The Dish featuring Wolfgang's Steakhouse ( 21 January 2023 )

Multiply social network accord signed

Finally, the reopening of the social networking portion of Multiply will now proceed, giving hope for relief to thousands of users when it is opened by April 2025.

Multiply Media LLC and Prosus signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the social networking portion of Multiply. The website has been closed for nine years of financial and legal wrangling.

On May 6, 2013, Multiply Philippines officially announced it will permanently shut down.

On May 31, 2013, Multiply ceased its operations and shut down entirely.

The long closure of the website lasted for 9 years, to rehabilitate and resolve the issues surrounding Multiply, including financial problems as well as to recover and retrieve hosted blogs, videos, and photos.

However, when President Rodrigo Duterte came to power on June 30, 2016, the website remains closed.

According to the sources, the website would remain shuttered when the president was still in office until June 30, 2022.

The MOA is the result of discussions made after the passing of the Term Sheet last September 28 which outlined the general principles needed. Extensive discussions among the parties followed.

The Multiply social network went through financial and legal entanglements with the downloading of blogs, videos, and photos.

Upon President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.'s assumption into of­fice, Multiply CEO and owner Stefan Magdalinski got all shareholders to agree on the social networking portion of Multiply, ending an impasse over the nine-year closure of the website.

MGA MAKABAYANG AWITIN (PHILIPPINE PATRIOTIC SONGS)

Ang Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas

(Philippine National Anthem)

Bayang magiliw

Perlas ng Silanganan

Alab ng puso

Sa dibdib mo'y buhay

Lupang hinirang

Duyan ka ng magiting

Sa manlulupig

Di ka pasisiil

Sa dagat at bundok

Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw;

May dilag ang tula

At awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y

Tagumpay na nagniningning,

Ang bituin at araw niya

Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta,

Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;

Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi,

Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo.

Bayan Ko

(My Country)

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas

Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak

Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad

Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag

At sa kanyang yumi at ganda

Dayuhan ay nahalina

Bayan ko, binihag ka

Nasadlak sa dusa

Ibon mang may layang lumipad

Kulungin mo at umiiyak

Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag

Ang di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya

Pugad ng luha ko't dalita

Aking adhika

Makita kang sakdal laya

Pilipinas Kong Mahal

(My Beloved Philippines)

Ang bayan ko'y tanging ikaw

Pilipinas kong mahal

Ang puso ko at buhay man

Sa iyo'y ibibigay

Tungkulin ko'y gagampanan

Na laging kang paglingkuran

Ang laya mo'y babantayan

Pilipinas kong hirang

Ako ay Pilipino

(I am a Filipino)

Ako ay Pilipino

Ang dugo'y maharlika

Likas sa aking puso

Adhikaing kay ganda

Sa Pilipinas na aking bayan

Lantay na Perlas ng Silanganan

Wari'y natipon ang kayamanan

ng Maykapal

Bigay sa 'king talino

Sa mabuti lang laan

Sa aki'y katutubo

Ang maging mapagmahal

Ako ay Pilipino, ako ay Pilipino

Isang bansa, 'sang diwa

ang minimithi ko

Sa bayan ko't bandila

Laan buhay ko't diwa

Ako ay Pilipino

Pilipinong totoo

Ako ay Pilipino, ako ay Pilipino

Taas noo kahit kanino

Ang Pilipino ay ako.

Ako ay Pilipino, ako ay Pilipino

Taas noo kahit kanino

Ang Pilipino ay ako.

Panatang Makabayan

(Pledge of Patriotism)

Original Version

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas

Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan.

Ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi

Ako'y kanyang kinukupkop at tinutulungan,

Upang maging malakas;

Maligaya at kapakipakinabang.

Bilang ganti ay diringgin ko

Ang payo ng aking mga magulang.

Susundin ko ang mga

Tuntunin ng aking paaralan;

Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin ng

Isang mamamayang makabayan

At masunurin sa batas.

Paglilingkuran ko ang aking bayan

Nang walang pag-iimbot

At ng buong katapatan.

Sisikapin kong maging

Isang tunay na Pilipino

Sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa.

Current Version

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas,

Aking lupang sinilangan,

Tahanan ng aking lahi;

Kinukupkop ako at tinutulungang

Maging malakas, masipag at marangal.

Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,

Diringgin ko ang payo

ng aking magulang,

Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,

Tutuparin ko ang tungkulin

Ng mamamayang makabayan:

Naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nagdarasal

Nang buong katapatan.

