ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID 2012

Fragments from the video description:
This video highlights how the Filipino spirit always shines through despite calamities that ravage our country. It shows how each one of us become bearers of light, as we help our countrymen get back on their feet... how we remain resilient because kindness never runs out, because help always comes.

Many scenes are inspired by real events. Some of these stories happened at the height of the habagat - A fireman saved the lives of those stranded in their own homes; a chef opened the doors of his restaurant to feed victims; a young woman offered her own jacket to a street child who was suffering under the cold rain; Philippine coast guards went out of their way to save lives; Volunteers and civilians selflessly offered their time and energy to relief work.

ABS-CBN 2012 Summer Station ID "Pinoy Summer, Da Best Forever"

The ABS CBN Summer 2012 Station ID
Pinoy Summer Da Best Forever

Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson literally play good music together as the two sing this year's theme song for the much-awaited summer station ID of ABS-CBN with the theme "Pinoy Summer, Da Best Forever".

Sarah and Gerald, together with the biggest and brightest Kapamilya personalities, will show the true colors behind Pinoy summer and share the amazing reasons why it is the ultimate summer destination for tourists and fellow kababayan.

"This year's summer station ID paints a picture of how Filipinos are proud of their heritage and values as reflected in our very own festivals. Bayanihan, camaraderie, unity, respect, and love for one's self are the prime Filipino values highlighted. Color and joy spread like summer heat, awakening the festivities and making celebrations more alive," 

It will show a rainbow brightening in the sky as a group of festival dancers offers a free ride to Angelica Panganiban, Zanjoe Marudo, John Prats, and Melai Cantiveros, Pooh, and Jason Gainza. 

It's Showtime in Guimaras as Anne Curtis, Vice Ganda, Vhong Navarro, Karylle, Billy Crawford, Kuya Kim, Ryan Bang, Colleen, Jugs, and Teddy feast on golden yellow mangoes during a Mangga Eating Contest. 

Summer festival parades become beautiful blankets of flowers as AiAi delas Alas leads the festival crowd in her floral float.

Angel Locsin epitomizes the magnetizing Filipina smile as she makes even the killjoys join the festivities.

Cliff diving has never looked more tempting as the ultimate heartthrob, Piolo Pascual, jumps off the glazing rocks to retrieve a friend's valuable which was accidentally dropped off in the clear blue sea.

Bea Alonzo and plus-sized majorettes redefine sexy as they lead the band with confidence. 

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN News anchors Noli de Castro, Korina Sanchez, Ted Failon and Regional News anchors help in the traditional procession. 

The theme song was written by Christine Daria-Estabillo with music created by Marcus and Amber Davis. Anderson

"Da Best Ang Pasko Ng Pilipino"

The song Da Best Ang Pasko ng Pilipino was written by Robert Labayen, with music composed and produced by Jimmy Antiporda for Star Records. It was performed by 11-year old Filipino-Canadian You Tube sensation Maria Aragon, together with the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus, and joined by more than a hundred Kapamilya stars from ABS-CBN Entertainment, News and Current Affairs ad Regional Network Group TV personalities, ANC and DZMM anchors; and Tambayan 101.9 DJs and kapamilya from The Filipino Community worldwide.

The season for invitations arriving at your doorstep has come. Christmas parties, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, charity balls, you name it, it is almost as if people get caught up in the revelry of the holiday season by throwing parties—and who doesn’t enjoy a good gathering of friends, right?

But the most common complaint of hosts is that they never know how many people to prepare for. Why? Because people just show up or do not show up, based on their whim. Modern manners or not, it has been an age-old tradition all over the world to simply acknowledge the invitation with a response.

Just look at it this way. If someone has taken the time to invite you, take the time to respond. Whether it is a simple dinner at home or a grand occasion such as a wedding, every invite deserves a response.

All formal invitations come with a phone number which will only take two minutes of your time to call. Even in this day and age, where text invites are the norm, particularly for smaller affairs, a simple thanks for the invite—“I will be there” or “unfortunately I cannot attend”—is all you need to acknowledge the invitation.

“Filipinos never RSVP”—you hear this a lot. It is so true that it has already become part of our culture. But on the flipside, it does not mean it is correct or polite behavior.

So be a part of our changing culture and please take two minutes of your time to simply say yes or no to someone who has thought of you and would value your presence in their affair. It is not only the nice thing to do, it is also the proper and polite thing to do.

Just a simple reminder of an age-old tradition to help us enjoy this party season.

KATALINUHAN NG KABABAIHAN


LABING-ISANG tao ang nakasabit sa lubid na nakalawit sa isang helicopter – sampu (10) dito ay mga lalake, isa ay babae.


Nagkaisa sila na kailangan isa sa kanila ay magsakripisyo , at kung hindi ay mapapatid ang lubid at lahat sila ay mamamatay.


Halos walang gustong mag-sakripisyo, nang biglang magsalita ang babae ng isang makabagbag-damdamin na, “Ako na lamang ang magsakripisyo para sa ikalilligtas ng lahat, dahil sanay naman kaming mga babae na i-sakripisyo ang mga bagay para sa aming mga anak, asawa nang walang hinihintay na kapalit.”


Nang matapos siyang magsalita, NAGPALAKPAKAN ANG MGA LALAKE! araykupo, patay kang bata ka!

ISANG babae at isang lalake ang nasangkot sa isang matinding aksidente. Ang mga sasakyan nila ay talagang nawasak, pero ang himala, hindi man sila grabeng nasaktan. Nagtamo lang ng kaunting gasgas ang dalawa. Nang nakagapang na palabas sa kanyang sasakyan, nagsalita ang babae, “Naku, tingnan mo ang nangyari sa ating mga sasakyan, halos hindi na makilala. Buti na lang at himalang nakaligtas tayo. Ito yata ay sign mula sa itaas na magkakilala tayo sa ganitong paraan, maging mag-kaibigan at malay mo maging tayo.”


Medyo na-flattered ang lalake, “Oo nga, sang-ayon ako sa sinabi mo na sign nga ito sa itaas, at tingnan mo, ito pa ang isang himala. Nawasak ang sasakyan natin pareho pero ang bote ng alak na ito ay hindi man lang nabasag!” “Sigurado ako ito ay para i-celebrate ang ating magandang kapalaran”, dagdag pa ng babae at sabay abot ng bote ng alak sa lalake. Binuksan ang bote at tinungga ang kalahating laman nito at ibinalik ang bote kay babae. Kinuha ni babae ang bote, isinara at ibinalik ang bote sa lalake. “Hindi ka ba iinom?” tanong ng lalake. “HINDI NA, ANTAYIN NA LANG NATIN ANG MGA PULIS!!!,”, sagot ng babae. Waaahhhh,, wais talaga!!!
