Padapadakam (Ilocano Birthday Song)

My 70-year-old Daddy, Dominador Valenzuela, singing Padapadakam (Ilocano Birthday Song) 12/18/09. Practicing for my auntie/his older sister's, Auntie/Manang Betty's, birthday party which is tomorrow. Just thought I'd share his beautiful voice with the world. PADAPADAKAM
