According to Sotto, he is offering the song to all Filipinos, specially frontliners – all working hand-in-hand in the nation’s fight to beat the COVID-19 outbreak.

“Para sa aming mga frontliners at kababayan na nakikiisa para mapagtagumpayan ang krisis na ating hinaharap. Mabuhay po kayo. Mabuhay ang Pilipino!” read Sotto’s caption.(For our frontliners and fellowmen who are one in winning over the crisis we are facing. Long-live to all. Long-live, Filipinos!)

Aside from giving hope, an excerpt from the song, which was performed by musical group Broadway Boys, also encourages the public to find comfort in God during this challenging time.

“Mayroong ibang nalumubay. May nag-iisa at mayroon ding kapos sa pag-asa. Lumapit ka sa Lumikha. Nabibilang niyang lahat pati ating mga luha. Sa Diyos kanyang tanging awa.”

(There are people experiencing sorrow. Some are alone and some are losing hope. Come closer to the Creator. He sees all our tears. The Lord will have mercy.)
