Watch Dingdong Dantes, Sunshine Dizon, Tom Rodriguez, and other Kapuso stars join together as they salute frontliners in the poem “Ngingitian Kita.”
Kapuso stars Dingdong Dantes, Lovi Poe, Sunshine Dizon, Tom Rodriguez, Benjamin Alves, Mikoy Morales, Mikee Quintos, and Rita Daniela, unite to perform their rendition of Yan Yuzon's poem titled, “Ngingitian Kita.”
In the video, the eight stars are seen in the touching tribute to inspire their millions of followers to respect and give support to those who are helping alleviate the coronavirus disease.
The poem are as follows:
“Ngingitian kita kahit maingat,
Kahit may social distance, kahit may kaba,
Kahit mata lang muna ang kita at mga tengang mapula.
Ngingitian kita.
“Bawat araw ay tila isang lobong lumulutang,
Sa gitna ng bawat higit-metrong puwang sa pagitan ng bawat isa.
Para umangat ang lobo at hindi sumayad sa lupa,
Ngingitian kita.
“Ngingitian kita dahil baka katulad kita--
Taong naghahangad lang ng mangitian sana.
Pero baka wala akong mapala sa pag-abang sa pagtanggap--
Kaya mauuna na akong magbigay,
Ngingitian kita.
“Ngingitian kita kasi uuwi ka mamaya sa kaway
ng mga kabahay na 'di muna mayayakap
Ngingitian kita dahil baka mamaya pag-upo mo sa dyip
Baka maramdaman mo na bukas susuko ka na.
“Ngingitian kita dahil may nais akong punan na gutom na kakulangan--
Sa puso mong balisa.
Sana'y maliit man ang mula sa aki'y matanggap,
Ay maisip din ng ibang ibigay ang sa iyo'y dapat.
“Sana'y kahit sa loob ng isang segundo magmistulan akong kapatid.
O kaibigan. O anak. O magulang.
O kaagapay. O kapwa.
“Hindi man tumabla kapag ipinagsama-sama'y
Baka maging halos kasing-halaga
Ng kalahating-yakap man lang;
Kaya't ngingitian kita at ngingitian kita,
At ngingitian kita.”
In the comments section, fans couldn't help but feel emotional upon hearing and watching their favorite stars come together to deliver the touching poem.
According to the Department of Health (DOH), the Philippines has now more than 3,000 cases of the coronavirus disease with a total number of recoveries to 73.
To contain the spread of the virus, President Rodrigo Duterte placed Metro Manila and the whole Luzon on an enhanced community quarantine until April 14.
However, this could be lifted or extended depending on the assessment of the Inter-Agency Task Force.
As of Monday, April 6, the virus has infected more than 1.2 million of the global population.
