Exclusive for Tiktok with Astor Amoyo.
01:11.3
Mga kaibigan, kapag naririnig nyo mga classic OPM hits tulad ng Lift Up Your Hands,
01:18.0
I Think I'm In Love, Sana'y Ikaw Na Nga.
01:20.8
At napakarami pang iba.
01:23.3
Mga kaibigan, the songwriter, the singer.
01:27.0
And the music genius.
01:28.6
Mga kaibigan, let's all welcome,
01:33.9
Thank you. Thank you so much for having me, Astor.
01:37.4
I'm so happy to be here.
01:39.2
The pleasure is mine.
01:40.7
Biro mo all the way from the Bay Area ng San Francisco, California, USA.
01:46.9
And I'm so privileged, mga kaibigan.
01:49.2
Pag nalaman nyo na siya yung babae sa likod ng mga classic hits.
01:55.3
OPM classic hits.
01:58.4
Kumusta ka na? And what brought you here to the Philippines?
02:01.9
I am actually celebrating my 45th year.
02:06.0
45 years in the Philippine music industry.
02:10.7
But in 1984, I left for the US.
02:13.1
It's been like 40 years ago.
02:14.8
Correct. But in spite of that, you know, I'm so blessed kasi
02:17.4
nagpatuloy po ng pagtangkilik ang mga Pilipino sa OPM at saka sa mga awitin ko.
02:25.3
Hindi mo mawala yun eh.
02:27.0
Lalo na yung, alam mo, the 40 years that you've been in the US,
02:31.1
yung mga kanta mo, yung mga OPM classics, patuloy siyang kinagigiliwan ng mga Pinoy, mga kababayan natin.
02:39.1
Mula sa henerasyon ng 70s, late 70s, up to the present time, siya pala yung nasa likod ng mga awiting yun.
02:46.0
I'm so grateful for, I have to mention, I'm thankful to Viva for producing my concert, my upcoming concert at the Soler.
03:00.4
And it's gonna be full of wonderful OPM artists who will be interpreting my music.
03:08.9
At saka ako rin po, aawit din po ako ng mga, a few of my songs na nakatago pa sa baul.
03:15.4
Na hindi pa ito nare-release at all.
03:19.0
I'd like the audience who will be there at Soler that night to have a glimpse.
03:23.7
It's called The Music of Cecile Azarco.
03:27.0
So, alam mo, pag ano palang nilang Cecile Azarco, alam mo, honestly, she is a music genius.
03:34.5
Just like her mom, Minda Azarco.
03:37.0
Just in case, kilala nyo pa, of course, mga kapanabayan ko, kilalang kilala si Minda Azarco.
03:43.5
Pianist at concert, di ba?
03:50.7
Voice and piano teacher.
03:55.4
So, hindi ka takataka kung bakit.
03:56.8
May Cecile Azarco.
03:58.0
How many children are you?
04:00.7
Pero out of the five, ikaw lang ba ang nagmana sa nanay mo?
04:04.8
Ako lang ang sumunod sa yapak ng aking, you know, mommy.
04:10.8
Alam mo, nakaka-amaze kasi at three years old, magaling ka na mag-piano or natuto ka na mag-piano?
04:17.8
Yeah, you know, actually, sabi ng mom ko, sumasampaparaw ako sa piano stool.
04:21.9
Kasi hindi mo pa aabutin eh.
04:23.3
Sumasampaparaw ako.
04:24.4
And that's when I started to play the piano.
04:26.8
You know, I just started thinking around the piano.
04:28.6
And then, six years old, nag-start na raw akong mag-create ng mga sarili kong music, melodies.
04:33.9
And my mom notated them.
04:36.0
So, when I was an adult already, actually, pinakita niya sa akin.
04:39.7
She had like, you know, yung mga compositions ko may title, Ang Buwan, Ang Ibon, Ang Araw.
04:46.2
But these were piano compositions.
04:48.0
The first time that I really wrote, na kumpleto ng words and music was when I was a seventh grade grader student at St. Scholastica's College of Manila.
04:56.8
We were encouraged by our religion teacher to create something original.
05:01.5
So, yung iba gumawa, paper mache, nag-crochet, or, you know, nag-paint.
05:06.5
Ako, I composed a song.
05:08.8
Napaka-bata mo pa.
05:10.8
Siguro talaga yung nagtataka ang mom mo.
05:13.1
At six years old, nagko-compose ka na.
05:15.5
Ang tawag doon talaga, genius talaga.
05:18.1
Oh, thank God for that.
05:19.7
Nagtuloy-tuloy na, kumbaga.
05:21.7
Nung nag-college ako, I had a cousin, may ate Charo Unite.
05:25.6
Who was working with Vicor at the time.
05:27.2
Yes, oh, I remember her.
