Papa Obet Presents Third Christmas Single “Paano ang Pasko”

It seems that Papa Obet of Barangay LS 97.1 is on his way to bring a new wave of Christmas songs as he releases a new holiday single “Paano ang Pasko,” under GMA Music. Launched last November 10, this is his third Christmas song he released yet takes on an emotional theme with sadness of being away from loved ones.

Papa Obet previous Christmas songs includes "Una Kong Pasko" in 2017 and then followed by "Regalo" in 2022. This new theme for Christmas may not be the usual joyful songs but seeks to relate with the people who experience longing as some could not celebrate the holidays with friends and family.

“It’s for people who need companionship this Christmas, especially those in faraway places. The song conveys the difficulty of celebrating Christmas without our loved ones. It’s the time of the year when we’re supposed to be surrounded by the people we love, but for some people, that’s not the case,” said Papa Obet. 

“I believe that sad songs have a stronger impact. Music is more powerful when it evokes emotions. That’s why I created a sad Christmas song. For me, every time I hear a Christmas song. I am transported back to my childhood, when I was a kid with no problems, just receiving gifts, eating, and having fun. Christmas is so magical, I want to feel and relive that feeling. And that longing feeling is also what they will hear in this song,” shares Papa Obet.

Along with this new single, Papa Obet is also nominated as Favorite Radio DJ at the 9th RAWR Awards along with the popular Radio DJs in the country. Voting can be done on LionHearTV and KTX.
