3 popemobiles being prepared for Pope Francis

NOT two but three popemobiles are being prepared by organizers of the papal visit of Pope Francis in the country next week, a church official said Saturday.

Archbishop Socrates Villegas, an official of the 2015 Papal Visit Committee, said that there is a backup popemobile in case the two other vehicles the pontiff will use during his four-day visit in the country breaks down.

The bishop said one of the three vehicles has been the shipped to the country from South Korea, which the pope visited in August last year.

He explained that they provided more than one popemobile for the Holy Father since there has to be another vehicle for him in Leyte.

"We cannot transport the popemobile in Manila to Tacloban so understandably kailangan natin popemobile exclusively for Tacloban and Palo," he said.

"Dito sa Manila we will have the jeepney-inspired popemobile for the use of the Holy Father but we also have an alternate popemobile just in case something breaks down we have a backup," the president of the Catholic Bishops' of the Philippines (CBCP) added.

Villegas said the driver of the popemobile will be part of the papal party, noting that they did not provided a driver, who is familiar with the roads and areas since there a security car that will guide the papal convoy.

"We don't need that kind of expertise kasi there's a security car in front of it to be followed. What we need is familiarity with the preferences of Pope Francis because if he wants to stop or he wants to greet, he already is familiar with the body language of the pope," he added.

Asked if the backup vehicle is bulletproof, the Lingayen-Dagupan prelate said, "It is proof by angels."

Pope Francis will arrive in the country on Thursday afternoon for his Apostolic and State Visit from January 15 to 19.

Papal convoy dry run set By Aurea Calica and Mike Frialde (The Philippine Star) | Updated January 11, 2015 - 12:00am

Bracing for worst-case scenarios, the government will carry out massive security preparations and information campaign to ensure that the visit of Pope Francis to the country from Jan. 15 to 19 will be peaceful and orderly.

A dry run of the papal convoy, from Villamor Airbase in Pasay to the Apostolic Nunciature in Manila, will be held at 6 p.m. tomorrow following recommendations of top level security coordinators, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Francis Tolentino said yesterday.

The Nunciature along Taft Avenue in Manila will be Pope Francis’ residence during his visit.

“It’s going to be an actual simulation of the pope’s arrival from the airport, going to Andrews Avenue, going to Roxas Boulevard, going to Quirino and to the papal residence,” Tolentino said.

The MMDA chief appealed for understanding from the motorists who will be affected by the papal convoy dry run.

“This is the only time when our security experts can evaluate the preparations being undertaken for the papal visit. This will be a general dress rehearsal so we appeal to the passengers going to NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) and domestic airport to be early if they have flights before 6 p.m.,” he said.

President Aquino has ordered the team handling preparations for the papal visit to inform the public about the papal events aside from concentrating on the pontiff’s security, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail said over dzRB.

Starting tomorrow, the government will be releasing materials that will help inform the people about the papal visit.

There will be advisories on road closures, flight schedules as well as location of portalets, Valte said.

The government is expecting a bigger crowd compared to the visit of Pope John Paul II during the World Youth Day in Manila in 1995 where at least five million people took part.

Around six million people are expected to gather at the Quirino Grandstand where Pope Francis will celebrate a mass on Jan. 18.

MMDA assistant general manager for operations Emerson Carlos said the dry run would simulate the actual speed of the convoy when the pope arrives in Manila on Thursday.

For the dry run, the MMDA will be deploying half of the actual number of forces to be utilized during the actual papal arrival, Carlos said.

He said that as far as preparations are concerned, the MMDA is all set for the pope’s visit.

“We no longer have blind spots,” he said.

According to Carlos, the closed-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) positioned along the route of the pope’s convoy across Metro Manila had been tested.

He said that aside from the MMDA’s Metrobase, the CCTVs would be monitored in three other areas.

For security reasons, Carlos declined to disclose the other “command and control” areas of the MMDA for the papal visit.

Carlos said “Task Force Phantom” composed of motorcycle riders from the Philippine National Police’s Highway Patrol Group and the MMDA would be providing close proximity security to the papal convoy.

Task Force Phantom would be taking part in tomorrow night’s dry run.

Roads closed

The stretch of Roxas Boulevard from Quirino Avenue to the Airport Road in Baclaran would be closed to traffic three hours before the papal convoy passes through on Thursday, the MMDA said.

A three-meter “buffer zone” between the southbound and northbound lanes of Roxas Boulevard will be fenced off with concrete barriers.

“The buffer zone will serve as access space for emergency vehicles,” Carlos said.