Iaalay ko ang aking buhay,

pangarap, pagsisikap

sa bansang Pilipinas.

Revised Version

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas,

aking lupang sinilangan,

tahanan ng aking lahi;

kinukupkop ako at tinutulungan

maging malakas, masipag at marangal.

Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,

diringgin ko ang payo

ng aking mga magulang,

Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,

Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin

Ng mamamayang makabayan:

Naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nananalangin

Nang buong katapatan.

Iaalay ko ang aking buhay,

pangarap, pagsisikap

sa bansang Pilipinas.

yes kabisado ko yang lahat.

pero parang iba yang version na yan ng panatang makabayan? it hasn't been that long naman since i graduated from high school. iniba na nila?

yah, iniba nila ng konti.

Ako, kabisadong-kabisado kahit matagal na kong tapos mag-aral. ikaw ba naman kantahin mo araw-araw from elementary to high school di mo pa makabisado, kalokohan naman yun.

Lupang Hinirang, oo. pero yung Panatang Makabayan, hindi na.

How about the Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Bandila / Watawat ng Pilipinas?

Ako ay Pilipino buong katapatang nanunumpa sa watawat ng Pilipinas at sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan... blah blah. hindi ko na maalala. :D

I used to memorize the Preamble too...

We the sovereign Filipino people implore the aid of all Mighty God. blah blah...

hays. memory gap.

Pina-exam sa 'min to dati. Medyo nakakalito sya pag iisipin mo lang yung lyrics kaya kailangan pang kantahin nang mahina. Pero medyo nakakalito pa rin kasi mag-isa ka lang. Hehe

yup. kailangan sa school. taun-taon na lang ata pinaparecite simula pa grade 1.

Kabisado ko, except the Ako ay Pilipino which is not usually memorizes sa mga eskwelahan na nag-attend ko.

Lupang Hinirang - check!

Ako ay Pilipino - hindi!

Panatang Makabayan - check!

Memorized ko yung Lupang Hinirang tsaka yung old version ng Panatang Makabayan. yung new version, hindi ko man lang alam. College na kasi ako nung napalitang yung Panatang Makabayan, eh hindi naman nirerecite yung nung college na ko.

memorized ko kapag may kasabay ako.

Yup! (Naka-perfect ako sa pambansang awit at panatang makabayan) pero hindi ko po kabisado yung Ako ay Pilipino

tuwing Umaga,kinakanta Ang LUPANG HINIRANG...binibigkas Ang PANATANG MAKABAYAN

eks "naalala ko nung kinakanta natin sa foodcourt to, parang nangingilabot ako dahil sa kagandahan niya. kung ang amerika ang ‘land of milk and honey,’ ayun sa Ang Bayan Ko, ang pilipinas daw ang ‘lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak!’ saan ka pa di ba?!

Rico "Maganda nga ang Ang Bayan Ko. Parang pati ako maluluha. Nakaka-tats!"

emben: "kinanta namin yan nung linggo ng wika nung grade school

sheng "My 3 year old daughter knows this by heart na, hehehe, I just want to push in some patriotic effect for the kid, at least she’ll grow to love the Bayang Magiliw…"

maidapaypay "hahahaha! OMG i was just singing this in the shower the other day!"

louraine "we seldom sing it here na sa work though we are in a government agency hehhehe but sure thing when in movie houses last full show, we proudly sing it loudly. mahal kong Pilipinas"

Dorie Linse "Tama ka, Maharlika, dahil simula ng grade 1 ako 1958 hanggang makatapos ng HS pagkatapos ng bayang magiliw ay panatang makabayan ang kasunod at papasok na sa silid aralan na may tugtog ng River Kwai."

Vien Neib Cie "Naabutan ko yan ... batang 90s ako hehe"

Reymond Mago Defeo "Dahil na din sa pag upgrade daw ng curiculom nabawasan yung pagka makabansa. Ako sa sarili ko dala ko pa hanggang ngayon ang turo ng mga guro na pagka makabansa. Pag papahalaga sa bansa bilang pilipino."

