ABS-CBN is capping off a challenging year on a hopeful note with a lyric video of their 2020 holiday anthem “Ikaw Ang Liwanag at Ligaya,” which will be featured in its annual Christmas station ID.
The lyric video, released on Friday, November 27, features 20 Kapamilya artists performing the song, which was written by Robert Labayen and Love Rose De Leon, with music by Thyro Alfaro.
Among the artists featured in the video are Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Morissette Amon, Bamboo, Janine Berdin, Darren Espanto, Vice Ganda, Sarah Geronimo, Toni Gonzaga, Jona, Moira, Martin Nievera, Elha Nympha, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Iñigo Pascual, Angeline Quinto, Lea Salonga, Erik Santos, KZ Tandingan, and Gary Valenciano.
The song’s lyrics speak of how prayer serves as a light in dark times – a poignant message considering that the network was denied their congressional franchise in 2020, and was forced to implement a massive retrenchment in the middle of a pandemic.
The song also translates the words “liwanag” (light) and “ligaya” (joy) in various languages to reach out to as many of their viewers as possible: Waray, Kapampangan, Maguindanaon, Italian, Korean, and Arabic, among others.
The lyric video first premiered on iWantTFC, and can be viewed on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
The full ABS-CBN Christmas station ID will premiere on Tuesday, December 1. – Rappler.com