The MMDA earlier said other roads to be taken by the papal convoy would be closed to traffic.

Affected roads include España Boulevard when the pope visits the University of Santo Tomas (Jan. 18 at 9:45 a.m.), Andrews Avenue to the Mall of Asia Arena (Jan. 16 at 5:30 p.m.), the streets leading to Malacañang Palace (Jan. 16 at 9:15 a.m.), and the streets leading to the Manila Cathedral where Pope Francis will hold a mass at 11:15 a.m. on Jan. 16.

Popemobiles

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) yesterday said three popemobiles would be at Pope Francis’ disposal during his visit.

CBCP president and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said the vehicles to be utilized by the pontiff include the popemobile he used during 6th Asian Youth Day in South Korea in August last year.

Church officials said the pope would be using a custom-built, jeepney-inspired popemobile while in Manila.

“We cannot transport the popemobile from Manila to Tacloban so we designed another popemobile exclusively for his visit to Tacloban and Palo. We have an alternate popemobile if in case it breaks down, we have a backup,” Villegas said.

The three popemobiles are not bulletproof to accommodate the demands of the visiting church leader.

Pope Francis, who has shunned the pomp of his predecessors, said he prefers to use open-top cars rather than the Vatican's bulletproof popemobile used by previous pontiffs.

Villegas said the Vatican has designated a member of the papal entourage to drive the papal cars for the Holy Father.

Papal vestments

The locally made vestments that Pope Francis will don for the three masses that he will celebrate here have been finished.

Ronald Allan Babaran, designer of Disenyo Sagrada in Bulacan, said the three vestments are adorned with Anahaw leaves, image of Sto. Nino de Cebu, Sampaguita and bamboo designs.

Students of the Lasallete School in San Jose del Monte City will act as the Pontifical Swiss Guards when Pope Francis celebrates a mass for priests at the Manila Cathedral on Friday.

For its part, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is confident that the five-day visit of Pope Francis to the country will be orderly.

AFP spokesman Col. Restituto Padilla said they are conducting security monitoring in relation to the papal visit.

He said they have not monitored any serious threat to the pope.

“We do not see any reason for anybody to harm the pope who is a man of faith, peace, justice and equality,” Padilla said.

Earlier, AFP chief Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang said the only security concern that they are looking at is the so-called “human surge” that could result in stampede in areas where Pope Francis will be having engagements.

Police Regional Office 3 officer-in-charge Chief Superintendent Ronald Santos said at least 3,000 members of the Bulacan police would be deployed in Manila to help secure the pope.

No sail zone

The Philippine Coast Guard will impose the “no sail zone” in Manila Bay during the papal visit, PCG spokesman Commander Armand Balilo said yesterday.

Two of the papal events will be held near the Manila Bay – the meeting with families at the Mall of Asia on Jan. 16 and the mass at the Quirino Grandstand on Jan. 18.

“We have received reports that there are people who are thinking of using boats to take them to the Manila Bay to witness the papal events. We will not allow that,” Balilo said.

The Southern Luzon Command has ordered all its units to intensify security measures for the papal visit.

The military will be deploying 12,000 troops in coordination with other security agencies to ensure the security of Pope Francis.

The Philippine National Police has mobilized 25,000 personnel in Metro Manila and Leyte for the papal visit. –With Evelyn Macairan, Jaime Laude, Ric Sapnu, Michelle Zoleta

What you should know about Pope Francis' PH visit

Catholics across the Philippines are gearing up for the historic visit of Pope Francis, the third pope to visit Asia's bastion of Catholicism.

But just how big are the government and the Vatican's preparations for what could be perhaps one of the biggest trips of the ''People's Pope'' since he assumed his title?

In an interview on ANC's "Beyond Politics", Ambassador Marciano Paynor, a member of the papal visit central committee, shared information about the upcoming visit of Pope Francis.

1. Vatican wants a Filipino-made car for Pope Francis

Paynor said one of the requests of the Vatican was for the Pope to ride a car that was made by a Filipino manufacturer.

''What they wanted was a vehicle that as much as possible made by a Filipino company, but since we did not have a car manufacturing company, as long as the dealership was owned by a Filipino then it was alright,'' Paynor said.

Aside from the car that will ferry the Pope from one place to another, Paynor said the Pope, like in his previous visits to other countries, wants an open and non-bulletproof "popemobile" that will allow him to interact with the crowd.

2. Pope waives review of troops

Since Pope Francis' visit is both considered Apostolic and State in nature, protocol suggests that he, as a visiting head of state, should conduct a review of troops, Paynor said.

