Bawat Pasko'y may dalang himala Malakas mang ulan, ito'y titila Bubuhos ang pagpapala May kapiling ang nangungulila Anumang lungkot, tayo'y aahon May lunas sa sugat ng kahapon Sa isa't isa'y mayrong paglingap Mga pangarap, ngayo'y magaganap Refrain: Laging masaya ang kwento ng Pasko Dahil sino ka man, may nagmamahal sa'yo Ngayong Kapaskuhan ang pangako ko Sa puso ko'y magkasama tayo Chorus: Sa iisang awit ngayong Pasko Magkayakap ang tinig ko't sa iyo Sa 'ting himig, ipagdiriwang ang pag-ibig At ito ay tatawid sa buong daigdig Sa iisang awit ngayong Pasko Magkayakap ang tinig ko't sa iyo Sa 'ting himig, nadarama na ang mahalaga Ay magkasama tayo sa kwento ng Pasko wo-oh wo-oh-oh wo-oh wo-oh-oh Kwento ng Pasko

Mga ala-ala sa Pasko'y di kumukupas Ilang taon pa man ang lumipas Dahil ang bawat damdamin Umuukit nang malalim Marangya man ang pagdiriwang Kahit simpleng kasiyahan Ang tunay na may kayamanan Pamilyang nagmamahalan (Repeat Refrain) (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: Magbago man lahat sa mundo Nananatili ang diwa ng Pasko Ang pagpapala ay hindi mauubos Himala ng Pasko ay hiwaga ng Diyos (Repeat Chorus) Sa iisang awit ngayong Pasko Magkayakap ang tinig ko't sa iyo Sa 'ting himig, nadarama na ang mahalaga Nasaan man sa mundo, magkasama tayo Nasaan man sa mundo, magkasama tayo Sa kwento ng Pasko (Repeat Chorus 3x) Isang kwento Iisang kwento Kwento ng Pasko

Anne Curtis admits the incident and asks for forgiveness

Anne Curtis admits the incident and asks for forgiveness

Anne Curtis reportedly caused a scene in a luxury bar at The Fort in the wee hours of Saturday, November 23. And because of this, she posted a series of tweets saying she was admitting the incident, recognizing her fault, and asking for forgiveness to the people involved and her fans as well.

From Anne Curtis' official Twitter account, here's the transcript:

Hey everyone. I will be making my official statement now & after this, I will not be giving any interviews about this issue anymore. I choose to do this right away because I've always been an open book & I don't like to hide anything... For those who have read about the issue, yes, most of it is true. I admit to that & I have apologized to all parties included immediately... When I was told of my behavior AND the person who started all of this, due to this persons inappropriate behavior, apologized to me too... Just as I did. Which I accepted too. I choose not to go into detail because I'm not the type to ruin someone else's name... Now.. I had been on the super popular juice cleanse for 3 days & attended my best friends bachelorette that night, had one too many drinks.. which led to some of these unfortunate events. That's why they say 'Drink in moderation'. I will charge it to experience & a lesson learned. I'm sorry if I let any of my fans down.... As you all see, I'm just like any other person that makes mistakes in life... Thank you to everyone that has messaged me about their support. With where I am today I owe all of you my honesty. Good night.
