Jaime Ramon "Jim" Paredes (born August 31, 1951) is a Filipino musician, producer, educator, writer, photographer, television personality, workshop facilitator, and activist best known for being one of the members of APO Hiking Society, along with Danny Javier and Boboy Garovillo. Paredes' most prominent solo work is 1986' "Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo", which has come to be known as the anthem of the bloodless 1986 People Power Revolution.
It was recorded by 15 Filipino artists in April of that year, and its English version "A New and Better Way" was launched in Australia a few months later.
In recognition of its significance, the lyrics of the song are embedded on a wall of the Our Lady of Edsa Shrine, which commemorates the 1986 revolution.
