Bong Ramilo sings Hanap Ko, a "song of reflection" that he composed. .

Christian (Bong) Ramilo is a community cultural development worker who has used music, photography, theatre, poetry, and other ways of working with various groups of people to create an awareness of social issues. He would like to be known as a cultural activist (or organiser-agitator) because he is committed to actions that impact on culture in ways that benefit and are determined by oppressed communities. He is very interested in cyber-activism or resistant media, in how the internet/cyberspace can be an arena for cultural action. Often, however, he would just like to write good songs about life, love, and struggle. He was born in the Philippines and was active poltically and artistically against the Marcos dictatorship, had to migrate hurriedly to Australia in 1986 because of his political-artistic activities. Bong has continued similar activities since then. Bong now lives in Darwin.
Bong is the Executive Officer for Darwin Community Arts (DCA) and has had many previous roles in the Arts field. He assisted with the writing and production of Gary Lee’s play ‘Keep Him My Heart’ in 1993, the event took him to Darwin. The play also was the catalyst for the revival of the Darwin Rondalla/Filipino Stringband tradition in Darwin, Bong played and still plays a major part in this group.
Thanks must go to Bong for his assistance and guidance with our Darwin recordings.

napakaganda po nito, pag pakiramdam ko na nawawalan ako ng pagasa sa kakayahan ng masa para baguhin ang kinabukasan ng bansa: sinisipol ko ito kasunod ng awit ng pagasa. Madaming salamat po Sir Bong Ramilo.
