“Back in 1985, together with Philip Gan, I wrote the song “Tanging Yaman.” I was then a first year Jesuit novice. Through the years I’ve witnessed the Lord bring solace and strength to people yearning for God’s assurance na ‘di tayo malilimutan at pababayaan through the song “Tanging Yaman” and others I’ve written. |
While responding to the spiritual hunger of people through liturgical music may be worthwhile, there remains other forms of hunger that need to be addressed. Hence the Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc.
We want to contribute in creating a culture of philanthropy, of Christian agape, kung saan nagbibigay ang bawat isa ayon sa abok kaya niya para sa higit na nangangailangan. And in God’s wonderful ways, He transforms the little we offer Him into abundance.
By pulling our limited resources, ordinary citizens, like you and me, can feed malnourished children, send our children to school, finance small livelihood programs, build homes and preserve our forests and seas.
Everyone can make a difference.
Everyone is called to make a difference.
Indeed, ordinary people can live extraordinary lives.
May we rediscover our humanity in nurturing the humanity of others.
Tanging Yaman Foundation – may our lives of service to those in greater need be our song of praise!”
Fr. Manoling is currently the president of Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. He is also the composer of “Hindi Kita Malilimutan,” “Sa’Yo Lamang,” “Tanging Yaman” and other contemporary Filipino Liturgical classics. |
