Message from Uno: New Year, New Song

Mistula starts the New Year with a song to share.

Panalangin sa Panahon ng Bagyo (Prayer in the Time of Storm) was written after Typhoon Ondoy devastated our country and left so many of us homeless and hopeless. It is a gift, our donation to every person who feels small and powerless in the face of calamity.

We would’ve presented this song last year had a baby not taken our lives by storm. In 2010, our creators Joey and Rey weathered a rough pregnancy and gave birth to a super typhoon called Korbin. Until now, she keeps us wondering if the next day is going to be calm or turbulent. For such is life: ever-changing, never predictable.

Will the New Year bring new storms in our lives? Naturally. They will come in the form of tropical cyclones, cataclysmic careers, whirlwind relationships. It does not matter how they come, what is important is how they leave us: not victims but victors, weather-beaten but unbroken.

The next time you feel the clouds gathering above you, sing.

Let us welcome the storm with a song in our heart.

Like every prayer, Panalangin Sa Panahon Ng Bagyo is most powerful when sung in unison. So share this song. Sing it with your family. Your friends. Your classmates. Your choir. Sing it with faith, with hope, knowing that sometimes, it takes a storm to bring out the best in us.

“Ang buhay ay weather-weather lang.”
-Kuya Kim Atienza
