True to tradition, ABS-CBN ushered the Christmas season with its heartwarming Christmas ID, “Our Stories Shine this Christmas,” which celebrates the inspiring stories of everyday heroes who serve as bearers of light and hope in their communities.
The video showcased the tales of JV Ambrosio and other family breadwinners, single-mom Elaine and cancer patient baby Zoe, alopecia warrior April Doria, as well as typhoon survivors and how they continue to rise up and face everyday challenges with positivity and renewed hope.
Also, selflessness took centerstage as the Christmas ID also featured the stories of Hernando “Mang Nanie” Guanlao and his community library, Tatay Carlos Orit and his rescue dogs, and Philippine Navy’s sacrifice and heroism.
“Our Stories Shine this Christmas” was recorded by ASAP icons Angeline Quinto, Erik Santos, Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Sarah Geronimo, Yeng Constantino, Zsa Zsa Padilla, It’s Showtime family and hosts Anne Curtis, Kim Chiu, Darren Espanto, Ogie Alcasid, and Vice Ganda, as well as Bamboo, BINI, Coco Martin, and Piolo Pascual.
It was written by ABS-CBN’s Creative Communication Management’s head Robert Labayen, Des Parawan, LA Sibug, Love Rose de Leon, and Rev Martin, with music by Jonathan Manalo, and arrangement by Tommy Katigbak and Theo Martel.
Meanwhile, the 2024 ABS-CBN Christmas shirts are now available for pre-order for P360 and a portion of its proceeds will go to ABS-CBN Foundation’s “Tulong-Tulong Kapamilya” fundraising drive for typhoon victims. Those who wish to go “twinning” with their favorite Kapamilya stars and give a gift that also gifts typhoon victims can pre-order the shirts from Shirts and Prints PH on Facebook, Lazada, and Shopee.
