It certainly makes a hell of a lot more sense than singing the unbearably fatuous “Jingle Bells” in a country that has never seen snow, let alone a sleigh!
ROFLMAO…
if the photo you used for the article is any indication, that *IS* a very unusual rendition of “Jingle Bells”…
Please, at least try to use a vocal score for that sort of image. That image is patently impossible to sing. (btw, it’s from a violin part)
OK, the verse fits with the melody, but the chorus? I’ve tried five times and I’m afraid I can’t get that chorus to fit the melody in any sensible manner!
If you’re going to write alternative lyrics, then you have to do it WELL!
Jingle Bells is a secular Christmas Carol which invokes the non-religious aspect of Christmas, Santa Claus and his sleigh rather and Jesus Christ. Therefore I do not believe that the Bishops will be bothered by the re-writing of this song.
Anyway I’m sure that the Catholic Church in the Philippines have bigger fish to fry such as the fact that the islands are a child sex tourist destination.

Yes, it’d be a stretch even for the young Emma Kirkby (specially the double-stopping).

it works if you think of “lesbian” as two syllables: lez-byan
You sung it in Filipino language?
Here is the Wolf of Satan, http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/12/13/internet-evangelist-glenn-beck-is-a-wolf-of-satan/ he could use some xmas spirit.

If it raises publicity then it is worth while. The Philipines need to make sure all people are protected from discrimination.
many filipinos are open-minded about lgbt issues but there still are narrow-minded homophobic freaks in the Philippines.
