Set to the tune of Basil Valdez’s "You" (as sung by a child), Google Philippines shows snippets of Filipino families separated by circumstances, but connected through technology. The vision of the mission? "Share the everyday no matter the distance."
The touching video is only one part of Google’s Balikbayan campaign, a page that encourages Overseas Filipino Workers and their families to utilize Google+ features like Circles and Hangouts to stay in touch. It’s a nice reminder that maybe that person on your social media feed is simply trying to connect to friends and relatives in lands far, far away. (Or that emojis and stickers aren’t subtitutes for real hugs and smileys, but sometimes it’s all other people have. Is it raining on your face yet?)