Paynor, however, said ''in order to downplay the military nature of the welcome ceremonies, the inspection of troops is waived. That shortens the ceremony considerably."

Paynor noted the visit to the Philippines of then Pope John Paul II in 1995 was not a state visit, as his purpose of being in the Philippines was to attend the World Youth Day.

3. Pope wants to stay at the Apostolic Nunciature

Paynor said the Philippine government offered a different place where the Pope could stay in Manila, but the Vatican said His Holiness has chosen to stay at the Apostolic Nunciature to the Philippines, located on Taft Avenue in Manila.

''Of course as a good host we offered hospitality as we would to any visiting head of government, but they declined and said they would prefer to have the Pope at the nunciature,'' Paynor said.

4. No banquet for Pope Francis

Pope Francis, known for his asceticism, also declined an offer for a banquet to honor him, Paynor said.

''It was offered, but it was politely declined. Because His Holiness wants to maximize his stay here, he politely declined,'' Paynor said.

Pope Francis has also requested that the food that will be served to him during his visit here be simple.

5. More concrete barriers this time

Paynor said learning from the lesson of the 1995 visit of then Pope John Paul II, the Philippine government has created more concrete barriers that will ensure the on-time arrival of Pope Francis to his destinations following a motorcade.

''We need physical barriers…so that we can control the forward rush of the people,'' Paynor said.

Nonetheless, he said the government recognizes that the Filipino faithfuls cannot be stopped from approaching the Pope.

''You couldn’t push them in the normal way you would push people out. They didn’t see us. They only saw the Pope. Everyone was in awe,'' Paynor said, referring to his experience of coordinating the 1995 papal visit.

"Even the policemen who were supposed to be managing the crowds were also putting up their arms,'' he added.

Paynor said Pope Francis's open motorcade will be a logistical challenge, but he said parishes around the country were already told to appeal to churchgoers who will attend the papal motorcade to practice discipline.

''In our case, there is that natural tendency to move forward, and so we've convinced our brother priests to inform the parishioners that they will be blessed but they should help control or manage the crowd,'' he said.

''We are trying to ensure that at least the front row should be managed by people who have been told this."

According to the Department of Public Works and Highways, some 23,000 concrete barricades would line the route to be taken by the papal convoy around Metro Manila.

6. Philippines lobbied for Pope Francis to visit the Philippines ''since Day 1''

Paynor said the Philippines had expressed interest to have Pope Francis visit the country upon his inauguration as the Supreme Pontiff.

He said while Pope Francis' main reason for being in the Philippines is to visit the victims of ''Yolanda'', the invitation was already extended prior to the onslaught of the super typhoon.

''From day 1 we would have wanted for His Holiness to visit the country. So the invitation was always open,'' he said.

Paynor said the Philippines has prepared enough for this historic event.

''The government had weeks of preparation and scenario-building and trying to provide solutions to various scenarios. All I can say is we are preparing ourselves as much as we could, but I don’t think any country (preparing for a papal visit) can say for sure that they are 100% ready,'' he said.

The Pope will arrive in Manila on January 15, 2015 on board the Sri Lankan flag carrier. He will be welcomed personally by President Benigno Aquino III.

The following day, the Pope will pay a courtesy call to Aquino in Malacanang. He will also celebrate mass at the Manila Cathedral, then meet families at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

On Saturday, January 17, Pope Francis will visit Leyte, where he will celebrate mass near the Tacloban Airport, as well as meet survivors of Typhoon Yolanda.

He will return to Manila and meet the youth and religious leaders at the University of Santo Tomas on the morning of January 18. In the afternoon, he will celebrate mass at Luneta. Millions of Catholics are expected to attend the said mass.

The Pope will leave for Port Moresby on January 19 on board a Philippine Airlines (PAL) plane part of his Asian Journey.

