Here is the video, including an excerpt of the project’s description from its YouTube post.

On May 10, 2010, exercise your right to vote. And remember to vote wisely.

NY Handog Project 2010 aims to bring together a group of Fil-Am artists in the NY/NJ area in performing a re-arranged version of the song HANDOG NG PILIPINO SA MUNDO, written by Mr. Jim Paredes and originally performed by 15 OPM Artists for the 1986 People Power Edsa Revolution. Recently it was also performed by the APO and other professional singers at Madame Cory Aquino’s funeral last year.

As the original was used to inspire a movement and document a momentous event in our country’s history, this project aims to document how a group of NY artists came together in the name of music to show our countrymen back home that even though we’re way over here and they over there, WE STILL CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR NATIVE COUNTRY. And that with the upcoming elections on May 10, 2010, the song’s message of solidarity and coming together and standing up as a group to make a difference, is still as relevant today as it was back then.
