The inspiration came form a videoke-hooked VIP from the United Nations. If the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) sound too bureaucratese to hold your attention, maybe recording stars like Sharon Cuneta, Lea Salonga and Gary Valenciano, or the comic Ai Ai de las Alas, could help put you in the mood to support these noble causes.
The UN office in Manila on Friday launched a compact disc featuring original Filipino compositions designed to popularize the MDG’s-the UN’s 8-point mission to significantly reduce global poverty by 2015.
The MDG album, titled “Tayo Tayo rin sa 2015 (No One Else But Us in 2015),” contains tracks conveying each of the eight targets. Lending their voices to the project were A-list performers in the local music industry, who did the recording sessions for free. The album has Gary V. leading off as the ambassador for Goal No. 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, exhorting all to work “For a Better Life.”
