Centuries-old Cebuano religious song to open Papal mass for 500th year of PH Christianity

Cebu City (CNN Philippines, March 13) — A centuries-old Cebuano religious song will be opening the Papal mass on Sunday in celebration of the 500th year of Christianity in the Philippines.
According to the Mass Booklet or Santa Messa issued by the Vatican, the “Gozoz de Santo Nino de Cebu,” currently known as Batobalani sa Gugma" and literally translates as "Magnet of Love," will be heard as the opening hymn for the mass.
This song regularly heard during Novena masses at the Basilica del Santo Nino in Cebu City is about honoring Santo Nino de Cebu.
The oldest existing Novena booklet that dates back to the late 1700's at the Basilica showed a lengthier and more original version of the song that was written in Cebuano, while a shorter and modern version was made in the 1980s.
