"PINASmile : Masayang Muli ang Kwento ng Summer Natin" Lyrics

(DJP)
Pangarap kong isang araw
Mahanap muli ang daan
Tungo sa bayang kung saan
Paraiso ang pakiramdam

Ito na nga ang araw na yun
Alam ko na kahit noon
Pag-asa'y di malayo
Dahil may ngiti sa'yong puso

Tag-araw na sa Pinas
Mga smile lumalabas (2X)

PINASmile mo kami
Parang araw matapos ang ulan
PINASmile Mo kami
Lahat ng bagay ay gumagaan
PINASmile mo kami
Sabi ng labi mo'y don't you worry
PINASmile mo Kami
May awit sa 'yong tawa
Whatever comes

Kayang kayang kaya! (4X)

(KB)
Dahil sa yong ngiti
Nagpakita ang bahaghari
Itago pa man sa dilim
Araw na to'y di palalampasin

Tag-araw na sa Pinas
Mga smile lumalabas (2X)

PINASmile mo kami
Parang araw matapos ang ulan
PINASmile Mo kami
Lahat ng bagay ay gumagaan
PINASmile mo kami
Sabi ng labi mo'y don't you worry
PINASmile mo Kami
May awit sa'yong tawa
Whatever comes

Kayang kayang kaya! (2X)

(DJP and KB)
PINASmile mo kami
Parang araw matapos ang ulan
PINASmile Mo kami
Lahat ng bagay ay gumagaan
PINASmile mo kami
Sabi ng labi mo'y don't you worry
PINASmile mo Kami
May awit sa yong tawa
Whatever comes

Kayang kayang kaya! (4X)

(KB)
Tignan lang ang mata ng bawat isa
(DJP)
May pitong libong dahilan para magsaya!

PRESS RELEASE below

Filipinos will always choose to smile amidst hardships; we find happiness even in the small things. We know how to be grateful and remain positive. We believe in the goodness of others. Indeed, despite the calamities that severely damaged our country, the Filipino optimism shines through.

As our country rebuilds itself from the calamities, ABS-CBN aims to promote the Philippines as a unique travel destination that takes pride in the beauty of each region, colorful culture, and of course, the stories behind the unique and infectious smiles of the Pinoys. Centering on the theme, PINASmile, the Summer Station ID will serve as a vehicle to showcase to people around the globe that the smiles are back in the country.

The team believes that genuine smiles can never be scripted, so the team made the Summer Station ID's goal to bring out raw and authentic happiness from the simple Pinoys. Kapamilya stars and news personalities were tasked to be the smile seekers. They were asked to immortalize these blissful moments with their camera lenses as they immerse themselves with the locals of the different places they visited such as the Igorots of Baguio, Aetas of Mt. Pinatubo and Ivatans of Batanes.

The Summer Station ID team also made it a priority to visit the provinces that have been severely devastated by calamities last year, particularly Bohol, Samar, and Leyte. The positive stories and warm smiles from these hard hit provinces are testaments of how brave and happy the Filipino hearts could be despite the tragedies that our fellow countrymen went through.

Let's make our summer story worth smiling about again, and show the world that the Philippines is one happy place worth visiting and coming back to.

Nathan Allen Responds to Agness Walewinder's Offensive Article About Filipino Street Foods

Five Days ago, a Blogger and at the same time traveller from Poland, Agness Walewinder, posted an article in her blog with an offensive title of "I Would Rather Go Hungry Than Eat Filipino Street Food Again!" And as expected, as one of the Social Media Users of Asia, Filipinos shared the article and responded in positive and negative way. But what caught our attention the most is Nathan Allen's Response To "I'd Rather Go Hungry" Girl's article and to note, they are both foreigners but Nathan's way of writing is done professionally. Now, check some highlights below.

Agness Walewinder, blogger of etramping.com

Agness wrote, "The biggest disappointment was not trying traditional Filipino dishes. Why? We simply could not find them! We visited enormous amount of local food stands and restaurants asking for balut, adobo, asado, daing and more and we we have heard was “Not here. We have some fish and fried pork only.”, “Do you want to try noodles instead?”, “We have some boiled eggs”. So, so disappointing!"