Del T. Blanco "My elementary days,mas magalang ang kabataan,mas may takot sa Diyos ,mas takot gumawa ng kalokohan pero mas masaya mababa pa ang mga krimen,kahit kamote at kamoteng kahoy ang tanghalian masaya na😃panahong kaunting bagay na naumit o ninakaw ng kaklase napakalaking kahihiyan na ng pamilya at magulang kung anak nila ang involve"

Feds Santos "👍🏻👊🏻 at yung mag exercise tayo tuwing umaga😁"

Lucy de Ocampo "Karamihan sa ngayun di na nga alam yang panatang makabayan. kami noon pagkatapos kantahin ang lupang hinirang kasunod naman panatang makabayan .. ganun din mga anak ko kung saan sila nag-aaral . ngaun iba na nagkatuon at abala ang ibang nasa gobyerno sa pagnanakaw, pangungurakot ..di nla alam kung ano kahulugan ng mga salita sa panatang makabayan .."

Armando Lalog Jr. "After FEM walang ginawa mga aquino at ibapa kung hindi magnakaw at sisihin si marcos."

Noel Mar "Kasi daw po ang yellow Democracy is a road to success!!!!!! Ay Syett ... road to hell pala to the filipinos .... but a luxurious living for the oligarchs!!!! ..... More Business and free of taxes... and you can spread fake news... get a good looking actor and actress ... promote their deceitful propaganda!!! And the best of them all , you have the holy shit.... Priests, bishops , Cardinals... who mix politics with religions, and sometimes make their homily not based on the Bible but lies and hypocrisy... to defend the oligarchs who probably donates large monetary amount and high valuable gifts.... what the hell to Yellow Democracy.... tinarantado nila ang bayan!!!!!"

Maria Koro "Ibang iba na talaga ngayon hindi nayan binibigkas sa school paano naman pati din Teacher ay adik narin yung iba"

Tita Nepomuceno "I think the panata has been reworded, although hindi ko alam ano yung mga pinalitan. Honestly memorized ko pa sya hanggang ngayon, dahil siguro i have Internalized it, naisa-puso ko na. Hindi na rin araw-araw na nagpa-flag ceremony in most schools, if ever lunes na lang at biernes. Lunes itinataas ang bandila, at biernes ibinababa. Dapat ngang ibalik yan flag ceremony araw-araw at ang recitation ng panatang makabayan. Sa araw araw at paulit ulit na pagre-recite, nai-internalize ng bata eventually nai-inculcate yung patriotism. Ewan ko ba sa DepEd, ang daming inalis sa curriculum, procedures and practices. Then marami ipinasok sa curriculum na hindi kailangan, while yung kailangan, inalis. Yan mga nasa DepEd kasi may mga masters at doctorate so habang nagaaral ang tao, nagiging matalino sa libro, bobo sa practical side of life.

Maharlika "Tita Nepomuceno tama po . Kaya nga dapat ang pinupwesto sa Dep-Ed ay may pagmamahal sa bayan at pahahalagahan ang edukasyon. Kailangan natin hubugin ang kabataan sa unang araw pa lang na pagpasok sa eskwelahan pati mga magulang kailangan i orient o seminar kung paano isapuso at isabuhay ang mga nabanggit sa Panatang Makabayan, Panunumpa sa watawat at sa Lupang Hinirang . Kumbaga i ukit sa kanilang puso at isipan para dala-dala nila hanggang sa paglaki nila at maging responsableng mamayan sila."

Tita Nepomuceno "Yet kung napansin nyo Ms. Maharlika at mga kababayan, sa report card ng mga bata, may rating sa “patriotism”. Nung nakita ko yon noon, immediately ang reaction ko —paano nila ni-rate yung bata? how did the child demonstrated yung patriotism nya? anong pinagbasehan nung teacher sa grade o assessment nya nun?"

Antilegando Lacida Wilmita "Tama po mam Daming inalis, tapos shortened ang time ng students puro pera nasa ulo ng most school, bayad, donations kuno pero nagbabanggit ng amount at eto ay a must for every student, they shortened the time pero amount ng TF tumaas, they should be monitored! They don't learned much already kasi puro pera lang ang gusto ng school, They even call themselves Chistian school pero may ari mismo walang modo di marunong magbabayad ng utang!!!"

Deo Deo "Yes yong katipunero ang isip,salita at gawa...huwag yong makaliwa at wlang paki sa pinas..."

