MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Heroes rise in the most trying of times—this was proven by the global response to the pandemic that is COVID-19.
To recognize the valiant efforts of these modern-day heroes and rally them in this battle, ABS-CBN launches its music video tribute “Pag-ibig Ang Hihilom Sa Daigdig,” on TV Patrol tonight, April 3.
It illustrates how love propels Filipinos to actions that help overcome any adversity, even one the scale of this massive health crisis.
The music video features touching scenes of health workers and frontliners who tirelessly care for the sick despite the risk to their own health and ordinary citizens who shell out not just money but their time and effort to protect our health workers and the vulnerable.
