GARY GRANADA

ALAY MO BUHAY KO was one of the songs recorded in the album DAMDMAIN NG BAGONG KABATAAN, released November 1986. Philippine classics... .

Sung by the WEA's Children's Choir, the song was a charity project of WEA Records and Safegiuard. The proceeds were used for the benefit of the UNICEF project to protect the children of Negros. 

Composer Gary Granada is probably better known in the gospel music industry. He has won many competitions for his compositions, the most recent (!early 1988!) of which are: EARTH KEEPER for the Environment Song Contest, and BAHAY for the KBP Music Fest. His song ALAY MO BUHAY KO (I brought on air many times in my radio shows in Davao City!) also won an award in last year's advertising congress.

Cultural Center of the Philippines - PIANIST RAUL SUNICO IS NEW CCP PRESIDENT

When it came to Philippine Classical Music, I got really honoured to meet Raul Sunico,

who obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Music (cum laude) among many others. He later obtained his Master of Music degree from the Juillard School of Music in New York under Sascha Gorodnitzki.

In the Philippines, he was a winner of the Manila Symphony Young Artists Auditions.

Because of him I learned more about Philippine classical music.

It's indeed a very interesting post, I would like to share with you.

Take Good Care!

I am an expatriate living in the Philippines for good since 12 years. I have never been back in Germany, my home country. I visited the Philippines since 1976 - since 1982 on a regular basis. I always remember the phrase: "Take good care of yourself!" Sure, I did! I always did good care of myself - also whiule staying in more then 60 other countries worldwide. 

Although one takes good care, anything can happen: an accident, an illness. Also YOU, just reading this, may be at risk.

Did you experience any chest pains or heaviness? Come on, stop smiling. Have you had a weakness or numbness on one side of your body which resolves completely at the end of the day? Come on, yes I DID BEFORE! I experienced it twice - mild strokes. Nearly 26 million people worldwide die (!) every year of diseases associated with "atherothrombosis". 

Now, hy am I so concerned about this topic? Sure, everybody can get sick or ill. Filipinos and expats living herein the Philippines. Fact is, the Philippine health infrastructure is deadly! I really hold my breath reading alot of news while researching for this post. No, no good news! Sorry, really bad news!

It happened several months ago, but it's still up to date: Philippine "STAR"-columnist Boo Chanco, whom I really admire, has been talking to a number of doctors and always got the same message: "If you should have a heart attack or stroke, pray that neither happens outside of Metro Manila nor Metro Cebu!" Boom-bang! How about all the other places in the Philippines? Mindanao, Davao City - has not breath a word. 

It means to say: Proper emergency care is not available outside Manila and Ceby. Which hospitals, I am referring to Mindanao, in my case especially Davao City - can provide proper emergency care and treatment for these two medical emergencies?

Let's mention again basic tourism programs, retirement programs or the development of luxury second homes away from the metro areas, as Boo Chanco stressed. I am pretty sure we can't wait for the government again to provide us. The private  sector developers indeed will have to include adequate mdeical facilities in their plans.

PhilHealth is not bankrupt. Even being an expat I am a member of. And, by the way, the "Generic Pharmacy" (Mabisa na - Matipid pa!!!) is still extending nationwide. 

Take good care of yourselves, guys! Stay safe and healthy in the Philippines.

Remembering the history of classical composers - Klaus Doring's Classical Music

Since I live in the Philippines for good I do appreciate more and more classical music.


No, it's not because of a certain culture shock. Classical music  helps me to rewind and relax.


One of my most famous classical composers is Edvard Grieg.
