I am so excited to share with you the good news about our dear “Kuya Daniel”. After the success of his Brush and Shutter exhibit for a cause here are the two PMPC Star Awards nominations for UNTV37’s Good Morning Kuya! Hooray!!!
It’s official – Kuya Daniel Razon and his hit morning show Good Morning, Kuya! receive much-deserved nomination slots in the prestigious 23rd Star Awards for Television.

And to make us all happier… here’s the Manila Bulletin’s report on Kuya Daniel’s Gold Record Album…
Multi-talented TV personality Daniel Razon is jubilant that his latest album “Isang Araw Lang” has gone gold with about 12 thousand copies immediately put out by request. This he told the Manila Bulletin during a recent ribbon cutting to open a new business centre under his care called BMPI.
His 10-song album containing 90% covers is actually led by the original title track that also serves as theme song to a film project of the same name. However, the brilliant cover choices from the past decade have helped ensured its power being easy-to-like.
His gentlemanly voice may not be considered that exceptional but the sincerity of the singing and the great melodies that carried it along seized a strength good enough to produce good sales.

A sincere public servant with a good heart blessed with many talents, we wish Kuya Daniel all the best!
Go Kuya Daniel! :)

Fans of Kuya Daniel
Update from Mr. Public Service’s Official Site -
Mindless of the bad weather, art enthusiasts stormed the Tala Gallery to support the latest art exhibit for a cause of Kuya Daniel Razon.
Titled Brush and Shutter, the exhibit showcased Kuya Daniel’s photos rendered on canvas by Tala Gallery artists, from September 28-30, 2009. The event is for the benefit of the soon-to-rise La Verdad Christian College (LVCC) in Metro Manila—the first college in the Philippines to offer Mass Communications and Nursing for free to poor but deserving scholars.
Fresh from relief operations in areas devastated by Typhoon Ketsana, Kuya Daniel arrived ten minutes early for his speech and thanked everyone who came to the exhibit.
“Thank you so much. With God’s help we were able to come up with this kind of exhibit. And I hope that all the proceeds of this project will also go to a lot of good things. Thanks as well to the artists. I do not know all of them personally, but God knows all of you. I know that God will continue touching your hearts in doing good for other people and sharing your God-given talent for those in need,” Kuya Daniel said in his opening speech.

Realizing this, Kuya Daniel Razon, for his part, encourages his fans and supporters to support a benefit basketball game as part of his public service advocacy.
Celebrity players from Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) join hands to support one of Kuya Daniel Razon’s Isang Araw Lang projects for graduating yet deserving high school students.
Manila Bulletin’s report states –
Respected broadcast journalist Daniel Razon spearheaded a benefit basketball game at the Cuneta Astrodome on Sept. 25.
The pre-conference game was part of the “Isang Araw Lang” campaign. Alaska Aces, the Coca-Cola Tigers, and several PBA All-Star household names including Asi Taulava played.
The Aces trumped the Tigers, 100-97. Prior to this, UNTV 37’s Barangay Hoopsters showcased their skills in an exhibition match against select organization leaders.
Razon, who is currently promoting his film “Isang Araw Lang,” received a standing ovation upon rendering a speech and in awarding the teams with plaques of appreciation.
“We thank the Lord for giving us another opportunity to be instruments of goodwill to our fellowmen who need help, and we hope that you will continue supporting the ‘Isang Araw Lang’ campaign,’ said Razon.

Despite Typhoon Ondoy’s impending storm threat, basketball fans queued up in Cuneta Astrodome’s ticket terminals September 25, making it a red-letter day both for sports and public service history.
As part of his continuous ‘Isang Araw Lang’ campaign, Mr. Public Service Kuya Daniel Razon revved up a one-of-a-kind basketball game for both the young and the not-so-young. Non-basketball fans became instant aficionados after experiencing the intense courtside action inside Pasay’s famed dome.
The Alaska Aces and the Coca-Cola Tigers hooped the night with one heart-pounding game featuring PBA All-Star household names, who held their audience’s breath in a play-for-a-cause for free college education. Coaches Tim Cone and Kenneth Duremdes lashed out their styles as both teams batted it out in the fun-filled PBA pre-conference game.

