FAMILY IS FOREVER: THE 2019 ABS-CBN CHRISTMAS STATION ID
What Christmas songs lift spirits in the darkest times?
One of such songs is “Bro, Ikaw Ang Star ng Pasko” which was launched in the aftermath of typhoon Ondoy in 2009. On its 10th anniversary and the 65th year of ABS-CBN, the Kapamilya network brings you a station ID that puts together their past Christmas songs under the banner “Family is Forever”. Through the years, these songs have been embraced and sung all over the world like “Thank You for the Love”, “Just Love Ngayong Pasko” and “Family is Love.” This year’s Christmas Station ID is a special homage to these timeless songs. The new anthem is a medley of past songs performed by The Voice Kids finalists and coaches Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo and Lea Salonga. Another first, it also features recordings of real Kapamilyas from different sectors singing live.
Family is Forever
Forever may seem like an impossible idea but for ABS-CBN, it can also be a continuing journey filled with love and meaning if spent with the most important people in our lives – our families. That is why this year’s Christmas Station ID is a special reunion of various Kapamilyas that have touched the lives of people. Together with hundreds of artists and employees, ABS-CBN pays tribute to --- the Noblezeda “Keribels” family from Iloilo who always has a happy disposition amidst life’s obstacles; Marielle Hernali, a Typhoon Yolanda survivor from Tacloban who graduated as valedictorian in her class; Arnel Aba, a one-legged swimmer who won a gold medal in the ASEAN ParaGames; Jan Aure Gascon, the student from Abra with a simple dream of owning a pencil; El Gamma Penumbra, the shadow dancing group from Batangas who won the top prize in Asia’s Got Talent; and the Garcia brothers from Pangasinan whose love for their country as soldiers is as strong as their love for their family.
As one family, the ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID 2019 was created by ABS-CBN Creative Communications Management Division headed by Robert Labayen, Johnny De Los Santos and Patrick de Leon, and COO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes. Directed by Paolo Ramos with second unit directors Lorenz Roi Morales and Peewee Azarcon Gonzales
Lyrics written by Robert Labayen and Lloyd Oliver Corpuz and brought to life by composers Thyro Alfaro and Lloyd Oliver Corpuz.

#FamilyIsForever, mga Kapamilya!
Road to 1M na tayo mga Kapamilya! #FamilyIsForever
"Pinag isa tayo ng Diyos at Pag-ibig. May iisang puso at iisang tinig." That line never fails to make me cry. 😭😭😭
There really is something with Abs-Cbn CSIDs. It makes every Filipino's Cristmas much more alive. Their CSIDs feels like home. 🙁❤
Oh my god.. Halos lahat kabisado ko lyrics.. I'm crying😭 sana bumalik na ABS-CBN
Watching this Station ID you’ll realize na talagang pinaninindigan ng ABS CBN ang motto nila na “In the service of the Filipino worldwide”. It’s really about the Filipino people❤️💚💙 sakto lahat ng lyrics... mula CSID 2009-2019
“BALIKAN NATIN ANG ILANG ALAALA SA 65 NA TAON NATING PAGSASAMA” This is the last CSID ng ABSCBN before sila pagkaitan ng franchise. Tapos pinagsama-sama pa ‘yung previous CSID’s. Para ba’ng nagpapahiwatig na possible na silang mawala sa ere.😢 But just like the line from this song “Always there for each other, kinaya natin together.” Babangon muli tayo, mga Kapamilya.❤️💚💙
Binalikan ko ulit to 🥺 Dahil sa nangyayare sa Pilipinas, habang pinapanood ko naiyak nako. 🥺😭😭 Can’t help but to cryyy. Grabe lang. Dami na natin pagsubok na pinagdaanan mga kababayan, pero heto pa rin tayo nagiging matapang. Laban lang Pilipinas kong mahal 🇵🇭🤍
Nakakamiss yung mga Panahon na to, Yung Kumpleto pa ang mga Kapamilya artists ❤️❤️❤️ 😭
3 months before 2021 ends.I played this many times to remember old days. Nostalgia is hitting me right now. I hope that ABS-CBN comeback into the air.
Mapapa throwback tlga tayo dito sa kanta nato, lapit na mag Christmas, makaka raos din tayong lahat❤🙏
I really appreciate the callback for the 'Star Ng Pasko', also with Zaijan all grown up, referencing the ten years of the iconic Christmas song
Solid abs cbn lang ang mag lilike nito😊😊 ⬇️
Amidst the world's situation, I can still feel the essence of Christmas by streaming all the ABS CBN's CSID. ❤
Those who hates ABS-CBN i know you were listening to this beautiful Christmas song and it is for you Because you have faith from God that He wants you to never get hatred for other people. Please Be polite and have forgiveness... I love ABS-CBN because they lean me a hand when i was down and restored my happiness. Kapamilya is always in my heart. ❤💚💙🤍
Can't believe that I've memorized all of all the lyrics from different years without me even trying and I can sing along. Iba talaga pag abs-cbn
Everytime I hear this song. Di ko mapigilang maluha. Tagos sa puso talaga.
This made me cry.people still hanging on, still believing in goodness and love despite the test of time.thank u ABS CBN.
Isang like naman sa mga umiyak tulad ko 😭💖 Forever... Forever... Family is FOREVER 💖😘
No matter what happened ABS CBN is da best tv station of all time.. Hihintayin po namin ang pagbabalik nyo kapamilya 😇 GOD is with us ☝ Pagsubok lang lahat tu. Merry christmas everyone 🎄 Stay safe always 💖 #KapamilyaForever #FamilyIsForever
