Please Pray the Rosary

Please Pray the Rosary is a Philippine Roman Catholic advocacy commissioned by Fr. Patrick Peyton, CSC of the Family Rosary Crusade. The station ID was used in ABC 5 before the start of every program from March 31, 1996 until December 31, 2003. This advertisement was commissioned by Father Patrick Peyton before he died.

Logo
It consists of the Virgin Mary suddenly appearing and gradually zooming out in the screen with an ominous choir singing in the background with the Blessed Mother saying "I ask every family: 'Please, pray the Rosary' ". When Mary says the latter part, (i.e. Please, pray the Rosary) the said phrase appears with Mama Mary's signature on the bottom right of the phrase on the screen. It then shifts to a male voice saying "The family that prays together, stays together" which is a motto originated by Fr. Patrick Peyton with the bottom part of the Rosary in the very right corner of the screen

Scare Factor
Low to High. Or should I say NIGHTMARE?! (none to low for Filipino Catholics who are used to the commercial)- For most Filipinos (since most of them are Roman Catholics), the sudden appearance of the Virgin Mary in the commercial is not really startling, and her voice and appearance (but some consider the Virgin Mary's stare as startling) is mostly loving and sweet. The loud ominous choir takes the effect behind the scare of the commercial. But when it comes to the male voice, the scare factor lessens since the ominous choir simply just hums until the end of the commercial.

Trivia

 * It also has a billboard based on it. On the left is the same picture of Mary used in the ad which is colored and on the right is the same message and signature used along with the rosary which is black, not blue.  It is unknown whether it still stands or not.
 * A placard similar to that of the billboard existed too, where it may have been carried out in a Catholic procession or the launching event of the ad, if it happened, during the 90s.
 * It had a radio version that played in a radio station owned by ABC5, Dream 106.7, formerly known as Kool 106. It went as follows: "The family that prays together stays together. Please pray the rosary! This is the Associated Broadcasting Company. On FM, we are Metro Manila's comfortable choice: 106.7 Dream FM."
 * It is mentioned in the 2015 book, Mother Figured: Marian Appreciations and the Making of a Filipino Universal, in the fifth chapter.
 * A poster version of the ad appears in the 1995 film Pulis Patola 2.Pulispatolamaryface.png
