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

the game is on

Survey says that Liberal Party bet for President in the Republic of the Philippines Benigno "noynoy" Aquino jr. leads over his closes contender Manny Villar. A statistic base on SWS latest survey, Forty Days before may 10.

The Game for staying in Malacanang is really on. You can really tell from its different T.V advertisement... from ''Villar's tunay na mahirap'' to ''sulong gibo'' then to ''noynoy's kung walang corruption, walang mag hihirap'' . And from every corners of the streets, there faces are everywhere. Six people are running for the highest office of our country and if luckily will win it will take six years for him to prove that he deserves to be called our 15th PRESIDENT.People are arguing on whose to vote. or what team are you in; team green for greener Philippines, team yellow for "dilaw para sa pag babago" or team orange for Villar.

The issue here is weather who is the right person to vote. People says VOTE FOR VILLAR for he is the real Person to vote. He is well experienced compared to all other candidates. some says also VOTE for GIBO because his skills were proven under his term as secretary of national defense and VOTE FOR NOY, for he is not corrupt. So which is which? who deserve our vote for the betterment of our nation?

But being a president doesn't stop from being diligent or having a background of a great education or skills. I believe in this thing. " di bali nang hindi magaling basta hindi lang palpak' I got this from halalan 2010 of ANC. and I think this statement says it all.

All candidates wants room for change for our nation...from ''Villar's tunay na mahirap'' to ''sulong gibo'' then to ''noynoy's kung walang corruption, walang mag hihirap'' I believe if u are running for a higher office u want for a betterment of Philippines.. and besides changes for the betterment of our nation is not only the job of our President to be...its for the cabinet secretaries as well... for the senators and representative and even for barangay captain.

Lets play the game until it ends on May 10. And I encourage my fellow youth to be active this election. The 2010 election is crucial for WE break the tradition. Its the first time that we will be using the computerized election in the history of the Philippines. The 2010 election will be administered by the Commission on Elections in compliance with the Republic Act No. 9369, also known as Amended Computerization Act of 2007. It will be the first national computerized election in the history of the Philippines.

There will be one question... WHO WILL WIN and who will holds this SEAL ABOVE.
