PAL is official Papal carrier

Philippine Airlines, official carrier of Pope Francis during his pastoral visit next year to the Philippines, will draw from experience in rolling out the red carpet for the task of flying the Roman Pontiff to Tacloban to visit typhoon victims and to Port Moresby for the Canonization of Blessed Peter ToRot at the end of his four-day papal visit.

PAL will fly the Pope to Tacloban in the morning of January 17, 2015 for whole-day activities highlighted by lunch with typhoon Yolanda victims.

PAL is the only Philippine carrier with VIP flight handling experience for the Pope’s non-stop flight from Manila to Rome at the end of the fourth Papal visit to the country.

On two occasions in the past, PAL was entrusted with flying now Saint John Paul II during his 1981 and 1995 pastoral visits.

In 1981, PAL spread out the best when the Pope flew to six provincial stations within three days. A special Papal chamber was fitted on the DC-10 aircraft that flew him to Guam and Haneda after his visit.

In 1995, PAL again flew St. John Paul II to Port Moresby after a four-day visit that was restricted to Manila for health reasons.

PAL kept a collection of memorabilia of inflight items used by St. John Paul II on his PAL flights.

In 1970, Pope Paul VI became the first Vicar of Christ to set foot on Philippine soil.

Papal choir to render new hymns during Pope’s Luneta mass

A 1,000-member Papal choir from different parishes and choir groups across the country
will render never-before-heard Church hymns especially created for a Holy Mass to be presided by Pope Francis at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila on January 18, 2015.
Forming part of the Papal Choir is the multi-awarded Bukas Palad Music Ministry, a contemporary musical group whose songs have played a significant part in the local Church and the liturgy.
Since its inception in 1986, the group has recorded 19 albums with the Jesuit Music Ministry of the Jesuit Communications Foundation, a ministry of the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus (SJ) based at the Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City.
Many of the most popular and well-loved praise songs in the country were first sung and recorded by the group such as “Hindi Kita Malilimutan,” “Tanging Yaman,” “Sa’Yo Lamang,” “Anima Christi,” and “I Will Sing Forever.”
ONE WITH THE CONGREGATION
According to Bukas Palad founding member Norman Agatep, who works as managing director and chief creative officer of Havas Worldwide Manila, the choir members do not really see their participation in the Papal mass as a performance.
“We are part of the 1,000-voice choir that will contribute to the celebration  of the Holy Eucharist. We shall be engaging the congregation through song during the mass,” he said.
Last Saturday, November 29, twenty-five Bukas Palad pioneer members out of an estimated 170 members, had their first general rehearsal with all the other members of the Papal Choir.
“We have just  received the scores of all the songs and have been practicing on our own,” he added.
Agatep shared that all the hymns for the entire mass are new songs composed by his Bukas-Palad co-founder Fr. Manuel ‘Manoling’ Francisco, S.J.
ALL ORIGINAL SONGS
All the songs for the much-anticipated papal mass were written by Fr. Manoling except for two – Jamie Rivera’s “We Are All God’s Children” (the official theme song for the papal visit) which will be sung after the Holy Communion and Trina Bellamide’s “Tell the World of His
Love” (the official theme song for the papal visit of Pope John Paul II in 1995) which will be the final song.
The Entrance Hymn; Lord Have Mercy; Glory to God; Alleluia; Preparation of Gifts; Holy, Holy; Memorial Acclamation; Great Amen; Our Father; Lamb of God; and a hymn for the Holy Communion are all Fr. Manoling’s original pieces.
A musical genius who composed the iconic “Hindi Kita Malilimutan,” as a first year high school student at the Ateneo, he wrote the songs after being commissioned to do the important task by Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president and Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas last July.

The rising sun shines its rays over a red and royal blue striped ribbon, twirled to form the figure 100. Underneath are the three stars which are also in the Philippine flag. The slogan aptly states the reason for the nationhood--that indeed, freedom is the true wealth of the nation. The gold "Philippine Centennial" is reversed to frame all elements.

