Philippines Deluxe Christmas Album

The re-release of Libera's Christmas Album with the extra track of "Himig ng Pasko" is now available in the Philippines! It's like their Deluxe edition because it's only available in the Philippines. Marj from the Pines shared a picture of it. She bought her CD at TriNoma Mall in Quezon City, Manila. It has all the picture/lyric cards in it, but still no silver Christmas ornament.

Libera performed "Himig ng Pasko" as a second encore at the PICC Manila concert last month. Here's the official video for it. If you don't have this CD, you'll want to get it! Lucky, lucky Philippines!

Libera Official Philippines Photos

One of my favorite times is here! Libera posted their pictures from the Philippines tour! We always get to see things we'd never see unless they shared their pictures with us. And they're always so fun and funny! Thank you, Libera! :D

OK. These are in time order, but I'm gonna try to make good guesses as to what they are.

Singing "Carol of the Bells" on ASAP Rocks TV show.

Manila Meet & Greet at the Block. We saw this in their blog posting.

Matthew R-A signing under his picture at the Block.

Who got to keep that huge poster? And where did they display it? 

Ralph inviting everyone to the Manila concert.

Big dinner at the AIM (Asian Institute of Management)

with really cool Filipino music and dancing.

Children's Hour donation of the Libera Playground.

At the Children's Hour donation press conference.

Oh my word, Alex, Barney and Matthew! We call this granny-bowling!

Rolling the ball between your legs. lol.

Is this how Liam got his 5 strikes in a row?!! :D

Cute Isaac!

Concert day photo outside AIM in Manila. Love all the little guys lined up

 on the grass and the big boys standing behind. Is Jonathan taking the picture?

Cool rehearsal pic showing how they project image onto big screens. I think. hehe

It's Moose! Even HE has to rehearse.

Reflection in the piano. And we can see one

of the images used on the big screens.

I'm guessing this is "How Shall I Sing That Majesty" cause Eoghan

and Stefan are in the center. Love the stars and spot lights!

Jonathan Ormston & Steven Geraghty. And moody fog. :)

Ready for their flight from Manila to Cebu!

Zest Air should just use Libera for their advertising!

LOVE this picture! Not everyone gets a picture like THIS when they travel!

 The boys with their pilot and flight attendant!

Brighter copy of blog pic when they arrived in Cebu! Cebu!

Aw! This looks like it's maybe Josh's birthday party.

All the boys are gathered around him, and Cassius is making him smile. 

The picture is cropped, but another boy has his arm around him.

Ah, what a way to spend your birthday...at the Shangri-La. :)

Love this pic of Daniel and Matthew. One of many meals at the Shangri-La?

Sammy making a funny/cute face.

Sunset at the infinity pool at the Shangri-La. Aaaah.

Ha! Everyone wants to go in the water but is trying not to get their shorts wet.

And why is everyone's hood up? I think we need some sunscreen.

Some of them might get a sunburn, but others will just tan. 

Isn't that what you want to get on vacation? lol.

Love this! First glimpse of the custom-made crocs! :D

It's funny how some of them don't even bother trying not to get wet.

And look how perfectly Ciaran rolled up his shorts! Impressive!

Oh my word it's a chocolate fountain! My aunt has one of these!

Is that candied pineapple or mango on a stick?

The nicest picture of Stefan! :D

 Awwww. Cute Ciaran & Michael! Awwww.

Rehearsing for the Cebu concert.

2 cute Matthews! :)

Glad Libera had such a great time on their Philippines tour! 

"Himig Ng Pasko" Concert Video & Lyrics

Libera just released the video of their live, Manila concert performance of "Himig Ng Pasko!" This was a surprise second encore. They sing in Tagalog, and you can hear the audience's appreciative reaction to the singing of a traditional, Filipino Christmas carol. Ralph does a great job with the solo, and Isaac is so cute singing the final "and a happy Christmas to you!" Awwww. :D

Thank you to Michael for the video link and to Nikki for link to tagaloglang.com. :)

Manila Concert M&G Video by Yuki

Our friend, Yuki from Japan, takes the best videos. This one is from the Manila concert and Meet & Greet afterwards. She was towards the end of the line, so the personnel keep rushing her. lol But the boys are so cute and smile and talk to her. Thank you for sharing it with us, Yuki! :D

Cebu Concert Pics from Jimmy & Yumiko

Yumiko and Jimmy from Japan got to go to Libera's Cebu concert. Their plane was delayed in Manila, so they arrived only 45 minutes before the concert! But thankfully they had front-row seats! :D Yumiko chose these pictures to share with all of us. Thank you, Yumiko! These are so great! :) If you copy, please credit Jimmy from Japan.