05:28.4
At saka, composer din siya.
05:29.8
As you know her, she composed a song,
05:33.1
Yes, Rico J. Puno.
05:36.8
Kay Rico yung tumata ko.
05:38.3
And she also composed Lupa.
05:40.0
Kay Rico rin yan.
05:41.5
And Macho Guapito.
05:44.1
I can't even try.
05:44.7
Of course, I know Charo.
05:46.1
Because she goes to the office.
05:47.5
I was with Vicor before.
05:49.4
Yeah, so she was the one.
05:50.5
She looked for me at the UP College of Music.
05:53.0
I was a freshman student.
05:54.3
Sabi niya, alika, maghanga.
05:57.7
Because she was working at Vicor at that time.
06:00.0
Because she kind of like wanted to expose me
06:01.7
to what she was doing.
06:02.9
And maybe, you know,
06:04.1
baka I might end up working also,
06:06.6
eventually, for their company.
06:08.6
Pero hindi ko naisip na I would be signed up
06:14.1
Black Gold Records.
06:14.8
A sister company of Vicor at that time.
06:17.3
By Mr. Vic Del Rosario.
06:18.9
So the person who discovered me
06:21.3
and gave me my break as a songwriter
06:23.3
is none other than Mr. Vic Del Rosario.
06:25.6
Who is producing my concert.
06:27.8
My former boss as well, so Vicor.
06:30.7
He's producing my upcoming concert at Soler.
06:34.1
Alam niyo mga kaibigan,
06:40.4
Raymond Lauchenco,
06:42.6
at napakarami pang iba.
06:44.0
Ang kanilang mga hit songs,
06:52.0
what's exciting about the concert,
06:53.9
the upcoming concert at Soler,
06:55.6
because Kool will be there.
07:02.7
Parang reunion na rin ito.
07:04.7
Jam Morales is flying all the way from New Mexico
07:07.7
sa US just to sing Even If.
07:11.0
Oh, that's another hit.
07:12.8
Yan ang pinakaya major hit talaga ni Jam Morales.
07:20.4
kasi I also came from the recording business.
07:22.5
I started with Vicor,
07:24.3
I stayed with Octo Arts for 12 years.
07:28.7
Is it the song that makes the singer?
07:31.3
Or it is the singer that makes the song?
07:34.0
Correct me kung ano yung personal opinion mo.
07:38.1
Alam mo, actually,
07:39.2
hindi ako nagsabi nito,
07:40.3
but I forget his name.
07:41.2
A very big record producer in the US,
07:45.2
was it Clark Davis,
07:48.4
it's always the song.
07:49.9
It's always the song.
07:50.9
And sa akin naman,
07:52.5
pwedeng the song,
07:53.8
pwedeng the singer,
07:54.3
kasi kahit anong ganda,
07:55.3
anong ganda ng kanta,
07:56.6
Pag hindi nabigyan ng justice,
07:59.5
Meron namang kahit na regular yung kanta,
08:02.4
pero pag mahusay yung singer,
08:04.5
napapaganda yung kanta.
08:06.1
Simpleng example is like,
08:08.1
Matayo kang lipad ng saranggola.
08:10.7
Saranggola ng Pepe.
08:12.7
Legaspi, my goodness,
08:13.7
it became so classic.
08:16.8
In the same manner,
08:18.3
yung I think I'm in love ni Kuli Desma,
08:21.7
Pag narinig mo na yung I think I'm in love,
08:24.4
lalabas ang Kuli Desma.
08:26.9
Or in the likes also of,
08:28.4
pag sanay, ikaw na nga.
08:31.4
Lift Up Your Heart,
08:33.7
Yung identity ng song.
08:36.7
Simulan muna natin kay Basil.
08:38.2
I think it was Basil
08:39.4
na unang nagbigay sa'yo ng hit song.
08:43.0
You were 19 years old.
08:44.4
Can you give us a little background about the song?
08:47.3
Paano mo ito sinulat?
08:48.5
At ano ito katagal na sinulat mo?
08:50.5
You know, napakaganda ng kwento niyang
08:52.1
Lift Up Your Hands.
08:53.0
Kasi I was on the phone with a friend,
08:56.5
Tapos sabi ko sa kanya,
08:60.0
don't do anything drastic.
09:04.1
pagdadasal ko siya.
09:05.3
So pagbaba namin ng phone,
09:06.5
I prayed for her.
09:07.3
So that sounds like a prayer also.
09:09.3
Advising life is not at all that bad,
09:13.9
Because I was writing it for my friend.
09:15.8
I was telling it to my friend.
09:17.9
nabuo yung kanta.
09:21.7
10 minutes mo lang sinulat yun?
09:24.2
And then after that,
09:25.3
nanginginig ko ko,
09:26.0
I'll never forget that experience.
