In an episode of "Unang Hirit" for the first day of September, the legendary Jose Mari Chan made a special appearance and performed his iconic song, "Christmas In Our Hearts."
According to the veteran singer-songwriter, September 1 has been scheduled in his calendar for his yearly "Unang Hirit" guesting to mark the beginning of the Ber months.
In the same episode, he also shared his early Christmas wish.
"My wish is for unity in our country," he said.
"You know, in politics kasi, [it's always] divided and fighting, [so] we want unity so that together we can build a better future for our people," he added.
"Christmas in Our Hearts" has been a staple in the country's celebration of Christmas for decades. When put in memes, Jose once said his song makes him "forever young."
Though he's become a symbol for Christmas nearing in the Philippines, he never fails to remind us that the occasion is for the Lord.
"I am not Christmas, neither is Santa Claus. There's only one Mr. Christmas, and that's the Baby Jesus. That's the reason why we are celebrating Christmas, to celebrate his birth," he said. -- AOL, GMA Integrated News
