The world is just awesome in Marinduque, too !!!



"I Love the Whole World" is an advertising campaign launched by Discovery Channel last year to promote its tagline: "The World is Just... Awesome". The song used is a re-writing of a scouting song "I Love the Mountains" with the distinctive chorus "boom-de-yah-dah, boom-de-yah-dah". In our days during campfires in the central mountains of Marinduque we sang it as "boom-biyaya, boom-biyaya" (biyaya is Tagalog for grace or blessing).

I created this "Boom-De-Yah-Dah" video for the Discovery Network's Channel on YouTube as a video response to their popular ad. Such responses have been posted on the said Channel from all over the world. This Marinduque one features my 'moriones version'.
