I think the point of the video focuses on the human spirit, despite the surroundings, the environment they are happy. I should shoot a counterpoint video in suburban america where many of the children appear lifeless and dull. I think if people saw outside of themselves or traveled and saw all humans worthy of a chance at life or opportunities it would be a different planet.

He is Freddie Aguilar from the Phillipines. I remember it from the 1970's when I was over there. I only heard it in Tagalog. One of the Phillipine Dialects. Hearing the English Version is just as good. I was moved by the song never knowing the words until a friend translated it to me.

videos such as this and documentaries on tv showing stories of poor/suffering/sick ppl reminds me I'm not alone in my struggles. Nagpapatatag. Wish they will be ok.

filipino version is better, but english version is ok, to market it internationally

Hi All -

This is one song that will touch many hearts, many minds around the world for a long long time and will remain fresh, refreshing and loved by many. I heard the Filipino version ages ago and whenever I heard this I am deeply touched and felt the pangs of old, nostalgia overcomes me and melancholy all along the road. I love this song. Love this one too !
