THE MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS ALBUM
Sing the Songs. Find your Voice. Change the World. It's your Choice

Manila, Philippines - 27 Filipino artists worked together to promote the United Nations (UN) in the Philippines eight-point Millennium Development Goals (MDG) through music.The album is entitled 'Tayo Tayo Rin Sa 2015 - Sing the Songs. Find your Voice. Change the World. It's your Choice'.The strategy of using pop culture to get its message across is part of the agency’s continued efforts to bring awareness about the MDGs to the grassroots level. The Anthem's message is simple, namely that "we should all work together to achieve the MDGs."

The Millennium Campaign informs, inspires and encourages people’s involvement and action for the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. An initiative of the United Nations, the Campaign supports citizens’ efforts to hold their government to account for the Millennium promise.

The Campaign was launched in October 2002, two years after 189 government leaders from the highest political level of almost every country in the world agreed at the September 2000 Millennium Summit to a set of eight time-bound targets that, when achieved, will end extreme poverty across the planet.

Working at both the national and international levels, the ambition of the Campaign is to inspire a global movement to achieve the Goals and eradicate extreme poverty by 2015. Our premise is simple: we are the first generation that can put an end to extreme poverty around the world, and we refuse to miss this opportunity!

Tayo-Tayo Rin Sa 2015 contains nine tracks: "For A Better Life," performed by Gary Valenciano; "Bata Pa Ako," by Julia Abueva; "Babae," by Lea Salonga; "Kung Sana’y," by Sharon Cuneta; "Sa Sinapupunan Ko," by Ai Ai Delas Alas and the Apo Hiking Society; "Kalinga," by Kitchie Nadal; "Tuloy Tuloy," by Spy, featuring Papa Dom; and "Tayo Tayo Rin," the MDG anthem, which also comes in an English version.

To help disseminate the songs' messages, UN is distributing to the public for free 5,000 compact discs of the album. Since the album is not for sale, UN officials also said these original copies can be freely recopied for distribution and for public airing.

We are the first generation that can end poverty, and we should refuse to miss this opportunity.
