Fear not!

We've found the best guy for you...

Kailangan nyo ba ng tutugtog sa inyong special occasion? 

O haharana sa inyong gabi, 

Si DOMINIC GUMAMELA po ang inyong kailangan.

Tubong Capalonga, mapagmahal sa bayan, tagapaglingkod sa simbahan, maaasahang magulang, at mabuting kaibigan.  Awarded as Independent Artist of Bicol, Dominic composes his own songs, he's made an album Lubos Kang Mahal and performed live in Daet during the feast of Sto. Nino.  He's also doing gigs/shows in different bars in Quezon City singing his compositions and doing some cover songs.  But most of all, putting aside all the pandemonium of the limelight, he still has time for his family and his vocation as the servant of God.  He's been teaching music lessons, heading the choir and I heard composing psalms...all for the glory of his Creator.

Now that we're in the verge of yet another milestone, our country, Philippines, selecting deserving candidates for the higher offices of the government, Dominic has one composition he would like to share with us.

Take time to read the lyrics of his song, made especially for the coming election.

PILIIN MO

performed by DOMINIC "dominicg" GUMAMELA
music and lyrics: Dominic Gumamela

 

(ref)
Piliin mo
karapat-dapat na kandidato
Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao
at magmamahal ng Bayan mo
Piliin natin 'yong may pagmamahal sa kapwa.
katangia'y mapag-pakumbaba.

Paka-isiping mabuti
Ang boto mo'y huwag mong ipagbili
Kahirapa'y malalampasan din
Kung tamang desisyon ang gagamitin
Totoong tao at may mabuting prinsipyo
Ang ilagay natin sa puwesto.

Sa ating mga kamay nakasalalay
Kaunlaran nitong ating Inang Bayan
Halikayo, mga kaibigan
Buksan natin ang ating isipan
Tamang pagpili tayo ang makikinabang.(ref)

Kapit-kamay, tayo ay sama-sama
Labanan natin ang karahasan
Itaguyod natin malinis na halalan
Kung magkaka-isa, kapayapaan ay makakamtan.(ref)

Here's a message from the composer/performer of the above song.

We can share some good things like our talent to help and educate other voters in or own special way...May my song be an inspiration to other artists to move and be part of the calling of the church to have an honest, official, peaceful election this May 2010.

Mga kabataan, gising!

Here is my advocacy: TO HAVE A HOPEFUL, OFFICIAL, PEACEFUL ELECTIONS (H.O.P.E.)
