The GMA Kapuso singer and The Clash 2019 winner released his new song on his Facebook account and dedicated it to the frontliners fighting the battle against the coronavirus disease, and to all Filipinos in general.
“To all Filipino and Frontliners out there!” the Cavite-born singer wrote on his Facebook post that came with the “Saludo” music video. “Sama-Sama nating malalampasan ito. ‘Saludo’ Ako sa inyo!”
The Saludo music video also featured various photos of frontliners from the medical sector and military forces on duty to protect the country’s citizens.

Here are the lyrics of Jeremiah Tiangco’s original song “Saludo”:
SALUDO
Pagsikat ng araw
Panibagong simula
Tayo ay babangon
Manalig sa kanya
Sa unos na ito
Kapit-bisig tayo
Malalampasan din natin ito
Bagyo ma’y dumating
Sama-sama nating haharapin
Tayo ay magkapitbisig
Sabay sabay sabihing
Ikaw at ako
Sama-sama tayo
Hanggang sa dulo
Lalaban tayo
Walang susuko
Pagkat nandoon sa dulo ang bahaghari at
Lilipas din ito
Ako’y saludo sa iyo
Sa unos na ito
Kapit-bisig tayo
Malalampasan din natin ito
Bagyo ma’y dumating
Sama-sama nating haharapin
Tayo ay magkapitbisig
Sabay sabay sabihing
Ikaw at ako
Sama-sama tayo
Hanggang sa dulo
Lalaban tayo
Walang susuko
Pagkat nandoon sa dulo ang bahaghari at
Lilipas din ito
Ako’y saludo sa iyo