09:28.6
Parang dumaan lang yung kanta sa akin.
09:30.6
Parang somebody touched you?
09:32.6
That's really divine inspiration.
09:35.1
And I give glory to God for that song.
09:37.3
And I didn't even have a Bible in front of me.
09:40.0
It's not like I opened the Bible,
09:41.3
oh, pagkagandang verse ito,
09:42.4
magawan nga ng song.
09:43.6
It was only later on that I discovered
09:45.5
it was based on Matthew 11, 28.
09:48.1
Cast your burdens upon me,
09:49.5
those who are heavily laden.
09:55.0
You know, God really
09:56.0
is the one who orchestrates it, di ba?
09:59.8
I believe you, yes.
10:00.9
And then I was hanging out
10:01.8
at Blackwood at that time.
10:04.0
And merong kwarto doon na
10:06.3
walang tao, may piano.
10:08.0
Pinaki-alaman mo.
10:08.8
Nakakita ko ng piano.
10:10.6
Gusto-gusto kong tugtugan eh.
10:12.2
So I went to that room
10:13.5
and then I was singing
10:15.0
Lift Up Your Hands.
10:16.0
Kasi excited ako,
10:16.8
kagagawa ko lang.
10:19.1
nasa labas pa ng pintuan,
10:20.5
siguro dumadaan si Basil.
10:22.5
Nakikinig siya sa labas.
10:23.7
So, kasi pagkatapos
10:24.8
kong kantahin yung song,
10:27.4
oh, what is that song?
10:28.6
I don't know if Basil remembers this,
10:30.3
but I'll never forget it.
10:32.6
what is that song?
10:33.6
Sabi ko, oh, it's nothing.
10:35.6
no, it's not nothing.
10:37.6
well, it's something I wrote.
10:42.3
I'd like to include it
10:43.4
in my first OPM album,
10:45.9
Quarter of the Sky.
10:47.9
Yeah, all English.
10:51.2
Composed by Filipino composers.
10:53.7
yung album Ko of the Sky,
10:55.0
yung carrier single doon was
10:57.1
yung You Give Me.
10:58.0
Yeah, right, right.
10:59.4
Tapos yung kanta ko,
11:00.7
long-playing album pa noon,
11:03.2
Binil, binil pa yun.
11:06.3
Nasa side B yung kanta ko.
11:08.0
So, hindi yun ang Pinush?
11:09.7
hindi yun yung carrier.
11:11.1
Wala ka sa playlist
11:13.3
But there was one DJ
11:14.5
na pinakinggan yung buong album
11:18.3
tumatak sa kanya yung
11:19.2
Lift Up Your Hands
11:20.2
and he started to play it.
11:33.0
he broke pretty much
11:34.3
the playlist rule
11:35.7
and he started playing my song
11:38.2
which kind of like
11:38.9
got him in trouble
11:39.7
even with the station managers.
11:41.9
by the grace of God,
11:43.2
nag-hit yung kanta.
11:45.1
And the rest is history.
11:47.5
I'd like to thank that DJ na
11:49.0
just a few years ago
11:51.0
ang taga ko hinanap ko
11:52.1
sino yung DJ na yun.
11:55.3
Oo, si George Boone.
11:58.8
Of course, I know him.
12:02.7
If you're out there
12:03.6
watching the show.
12:05.2
I think at that time,
12:06.1
I don't know kung nasa LS na siya
12:10.4
at that time na si George.
12:12.7
I mean, iba na kasi ngayon.
12:14.4
iba nang platform
12:16.7
radio's still there.
12:17.8
Pero before kasi,
12:22.6
na this business,
12:24.9
Talaga during our time.
12:27.5
Totoo yung during.
12:31.4
ng mga foreign music.
12:34.6
And in fairness to the
12:35.7
former first lady,
12:37.8
siya yung nagano talaga
12:43.0
Kasi halos sa lahat
12:44.9
napapakinggan mo,
12:45.9
puro mga foreign music eh.
12:48.2
Bibihira yung napapatugtog.
12:49.9
So four OPM songs
12:54.0
And I remember receiving,
12:55.4
hindi ko naman maalala
12:56.6
kung sino tumawag sa akin nun.
12:58.7
But I remember receiving
12:59.8
a phone call from
13:02.0
and Black World Records
13:05.0
nakikinig ko ba kayo
13:12.1
Iba-iba ang singer,
13:14.4
pero isa ho yung composer.
13:18.7
sabay-sabay yung,
13:19.9
pinaplag siguro sa radio yung
13:21.6
I think I'm in love.
13:29.3
it's Raymond Lauchenco,
13:31.2
at yung Reaching Out,
13:33.0
yung Gary Valenciano,
13:34.2
yung mga sabay-sabay na,
13:36.3
Special Memories,
13:38.4
Special Memory by Iwi Laurel.
