A group of Filipino composers have recorded a song paying tribute to ABS-CBN.
The song, composed by Bernadette Gutierrez (composer of “Kaibigan Lang Pala”) and the “Sakop Songwriters”* is entitled “DEAR ATE CHARO.”
Aside from Ms. Gutierrez, the composers include Marizen Yaneza-Soriano, composer of “Iingatan Ka,” which was a hit song of Carol Banawa, Roni and Gigi Cordero, composers of “Hanggang,” which was interpreted by Wency Cornejo in the 2002 Himig Handog contest, Blank Tape, novelty artist, and Junn Sta. Maria, composer of “Minsan Pa,” which made popular by Zsa Zsa Padilla, and was one of the iconic songs of the 80s.
The song, which was uploaded on Facebook, is said to be dedicated to their comrades in the music industry who have been affected by the closure of ABS-CBN.
(*Note: “SAKOP” means “Samahan ng mga Kompositor/Musicians na Pinoy)

3. LYRICS
Milyong Pilipino sa buong mundo
Ay magdurugo ang mga puso
Aming tahanan mababalot ng lungkot
Sakaling Kapamilya’y maglaho
Mamimiss naming sa pananghalian
Si Vice Ganda, It’s Showtime barkada
Mga teleseryeng nagbibigay-kulay
Na bahagi na ng aming buhay
Dear Ate Charo di naming kakayanin
Kung Kapamiya’y mawawalay sa amin
Dahil malalim na ang pinagsamahan natin
Nakaukit na sa puso’t damdamin
Pinoy Big Brother, the Voice at ASAP,
Ang sagot sa lahat ng nangangarap
Talentong taglay na bigay ng maykapal
Ipaglaban mo abutin ang tagumpay
Nagbabagang balita ng TV patrol
Ang hatid ay serbisyo’t impormasyon
Hindi maghahari anumang kasamaan
Hanggang buhay si Cardo Dalisay
Dear Ate Charo di naming kakayanin
Kung Kapamiya’y mawawalay sa amin
Dahil malalim na ang pinagsamahan natin
Nakaukit na sa puso’t damdamin
Dear Ate Charo di naming kakayanin
Kung Kapamiya’y mawawalay sa amin
Ligayang dulot ng kapamilya sa tin
May dalang pag-asa tuwin nagniningning
