Merry Christmas, 2006


I refuse to go into the usual meaningless babble being passed around in cards and text messages, since I believe the value of Christmas has been degraded by our greed and fixation on material things. For my Christmas message, I look to a suitable source: Bukas Palad's CD "Pasko Na!"


Ako'y nagtataka sa Paskong kay lamig
Doon pa nadama init ng pag-ibig
Sa sanggol at ina puso'y huwag isara
At sa bawat isa, puso mo'y buksan na

Pasko na, Pasko na
Tayo'y magkaisa
Magsama sa saya ng sanggol at ina!


Ako'y nagagalak sa sabsabang payak
Doon pa nadama dangal ng Haring Anak
Sa sanggol at ina puso'y huwag isara
At sa bawat isa puso mo'y buksan na

Pasko na, Pasko na
Tayo'y magkaisa
Magsama sa saya ng sanggol at ina!

- Bukas Palad, "Pasko Na!" (1987/1999)


I greet all those who read this blog a Merry Christmas.
