Bangon Pilipinas

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Rico Blanco never fails to share his love to his fellow Filipinos through his music. Your a Genius man! Mabuhay ka RB.

From his site..

Countless Filipinos have heroically gone out of their way to help our brothers and sisters in this time of need. This is just my humble contribution as a singer and musician. I hope, in my own little way, I can help raise additional funds for our countrymen affected by the typhoons, and perhaps give a little boost to their morale to help them get back on their feet again.

I am offering a completely new song, 'Bangon' as a free download. Hopefully it will also raise some badly needed funds through your donations. Warner Music Philippines is currently helping me set up a bank account to accomodate your cash donations as well as a Paypal account for those of you who wish to help from overseas. These should be up very very soon so please stay tuned for announcements on http://www.ricoblanco.com.ph.

For those who wish to donate now, you can text Bangon to 5677. I am waiving all royalties, the amount of which will go to our countrymen affected by the typhoons.

Please feel free to download the track, use it, and share with your friends to spread the message of hope to everyone.

Thank you for your kindness. God bless. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

RB

Bangon Video and Lyrics

LYRICS

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 Maykapal
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 Maykapal
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 Maykapal
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

Carnivorous Plant found in Palawan, Philippines

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Giant meat eating plant (Nepenthes attenboroughii). Palawan, Philippines

A new species of giant carnivorous plant has been discovered in the highlands of the central Philippines.

The plant is the largest of all pitchers and is so big that it can catch rats as well as insects in its leafy trap. The nectar is spiked with narcotic, so that the visitor soon feel giddy, loses it balance or footing and plunges into a vat of watery digestive juices where it drowns.

The botanists have named the pitcher plant after British natural history broadcaster David Attenborough.

The plant is among the largest of all carnivorous plant species and produces spectacular traps - Co-discoverer Stewart McPherson

Visit BBC News for the complete details on the discovery.
