grand final Piece at Pilipinas Got Talent:

ang bayan ko

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag


At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak

sa dusa


CHORUS
Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag
Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya

Pugad ng luha at dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya

Magakaisa

Ngayon ganap ang hirap sa mundo
Unawa ang kailangan ng tao
Ang pagmamahal sa kapwa'y ilaan
Isa lang ang ugat na ating pinagmulan
Tayong lahat ay magkakalahi
Sa unos at agos ay huwag padadala
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/v/virna_lisa/magkaisa.html ]
Chorus
Panahon na (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
Ng pagkakaisa (bagong umaga, bagong araw)
Kahit ito (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal)
Ay hirap at dusa
Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
At magsama (bagong umaga, bagong araw)
Kapit-kamay (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal)
Sa bagong pag-asa

Ngayon may pag-asang natatanaw
May bagong araw, bagong umaga
Pagmamahal ng Diyos, isipin mo tuwina

(Repeat Chorus)
Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
At magsama (bagong umaga, bagong araw)
Kapit-kamay (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal)
Sa bagong pag-asa
