The Filipinos' Gift to the World
Background
Songwriter Jim Paredes wrote the song in three minutes, with no revisions, using the success of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution as his inspiration. After finishing the composition, he sent it to WEA Records, who at that time is compiling an album of patriotic songs. The song eventually became its carrier single.
The People Power Revolution occurred on February 25, 1986, exactly 28 years ago. This thread is made in commemoration of that peaceful revolution that sent waves to the rest of the world.
The lyrics does not have an English translation yet but I tried to translate the chorus. I hope, I am able to convey the message it seeks to express:
Filipinos' gift to the world:
Peaceful means of revolution.
Truth, Freedom, Justice.
Can be achieved without force.
Unity is all we need to have.
