Please Help Out PHL (and Even Australia, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia & Brazil)!
I am listening now to Star ng Pasko. Why you may ask of all songs Star ng Pasko?
I decided to celebrate Christmas Dec 25 onwards that is till Feb 2. My mother's folk back at Tanjay City and in parts of Negros and even in parts of the country celebrate Christmas till Feb 2. Even cities and towns in Mexico and worldwide celebrate Christmas till Feb 2. And did I forgot to say this? The Armenian Apostolic Church--a kind of Orthodox Christian Church in Armenia--will have their Christmas Day this January 19! You may even take the option of celebrating Christmas by September this year (with the rest of PHL) or as early as July (like people in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia & even Antarctica do) or August (like those in the States, especially at Yellowstone).
Also, I like the song even more than this year's ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID. Keyword:heartfelt.
Seriously speaking, this song is composed after Typhoon Ondoy, Pepeng and other storms hit PHL in the last few months of 2009 (smack into starting the Christmas season in PHL). And what a way to listen to this song than today. Besides being the feast of the Christ Child (Sto Nino in Manila, Aklan, Cebu, CDOC, nationwide), this song is so significant until now.
What a way to celebrate Christmas and welcome New Year 2011! It was the 1st time for me to celebrate the Christmas season under the rain! Sadly it is the 1st time there was such nationwide devastation due to torrential rains-the first in a Christmas season!
Calabarzon region was hard hit with such torrential rains. Reports of drowned people came from Bicol Region, Central Visayas, Southern Mindanao, Northern Mindanao and ARMM. There was one electrocuted and dozens of families displaced in Western Visayas. Parts of Western Mindanao were still submerged. A considerable number of people were killed in Eastern Visayas because of landslides. Missing people were reported as cities and capital towns of Caraga flooded days into the New Year. And I hope you were not under the rock when you got news of scores of children and even grownups in Baguio City and the rest of Cordillera rushed to hospitals due to severe chills. [Even in those places farmers lamented of frost destroying all their valuable crops and even flowers timely for St. Valentine's Day.]
And PHL is not the only one. Australia, Sri Lanka, Brazil and even Saudi Arabia had their share of Ondoy-like tragedies. Already 600 people were killed in the floods in Brazil. Sri Lanka Australia, especially the state of Queensland and the city of Brisbane, has just begun the painful part of starting over. And would you believe a Arabian desert city like Jeddah just got flooded over the weekend?
Do you remember this song? "WELL, TONIGHT, THANK GOD IT'S THEM INSTEAD OF YOU..." Now that's ironic-sadly ironic...
I agree with Ariel Rivera singing, "Sana araw-araw ay Pasko..." A challenge is being offered to us--that we may bring the Christmas spirit not only on Dec 25 but every day of the year. You may not agree with me on how Christmas is to be celebrated but you may agree with me that we bring Christmas joy and don that Christmas spirit every single day of the year. That means "for life"! It's high time we must act now. Kaya po natin bumangon mula sa trahedya ng Ondoy at Pepeng. Kaya pa rin natin ngayon!
