Music Video: A Warrior is a Child by Gary Valenciano

A Warrior is a Child


Reflection: 

     People have special love and attention with children. When they get tired and they become so busy with their daily engagements or when their world become so complicated, they talk to children. You know why? They are no fake. You ask them any question and you get their honest answer. You would even get honest answer that they don’t know the answer.

     The song was sang by Gary Valenciano entitled The Warrior is a Child. It is about the out emotions as adults through the years with the masks we put on to give in to the world’s expectations of us suppressing the child’s spirit in us.

     So as we see ourselves “winning battles left and right”… we feel success with a lot of things that we do. But we still feel emptiness at times. Something that we could not understand with success, leaving us to question its true nature. Success I guess without the feeling of fulfillment and meaning is nothing.

     “They don’t know that I come running home when I fall down”. Each of us have our own struggles we do not share to the world. Even in our age, which children may think is already mature since they call us kuya and ate, when  we get disappointed and sad, sometimes we just break down and feel the need to just cry until we think we feel better. We hide this to the world because we don’t want to be judged. Even if we don’t recognize it, there is a child in each of us, which makes the possibility to be weak sometimes equal for everyone and oh…when I am on my knees I just know in full confidence…the warrior inside me…holding on to that fight…so positive and poised with all the challenges… “He just picks me up when no one is around”. And I dust myself, clean up, put on new set of clothes, put on my new set of armor, sharpen my sword, more prepared for the next battle ... great wow.

     Children just remind me so much of just being like that of kid's heart that just cares so less about the opinions of the world and looks up to just ONE PERSON that says with truthfulness that I am His daughter with a promise that He will be with me all the way.

GAMABA & National Artists Awardees

GAMABA & National Artists Awardees Reflection:      Collectively, as a group, each one of us look up in awe to these GAMABA and National Artists Awardees. As the current millennial kabataan, we realize that our preferences and tastes are easily influenced especially by Western culture (like the U.S.) and even by our neighboring countries like South Korea and Japan. As much as they influence our choices, they may also influence the way we speak, act, dress and even the way in which we produce Art. This is exactly why these recognized GAMABA and NAAs are incredible. As the pioneers of Philippine Art, they have maintained true to their Filipino roots and culture; their Art something to marvel and to be proud of. In a way, they have prompted us to actually stop and take a deep breath and ponder at our pagiging Pinoy. What makes a Filipino a Filipino? Unwavering faith, persistence, creativity and resourcefulness are among the many Pinoy distinguishable trait...

    There are words better left unsaid; Let tears dry on their own To heal the scars caused by love and fear To face what's unclear As murky as a pond of water Decorated with white lilies ** The world is cold, chaotic and unforgiving. However, it is solely up to us whether we allow ourselves to drown in its misery or choose to be happy. To attain happiness, we must grab it and ultimately, find our inner peace. The world is sad, dull and dreary, but that does not mean you should be, too. Photographer: Glenysse Gale Maligro Model: Eddy M'hrry Ziga Propsman: Stephen Quijano