Details of Pope's Jan 18 mass at Luneta revealed

With just days to go before Pope Francis arrives in the country, preparations are already being made for his mass on Jan 18 at the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta, Manila. According to the published itinerary of the Pope, the mass will start at 3:30pm on the said day.
Around 2,500 priests and 200 bishops are set to concelebrate with Pope Francis.
The altar will be decked with colorful plants that can be found in backyards in rural Philippines, according to this report.
"According to Pasig Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara, chairman of the Committee on Information and Media Relations, a special section will be allocated for 500 persons with disabilities, 500 from the urban poor sector, and 500 for the religious sector who will all be issued proper identification cards," reports Christine Hermoso in Tempo.
The report noted: "While the Eucharistic celebration will be said in English and the Apostle’s Creed to be led by the pope in Tagalog, the intercession will be in different dialects, such as Hiligaynon, Kapampangan, Waray, Cebuano, and Bikolano. Responses will be in English and Tagalog."
The report added that "in anticipation of the big crowd who will attend the papal mass, around 5,000 Eucharistic ministers will be deployed around the 20 communion chapels to accommodate attendees who want to receive the Holy Eucharist." For this purpose, white umbrellas bearing the logo of the Holy Father will serve as markers.
Moreover, around 5,000 ushers will also be on hand to assist the public.
Meanwhile, the Pope's entourage will consist of around 32 people including Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, CBCP President and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, Papal Nuncio to the Philippines Guissepe Pinto, Fr. Federico Lombardi of the Vatican Press Office, and Vatican State Secretary Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

Preparations to secure Pope in PH still need improvement—Roxas Read more: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/116572/preparations-to-secure-pope-in-ph-still-need-improvement-roxas/#ixzz3O852SsEQ Follow us: @inquirerdotnet on Twitter | inquirerdotnet on Facebook

Government agencies and security forces met with President Benigno Aquino III on Tuesday to present plans to secure Pope Francis and millions of people ‎who will gather during the Pope’s four-day visit to the country.

But Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II admitted on Wednesday that after the President scrutinized and critiqued the proposals of various agencies, more improvement is needed.

“Yesterday we had a four-hour session led by President (Aquino). He went over the proposed security plans for each part of the Pope’s visit and critiqued them. May mga dapat pang paigtingin at palakasin (We still have to iron out and fortify a few things),” Roxas told reporters during the Philippine National Police’s traditional New Year’s call in Camp Crame.

With only eight days left before the Pontiff’s arrival, Roxas added that the concerned agencies, including the PNP, will continue to polish the security measures for the people and the Pope.

Also during the meeting, all intelligence services of the government merged and presented a report to the President.

Roxas refused to divulge the report’s content but he named the agencies involved, which included the National Security Agency (NSA), National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA), and the intelligence units of the military and police.

“We are doing everything to make sure the Pope is safe. Also, the security of the people is equally important,” he added.

In a separate interview, PNP officer in charge Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina said they have not monitored any threats against the Pope.

“There is none. He’s well-loved by everybody,” Espina said.

But Espina said the PNP will not be complacent, saying they are readying contingencies in case something untoward happens.

“Even if there are no threats of course we always have to assume the presence of threats so we could prepare,” he added.

The PNP will have the largest bulk of deployed personnel with 25,000. From the Armed Forces of the Philippines, 7,000 troops and 5,000 reservists will be deployed

Pope Francis: Around PH without leaving Luneta altar

The altar at which Pope Francis will say Mass at Rizal Park on Jan. 18 will not be decked with flowers but with colorful plants that can be found in backyards in rural Philippines.

It will also be replete with other native elements symbolizing the Philippines—from the marble top and the white linen cloth of the altar table to the papal chair.

“If we can’t bring the Pope to go around the Philippines, we will bring the Philippines and its elements close to the Pope,” said the designer of the altar, Rev. Alex Bautista, who is also chair of the Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church in the Diocese of Tarlac.

At a press briefing on Monday, Bautista said the marble top of the wooden altar table came from Romblon, while the white linen cloth that would cover it was spun from Bulacan’s piña fiber, an indigenous material used to make the barong Tagalog.

The canopy will feature Bulacan’s arts and crafts, while the altar will be adorned with San Francisco and Pandan plants, which are “very common in rural backyards,” Bautista said.

Symbols

“In the design consideration… the concept is to serve the liturgical purpose and to have Filipino character and reflect the simplicity of the Vicar of Christ,” said Bautista, who also designed the papal chair.

Some of the design elements also have their corresponding symbolism relevant to the Filipinos, he said.

The San Francisco plant, for instance, requires light to acquire its colors, he said. “They need sun to have color. It’s like the faith of the people, [which comes from] Christ, who is the light of the world,” he said.

The altar table will also feature anahaw patterns to symbolize the strength of the Filipino people, he said. “The Filipino context will be incorporated in the design [of the altar], including the landscaping.”

English Mass

At the Mass, the culmination of Pope Francis’s five-day apostolic visit, devotees will get the chance to hear the Argentine Pontiff speak in Filipino when he leads the faithful to recite the Apostle’s Creed, said Rev. Carmelo Arada Jr. of the service committee on liturgy.