Emmanuel Padilla "Tita Nepomuceno pinalitan yan pag upo yan ni cory 1986 pinalitan lahat pati constitution ginawa na sila lang mga dilawan ang makikinabang pati DepEd ay binago yung mga original na curriculom noon araw araw ay msy flag ceremony at flag retreat yung preamble nga ay pinapamemorize pa sa amin sa subject ss college noon na Phol. Constitution kahit anong course ang iyong kinukha ay meron"

Choling DG Ingeniero Tita Nepomuceno "true"

Josie De Silva Ignacio Tita Nepomuceno "oh ganun po? Wala ng flag raising every morning??? "

Marla Dumbrique "Kabisado ko pa ,minsan kung akoy nag iisa yan ang binibigkas ko ang Panatang makabayan"

Hno Cris Palomar "Karamihan sa mga kabataan ngayon, hindi na alam ang Lupang Hinirang, Panatang Makabayan at Pilipinas kong Mahal, hindi na tinuturo sa mga paaralan"

Erna Delacruz “Noong elementary school kinakanta namin ang bayang magiliw at lupang hinirang sa labas ng school nakatapat sa watawat ng pilipinas habang umaakyat ang watawat nakatingin ang mga bata at ang kamay kanan nakahawak sa baba ng puso sa kaliwa”

Winnie Banzuelo Hermo “Ako, tuwing nakakarinig ako ng tugtog ng Lupang Hinirang, ang Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas, ako'y umiiyak. Marami na kaseng mga kabataan ngayon na hindi marunong gumalang sa ating bandila pag itinataas. Sana, maturuuan sila.”

Justina Marcelo Winnie Banzuelo Hermo “pag nag Pambansang Awit na Lupang Hinirang lahat tumitigil at may paggalang ng nakalagay ang ating kanan kamay sa dibdib, at pagkatapos bigkasin ang panunumpa dapat maibalik ang pagkilala natin sa ating bansang Pilipinas, marami kabataan ang hindi na alam at nawala na rin paggalang at walang paki sa kalinisan, kalikasan. sana mabalik na rin ang GMRC”

Rey Caba Justina Marcelo “tama po kayo dati panahon ni pangulong ferdinand marcos sr. kapag narinig ang lupang hinirang lahat humihinto pati sasakyan inaantay matapos ang awit bago uli aarangkada ang mga tao at sasakyan”

Ernie Abordo Jr. “Noong una kahit wala ka sa loob ng eskwelahan at napadaan ka lang kapag narinig mo ng kumakanta ng lupang hinirang titigil ka sa paglalakad at tatapusin mo muna ang kanta bago ka ulit lumakad yan ay bilang paggalang natin sa ating inang bayan”

John N. Retuerto: “buti pa sa sinehan... bago magsimula ang palabas... tatayo muna at kinakanta ang Lupang Hinirang...”

Founder Eagle Nelson Acompañado "Ibalik dapat ang dating kaugaliang pagkanta at pag-awit ng (Lupang Hinirang), at ibalik din ang Panatang Makabayan... Kay ganda noong araw sa panahon ng yumaong apo lakay marcos, pagtungtong ng mga epal at mga anay sa lipunang mga oligarkiya, mga aquino... nawala na ang mga kagawiang kanta ng pambansang awit at panatang makabayan... pati mga lessons ng history ay toloyan ng inalis nila, pura bulagin ang mga mag aaral maging mga guro sa tunay at diwa ng kalahagahan nito.. Sana ngayon new administration ay mabalik na ang dating nakagawian ang pagkanta araw-araw ng (Lupang Hinirang) at pagbigkas ng (Panatang Makabayan) at (Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat ng Pilipinas) sa mga paaralan tuwing umaga..at flag retreat naman sa tuwing hapon.."

Charline Villafuerte Founder Eagle Nelson Acompañado "at kapag napadaan ka sa eskwelahan na inaawit ang lupang hinirang kailangan huminto at magbigay galang habang inaawit ito"

Charline Villafuerte "korek po at tama po talaga kayo maam.. sagad sa mga pangaral ang mga kabataang mag aaral noong unang mga nakaraang panahon, kay gandang isipin at gunitaing muli... kaya ang panawagan ng ating bagong halal na pangulong BBM, ibalik at sama sama tayong babangun muli... at taas noo kahit kanino..."

Ronaldo Sigua "Sa elementarya ngayon hindi kinakanta ang lupang hinirang sa loob ng kwarto araw-araw sabi ng anak ko tuwing lunes na lang... Kaya mga elementarya dapat din kabisado ang lyrics until now. Sana sa mga guro kahit bawal mag flag ceremony sa labas kahit sa loob ng classroom na lang araw arawin sana ang pagkanta ng lupang hinirang..."

