Pilipinas Got Talent alumni and Digos City, Davao del Sur native Buildex Pagales was chosen by Coca-Cola to sing the fun “Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Coca Cola” song. The song is obviously written especially for my beloved hometown Davao and for fellow Dabawenyos 🙂
Buildex Pagales is just 15 years old (I can almost hear the shrieks from all the female tweens! :D) and he’s supposedly dubbed as “the Bruno Mars of the Philippines.” He basically knocked the Pilipinas Got Talent judges’ knocks off when he sang Bruno Mars’ “Billionaire” and “Just The Way You Are.” Reports also say that one of the judges, Kris Aquino, even shared on Twitter that she found the fellow Mindanaoan’s story “inspiring.”
This “Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Coca Cola” song is part of the said beverage company’s ongoing “open Coke, open happiness” campaign.
Here’s the official video of Buildex Pagales singing Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Coca-Cola:
If you want to sing along, here are the lyrics of Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Coca Cola by Buildex Pagales:
Lain laing luna ang atong gigikanan
Ang atong panag’ uban wala’y kaparehas
Mao nga dali na, itodo na nato
Isinggit na, ang gugma sa atong dakbayan
CHORUS
Madayaw Davao! Dinhi kusog ang pagkamadagipon
Madayaw Davao! Dinhi malipayon ang kinabuhi
Dinhi ang akong gugma, dili mahanaw
Dinhi ang akong garbo, wala’y katapusan
Mao nga pagmata na! Ipakita sa kalibutan
Kini ang tinood! Ang atong garbo!
Mao nga dali na! Itodo ng kalipay
Awiton ta ang gugma sa akong dakbayan!
Madayaw Davao! Gusto namo ang labaw sa tanan
Madayaw Davao! Lahi ra gyud kung magka uban uban
Dinhi ang akong gugma, dili mahanaw
Dinhi ang akong garbo, wala’y katapusan
Dili ko garboso, gusto lang nako isangyaw
Lain lain man ang atong mga panglantaw
Usa lang ang makahatag pahiyom
Biisan asa man makaabot nga dapit
Kini gihapon ang gina binabalik-balikan
CHORUS x2
Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Davao! x2
To introduce the song in a cool way, a flash mob type of dance was recently conducted at a Davao mall. Here’s the video of the flash mob:
Davao Kini, Lingaw Diri! (I like this slogan!)
