Their version of a Christmas classic is part of Pentatonix’s new album, Holidays Around The World

 

American pop group Pentatonix lights up the holiday season with the release of their sixth album, Holidays Around The World—out via RCA Records.

The a cappella ensemble brings their global vision back to life as they collaborate with some of the biggest pop stars and idols from different parts of the world, including Chinese pianist Lang Lang, Congolese gospel singer Grace Lokwa, Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaji, Latin band La Santa Cecilia, Indian superstar Shreya Ghoshal, Japanese YouTubers HIKAKIN & SEIKIN, British a cappella ensemble The King’s Singers, and American superstar Meghan Trainor.

As for the Philippines, Pentatonix teams up with multi-awarded Broadway icon Lea Salonga for the Yuletide classic “Christmas In Our Hearts,” which was originally written and performed by Diamond-certified Filipino artist Jose Mari Chan. Brimming with effervescent harmonies and powerhouse vocals, the rendition revisits the Christmas holidays with a comforting, dream-like spin.

“I had the most wonderful time recording this classic Filipino Christmas song with Pentatonix,” Salonga posted on Instagram a few weeks ago. “And yes, this is the Christmas In Our Hearts you think it is.”

The song is currently making rounds on local mainstream radio and streaming platforms, thanks to its crossover sensibilities and gift of familiarity.

Following its release, Pentatonix is set to embark on a multi-city tour in North America and Asia to promote their new album, Holidays Around The World.

Pentatonix’s Holidays Around The World is now available on all digital music platforms via RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment. Listen to “Christmas In Our Hearts” here.

"Tayo Ang Ligaya Ng Isa’t Isa" - The 2022 ABS-CBN Christmas ID

Tweet

As the saying goes, there is always light at the end of a tunnel. But during the time we were immersed in the dark because of the pandemic and the challenges that came along with it, we’ve had to hold onto the little pockets of light and joy that kept us going—God, family, loved ones, and our friends. 

Now that we’re slowly easing into the normalcy of our lives, we let gratitude flow and express it through this year’s Christmas ID song “Tayo Ang Ligaya Ng Isa’t Isa.” We remember the reason for the season, and what better way to thank God but sing His praises in a bridge inspired by Gospel music? We also pay tribute to our life’s greatest blessings, the guiding stars that saw us through the most harrowing of times our generation has ever experienced: each other. 

Lyrics were written by ABS-CBN Creative Communication Management Head Robert Labayen, while ABS-CBN Music’s Creative Director Jonathan Manalo composed the music and headed the overall vocal arrangement and music production. Musical arrangement was done my Tommy Katigbak and Tim Recla rendered the final mixed and mastered song. 

The team behind the ABS-CBN Christmas ID 2022 Lyric Video: The 2022 Christmas ID Creative and Production Team: CCM Heads Robert Labayen & Johnny De los Santos, CID Director Paolo Ramos, Overall Head of Production Sheryl Ramos, Lead Producer Edsel Misenas, Production Assistant Dhalia Ga-as, Audio Engineer Paolo Ordoño, Producers Lawrence Arvin Sibug, Raywin Tome, Mark Bravo, Christian Faustino, Adrian Lim, Anna Charisse Perez, Revbrain Martin, Love Rose De Leon, Maria Lourdes Parawan, Kathrina Sanchez, Roda Baldonado, Kathrine Panganiban, Winter Delos Reyes, Talent Coordinators Winnie Mariano and Apple Segubience, Traffic and Operations Head Tess Perez-Mendoza and Production Designer Asia Sta. Maria.

Tweet

Holiday travelers are in for a treat as 2GO Travel, the Philippines’ premiere sea travel provider, offers an Php11 sea sale this 11/11 (Nov. 11, 2022).

 

The sale runs until Nov. 17, 2022 for travel from Dec. 1, 2022 to Jan. 16, 2023 for one-way sailcations from Manila to Bacolod, Butuan, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu, Coron, Dipolog, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Ozamis, Puerto Princesa, Tagbilaran, Zamboanga, and vice versa. The fares also available for voyages out of Batangas to Cagayan De Oro, Coron, Puerto Princesa, and Tagbilaran.

 

Passengers are provided with a generous 50kg baggage allowance, which is enough space to pack in gifts for loved ones in their hometowns or to bring pasalubongs and souvenir items from various destinations, as well as from 2GO ships.

 

2GO now offers travelers the mall-like experience onboard with well-known food and lifestyle brands available on all vessels.

 

Travelers can purchase MINISO’s affordable finds from daily essentials, home living, health and beauty products to bags and digital accessories, toys, stationery and gifts, as well as Kultura’s selection of proudly Filipino, locally made souvenirs.

As for food items, passengers can enjoy classic favorites from Goldilocks Bakeshop, such as cake rolls, egg pie, and its signature mamon. For those craving something sweeter and with variety, brownies with different flavors from Brownies Unlimited -- best paired with quality coffee – are just within reach.

 

2GO-exclusive milk tea variants and fruittis from Coolblog are in stock for those wanting something refreshing, while Snack Exchange offers nibbles that passengers can enjoy while on the journey. 

 

The mall-like experience adds to the unique sailcations 2GO vessels offer, which include spacious and clean accommodations, fresh and hot meals, fun onboard activities, plus views of the country’s beautiful islands from its famous sundeck.  

 

Travelers who wish to bring their furbabies may do so, as the vessels have allocated spaces for pets. Passengers also have the option to take their rolling cargo, such as cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles, along with them onboard.

 

Tickets may conveniently be booked online at travel.2go.com.ph; on-site at 2GO retail stores, SM Business Centers, any of 2,000 agents nationwide; or call (02)-85287000 for inquiries. For rolling cargo bookings, passengers may head to any 2GO ticketing and freight offices.

 

“We offer the most affordable option to travelers for their holiday getaways, especially for large groups, with each ticket already inclusive of the 50kg baggage allowance, as well as full board meals. This makes it easier for family reunions and get-togethers to begin their sailcations once they set foot on 2GO ships,” said Blessie Cruz, 2GO Group Head for Marketing.     

 

Hosting MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) such as fun team buildings and planning sessions are now possible on 2GO vessels, particularly on MV 2GO Masagana and MV 2GO Maligaya. The two ships serve as unique event venues with meeting and entertainment facilities that can accommodate exclusive gatherings.
