Sa Duyan ng Malabon

Indulging in a little nostalgia.  ...And dreaming, as well.

Narito na ang Pasko sa Malabon

Dear Friends,


Today I'm letting this beautiful song and some familiar scenes from our hometown speak to your hearts...






May your Christmas be truly joyful and your New Year be filled with hope.

God bless us all!


Warmest wishes from Cecile M

Another discovery: the Malabon Hymn

I've just made another discovery: Malabon has its own hymn!

At this point I'm still trying to find out who the composer is. I was told that the singer is Mon Del Rosario but I have yet to confirm that.

But I'm eager to share the hymn with you pronto, so here it is!  When I confirm the singer and composer, I'll just add the info to this post.

MALABON HYMN

Ito ang bagong umaga

Bumangon na't magbikas

Tayong lahat ay patungo

Sa langit ng pag-unlad

Sabay tayo sa paglakad

Sabay ang ating yapak

Habang sa iisang tinig

Ganito ang ating awit

KORO:

MALABON, mahal nating bayan

Tayo ang siyang mga kawal

Walang kaba ang dibdib

Pagkat AKO, IKAW ay kabit-bisig

MALABON, ang ating tahanan

Dito ay may bayanihan

Isigaw natin sa daigdig

Tayo'y isang BAYAN, isang AWIT, isang TINIG.

(Repeat KORO)

So Friends, what do you think?


P.S. My thanks to GSD/Malabon City



ADDENDUM ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2010:
It's confirmed!  The Malabon Hymn was composed by Dr. Ramon del Rosario, Gintong Parangal Awardee, 1981. (From Tambobong to City of Malabon, Nonoy Marcelo, 2004)
