Filipino singer Jamie Rivera has launched the inspirational “We Give Our Yes,” the official mission song of the yearlong celebration of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the country.
“I think this is really my mission, a mission for me to be able to give people a prayer and, at the same time, they could sing with it as well,” said the singer.
The “inspirational diva” introduced “We Give Our Yes” in a remarkable performance on “ASAP Natin ‘To” last Sunday, rendering it beautifully together with The Company and singers Erik Santos, Jeremy Glinoga, Jed Madela, Jason Dy, and Nyoy Volante.
Rivera first performed the song live at the Manila Cathedral during the Archdiocese of Manila’s launch of the 500 Years of Christianity festivities on February 6.
Star Music released the “We Give Our Yes” music video directed by Frank Mamaril last week. Together with the lyric video, the song currently has more than 150,000 combined views on Star Music’s YouTube channel.
The MV, shot at the Manila Cathedral featured important Church events in the past and showed Rivera wearing an immaculate Mak Tumang creation, which was inspired by the logo of the celebration.
The motivating tune “We Give Our Yes,” originally commissioned by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, conveys the power of faith and hope during difficult times and reminds Filipinos to keep saying yes to the mission of Jesus.
Written by the multi-awarded composer Father Carlo Magno Marcelo, Jamie’s version of “We Give Our Yes” was produced by the award-winning hitmaker and ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo.