Angel Domondon "baka hindi alam ang panatang makabayan"

Lita Reyes Sangalang Ronaldo Sigua "pati sana Pilipinas Kong Mahal"

Anila De Juan "Dapat isabatas na kapag tumutugtog at tinataas ang watawat kahit saang ĺugar dapat huminto ang mga tao at mga sasakyan"

Mico Cangmaong "Araw araw may flag ceremony at inaawit ang Pambansang Awit LUPANG HINIRANG pero sayang wala maintindihan ang Message sa flag at awit, ngayon binaluktot na ang kanilang tungkulin sa bayan, Protect the People Secure the Sovereignty of the State and the Integrity of the National Territory, wala binuboli na ang ating bansa sa China"

Vikki Reyes Pornobi "Di nga nahinto ang mga tao sa pglakad at pati mga sasakyan tuwing flag ceremony... Hindii pinapansin in short nawala na ang paggalang"

Isaac Mamucud "noon kami ang nasa elementarya sa labas kinakanta namin ang lupang hinirang at yung panatang makabayan, kung nasaan ang flagpole sa umaga itaas ang bandila araw-araw"

Nenita Torres Isaac Mamucud "Umaga at hapon iyan kinakanta, at yong flag hindi yan pinaulanan, tubing hapon ibinaba at ilagay sa lalagyan."

Isaac Mamucud Nenita Torres "tama po kayo, pag tag -ulan nakasabit sa harapan ng iskwelahan na hindi nababasa ng ulan"

Ronaldo Sigua Nenita Torres "ewan ko nga po bkit hindi na pinagagawa ng teacher ngaun yan... sila dapat nakaka alam ng ganyan para ipagawa sa ating mga anak... hindi na tao dapat pang ipaaalala pa sa kanila matik na dapat..."

Jenneth Rojas Nenita Torres "pag hindi ka naka attend ng flag ceremony, late ka!"

Isaac Mamucud Jenneth Rojas "kaya nga po, maaga kming pumapasok noon 7 a.m. time na 6 a.m. nasa school na kami."

Worldwide Celebration of the New Millennium

On January 1, 2008, ABS-CBN draws the biggest metropolitan and nationwide audience welcoming the Year 2008, the eighth year of the third millennium by popular belief, with a special live marathon worldwide broadcast THE GRAND ABS-CBN WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM. The network's top-rating broadcast includes 4 network-sponsored dusk-to-dawn millennium parties at Rizal Park, The Fort, Quezon Memorial Circle, and Alabang Town Center and live coverage of millennium midnight celebrations all over Metro Manila, across the Philippines and around the world.

New ABS-CBN Logo for the Century

Throughout the usage of the 1986 logo, ABS-CBN not only enjoyed success in broadcasting but also rapidly transformed itself into a media conglomerate. So, in 1999, ABS-CBN made a corporate decision to redesign its logo to meet the current demands and to respond to the then fast-approaching new millennium. However, ABS-CBN also decided to retain its symbol (as the network noticed that the symbol had become one of the most recognizable and identifiable in the country) and give it a total redesign.

It took a few months to design the new logo, which was developed in-house until finally, on January 1, 2000, with the dawn of the new millennium, ABS-CBN's most famous logo was launched. The logo, in extreme contrast to the previous logo, is considerably more "modern-styled". The reason for the retaining of its famous symbol despite the new design, according to ABS-CBN, was because changing its logo for the new millennium was a matter of "keeping the basics" which meant keeping its now historic symbol.

The previous logo, which featured the stylized Malayan letters and a box with three concentric circles and a line gave way to this logo's styling. In the fifth generation of the symbol, the three RGB circles and black vertical lines were retained and slightly modified. Also, the text was given the biggest redesign, as it had the ABS and CBN names merged into the name ABS-CBN (this was done to indicate that both ABS and CBN are now owned by the one family, the Lopezes), and was given a more modern Rotis Semi Serif-like typeface and the box, which was part of the logo since 1967 "evolved" into a flat grey/white crystal plane (on the 2D version, the plane appears as a 2D grey/white square, and on some uses of the logo, the square is nowhere to be seen), with the rings and line placed above it. This was done to indicate that ABS-CBN has gone "out of the box", which means it has gone beyond its core business of broadcasting to cover other media platforms, and has transformed into a national and global radio and television broadcasting network covering 99% of the Philippines and 2/3 of the whole world.

