@andrssnmnn commended the team behind the beautiful song. For him, the pandemic and the losing of its franchise did not hinder their excellence when coming up with a station ID.
He wrote, “This part of ABSCBN CSID! They still have it. No shutdown and pandemic can dim the light and genius of ABSCBN CCM Team. Galing! #IkawAngLiwanagAtLigaya.”

Strength in this trying times
With the shutdown of ABS-CBN, it seems that the composers of the CSID channeled everything to bring justice to the network’s Christmas 2020 theme.
The song particularly touched everyone’s hearts. Not just that, it also showcased the strength of the network as they try to keep afloat despite the attacks made by those who hate them. Despite losing their license and have been unable to operate on free TV for months, they still made a very touching song. The resiliency of the Kapamilya network is really shown throughout the song.
The best CSID?
ABS-CBN have been known to create the most wonderful and most amazing Christmas Station IDs. Their dedication to bringing the most expressive song that is perfect for the Christmas season is unrivaled.
With the song becoming a hit just as it premiered, not to mention that it took the number one spot on Twitter minutes after it was uploaded on Youtube. Will this be the one to beat their previous CSID “Star ng Pasko”?
