Dedicated to inspire all Filipinos during times of adversity, Radio Mindanao Network (RMN) dropped its much-awaited, first-ever Christmas Station ID on Wednesday, December 1. Following the premiere of the campaign, fans were quick to express their hope, happiness and excitement on social media.
Directed by Von Arroyo, written and composed by Jan Aldrin Belisario, and through RMN Content Management and Development Group, headed by Mart Elias Carlo M. Marañon, the holiday anthem tells us that Christmas is a time for hope and joy to triumph any difficulty.
It was performed by some of today’s most sought-after artists and personalities, and features RMN Foundation’s beneficiaries and ordinary Filipinos with inspiring stories.
The Christmas station ID has amassed over 86,442 views as of this writing (December 22). Since it was uploaded on YouTube, majority – or 86.9% – of the views came from the Philippines, although Filipinos abroad were in on the action as well.
Outside the country, Makakarating Ngayong Pasko garnered the most views in the United States of America (USA), Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Canada – countries that are notably home to large numbers of Filipinos abroad.
Some viewers on social media shared how the song delivered the perfect essence of the Filipino Christmas. The YouTube video exceeded 240 comments, with one saying: “Ang sarap pakinggan. Yung kahit may problema ka, feel mo wala. Sobrang inspired at napaiyak ako. Namiss ko lang mama ko, nasa malayo kasi siya para magtrabaho. I love you, Ma.”
Another YouTube user shared: “Thank you for this CSID RMN! It takes us to be inspired and hopeful in this yuletide season and share blessings to others. And I love the concept of the songs, the true deep meaning of it – the magical really happens in the spirit of Christmas and I love you! iDOL! Mga Ka-ifm at RMN more power and god bless po.”
Meanwhile, some of the viewers also expressed their happiness after seeing their favorite Kapamilya and Kapuso stars, including Lani Misalucha, Martin Nievera, Elha Nympha, and more. “RMN is the station that collaborates artists from ABS CBN and GMA. So happy to see them together!”
An 8-year-old girl named Maria Lourdes Ranido from San Jose, Milaor, Camarines Sur, posted her heartwarming video on Facebook singing the full song with all the lyrics memorized.