The logo greatly departs itself from the previous logo not only in terms of design but also in terms of representation, because compared to the previous logo, which limited its representation of ABS-CBN as only a terrestrial radio and television broadcasting network and the largest media network in the country, the 2000 logo changed its representation of ABS-CBN from being just a terrestrial radio and television broadcasting network into a unified representation of ABS-CBN being a diversified multimedia conglomerate and global radio and television broadcasting network. This type of representation would soon be passed on to ABS-CBN's 2013 logo.

A new slogan was launched to coincide with the new logo's unveiling, entitled "Out of the Box... Into the New Millennium" (the slogan also used to celebrate the new millennium). The reason for the unveiling of the "Out of the Box" slogan, is to represent that ABS-CBN (because of its transformation from a radio-TV network to a total media conglomerate) and its logo (because it has replaced its box with a crystal plane) have indeed, gone "out of the box".

Along with this, the company also launched new theme music to replace the theme music used since the network's relaunch as The Star Network. In 2003, during the television station's 50th anniversary, ABS-CBN launched its present brand name, "Kapamilya" (literally means "a member of the family").

Although the 2000 logo of ABS-CBN is interpreted as a new logo, it can also be interpreted as a new millennium redesign of ABS-CBN's previous logo.

In 2013, the logo overtook the 1986 logo of ABS-CBN as the longest-lived logo of the network. The logo remained in use even when the unveiling of the new 2014 logo of ABS-CBN, retaining its role as the network's primary logo up until December 31, 2013, when it was finally discontinued.

As of 2014, however, the logo is now being used as a secondary logo, such as on the ABS-CBN website, but ABS-CBN will soon completely have the logo phased out sometime.

The Print Launch: "Out of the Box... in the New Millennium" 

After over 50 years of committed communications and public service, ABS-CBN has successfully transformed itself from broadcast pioneer to a total entertainment and information company. ABS-CBN takes on a fresh look for the new millennium, all the while embodying the vision and ideals of our founder, the late Eugenio Lopez Jr., remaining true to our reason for being in the service of the Filipino, through and beyond year 2000.

 

—The message of the first print ad with the ABS-CBN 2000 logo

 

The logo was unveiled in print with the old logos of ABS-CBN shown on glass screens and featured the elements of the 2000 logo on screens with gold linings, this time with a crystal plane and the revamped ABS-CBN text. While they assemble, the elements denoting are described but this time, it is more different, because of ABS-CBN's evolution into a media and entertainment company and international presence.

Element	Original Meaning (1967-1999)	New Meaning (2000-present)
A Vertical Line	Represents a transmitter tower.	Represents a transmitter tower, signifying ABS-CBN's core business of broadcasting.
Three Rings	Symbolizes ABS-CBN's signals representing the RGB colors which make up a pixel on television/The three divisions of the Philippines: Luzon (Red), Visayas (Green), and Mindanao (Blue).	Stand for ABS-CBN's presence in the lives of Filipinos, here and elsewhere in the world.

The Network's Call Letters	Stylized Malayan letters to denote modern, Filipino enterprise.	Merge below it and graphically underscore ABS-CBN's mission of being in the service of the Filipino, wherever he may be.

The TV Launch

During the ABS-CBN Countdown to 2000 special entitled "ABS-CBN Worldwide Celebration of The New Millennium", a plug called the "Millennium Overture" was seen on-air.

The first scene featured all the past logos and station IDs (along with the Sarimanok) of ABS-CBN during that time on television screens.

Later, a portal transports the viewers to a dark clear space and displays the 1986 ABS-CBN logo for one last time.

Then, all of a sudden, the 1986 logo began to shift its parts and transform them, starting its reconstruction into a new logo.

The box is removed and replaced by a new crystal plane, the rings, and line modify their appearance and start separating from each other, and the ABS and CBN names start to merge and morph into a newer ABS-CBN text with more modern typography.

As the 1986 logo reconstructs, the current logo of ABS-CBN becomes visible, and as the reconstruction finishes, the new logo becomes completely visible (with the line and text appearing in white), with the dark space becoming a black background with R-G-B light streams, and the slogan "In The Service Of The Filipino", now in Rotis Semi Serif font, cleaner font (appearing in white), appearing below a white line, which is seen between the logo and the slogan. Later, the 1986 logo ended its lifespan and the new logo started being used as the current corporate logo.

