    Only in the Philippines that you would find videos like these on the tube.

    It's to promote one of the giant TV stations branding for their foundations, to help the people. Shamefully, it is a for-profit organisation and it does only use actors, actresses and other stars to promote it, but not do any real change in the poorest communities, except for publicity stunts. Showbiz is such a staple in the country (Thank You America!), people have elected actors and actresses to high positions of power, even the presidency. It does evoke a strong message of nationalism and empowerment (at least of me), and does get to people. The cause is right, the method is wrong. I don't speak Filipino well, I can only understand it, so no translation for now. It is catchy (at least for me..)

    Just my 2 cents.
