Help Disaster Victims by Buying a Kapamilya Parol

ABS-CBN stages a widespread campaign to help disaster-affected Kapamilyas by selling parols, a Pinoy Christmas icon, to jive with this year’s theme “Lumiliwanag ang Mundo sa Kwento ng Pasko”.

By purchasing a “Kapamilya Parol” whose central icon was designed by kids orphaned during the Typhoon Sendong, buyers are taking part in an effort to help disaster-affected Kapamilyas as all proceeds will be donated to Sagip Kapamilya, ABS-CBN Foundation’s project that provides relief to affected communities of disasters, as well as rehabilitation and disaster risk reduction projects.

Sagip Kapamilya will be allocating “Kapamilya Parol” funds to the families directly affected by the recent calamities of 2012, including orphaned children who are under the continued care and assistance of Sagip Kapamilya.

Buyers can hang these parols in their homes but it can also be donated to less fortunate families through the ABS-CBN Online Store at abscbnstore.multiply.com. ABS-CBN will give a parol in the donor’s name to a child or family affected by the calamities of 2012 and upon receipt of the parol, an email will be sent to the donor with the recipient’s name and if possible, a photo as well. Proceeds of the donated parols will still go to Sagip Kapamilya.

The “Kapamilya Parol” is now available in SM Kultura, selected ABS-CBN Regional Network Stations, selected provincial department stores such as LCC Malls and Fiesta World Malls, and at the ABS-CBN Store. It is also available globally and nationwide through the ABS-CBN Online Store.

Kwento ng Pasko Lyrics
ABS-CBN 2012 Christmas Station ID theme

Hindi lang sa langit nandoon ang mga bituin
Pagnasilayan ang pag-asa mata mo rin ay may ningning
Hindi lang sa langit nandoon ang mga anghel
May nag-aalay ng kabutihan, hindi mo marinig
Ang magbigay ng sarili sa isa’t isa
Ito ang kwento ng pasko, ito’y liwanag ng mundo.

Wohoooo wohooooo

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Dalhan natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan

Ilang ulit man ang dilim sa buhay natin dumating
Di papanaw, di mauubos and mga bituin
Ang magbigay ng sarili sa isa’t isa
Ito ang kwento ng pasko ito’y liwanag ng mundo

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Dalhan natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan

Ang liwanag ng Pasko ay kwento ng katuparan
Ng pangako ng Diyos sa buong sanlibutan

Wohoooo wohooooo

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Dalhin natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, sing dami ng magpapala
Lumiliwanag ang mundo sa kwento ng Pasko