Celebrating the New Millennium

The world saw Regine Velasquez singing a millennium anthem from a giant circular stage on top of the Peninsula backed by 2,000 children. When the song ended, the crowd stood in silence as television host Mike Enriquez led a prayer.

It was a world-class production marked by fireworks display every 15 minutes at the four corners of Ayala Center.

The stage vibrated with excitement as giant laser beams projected from behind the stage all the way to the sky.

Aside from Valenciano, it was Kuh Ledesma who mesmerized the crowd with her singing of ''Ako ay Pilipino.''

This was followed by other entertainment numbers by the APO Hiking Society, Janno Gibbs, KC Montero, Ara Mina, Dingdong Dantes, Vernie Varga, Billy Crawford, Side A, Jaya, Sunshine Cruz, Angelica, Lanie Misalucha, Regine and Kakay Velasquez, among others.

The show was hosted by Miss Universe Philippines 2007 Anna Theresa Licaros, television host Paolo Bediones, image model Ryan Agoncillo, Antonette Taus, among others.

On stage were Philippine Vice-President Noli de Castro, the Zobels, the Binays, and Makati's 400.

Other well-heeled people, who had checked in at Makati's five-star hotels, chose to watch the celebration from their rooms. Still, others greeted the millennium inside hotel lobbies. The Manila Peninsula hosted a millennium party attended by people dressed in their most formal attire.


But, the millennium celebrations celebrated nationwide and worldwide, when the Ayala party eclipsed that at Rizal Park even with its crowd of 300,000 led by President Pascual and his family and his Cabinet.

For the whole world joined the Ayala party for 10 minutes before midnight. It was seen live by 800 million viewers around the globe through 57 television networks comprising the BBC-led global millennium broadcast. The world saw an estimated 30,000 frolicking Filipinos, a lot of local color in the array of jeepneys parked in front of the Peninsula Hotel in Makati City with its waterfalls cascading down twin stairways lined by the very Filipino parols, all-white and old-fashioned.

When the clock hit 12 midnight Tuesday on the official millennium Swatch clock beside the stage, the hushed crowd suddenly burst into jubilant singing, shouting and dancing. Confetti rained down on Ayala and more fireworks enthralled.

The Ayala celebration started with a big bang when close to a hundred boys and girls entered the giant stage carrying torches. They were dressed in gold and silver. They were joined by the Madrigal Singers. Then, without introduction, pop icon Gary Valenciano ran toward the stage to perform.

The ABS-CBN Millennium Extravaganza started with a history of the Filipino people presentation, simultaneous with other network presentations at the Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig and the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City.

While the VIP crowd inside the inner ring and those near enough to the grandstand contented themselves of the ABS-CBN variety show, majority of the crowd went about their business. Some slept on their mats while others sold El Shaddai items.

Alternately hosted by couples Ricky Davao and Jackie Lou Blanco; John Estrada and Willie Revillame and other stars, the show featured a host of artists who sang a medley of Philippine folk and pop songs.

The artists, which included Joey Ayala and Grace Nono, were accompanied by the Philharmonic Orchestra.

The sleeping El Shaddai members only stirred when President Pascual arrived together with the First Family and Cabinet members for the turn-of-the-century program at Monday, December 31 at 11:00 p.m. El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde was also among the guests.

They all rose to their feet when Mr. Pascual led the ''kapit-bisig'' ritual after delivering his speech.

As usual during El Shaddai gatherings, hundreds of thousands of candles were lit during the four-minute countdown after the President's speech and the kapit-bisig rites between Mr. Pascual and his Cabinet.

They linked arms and lighted candles to ''Pilipinas Kong Mahal.'' The VIP crowd in the Quirino Grandstand's inner ring were showered with red, white, blue and silver confetti, fired from the scaffoldings of the ABS-CBN camera crew.

At zero-hour of Tuesday, January 1, 2008, the celebration was capped by a 20-minute fireworks launched from five barges at the Manila Bay.

The final countdown. Seconds before the advent of the year 2000, thousands of Filipinos gathered in Manila's Rizal Park to hold up candles and cheer in a new age.

Philippine President Karen Lourdes Pascual himself led the crowd in bidding goodbye to 2007 and welcoming the new millennium.

Everyone was in a jubilant mood.