GMA Version




Shot wholly in high-definition (HD) digital video technology, the national anthem is slated to roll on the big screens of SM across the country. It will also be a part of GMA’s sign-on and sign-off messages marking the beginning and end of each day’s broadcast. Renowned film and television director Mark Reyes pitched the historical concept to GMA. “This will hopefully show and remind the younger generation what our heroes went through in history for our freedom. Being part of the network that has played a role in the scheme of history, I am edified to push in an artistic way the Filipinos’ passion for this country,” Reyes said. The GMA project team is composed of cinematographer Ding Achacoso (director of photography), Paul Ticzon (director), Vince Gealogo (co-director), Ingrid Navarro (producer) and cameramen Hanniel Aguilar, Javier Delgado and Paul Arrojado. The whole campaign was spearheaded by the creative team of GMA’s Program Support Department composed of Regie Bautista (VP), Dong Tan (associate creative director), Alex Almario (copy specialist), Dennis Tiu (art director), Hasmin Marable (senior project manager), and Minette Lopez (project manager). The 2010 Lupang Hinirang music video won the Bronze World Medal at the 2011 New York Festivals World’s Best TV Programs and Film Awards in the Music Video category and the Bronze Anvil from the 2011 Anvil Awards by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) in the Public Relations Tool category.

In the video, you can see the Kapuso celebrities in the video.
  • August 22, 2010-April 9, 2013 (launched at 12 Noon during Party Pilipinas, aired last August 22, 2010) This new theatrical version retells Philippine history through a succession of carefully-crafted and awe-inspiring reenactments of historical events from Lapu-Lapu’s victory over Magellan’s troops in the Battle of Mactan to the Filipinos’ peaceful revolt in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA. The new version, which was conceived from the strengthened corporate partnership between GMA Network and SM Cinemas, advances the narration of Philippine history from the standard versions released before. According to director Paul Ticzon, the team went through almost 10 months of meticulous research and preparation to shoot the vignettes. The roster of Kapuso stars who played Philippine historical icons include (in alphabetical order): Aljur Abrenica, Marvin Agustin, Victor Aliwalas, Alvin Aragon, Bea Binene, Iza Calzado, Bodie Cruz, Dingdong Dantes, Gabby and Geoff Eigenmann, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Carlo Gonzalez, Carl Guevarra, Richard Gutierrez, Dion Ignacio, Paolo Paraiso, Enzo Pineda, Rhian Ramos, Marian Rivera, Arthur Solinap, Mike Tan, JC Tiuseco, Dennis Trillo and TJ Trinidad. They are joined by Ogie Alcasid, Heart Evangelista, Eddie Garcia, Jaya Ramsey, Zoren Legaspi, German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, Regine Velasquez, Carmina Villaroel, Jillian Ward; plus News and Public Affairs’ pillars composed of Arnold Clavio, Mike Enriquez, Vicky Morales, Howie Severino, Jessica Soho, and Mel Tiangco. 
  • April 9, 2013-present (launched right after 24 Oras, aired last April 9, 2013) The 2013 version pays tribute to the heroes of today by drawing inspiration from the heroes of yesteryear's. It opens with an artist sketching a portrait of Lapu-Lapu, which seamlessly transforms into a colorful animation of the events that shaped Philippine history from the Battle of Mactan, which saw the defeat of the Spanish conquistadors in the hands of the natives, to the Cry of Pugad Lawin and the one portrayed by a firefighter who braves the raging flames of a burning building in order to save an infant. The opening transcript voiced by GMA Network President Jimmy Duavit: "Ang tugong gumuhit ng ating kasaysayan ng ating pagkatao ng ating lahi ay ang tugo ng kabayanihan. Mula sa mga bakas na iniwan ng ating mga ninuno, ating ipinagpapatuloy ang kanilang nasimulan sa mga paraan hinihingi ng anumang panahon. Taglay ang ipinamanang kagitingan at inspirasyon, dahil ang apoy nasumiklab ilang siglo na ang nakalilipas ay nabubuhay pa rin sa atin. Magpa-hanggang ngayon. Mga kababayan, ang Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas." The main music of the national anthem begins as the heroes of the past are juxtaposed with modern heroes like a teacher who walks several miles to school daily to educate her pupils, a farmer who dutifully toils the land under the scorching heat of the sun to fend for his family, a traffic enforcer who continues to do his job despite being soaked in heavy rains, a doctor who compassionately attends to the medical needs of those in the barrios, overseas workers who endure being away from their loved ones in the hope of giving them a better future, an athlete who brings pride to his country, and the martyrdom of our national hero, Jose Rizal. at the end, GMA Network Center Facade and SM Mall of Asia Facade at the end of GMA National Anthem 2013. While at the end is the Kapuso Tune and the GMA Network Logo.
hope to see that soon.
