INSPIRED by his profession as teacher of Mapulang Lupa National High School in Valenzuela City, Oliver Narag wrote a song about unity and volunteerism amid the Covid19 pandemic.

Narag noted the dedication of the Department of Education, schools, and local government units to continue education in the country despite the threat of the virus.

Also a composer, Narag collaborated with friends Genesis Joy Pira, a teacher of Gen T. De Leon National High School, and Donald Samson, a former teacher and now a professional singer, in recording the song “Anuman ang Sitwasyon, Tuloy ang Edukasyon.”

“As a teacher and a songwriter, nagkaroon ako ng idea na sumulat ng kanta dahil sa kinakaharap natin na pandemya. Gusto kong makatulong sa aking mga kapwa guro at sa ating kagawaran. Gusto kong makapag-bigay ng lakas ng loob sa bawat isa sa pamamagitan ng awit. Isang awit na nagpapakita ng pagkakaisa, pagtutulungan, pag-ibig sa bawat isa at higit sa lahat, bayanihan,” Narag said.

The song became viral on both Facebook and YouTube, paving the way to make it the official song of the Schools Division Office-Valenzuela in its simulation and promotional video in the implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan.

Included in the lyrics of the song are letters which reflect the dedication of the teachers, and teamwork to fulfill the mission for the youth.