Daily Tribune reports,
The humanitarian project “Isang Araw Lang” of UNTV host Daniel Razon has found a new ally in the Philippine Basketball Association or PBA, which pledged funding through an invitational basketball exhibition game featuring the Coca-Cola Tigers and the Alaska Aces team on Sept. 25 at the historic Cuneta Astrodome.
The game included exciting matches between young amateur basketball teams (Barangay Hoopsters) and youth players handpicked from the best players of Metro Manila. As the title connotes supporting education, funds will help sustain the free college education project currently launched by the Kamanggagawa Foundation Inc. or KFI, which is receiving support through Razon’s “Isang Araw Lang” project, which emphasizes on helping fellowmen by contributing to the development of Philippine society one day at a time.

“Don’t be just a spectator. A fan who watches a basketball game feels the need of his team to win the game, only if his heart is really into it.” – Kuya Daniel Razon
Let us support every project that Mr. Public Service spearheads!
A certain poem written for the Kuya ng Bayan touched my heart.
Kuya Daniel is more than a public servant, broadcaster, teacher, musician and photographer. He is a humble servant of God as described in this lovely poem by a blogger/fiction writer, Pol Arellano.
I remember Kuya Daniel’s reminder to use our God-given talents by serving other people for the Glory of God. And that is exactly what he is doing. In fact, he does everything he could and even more to extend genuine service to all–so genuine that it touches the depths of the human soul, depths that can only be reached by the poet in each of us.
He’s meek, this man; the man who could
And all who walk like he be should
He captures light and traps each beam
And puts the Lord on prime esteem
Good odes he keeps in heart and mind
And teachings of the One most kind
Service, he draws on talent; flair
For those who need the utmost care
How meek! This man, this man who could
And be like he I pray I would
With works of good he mutely plods
He trusts the truth – that praise is God’s

A dinner night to remember, a blogger recalls Kuya Daniel’s inspiring thoughts, songs
Kuya Daniel touches people’s lives.
We can learn wisdom from his actions. It is no wonder why our fellow fan and blogger Rose Cemanes shared with us her close encounter with our very own Mr. Public Service, Kuya Daniel Razon.
A Night to Remember with Daniel Razon
by Cemanes
Though more than two years has passed, that night with Mr. Daniel Razon remains fresh in my mind. When we were invited to attend, “An Intimate Dinner Concert with Mr. Public Service, Daniel Razon”, at the Edsa Shangrila Hotel, my husband and I did not hesitate to attend and invite our friends to the said concert. We were so much excited as the D-day was approaching not even thinking how much will we be spending to pay the tickets, since at that time we were short of funds, yet, we desire to invite friends to go with us so they could witness too, the man that we admire. Just the same, we were not hindered by it instead we looked for some other means to be able to glance even just from a distance, this handsome man with a big heart for the poor.
He may not have known us personally, our curiosity stirs us to know more about his person and how come at his young age, he has accomplished many things and helped many people. A true achiever indeed, he has all the admirable traits, one would wish for to have, peculiar as he is, as compared to the youth or young achievers of today, not to mention his handsome and smart looks but foremost his being a Godly person not only in words but in deeds. The most important thing for us on that inspiring night was that, we want to see him up-close and personal and to support him on his projects of splendid and noble purpose. We want to be part of his charity works, in our own little way, to unburden him even for just a minute slice of it.
In my continued research and follow-up of his life and works, Mr. Public Service as he is being called by many, Daniel S. Razon, is the Vice-Presiding Minister of the Members Church of God International (MCGI) popularly known in the Philippines as “Ang Dating Daan (ADD)” or in English, The Old Path (TOP), with his mentor and Presiding Minister, Bro. Eliseo F. Soriano, the phenomenal but most persecuted preacher in the Philippines but who is now overwhelmingly being acclaimed and praised for his unmatched wits and knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, the Bible. Bro. Eli, as he is being called by his brethren, molded Daniel’s character since his childhood.

We are very proud and thankful to have someone possessing a kind and loving character that we can look up to.
What is more encouraging for each one of us to do good? Kuya Daniel imparts to the people what Bro. Eli has taught him,
“There is no good work that will result to evil.”
Bro. Eli Soriano’s upbringing to Kuya Daniel is totally admirable.
To Cemanes,
Thanks for sharing us something wonderful!

