Simbang Gabi

Ikalabing-anim ng Disyembre

Ikalabing-anim ng Disyembre

Ay simula ng Pasko!



Simbang gabi simula ng Pasko

Sa puso ng lahing Pilipino

Siyam na gabing gumigising

Sa tugtog ng kampanang walang tigil

Ding dong, ding dong, dong ding



Maaga kami kinabukasan

Lalakad kami langkay-langkay

Babatiin ang Ninong at Ninang

Ng Maligayang Pasko po

at hahalik ng kamay



Lahat kami masayang-masaya

Busog ang tiyan

At puno at Bulsa

Hindi namin malimut-limutan

Ang masarap na puto't suman

(lyrics missing)



Pasko na, Pasko na

May parol nang nagbitin

Pasko na, Pasko na

May parol nang nagbitin

Ateneo Task Force Noah now appeals for monetary donations

*The cut-off time for the reception of donated goods was at 12:00 noon today, 5 December 2004. The task force is now constrained by the availability of volunteers and warehouse space for the physical handling and storage of donations in kind as regular classes begin on Monday. For this reason, we highly encourage donations in cash or check instead of goods in order to ease our problems of volunteers and space, while at the same time providing us flexibility in our continued operations.



*While we will continue relief operations as long as necessary, we will now begin to focus on finding the best way, as a University, to support heavily affected towns and communities in rehabilitation work and rebuilding lives.



For monetary donations, please deposit to:



Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan *

BPI Acct no. 3081-1111-61



THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT THESE PAST DAYS. YOUR RESPONSE HAS TRULY BEEN OVERWHELMING AND HAS HELPED THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE RECENT TYPHOONS AND STORMS.
