Call To All Nations



Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo Mascariñas

1
Millions of people,
Counting our children,
Are dying everywhere.
Millions of others,
Brothers and sisters,
Their lives like living hell.
Life doesn’t have to be this way
We’ve come a long, long way, we say.
There are so many other ways
Why can’t we start the change today?

Refrain:
And so I make this call to all nations -
Children of the world, folks of all colours.
From east to west, to north and south,
From me to you and you to all.
Here’s my call to all humanity -
Let us rid of poverty,
Try to set all people free
And afford them dignity -
The life deserving you and me.

2
Where is our future
And where is the concord
Our hearts our longing for?
Where is the solace
And where is the peace
We all try to achieve?
Life doesn’t have to be this way
We’ve come a long, long way, we say
There are so many other ways
Why can't we start the change today?

Bridge:
Build a bridge of harmony
Friendship, peace and unity;
Make a room for one another
In your mind and heart and soul.

(Repeat Refrain except last line)

Coda:
The life deserving you and me.

Tribute To The Maria Clara Boyz

THEME: BIG BANG!

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

FOUR SCORE AND MANY YEARS AGO...


FAMILES, FRIENDS AND DOGS (FFD)


PUPPIES - SEIPPUPS

FOUR SCORE AND MANY YEARS AGO...

... Grandpas and Papas were once "binatilyos" (young guns) whose world was uniquely their own. Then a bunch of happy and carefree spirited young individuals who once roamed and ruled the streets of Maria Clara and beyond - a kingdom not their own but a playground where knights and dukes once trolled in search of the King's princess and bahalinas!

FOR SCORE AND MANY YEARS AGO...

We're back where we left off... as time stood still.

Families, friends - puppies and dogs included - have taken off in perpetuity. Now, we're not alone anymore - we never were - but bloodlines interchanged and crossed directions along the way. We've got families - wife and kids, and grands for some - proudly we say. Ours are simply stories to tell - or reminisce at most - music and foods to share, photos of both old and new. Time might have stood still... but it did pass away. The journey that was once ours... are now our children's to continue or talk about.

Musikang Bol-anon Most Viewed Videos

The following are my most viewed videos on YouTube




There's always a sense of accomplishment accompanying some of the things that we do in life, whether one realizes or not, especially when people give you some sort of a pat in the back or a nod at what you do - a little affirmation here and there - that bring colors to dull moments that we seem to face everyday. Again, whether we like it or not.

Friends - in fact, people in general - visiting and enjoying some of the things you enjoy doing almost on a daily basis - in my case, putting together photos and videos, editing and uploading small feature films using the most common and less complicated programs that usually came with one's PC - is one heck of an entertainment itself - and joy as well - that bring a sense of purpose in your otherwise less meaningful activity, knowing that someone, somewhere around the world, has been affected, visually or artistically, by the thing that you do.

To be continued... (".)
