Bakasyon by Carousel Casualties
I’d like to dedicate Bakasyon by Carousel Casualties, a song I discovered during my time with FOCUS last year. Every time I hear it, I’m filled with nostalgia, joy, and warmth. It reminds me of the special moments I shared with the club and the feeling of being part of something meaningful.
Just like the title, which means “vacation,” FOCUS feels like coming home. It’s a place where I feel understood, loved, and truly part of a community. Bakasyon captures that comforting feeling, a break from the everyday, and reflects how FOCUS has helped me reconnect with Filipino culture, values, and friendships.

Courage by Ben&Ben
I dedicate Courage by Ben&Ben to FOCUS, because it reminds its listeners that all their hardships and challenges will be worth it in the end, and that they should continue to push forward with courage.
Everyone in FOCUS, whether the executive team, the general members, the alumni, and all the people that we meet, comes from different walks of life. We all go through different experiences and fight our own battles that not everyone may know about. This song is a warm hug and reassurance that you aren’t alone, and that you don’t have to carry all the weight by yourself. It’s a reminder that we’re all here for each other no matter what, and that we’ll all rise above every challenge life has to offer together.

Dahan-Dahan by Lola Amour
I dedicate this song to FOCUS because, despite the challenges of life and the club, the lyrics encourage me to take things “slowly by slowly.” Ironically, towards the end of the song, the singer mentions one of FOCUS’ fav sayings “isang bagsakan” (when one falls, everyone fall) and I’m happy that I made friends at FOCUS that’ll fall into tough times with me…

Huwag Kang Matakot by Eraserheads
If I were to dedicate a song to FOCUS, it would be Eraserheads’ Huwag Kang Matakot, whose title directly translates to “don’t be afraid.” The song repeatedly uses this line to give assurance that everything will be alright — no matter how difficult, scary, or uncertain one moment or the future may seem.
In FOCUS, we have a saying that goes: “isang bagsak” or “when one falls, everyone falls,” in English. The second you join the team, they automatically hold your hand, guiding you through all the uncertainty and fear heading your way. Each year, we try to reach beyond our comfort zones, traversing challenges we have no idea how to overcome. Yet, we do anyway — together, while holding each other’s hands. So, I dedicate this song to FOCUS, that we may continue to reach higher horizons and stay close-knit along the way.

Saranggola by Ben&Ben
The title directly translates to “kite.” This song is about growing up, friendships, and having to adapt to change. Friendships aren’t immune to change, but the relationships and connections that we’ll build in this community are something that I, and other FOCUS members, will carry not only for the rest of our university years, but for the rest of our lives.
In FOCUS, changes can happen all the time. From having to move on with a new team each academic year, we learn to cherish all the friendships we’ve made and how we are always ready to embrace both current and new members of this community. According to Ben&Ben, this song is a “barkada” anthem, which means a friendship song. When you’re in FOCUS, you will always hear a tune of friendship, and you’re always welcome to sing along.

Habang Buhay by Zack Tabudlo
For me, it's a song about unconditional love for our culture. It's the essence of a nation of hardworking, joy-filled people who keep showing up despite everyday challenges. It's our laughter after long days, our bayanihan on campus.
