Johnoy Danao sings Tagalog version of Money Heist's theme song 'Bella Ciao'

Singer-songwriter Johnoy Danao sang a Tagalog version of the Italian protest folk song "Bella Ciao," or more popularly known as Money Heist's theme song.

Danao's rendition was translated by the late Filipino poet Romulo "Mulong" Sandoval.

The song, with lyrics such as "Partisano, ang aking buhay, ramdam ko'y pumapanaw. Masawi man na partisano/ bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao," narrates of a sorrowful yet resilient resistance against fascism.

Sharing his rendition on Twitter, Danao wrote, "Mabuhay ang hustisya.
Mabuhay ang demokrasya. Mabuhay ang karapatang pantao."
