Philippines 2000
Gary Granada · Other Songs - Gary Granada
Manalig ka sa gobyerno
Brown out, demolition, basura at inflation
Tiyaga at konti pang sakripisyo
Magtiis sa sahod, ilang taon na lang
Eto na ang NIChood, isang igkas na lang
Welcome to the future: Philippines 2000
Kailangang makautang, kailangan ng kuryente
Kailangan ng emergency powers
Outward-looking na agribusiness
World-class quality toys, handicrafts at cutflowers
Yes to land conversion, yes to strike ban
Yes to crop conversion, dollar earning yan
Welcome to the furure: Philippines 2000
Pagod na pagod na ang bayan
Hingal na hingal na ang bayan
Palaklakin ng lipovitan
Sundin natin ang utos ng dayo
Itaas na ang presyo ng krudo't langis
Kung ayaw ng tao, bawasan ang serbisyo
At dagdagan pa ang buwis
Industrialization ang pupuntahan
Militarization ang tanging daan
Welcome to the future: Philippines 2000
Hilunghilo na ang bayan
Litunglito na ang bayan
Kamusta kaya ang kilusan
Businesspeople, overseas workers
Media at entertainers, NGO at Simbahan
Peace talks, coop, nata de condom
Levy, lotto, remittance, basta pagkakitaan
Salubungin natin ang kaunlaran
Kahit buhay natin ang kabayaran
Welcome to the future: Philippines 2000
Salubungin natin ang kaunlaran
Kahit buhay natin ang kabayaran
Welcome to the future: Philippines 2000
