LYRICS (English Translation)

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema

Sometimes you will feel the weight of your problem

Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing "Di ko na kaya"

Sometimes you will meet hardships and feel like saying "I give up"

Tumingin ka lang sa langit

Just look up in heaven

Baka sakaling may masumpungan

Maybe you might find something by chance

Di kaya ako’y tawagin

Perhaps you can also call me

Malalaman mong kahit kailan

You'll then know that we'll forever...

[chorus]

Hawak-kamay

Hold hands

Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay

I won't leave you in this journey

Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan

Here in this world of uncertainty

Hawak-kamay

Hold hands

Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay

I won't let go of you in this journey

Sa mundo ng kawalan

Here in this world of loss

Minsan madarama mo

Sometimes you will feel
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa

That the world is starting to crumble under your feet

At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka

And that your problems are sweeping you away

Tumingin ka lang sa langit

Just look up in heaven

Baka sakaling may masumpungan

Maybe you might find something by chance

Di kaya ako’y tawagin

Perhaps you can also call me

Malalaman mong kahit kailan

You'll then know that we'll forever...

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]

Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka

Don't ever say that you're all alone

Laging isipin meron kang kasama

Always remember that you have someone beside you

Narito ako oh, Narito ako

I'm just here, oh, I'm here

[repeat chorus]

Sa mundo ng kawalan

Here in this world of loss

Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay

Hold hands, hold hands

Sa mundo ng kawalan

Here in this world of loss

PP'S CONCERT - "A TRIBUTE TO HEROES"

On the occasion of our second year anniversary, Pusong Pinoy will stage a benefit concert entitled "A Tribute to Heroes," a night dedicated to honoring our outstanding heroes and superheroes.  Join us for a night of celebration and fantastic entertainment to raise funds for our cause.  All proceeds will benefit Pusong Pinoy.

Since 2009, we have grown to a force of over 30,000 heroes worldwide via Facebook making a difference in so many lives - one book, one meal, one piece of clothing at a time. Our mission is to provide assistance to organizations in the Philippines with effective programs designed to advance the well-being of disadvantaged children, especially in the areas of education, health care, and social services with primary focus on their efforts to promote literacy through reading.

For this event, we are also creating a Souvenir Program. It is in this light that we also invite you to be a major part of this endeavor by advertising through our Souvenir Program. Either by personal messages or business advertisements, this is an excellent way to get your message out that will be remembered by the hundreds of people attending the event. You have several choices and all proceeds will go to Pusong Pinoy’s causes.

JR PP HERO ALEX SONSALLA'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT PSAC

Another super fun-filled celebration happened at Transville, Banay-banay, Lipa City where more than 120 less fortunate children with their parents celebrated the birthday of our very own Hong Kong Team Leader Jinky Sonsalla's daughter, ALEX SONSALLA.  There were food, games, drawing contests, and book reading sessions.  Thank you, Alex, for bringing smiles to these children! 

Special thanks to all the volunteers of Parish Social Action Committee (PSAC) for making sure this event was a success and most especially to PSAC President LIZA DE JESUS for coordinating this event with PP! You're all amazing!
