As usual, giving in to requests for the lyrics of LAKAS-KAMPI-CMD's standard bearer, presidentiable Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro's latest TV commercial/informercial/jingle/campaign song "Lipad" written and performed by the band Rivermaya.
You know it breaks my heart when you Googlers get to my blog not finding what you're looking for. So here it is, for your viewing and listening pleasure (or disgust -- whichever applies).
**The way I've been exerting effort transcribing lyrics for these campaign jingles, looks like I should just resurrect my long time dead lyrics blog. **

Lipad by: Rivermaya
Harapin ang hamon ng pagasa Harapin ang hamon ng bagong simula ohhhhhhhh....
Kay tagal mo nang gustong lumipad Ngunit pangarap mo'y bihag ng kahirapan Matagal mo nang gustong umangat Handa ka na pero napabayaan Hindi mo kasalanan...
Panahon na, gumising Hawak mo ang susi sa mundo Sumama... Para sa lahat ang byaheng 'to
Harapin ang hamon ng pagasa Harapin ang hamon ng bagong simula Pangarap mo'y kusa na lang matutupad Ngayong handa ka ng lumipad Ngayong handa ka ng lumipad
Lumipad...lumipad...lumipad... Ngayong handa ka ng lumipad
(Ahhhh...Sulong Gibo, sulong Gibo...)
Panahon na,lumaban Hawak mo ang susi sa mundo Manalig Kasama si Gibo Ligtas tayo...
Harapin ang hamon ng pagasa Harapin ang hamon ng bagong simula Pangarap mo'y kusa na lang matutupad Ngayong handa ka ng lumipad Ngayong handa ka ng lumipad
Lumipad...lumipad...lumipad...
Sulong Gibo Lipad tayo!

This song of the same title however, from the movie "Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia" -- "an all-digital, full-length animated film entry to the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival" sang by no less than Ms. Lea Salonga would have been a better choice. :) After all it has all the elements of "galing" and "lipad" and it's both inspirational and meaningful.. Well, just a thought.
Click here if you're looking for lyrics and video of the new "Lipad" commercial performed by Rivermaya.
Surprised that since its Youtube upload yesterday, January 7, 2010, this "Sulong" infomercial/commercial/TVC/campaign ad barely had 500 views. Pretty much shows how "unpopular" he is compared to cousin Noynoy Aquino.
Looks like the coming election is becoming more and more a "battle of the bands" than a "battle of brands". Don't be surprised. The electorate is mainly "young" with over 70% of voters aged below 39. This my friend, is how you connect to the young and hip crowd.
This one's from Rico Blanco's "Posible" song and apparently, Gibo failed to ask permission from Blanco that this original composition of his will be used for Gibo's infomercial. While Gibo's camp insists that there was no violation of intellectual property rights the issue just refuses to die.
As another public service of this blog, I'm publishing the words (narration/lyrics) here and of course, the video.
"Sulong"
Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro's latest infomercial
Gibo:
"Mura at masaganang pagkain para tuluyang mapawi ang gutom..
College graduate sa bawat pamilya...
Libreng gamot para sa mahihirap...
Sulong Gibo Wag uurong
Pakinggan sa yong puso
Ang sigaw na dati'y bulong...
Narrator: Ang mabilis na pag-ahon, posible lang kay Gilbert Teodoro
As we shelve memories of 2009 and resolve to start anew in 2010, forget not "the good times and the bad you've seen and all the others in between..."
Happy New Year everyone! Let us remember each other and look forward to tomorrow with faith in love and in God.
Times of Your Life
by: Paul Anka
Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?
The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)
Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
Here comes the saddest part
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life

Declaration (Words and music: Jon Black)
The Bonus track on Jon Black's newest album, "Goodbye Golden Age".
He wrote this song after having a fire drill at his office job, and, as he stood outside the building, decided that a cubicle wasn't for him. That night, he went home and wrote this song, the next day, he quit his desk job to pursue his love for music.
You've got to be kidding me
This can't be what I'm made for
To wake up and fall in line
Never feel or taste more
So I'm staring at the ocean tide
With this wind surrounding me
Let the restlessness inside
Lead to life abundantly
We're living in a land
where we go through these motions
just like fools, just like slaves
bound up, and shackled in these chains
this is a declaration
We want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give
It's routine that's robbing us
it's routine some live for
'Cause routine is safe and calm
Ah, but we could ride this storm
but we're buried here alive
and we've got ourselves to blame
and we'll never feel the sun
and we'll never feel the rain
We're living in a land
where we go through these motions
just like fools, just like slaves
bound up and shackled in these chains
this is a declaration
We want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give
We want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give
We want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give
We're living in a land
where we go through these motions
just like fools, just like slaves
bound up and shackled in these chains
this is a declaration
This is a declaration
We want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give
We want more then this world can give
We want more then this world can give.

Doing All Right (by: Queen)
Words and music by Brian May and Tim Staffell
"Doing All Right" was written by Brian May and Tim Staffell while in the pre-Queen band, Smile. The song changes many times throughout, from light pop music to acoustic guitars and even contains a section that could only be referred to as heavy metal. This is one of the few Queen songs to feature Brian May on the piano. (source: Wikipedia)
Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today I know what I'm doing
Got a feeling I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Where will I be this time tomorrow?
Jumped in joy or sinking in sorrow
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Should be waiting for the sun
Looking round to find the words to say
Should be waiting for the skies to clear
There ain't time in all the world
Should be waiting for the sun
And anyway I've got to hide away
Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today God knows what I'm doing
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Many people wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
When I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
The flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
The joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Men themselves have wondered
what they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Now you understand
just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palms of my hands,
the need for my care.
Because I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's my mother and all your mothers
And my grandmothers and your grandmothers
And my great grandmothers and your greats
And my great greats
And yours
And all you women
And Me!
