Inspired by the devastation brought by typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng in the Philippines and their will to stand anew, Band Member and Artist Rico Blanco has composed a new song and shares it to millions of Filipinos for Free.

From Rico Blanco's 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. Please help.

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

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

The wrath brought by Ondoy witnessed by most of the Filipinos in Luzon is yet to be declared through. We still need to face the aftermath of the enormous downpour last September 26, 2009 and seek aid for those tens of thousands who were marooned by flashfloods. I have gathered here some [profoundly sad] aftermath pictures from Flickr and Facebook courtesy of rembcc [http://www.flickr.com/photos/rembcc/].

The disaster brought by Tropical Storm Ketsana or Typhoon "Ondoy" in the Philippines was so depressing. [see some images I grabbed from Atom Araullo and JR Lo's Facebook]  "At least 51 people have died and at least 21 others are missing after torrential rains and subsequent flooding" - CNN [as of today].

One of the many proofs that there is no one exceptional when the fury of Mother Nature hits. For those who do not know, Christine Reyes is a known Filipina actress who has starred the reality TV show Starstruck. She is best known on television shows such as Banana Split, Kahit Isang Saglit and Eva Fonda. In the picture, the actress is stranded in her home and she ended up staying on the roof. It took a while before she was rescued.

GMA News described “Ondoy” [the typhoon] [international code name Ketsana] as an Epic Flood in Metro Manila caused by record rainfall. “The rainfall brought by typhoon "Ondoy" to Metro Manila and nearby areas in a span of six hours on Saturday was the most in recorded history, surpassing the previous record for the metropolis in 1967”.

The incessant downpour brought by tropical storm has turned several parts of Metro Manila into a virtual water world.
