What is the traditional New Year's Eve song widely sung in the Philippines at midnight?

Auld Lang Syne is the traditional New Year's Eve song widely sung in the Philippines at midnight.

The song uses a Scots phrase meaning roughly “old long since,” or memories of times long past. Its familiar words are based on a poem sent by Robert Burns to the Scots Musical Museum in 1788, while the melody became linked with the text through later musical tradition.

In the Philippines, English-language cultural influences and the country's history of American administration helped make Auld Lang Syne a familiar part of New Year's celebrations. Families and communities often sing it as the old year ends or the new year begins, sometimes alongside fireworks and a midnight toast.

The song is global rather than exclusively Filipino: it is also associated with New Year's Eve in many countries. A common mix-up is to credit Burns with composing the entire melody; he is chiefly associated with the words and with preserving or adapting traditional material.