Have you heard the latest news about Kuya Daniel? Allow me to spill the beans. Kuya Daniel Razon’s photographs, once again, will be unveiled to the public, but this time with a different beat!
A group comprised of some of the most energetic and talented Filipino painters features Kuya Daniel’s photographs as a realist work of art that will be staged in a one-of-a-kind event, Brush and Shutter: Photography and Painting Exhibit. Opening on September 28-30, the exhibit will be mounted at the Tala Gallery, located in 100 Scout De Guia St., Kamuning, Quezon City, Philippines.
This union of photography and painting has one great humanitarian mission – a college scholarship program for every deserving student. When it says free college, this means: free books, uniform and food! Truly, this makes Brush and Shutter a unique exhibit worth going for.
Fans of Kuya Daniel now have something to look forward to on the 28th of September and experience a visual and humanitarian effort beyond the collaboration of two of the most powerful visual art forms: photography and painting.
See you there!
Watch AVP of the exhibit here:
Brush and Shutter: Photography and Painting Exhibit is produced by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International.
Blogger compares Chief Justice Puno’s Moral Force Movement and the “Isang Araw Lang” campaign
“Walk your talk.”
That is what Kuya Daniel Razon’s Isang Araw Lang campaign tries to impart to his fellowmen. And his advocacy is now being compared with an advocacy launched recently that aims for the moral transformation of the citizens. Chief Justice Reynato Puno was the proponent of this under his flagship, Moral Force Movement.
Here is a blog post from Journeyist, one of the most persistent socio-political bloggers around, who compares and finds similarities and differences between the two and ends up liking Isang Araw Lang campaign for its honesty and humility.
Here are few excerpts from -
The Moral Force Movement launched last Monday by Chief Justice Reynato Puno has caught the attention of the Filipino public hungering for moral renewal.
Highlighting the Moral Force Movement’s avowed mission, Puno called on the people “not to elect anyone who bribes, cheats, lies nor [to tolerate] anyone who does.” Volunteerism was his battle cry and thus enjoined every concerned citizen to “..not just stay neutral in this fight, for the surest way to lose a fight against evil is through the conspiracy of silence.”
…
What struck me as somewhat fascinating is that another movement, albeit in the form of a media campaign, has already been enabling people with a simple formula for moral recovery, one that Puno could adapt or better yet coalesce with. The campaign is called Isang Araw Lang (Just for a Day). Launched several months ago by veteran TV personality and Mr. Public Service Daniel Razon, Isang Araw Lang is proving to be not just realistic, and therefore sustainable, campaign but one that is authentic, and therefore has potential for engendering enduring changes.

Thanks for that wonderful blog post!
Again, this reminds us of a quote from Kuya Daniel Razon – “Political position is not a prerequisite for an individual to fulfill his good desire to do public service.”
Only six months after its official launch to the public, the bold call, Isang Araw Lang by Kuya Daniel Razon is now taking on different medium to reach out to the public. First, there was the feel-good, inspiring movie, now screening in major parts of the U.S., Asia and Middle East.
PARI presents to Kuya Daniel Razon his Gold Record for Isang Araw Lang
Second, the Isang Araw Lang: The Album became a ground breaking gold record upon the eve of its launch! The movie’s official soundtrack, Isang Araw Lang outshines the albums of other popular Pinoy recording artists, and made history for earning Gold Record in just one day.
The record-smashing album, Isang Araw Lang by Kuya Daniel nears Platinum Record status.
For the record, Kuya Daniel, although a naturally good singer by heart, is a newcomer in the recording industry. He bagged the Most Popular Male Recording Artist of the 21st Awit Awards for his debut album, All My Life.
Because we love Kuya Daniel’s call so much, our feisty eyes have scooped these news and blog post about Kuya Daniel’s feats for his ingenious indie-film and gold record album, Isang Araw Lang.
Here is the post from the Daily Tribune penned by Edsel-Thadeus O. Lorete:
Celebrity morning talk show host Daniel Razon marks on another milestone with Isang Araw Lang, his third album, a project that followed the resounding success of his maiden outing, In My Eyes, which went platinum less than a month from its commercial release.
“This album, in particular the theme song to my indie movie of the same title, is more than just recorded songs. I take it as a form of selfless volunteerism to motivate people to do good even for just one day of the year,” said Razon, who declined invitations for him to run for public office again.
Isang Araw Lang, whose sale proceeds will fund charitable missions Razon put up and extended to media practitioners and their relatives, compiles Daniel’s favorites, including his mellow versions of “Hold On,” “So Many Questions,” “Your Love,” “Habang May Buhay,” “With A Smile,” “‘Wag Na Lang Kaya” and “Tag-Ulan.”

