hanggang kailan

Labis na naiinip

Nayayamot sa bawat saglit

Kapag naaalala ka

Wala naman akong

magawa

[Refrain]

Umuwi ka na baby

Hindi na ako sanay ng wala ka

Mahirap ang mag-isa

At sa gabi’y hinahanap-hanapkita.

[Chorus]

Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay

Na makasama ka muli

Sa buhay kong puno ng paghihirap

Na tanging ikaw lang ang

Pumapawi sa mga luha

At naglalagay ng ngitisa mga labi

‘Di mapigilang mag-isip

Na baka sa tagal

Mahulog ang loob mo sa iba

Nakakabalisa, knock on wood

‘Wag naman sana

[Repeat Refrain & Chorus]

Umuwi ka na baby…

Umuwi ka na baby…

Umuwi ka na baby…

Umuwi ka na baby…

Umuwi ka na baby…

Umuwi ka na baby…

II. Q&A

Why did you choose to become a broadcast journalist?

The fulfillment of telling stories: about people, about events that shape history, that mold opinions, that make a difference

What do you consider as the turning point in your career?

When Jiggy got hit during the May 1 siege, I was literally “forced”, under the circumstances, to stand in, and deliver my first live report.

If you weren’t in media, what kind of career would you have?

Probably a car dealer

What is your biggest frustration/ regret?

That I am only one voice that can only do so much to effect change in the rotten state of affairs in this country

What is the biggest lesson you have learned as a broadcast journalist?

Every person, no matter how seemingly inconsequential, has an interesting story to tell. .

What is your most unforgettable moment/experience as a journalist in GMA?

Living like a soldier for a day in the jungles of Basilan

What are you most proud of?

Really, it’s being with GMA. I’m proud of the way we do things around here. It’s not perfect, but it’s working quite well.

What do you still want to achieve?

Ultimately, it is to be respected not only as a credible journalist, but as a person who has a genuine heart for people.

What is your advice to aspiring broadcast journalists?

Speak. Write and develop that true passion to communicate.

UNFAIR COMPETITION, CHEATING TIGERS!

LOVE WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING

Today, today I bet my life

You have no idea

What I feel inside

Don't, be afraid to let it show

For you'll never know

If you let it hide

I love you

You love me

Take this gift and don't ask why

Cause if you will let me

I'll take what scares you

Hold it deep inside

And if you ask me why

I'm with you

And why I'll never

Leave

Love will show you everything

One day

When youth is just a memory

I know you'll be standing right next to me

I love you

You love me

Take this gift and don't ask why C

ause if you will let me

I'll take what scares you

Hold it deep inside

And if you ask me why

I'm with you

And why I'll never

Leave

My love will show you everything

My love will show you everything

My love will show you everything

My love will show you everything

Ordinary People

[Verse 1]

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

[Bridge]

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

[Bridge]

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow
