      Raymond's Lullaby


      Raymond's Lullaby is an original composition by Marchan Padla, a volunteer social worker at Ang Arko ng Pilipinas (an NGO for mentally handicapped children). "Raymond" is the name of one of Ang Arko's wards, who was afflicted with autism. The final version of the song was the result of a collaboration between Marchan and Hangad. In accordance with Marchan Padla's original intent for writing the song, proceeds of the album will be donated to Ang Arko ng Pilipinas.


      Trivia


      As of 2016, The Easter Journey, A Wish for Christmas, and "Glory and Praise" are the only albums by Hangad that do not contain the word "hangad" in the title.
      The album's title "A Wish for Christmas" is taken from the stanzas of Raymond's Lullaby.
      The executive producer of A Wish for Christmas, JBoy Gonzales SJ, composed Panunumpa, which appears on Hangad's self-titled debut album.
      In the Philippines, the Thank You song at the end of Paskong Pinoy Medley is commonly sung by children at the end of house-to-house carollings [1]. The identity of this song's composer or lyricist is unknown.