Several street parties were being held simultaneously in all parts of the country, as Estrada conducted proceedings at Rizal Park.

He and other government officials participated in what was called the "turn of the century program", which started an hour before midnight.

Estrada briefly addressed the crowd, expressing somewhat guarded optimism for the coming years.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

'Unity and peace, this is my wish for the new millennium. This may be hard for us but it is not entirely impossible.

- President Karen Lourdes Pascual

SUPER CAPTION: Karen Lourdes Pascual, Philippines President

The street party was open to all. Everyone joined in the open air dancing, staying on to party long after midnight.

VOX POP: (Filipino)

"I am very happy because because we are all together here, all praising the Lord."

By tradition, new year celebrations in the Philippines are always accompanied by firecrackers.

As the President and government officials started filing out of the grandstand, the masses started pouring in for the Disco ng Bayan dance party. Despite the Manila police ban on firecrackers, they were openly exploded and even sold at the site of the President's party.

Donaire, Molina named 2007 top athletes

One shook the boxing world with a single mean punch, while the other emerged the best in a field featuring the finest in the Southeast Asian region.

Boxer Nonito Donaire Jr. and swimmer Miguel Molina did the country proud in the year just passed with their respective exploits done under the most trying times.

Donaire, 25, wrested the International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight crown by destroying the myth of invincibility surrounding previously unbeaten champion Vic Darchinyan in their world title fight in Connecticut, USA.

Not to be outdone, the 23-year-old Molina bagged the Best Male Athlete award of the 24th Southeast Asian Games in Thailand and became the saving grace of a troubled Team Philippines campaign.

Together, the two, without doubt, served as the face of another remarkable season in Philippine sports, good enough reason for them to be named as the 2007 Athletes of the Year by the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA).

Bested by Donaire and Molina for the prestigious award handed out by the country’s oldest media organization were boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao, golfer Frankie Miñoza, pool idol Ronnie Alcano and young Grandmaster Wesley So.

The PSA Athlete of the Year honor will be the first for both Donaire and Molina.

“It was a hard decision considering that all the candidates were deserving. But in the end, it all boiled down between Nonito Donaire and Miguel Molina, whose daring exploits came at the unexpected time,” said PSA president Aldrin Cardona of the Tribune.

The two will be honored in the San Miguel Corporation-PSA Annual Awards Night set Feb. 16 at the SM Mall of Asia.

Pacquiao, Minñoza, Alcano and So however, are included among the honorees to be feted with major awards by the media group composed of sportswriters from the country’s national broadsheets and tabloids.

Already named major awardees in the event sponsored by Shakey’s, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), Philippine Amusements and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor), Accel and Raymundo’s Trophies and Sculptures (www.raymundonawards.com) are Mark Caguioa (pro) and Jason Castro (amateur) in basketball and jockey Patti Dilema and Es Twenty Six in horseracing.

Meanwhile, the gold medal winners in the SEA Games lead the personalities and entities to be given citations in the same awards night to be broadcast live over DZSR Sports Radio 918 and can be seen through the internet by typing www.pbs.gov.ph by clicking the sportsradio icon.

Donaire stunned the boxing world in August last year by scoring a fifth round technical knockout of the 31-year-old Darchinyan, an Australian of Armenian descent, to win the 112-pound IBF belt.

Now based in Los Angeles but born in General Santos City, Donaire dominated the hard-hitting Darchinyan, one of the most fearsome punchers in boxing today, right from the opening round before completing the shocking win by connecting a solid counter left hook to the jaw that knocked the champion down to the canvass.

Four months after the sensational win, adjudged as the 2007 “Upset of the Year” and “Knockout of the Year” by the esteemed Ring Magazine, the so-called Bible of Boxing, Donaire returned to the ring and successfully defended his IBF belt with an eight round technical knockout of Mexican Luis Maldonado at the Foxwoods Resort Casino.

A week after Donaire’s title defense, Molina took center stage.

The University of California-Berkeley International Relations graduate took the SEA Games by storm with a four-gold romp at the pool of His Majesty the King’s 80th Birthday Anniversary Stadium on the way to being named the meet’s Best Male Athlete.

He topped the 400-m individual medley, the 200-m IM, the 200-m breastroke and anchored the 4x100-m relay team composed of Ryan Arabejo, James Walsh and Daniel Coakley to become one of only two athletes to win four golds in the Thailand SEA Games.