The Mass will be in English, following the new translation of the third edition of the Roman Missal, while the Profession of Faith, to be led by the Pope, will be recited in the vernacular, Arada said.

“The intercessions of the Prayer of the Faithful are prayed using the different Filipino languages—Hiligaynon, Kapampangan, Ilokano, Cebuano, Waray, Bikolano… and the response will be in Tagalog,” he said.

Highlight

The Mass will be capped with the lighting of candles and the singing of “Tell the World of His Love” to mark the 20-year anniversary of World Youth Day in the Philippines. “[T]he public is requested to bring their own candles,” Arada said.

Some 2,500 priests and 200 bishops will attend the Mass.

Music will be provided by a 1,000-member choir and 200-member orchestra, said Rev. Rufino Sescon Jr., executive secretary of the steering committee. “This is the grand activity and we hope to hear and listen to the message of Pope Francis,” he said.

French Catholics pay for liturgy books

As Filipinos hear Masses said by Pope Francis, who is visiting the Philippines this month, they will be holding liturgy books that carry Christian love from France.

A Catholic publisher in France will shoulder the printing of the official liturgy book for the papal visit, with French Catholics paying for the printing through donations.

Bayard Presse, which is run by the Augustinians of the Assumption, will be in charge of the printing of the book, which will be done here by its Filipino partners.

Rev. Bernard Holzer, general manager of Bayard Asia, said Bayard had three weeks in December to finish the liturgical book, as it had to be ready by the first week of January.

“We can manage. We are very efficient,” he said in a recent interview in Quezon City.

100-year experience

Bayard Presse has more than 100 years of experience in publishing. It publishes La Croix, a French newspaper, Living in Christ, a daily missalette in the Philippines and its versions around the world. The original French version is Prions en Eglise.

Bayard also publishes books in English to encourage the youth to read and practice their English.

Its popular children’s publications are “StoryBox,” “AdventureBox” and “DiscoveryBox,” all illustrated in full color.

Spreading Word of God

By offering to shoulder the printing of 100,000 copies of the official liturgy book, Holzer said, Bayard hopes to spread the Word of God and to get Filipinos into the habit of reading.

“The liturgy book will be distributed for free so people can follow the Mass,” he said.

Pope Francis is visiting the Philippines from Jan. 15 to 19. He is expected to say Mass at the Manila Cathedral, SM Mall of Asia, in Tacloban City, the University of Santo Tomas and at Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park.

The official liturgy book will include the liturgy for all five Masses, with its contents approved by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines and a representative from the Vatican.

Rev. Andre Antoni, director general of Bayard Presse, said a Filipino-French journalist would cover the papal visit for La Croix.

Speaking through a translator, Rev. Gilles Blovine, Antoni said Bayard wanted to spread the Word of God to a larger audience by publishing the official liturgy book for the papal visit.

“We want to give the people taste and love of reading,” he said.

Part of history

Aware that the liturgy book will become a precious souvenir for Filipino Catholics, Holzer said Bayard was excited about printing the book, as it would become a part of history.

“We are very proud to be part of this historic event. People are very excited about this visit,” he said.

What makes the Bayard Presse effort even more significant is that the funding is coming from French Catholics who donate regularly to Bayard.

The money for the printing will come from a “solidarity fund,” which has around 25,000 French Catholic donors and subscribers.

“We will tell them that it’s for our printing project here,” Holzer said, but declined to disclose how much the printing would cost.

Bayard subscribers donate in whatever way they can for the company’s objective of spreading the Word of God, Antoni said.

“Our readers are very generous. They want the Word of God to spread,” he said.

Blovine, the translator, said some of the donors made regular donations to Bayard despite being poor.

“We have observed that even though some of them are poor, they are even more generous and they give to the solidarity fund,” he said.

May be downloaded

A hundred thousand copies of the official liturgy book for the papal visit will be given away for free. Those who will not be able to get free copies can download the text of the liturgy book in PDF form from a website to be announced later.

Antoni said printing the liturgy book was part of Bayard’s tradition of serving the Pope by helping to spread the Gospel.

Holzer described Bayard Presse’s mission as both an advocacy and a dialogue with readers, Catholic or not.

“Our mission is to spread the Word of God and try to inculcate a love of reading in people. We want to spread it even to non-Catholics, in an open-minded way that they can understand,” he said.

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.

In the video, you can see the "Philippine Centennial" logo designed by Edgardo Santiago and slogan "Kalayaan, Kayamanan ng Bayan" by Joachim Medroso. 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.

• 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.
