FAMILY IS FOREVER: THE 2019 ABS-CBN CHRISTMAS STATION ID
What Christmas songs lift spirits in the darkest times?
One of such songs is “Bro, Ikaw Ang Star ng Pasko” which was launched in the aftermath of typhoon Ondoy in 2009. On its 10th anniversary and the 65th year of ABS-CBN, the Kapamilya network brings you a station ID that puts together their past Christmas songs under the banner “Family is Forever”. Through the years, these songs have been embraced and sung all over the world like “Thank You for the Love”, “Just Love Ngayong Pasko” and “Family is Love.” This year’s Christmas Station ID is a special homage to these timeless songs. The new anthem is a medley of past songs performed by The Voice Kids finalists and coaches Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo and Lea Salonga. Another first, it also features recordings of real Kapamilyas from different sectors singing live.
Family is Forever
Forever may seem like an impossible idea but for ABS-CBN, it can also be a continuing journey filled with love and meaning if spent with the most important people in our lives - our families. That is why this year’s Christmas Station ID is a special reunion of various Kapamilyas that have touched the lives of people. Together with hundreds of artists and employees, ABS-CBN pays tribute to --- the Noblezeda “Keribels” family from Iloilo who always has a happy disposition amidst life’s obstacles; Marielle Hernali, a Typhoon Yolanda survivor from Tacloban who graduated as valedictorian in her class; Arnel Aba, a one-legged swimmer who won a gold medal in the ASEAN ParaGames; Jan Aure Gascon, the student from Abra with a simple dream of owning a pencil; El Gamma Penumbra, the shadow dancing group from Batangas who won the top prize in Asia’s Got Talent; and the Garcia brothers from Pangasinan whose love for their country as soldiers is as strong as their love for their family.
As one family, the ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID 2019 was created by ABS-CBN Creative Communications Management Division headed by Robert Labayen, Johnny De Los Santos and Patrick de Leon, and COO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes. Directed by Paolo Ramos with second unit directors Lorenz Roi Morales and Peewee Azarcon Gonzales
Lyrics written by Robert Labayen and Lloyd Oliver Corpuz and brought to life by composers Thyro Alfaro and Lloyd Oliver Corpuz.
