TFC 20 Ambassador Gary V surprises OFs en route to home & sings of the ‘Galing ng Filipino"

The Filipino Channel’s 20th anniversary campaign reaches new heights
 
QUEZON CITY, Philippines - Oct. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- As premier network The Filipino Channel (TFC) prepares for its final take off to the culmination of its year-long 20th Anniversary celebrations, TFC 20 Ambassador Gary Valenciano surprised passengers en route to the Philippines via a Los Angeles, U.S.A. flight to Manila on October 13, as he performed the network’s anniversary theme and showcased the “Galing ng Filipino” mid-air.

Passengers who took flight PR103 of Philippine Airlines whether for a much-awaited homecoming, a short visit or a complete return to home, were treated to an early pasalubong (welcome gift) and a different kind of in-flight entertainment when the Total Performer traversed various sections of the plane to be with Filipinos travelling to the Philippines.   Like TFC’s mission to be with Filipinos in every part of their journey, Gary V showed that TFC endeavors to be with them as they go to the Philippines and back to their second homes, in their search for their own identity, to connect with family, reach out to their loved ones and even help build the community.

Much to the surprise and delight of passengers, Gary V broke out into the song “Galing ng Filipino” which essays salient characteristics for which the Filipino is known for: innate greatness or magaling; brilliant or matalino; resilient or matatag; diligent or masipag; dependable or maaasahan; fun-loving or masayahin; passionate or maalab ang damdamin; loving towards the family or mapagmahal sa pamilya; respectful or magalang; warm or mainit ang pagtanggap; religious or madasalin;dignified or marangal; courageous or matapang; kind or mabuti; and more.

The song written and composed by Jonathan Manalo, arranged by Gary V’s son Gab with additional lyrics by Pam Castillo and Jay Santiago, speaks of how Pinoys continue to carry these traits especially their ‘Galing’ wherever they are in the world.  Gary V has also been performing the song in various TFC and community events all over the world, becoming the overseas Filipinos’ battle cry as they continue on with the greatness of the Filipino.

Just this Saturday, Gary V shared the ‘Galing ng Filipino’ along with other world-class performers with thousands of Filipinos in the highly successful and momentous “ASAP Live in LA.”

During the journey back to Manila, the Total Performer turned the otherwise normal flight into a concert of sorts, as passengers of the flight including those who heard of the song for the very first time, sang along with the theme’s catchy tune and most importantly words, which they could relate to.

The flight could have been ordinary for the passengers but Gary V’s surprise completely spun the flight into their most memorable and became a continued testament to TFC’s journey with the overseas Filipino.  Witness the video on https://www.youtube.com/TheABSCBNNews and like us on facebook, twitter and instagram @#TFC20

TFC, pinag-ibayo ang 20th anniversary campaign nito
TFC 20 Ambassador Gary V, sinorpresa ang mga pauwing overseas Filipinos at ipinagpunyagi ang Galing ng Filipino


October 15, 2014 (QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES) Sa huling bahagi ng year-long celebrations ng anniversary ng premier network na The Filipino Channel (TFC), sinorpresa ng TFC 20 Ambassador Gary Valenciano ang mga pasaherong pabalik at papunta ng Pilipinas galing Los Angeles, U.S.A. noong Monday, October 13 nang ibinahagi nya ang anniversary theme ng network at ipinakita ang “Galing ng Filipino.”

Gaya ng misyon ng TFC na naglalayong samahan ang mga Filipino sa kanilang paghahanap sa kanilang sarili sa ibang bansa, paglalapit sa kanilang pamilya at pagpupunyagi sa lahing Pilipino, sinalubong ang mga pasahero ng Philippine Airlines Flight PR 103 ng isang masayang sorpresa nang nilibot ni Gary V ang eroplano para makasama ang mga Pinoy na pauwi o papunta ng bansa.

Sa laking gulat at tuwa ng mga pasahero, lumabas si Gary V at inawit ang TFC 20 theme na “Galing ng Filipino” na isinasaad ang mga di matatawarang katangian ng mga Filipino: magaling; matalino; matatag; masipag; maaasahan; masayahin; maalab ang damdamin; mapagmahal sa pamilya; magalang; mainit ang pagtanggap; madasalin; marangal; matapang; mabuti; at iba pa.

Ang theme na sa panunulat at composition ni Jonathan Manalo, arrangement ng anak ni Gary V na si Gab Valenciano at may karagdadang lyrics ni Pam Castillo at Jay Santiago, ay nagpapatunay na saan man sila sa mundo ay tangan ng mga Filipino ang katangiang ito, lalo na ang kagalingan.   Dala-dala ng Total Perfomer na si Gary V ang theme na ito sa bawat TFC at community events na kaniyang nilibot sa buong mundo para ibahagi ang kagalingan ng bawat Filipino.  Nitong Sabado lang ay kagagaling lang ni Gary V sa matagumpay na “ASAP Live in LA” kasama pa ng iba pang world-class performers upang ibahagi ang “Galing ng Filipino” sa performing arts.

Sa biyahe pabalik ng Pilipinas, nagmistulang concert on-air ang performance ng Total Performer nang nakisama ang mga pasahero ng flight, pati na ang mga first time lamang na marinig ang awitin, dahil sa tonong madaling sundan at lalo na sa lyrcs nito na tagos sa kanilang mga puso at damdamin.

Isa mang ordinaryong flight na maituturing ang pagbabalik ng mga Filipino sa bansa ngunit sa pagsama ni Gary V ay ipinakita ng TFC na kahit sa paguwi nila ay patuloy ang misyon ng network sa paglalakbay kasama ng overseas Filipinos.
