Thanks to the very amiable Nina (I super, super owe you!) and of course to Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, we were able to play this very special video message for the participants of the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3. Needless to say, Mindanaoan is absolutely proud of the trust and confidence that Senator Kiko has extended to me. Daghang salamat! 
To Nina — Mindanaoan super appreciates this! I know it was difficult to pull this off especially since Senator Kiko was scheduled to arrive from his ASEAN trip HOURS before the start of the summit (he arrived last Friday and the summit was last Saturday) but you still managed to produce this! Daghang salamat!
And to all of the participants of the MBS CDO, enjoy

The Kapamilya Karavan 2009 in Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao was a major success! The fun event, which was made possible by ABS CBN and SM City CDO, was held last August 28, 2009 (the very day CDO celebrated the Kagay-An Festival 2009!) at the Gran Via Lot, Pueblo de Oro. Virtually thousands and thousands of people came to watch the free show, which was the organizers’ way of thanking the public for their continuous support.
Mindanaoan was there because I was tapped to book two local bands (thank you, ABS CBN Manila!) Mindanaoan was also one of the official event photographers [the other one that I got was my brother Bon hehe...but of course, right? ] Check out some of the photos that I took during the Kapamilya Karavan event in Cagayan de Oro below.
Apart from the M.O.R. deejays and MAG TV Ato Ni hosts, Kapamilya celebrities also came — John Lloyd Cruz, Maricar Reyes and Nikki Valdes. Enchong Dee was also supposed to come but the poor guy caught dengue so only a live phone patch was arranged that night. Enchong greeted the thousands of people while confined at St. Luke’s Hospital. Hopefully, he’s doing better now.
Dennis Padilla served as a guest host that night and Manila band Rivermaya also came. Unfortunately, it rained so heavily just when the celebrities were about to appear on stage so the show was cut short. Moreover, Rivermaya fans also got disappointed because their favorite band ended up not performing at all. The drum set and other sound equipment were too wet and the tech guys didn’t want to take a risk, lest that the electrical stuff get grounded.
Still, the night was successful and I warmly congratulate the ABS CBN Cagayan de Oro, ABS CBN Manila and SM City CDO staff for a job well done.
Cheers and I look forward to working with you again very soon!

In true Rico Blanco form! Rico, a former Rivermaya vocalist, is known for his advocacies and selfless deeds. He’s an active campaigner of a lot of causes – especially those that aim to champion the Filipino spirit.
This time around, this very talented Filipino musician is helping raise additional funds for fellow Pinoys affected by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng by coming up with the new song entitled “Bangon” – completely FREE. In exchange for a free download of Bangon, Rico’s hoping that people will donate.
Trust me, the song is amazing, beautiful work that only a Rico Blanco can produce!
The very first time I heard it, I got goosebumps all over! It’s a truly inspiring song and you cannot help but feel the spirit of volunteerism, faith and hope!
While future announcements will be made in Rico’s official website, you may now send in your donations via text. Just key in “BANGON” and send to 5677. Rico Blanco is waiving all royalties, the amount of which will go to our countrymen affected by the typhoons.
Kudos to Rico Blanco and his friends who also volunteered their services — drummer Robert Dela Cruz, bassist Berns Cuevas, Blue Light studios, Angee Rozul, Tracks studios.
Meanwhile, here are the lyrics to the new Rico Blanco song “Bangon.” An unofficial video can also be found below.
Just a quick note — one of my fondest memories of Rico Blanco and his strong belief in causes that affect many was when he agreed to send in a video greeting the people of Bukidnon during one of the World AIDS Day events I organized not too long ago. Despite his super hectic schedule at that time, he managed to come up with the video and send it to me via email…and even helped me promote the event! Suffice it to say, his video surprised (and definitely made a lot of people so happy!) the audience. I will always be grateful for what he did for me
Thank you Rico!
To you Rico Blanco — thank you for sharing your gift. Padayon! (continue!)
LYRICS OF BANGON – Rico Blanco’s newest song that you can download for free! (please don’t forget to send donations in exchange for a copy of this song or text BANGON and send to 5677)
pinaluhod tayo,
sa isang hagupit
niragasa, sinalanta,
pinaluha
humupa ang unos, isang bahaghari!
dala ng bukang liwayway-
pag-ibig
pagkakaisa
BANGON
pilipinas kong mahal
akay ang pananampalataya sa may kapal
AHON
buhay sa yong dugo
ang tibay na tatak ng tunay na Pilipino
at nagising ang bayanihan
milyon milyon naging isa
walang kami
walang kayo
walang sila
tanging ligaya
ay pag alay ng sarili sa iba
BANGON
pilipinas kong mahal
akay ng pananampalataya sa may kapal
AHON
taglay ng yong dugo
ang tibay na tatak ng tunay na Pilipino
bridge:
hindi ka namin iiwan
hindi tayo susuko!
lulusong tayo’t magtatagumpay
magtatagumpay!
BANGON
pilipinas kong mahal
akay ang pananampalataya sa may kapal
AHON
buhay sa yong dugo
ang tibay na tatak ng tunay na Pilipino
coda:
lahat nitong mga pagsubok
ay ating kayang lagpasan
lahat nitong mga pagsubok
ay ating kayang lagpasan