Here is another news penned by Marge Navaro (Magandang Balita, page 2, 1st wk Sept 2009):
Record breaking ang Isang Araw Lang and bagong album ni Mr. Public Service Daniel Razon dahil sa tinamo nitong gold record award mula sa Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) sa isang araw lang na sales!
Ginanap ang parangal sa Araneta Coliseum kasabay ng Youth Convention and Concert o YConCon The Sequel na inorganisa ng grupong Bible Readers Society International (BREAD) at Breakthrough and Milestone Productions International (BMPI) noong ika-17 ng Agosto.
Bagamat baguhan sa recording arena si Kuya Daniel, hindi naman pahuhuli ang boses nito sa mga naglalakihang pangalan sa industria ng musika sa bansa. Ang “Isang Araw Lang” album ay ikalawa na sa recording albums ni Kuya Daniel kasunod ng All My Life na inilunsad kasabay ng Test Broadcast 2 Concert noong Enero.
Isa si Kuya Daniel sa mga inspirasyon ng BREAD, isang grupo ng mga kabataan na nagsusulong ng kamalayan, kaalaman at pagbabasa ng Banal na Kasulatan sa mga pamantasan at unibersidad, hindi lamang sa buong Pilipinas kundi maging sa buong mundo. Laging nakasuporta naman ang samahang Ang Dating Daan sa pangunguna ni Bro. Eli Soriano sa lahat ng mga proyekto lalo na ang pag-abot sa mga kabataang nangangailangan sa layuning mahubog ang mga ito na maging mabuting mamamayan ng bansa.
Katunayang ang proceeds ng Isang Araw Lang album at YconCon The Sequel ay para sa libreng College scholarship ng La Verdad Christian College sa panukala at pagtataguyod nina Kuya Daniel Razon at Bro. Eli Soriano.
Napuno ng matinding sigawan at hiyawan ang the Big Dome at kitang kita ang sigla at liksi ng mga kabataan ng makijamming sa paborito nilang banda gaya ng Shamrock, Itchyworms, SugarFree, at Pupil. Naging mainit din ang pagtanggap ng mga ka-Bread sa Philippine Soul Princess na si Nina. Naroon din ang singer composer na si Krist Melecio at dating guitarist ng bandang The Dawn na si Kiko Reyes. Hindi nagpahuli sa biritan ang comeback artist na si Hammilan Pavoreal na ka-duet si Ms. Connie Yanga.
Umogong ang hiyawan ng lumabas ang pinakahihintay ng lahat, si Kuya Daniel na inawit ang carrier single na “Isang Araw Lang” na siya ring titulo ng album. Ito ang theme song ng first ever movie ng BMPI productions sa direksyon mismo ni Kuya Daniel na pumatok din sa manonood bagaman sa exlcusive showing lamang ito ipinalabas.
Bukod sa libreng medical at dental services, libreng sakay sa bus, MRT, libreng ticket sa eroplano, at libreng tuluyan sa pamamagitan ng transient home, ang libreng pag-aaral sa kolehiyo ang pinakabagong serbisyo publiko ng BMPI-UNTV, Kamanggagawa Foundation at BREAD Society International, na kauna-unahan sa buong bansa.
Ito ay bahagi pa rin ng kampanya ni Mr. Public Service Kuya Daniel Razon na nagsasabing “Ang paggawa ng mabuti at nagsisimula sa “Isang Araw Lang”.
Here is a blog post by a blogger named Feron:
It was a jam packed to the rafter as supporters of Kuya Daniel and the members of the Bible Readers (BREAD) Society International joined him on his project of giving “Free College Education” to the less fortunate but deserving youth of our society.
Other performers of the concert includes the BMPI Dancers, Krist Melencio with a series of medley, Play Band did Oh Kabataan and Africa, Crumbs rendered T.L. Ako Sa ‘Yo and Iisang Bangka with Kiko Reyes (formerly of The Dawn), Shamrock sang Alipin and Makita kang Muli, while Milan with Black or White of MJ then I just Can’t Stop Loving You with Connie Yanga. Itchyworms with Penge Naman Ako Niyan and their version of APO’s Awit ng Barkada.
