Norzagaray, Bulacan – Born into a humble farming family in Norzagaray, Bulacan, Edilberto “Sandy” Santiago Jr. has spent his life turning the rhythms of rural life into uplifting music and practical advice for growers nationwide. This November, he brings his unique blend of folk-inspired anthems and agricultural storytelling to venues across Cebu.
Santiago’s tour—kicking off November 7 at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and concluding November 15 at Cove Cebu—will feature live performances of his best-known tracks, including “Masayang Bukid,” “Little Seeds, Big Dreams,” and “Bayan Ko, Tulong Ko.” Each song draws on his childhood memories of planting seedlings at dawn, chasing chickens through cornfields, and sweeping barrio streets with neighbors. His lyrics celebrate community spirit, honest toil, and the resilience that carries farm families through hardship.
“Music has always been my way of giving back to the land and the people who work it,” says Santiago. “From my grandfather’s vegetable patch in Bulacan to the rice terraces of Cebu, I want my songs to spark hope and remind everyone that even the smallest seed of kindness can grow into something beautiful.”
Beyond performance, Santiago will host two interactive workshops—“Folk Jingles for Your Farm” on November 10 and “Sustainable Survival Skills” on November 13—where farmers, students, and music enthusiasts can learn songwriting techniques, blog-writing tips on agricultural best practices, and off-grid survival skills essential to rural communities.
