Biyahe Tayo - I’m Proud to be a Filipino!

May 27, 2009

Featuring various 21 Top Filipino Artists!

Five Exciting Recording Days!

ONE Song!

About ONE GREAT COUNTRY!

========================================================================================================

OK! I don’t want to be a spoil sport regarding the Kathrina Halili sex scandal, but guys, can’t we please try to air something which we can be proud of when we say, “I’m a Filipino!”? We certainly don’t want tourists and foreigners to remember the Philippines as a country full of sex scandal videos, awful politics and bad governance, don’t we? I don’t want to sound patriotic but I’m pretty sure there’s more to the Philippines than what we can see on the news. There’s so much more that a Filipino can be proud of!

Take this song for example! BIYAHE TAYO! Now there’s a happy song regarding the beauty of our country! YES, it is a patriotic song but somehow its not a song of oppression or war just like “Lupang Sinilangan” by the ASIN or Freddie Aguilar’s “Ang Bayan Kong Pilipinas”. Sure! EDSA revolution was great history, but we’ve already surpassed those times, so why not try to somehow awaken one’s patriotism in ways that we really do become proud of this 7,107 islands!

“Biyahe Tayo” is a song that features great tourist attractions, excellent native delicacies and amazing Filipino talents! The song was sang and produced by 21 artists (legendary in their own times) namely, Lea Salonga, Sharon Cuneta, Freddie Aguilar, Rey Valera, Rico Puno, Joey Ayala, Apo Hiking Society, Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, Jolina Magdangal, April Boy Regino, Jessa Zaragoza, Paolo Santos, Nina and Rico Blanco of Rivermaya for the vocals. Then we have John Lesaca, Joey Ayala and Jong Cuenco for the instrumentals.

So, below is the lyrics of the song with corresponding artists on each line. You may also watch full video and try to sing along with our truly talented kababayans. I’m sure you will also feel light headed, relaxed and free from everything. When I heard this song, it made we want to pack my bags and just simply jump on a boat so that I could see all those beautiful places they were talking (singing) about!

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