Nathan responded, "You admit that you weren't able to sample the best the country has to offer, so how is it fair to say you'd rather go HUNGRY than eat Filipino food again?  Don't you think that's a bit extreme?  I'd call it borderline unethical.  "

Nathan Allen, Blogger of  www.idreamedofthis.com

Agness wrote, "The Filipino food is packed with salt, sugar and oil. The meat we were served was soaking in oil, the fish that supposed to be grilled was full of oil and veggies we wanted to try contained more oil than the fattest meat we saw there. As we know, oil makes you feel so tired and slows your metabolism down. After having a few small Filipino lunches, we felt bloated and tired and we could tell it was the food."

"We not only started feeling fat (literally), but also suffered from stomachache and diarrhea. I had a massive migraine, mood swings and heartbum caused by spicy and oily pork."

Nathan responded, "I'm no expert...and forgive me for saying this, but based on the symptoms you have described, it appears you might have been experiencing PMS during your stay in the Philippines.  You certainly don't look very happy in the black and white photo at the top of your post.  The tone and mood of your post seems a bit irritable also, so it would make sense if you were uncomfortable during your stay in the country."

Agness wrote, "We asked for traditional Filipino breakfast when in Pagudpud. This is what we were served – a bunch of fruits, coffee with milk and some cakes filled with jam. Is this what locals eat in the morning?"


Nathan's long response (below)

Me?  Once I made an effort to get "off the beaten path", I found that traditional Filipino food was in fact quite unique and delicious!  My love affair started when I collected fresh clams with a family in Palawan.  They made halaan sa tanglad (ginger clam soup).  Next I got hooked on tocino each morning for breakfast, fresh, delicious mangos for (part of my) lunch, and tangy sinigang soup for dinner.  From there I went to the BBQ stalls of Cebu and enjoyed puso (hanging rice) and of course adobo, lechon, crispy pata...and lastly: pork afritada and mechado (two of my favorites).

Oh, and Agness, I have two words for you:  HALO HALO.


Nathan's advices to Agness? Here below...

I say come back (just don't tell people who you are:)  Give it more time, explore the country more fully, and with an open mind.  I'm glad you acknowledge that it's one of the most beautiful places you've ever been.  On closer inspection you just might find that this admiration extends to the people and food as well...I know it did for me!

Filipinos are wonderful people...so wonderful, in fact, that there is a good chance they will let you come back - just to prove you wrong about their culinary heritage :)



And to end up this special post, below are the amazing lines from Nathan that makes Pinoy proud of what we really are and what we can give to the world.

A screenshot of Nathan's article featuring Cebu's Puso (Hanging Rice)

Aside from all that, I would give you more credit if your observations resembled the actual reality of being a foreign tourist in the Philippines.  It pains me to read how you describe Filipino people and cuisine.

If You Don't Want to be Treated Like a Tourist, Stop Acting Like One

As you should know, if you want the "real deal", you must escape the tourists (and vendors who sell to them).  It's simple.  "Street food" in the Philippines is not the enemy, and I don't believe you have to go to fancy traditional Filipino restaurants to get great food.

Oh, and Agness, I have two words for you:  HALO HALO.


I know it's not fair to compare my experience to yours, because it seems you may have only been in the country for a week or so.  However, your short stay is exactly why I (and many others) hope you will be more careful with the "impressions" that you put out into the world in the future.

[VIDEO] News Station Accidentally Flashes Penis Photo amidst Helicopter Crash Coverage

While in the middle of a Helicopter Crash coverage, Fox Denver Affiliate KDVR tried to feed some twitter photos from the Crash scene but accidentally aired a penis photo. "After the first relevant picture from Seattle, the hosts stumbled when a picture of Edward Scissorhands popped up onscreen. That, in turn, was hastily replaced by a photo of an entrée resembling an omelette, which, after one more click of the mouse, was swapped out for a picture of an exposed penis." said in a huffingtonpost article.

What's with those reactions? Check Below! Credit to SladeHV (twitter)

Here's a screenshot of the Penis Show, for the VIDEO, click here

But hours after, the TV station has released Official Apology Statement:


While reporting breaking news about the crash of the KOMO-TV helicopter in Seattle, Fox 31 Denver accidentally broadcast an offensive photo while scrolling live through a Twitter feed of pictures from the crash scene.

The photo was mistakenly broadcast by our control room. It did not come from the tablet many viewers saw being used by one of our anchors.

We apologize for the inadvertent broadcast of the image and we are taking immediate steps to prevent such an accident from happening again.
