The Newborn Screening Jingle "Blessing Ka Baby" was composed by Mr. Lloyd Oliver Cruz and commissioned by the Department of Health - National Capital Region Office (DOH-NCRO). The jingle was released in 2014, as part of the Newborn Screening Week celebration.
VERSE 1
Mula sa sinapupunan
Siyam na buwan ka naming inalagaan
At ngayon nandito ka na
Di ka namin pababayaan.
CHORUS
Oh aming baby, isa kang blessing
Kaya dapat
Magpa-newborn screening.
VERSE 2
Love na love ka namin
Kaya ito gagawin
Para sa kalusugan mo
Dapat natin itong sundin.
CHORUS
Oh aming baby, isa kang blessing
Kaya dapat
Magpa-newborn screening.
BRIDGE (RAP)
Napakadali ng process
Na mag pa-NBS
Ilang patak ng dugo ang kailangan
Para magawa ang test
Makalipas ang 24 ORAS pag si baby lumabas
Gawin natin ang NBS, alinsunod sa batas.
CHORUS
Oh aming baby, isa kang blessing
Kaya dapat
Magpa-newborn screening
Para sa’yo rin ito, sa kalusugan mo.#
