Don’t it make you feel proud being a Filipino whenever you hear Bagong Simula, the theme song of ABS-CBN Foundation Inc.’s BayaniJuan advocacy program? I chanced upon the music video the other day for the first time and I can’t help but feel bothered with the graphic depiction of poverty in our country. My eyes opened a floodgate of tears seeing a kid sleeping on the sidewalk, old newspaper serves what it seemed like a mattress to cover the cold concrete. As the music video continues and our flag is proudly brandished, it sparked a flame in my heart that still, there is hope for our ailing nation. I believe as long as there are people out there willing to help, we can climb out of poverty and corruption, but we need to start within ourselves first.

Bagong Simula was launched last Sunday in ASAP (ABS CBN, Channel 2). It features Kevin Roy (Razorback), Marc Abaya (Kjwan), Yael Yuzon (Spongecola), Kitchie Nadal and Yeng Constantino as well as Pinoy bands Placid and Tugma.

Bagong Simula Lyrics

[Kevin Roy]
Parang isang gabing walang katapusan
Sa bawat mesa, asin lagi ang ulam
umaalog sa alkansya pisong pinagpawisan
Batang nakahubad kumot ang lansangan

[Yael Yuzon]
lupaing kinalbo minsa’y nadidilig
Ng dugo sa away ng kapatid sa kapatid

[Mark Abaya]
Sa kalagayang ito tayo ay nakagapos
Parang awa sana ay dito magtapos

(CHORUS)
Todo na to!

Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

[Kitchie NAdal]
wag lang maulit kapalarang kay pait
wag magpabaya wag kang manahimik
wag kang manlalamang, wag kang manggigipit
wag magkanya-kanya, magkaisang bisig

[Yeng Constantino]
Pag malasakit ito’y kabayanihan
gawin mo ano mang makayanan
kalagayan ng baya’y sumasama lamang
kung walang gagawin tayong mamamayan

(Chorus)
Todo na to!

Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

[Placid]
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan

[Tugma]

[Narration]
Ipakita natin sa ating mga magulang
mga kapatid kaya natin to
isang subok pa, sabay sabay na
walang kokontra, todo na to

(CHORUS)
Todo na to!
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan
Bagong simula ng ating bayan