13:42.0
yun ang tinutugtog ng DJ na
13:44.0
iisa yung composer.
13:46.7
during that time,
13:47.8
kasi even before you,
13:49.4
bago ka nag-emerge talaga,
13:51.1
andyan na yung George Canseco,
13:53.0
andyan na yung Willie Cruz,
13:55.6
Kahit yung pinsan mo,
13:58.7
naandun na siya eh.
13:59.6
I mean, you know,
14:00.2
she was ahead of you eh.
14:02.1
Pero nung lumabas ang,
14:04.4
But hindi naman sa ano,
14:05.7
kasi magkakaiba kayo.
14:07.0
You're distinct from each other.
14:08.5
Lahat ng mga composers.
14:10.1
pero when you came out,
14:11.7
Parang iba rin yung,
14:13.1
nagbigay ng kakaibang standard
14:17.3
I'm not saying na hindi magaganda yung,
14:19.0
siyempre iba rin yun eh.
14:20.6
Mga classic songs,
14:21.5
yung Willie Cruz,
14:22.4
yung George Canseco,
14:24.9
But you were at that time,
14:26.9
Siyempre ang kauna-unahan mong hit song,
14:28.6
Lift Up Your Hands.
14:32.2
Basil asked me for a Tagalog song,
14:34.7
so I gave him Sana Ikaw na Nga.
14:37.1
Isa pang classic hit.
14:38.7
Sinong nauna kay Gary at saka kay Martin?
14:40.9
Nauna yata si Gary,
14:43.2
For Reaching Out.
14:43.7
For Reaching Out.
14:44.8
Kasi that was 84.
14:46.7
ikaw ang lahat sa akin was in 1986.
14:48.8
Nasa Amerika na ako nun.
14:50.2
Kararating lang ni Martin in 1986, yes.
14:53.2
So, when I moved to the United States in 1984
14:57.9
I was at the peak of my career.
15:00.2
And ayoko sanang umalis,
15:02.0
kaya lang ando na yung pamilya ko.
15:04.3
Sila nasa Amerika.
15:05.7
Ako na lang yung wala.
15:06.9
So, nalungkot ako.
15:08.4
Sabi ko, that's it.
15:09.4
Wala na, goodbye na yung
15:12.6
Hindi ko na alam kung anong mangyayari
15:14.3
sa songwriting career ko.
15:15.5
So, I had no idea na
15:17.3
magtatagal siya ng ganito.
15:20.2
I got a phone call from Martin.
15:22.0
Tapos nag-usap kami mga two hours siguro
15:25.0
Gusto raw niya ng Tagalog song.
15:27.0
Sabi ko, ba't kwentohan mo ko?
15:28.8
Para ma-inspire ako.
15:30.0
I need to know something.
15:31.5
Gusto ko yung magagawa kong song
15:33.3
is something that he can relate to.
15:35.2
And sa pag-usap namin yun,
15:37.3
that conversation gave birth to ikaw
15:39.1
ang lahat sa akin.
15:40.1
Isa rin sa mga classic hit songs
15:42.0
niya niya, Martin.
15:43.2
Ang Cecil Alsarcon,
15:44.9
40 years sa Amerika.
15:47.9
But you are celebrating your 45th.
15:50.7
Pero 40 years ka sa Amerika.
15:52.4
Umalis ka nung 1984.
15:54.2
2014 pa lang, eh 2024 ngayon.
15:57.1
So, that's been like 40 years.
15:59.8
After, when I think about it,
16:08.6
Only He can do that.
16:10.8
Alam mo kung anong ginagawa ko sa America?
16:12.7
That I have been doing
16:15.8
since I was 17 years old
16:17.4
is to be the music director of a church.
16:19.9
That's what I do full time.
16:22.9
I'm a music director of Faith Bible Church of Vallejo.
16:26.1
Yung 40 years na yan na
16:28.2
ang buhay ko sa Amerika is bahay simbahan.
16:32.3
In between, I used to give voice and piano lessons.
16:36.8
I stopped nung nag-pandemic.
16:38.6
Tapos namatay yung parents ko.
16:40.7
I took care of them,
16:41.8
which was a blessing kasi nung nag-pandemic,
16:44.2
I was able to take, you know,
16:45.8
care of my parents full time.
16:47.3
But, you know, I lost both of them in,
16:50.9
In fact, today, May 13 ngayon dito,
16:53.9
it's my, my dad's death anniversary.
16:56.4
Yung 40 years out of 45 years na nasa Amerika ko,
17:00.4
tapos nag-thrive pa rin yung mga songs.
17:02.9
Di ba? Para sa akin, that's all God.
17:05.4
That's all He's doing.
17:07.9
And all in His time, He makes all things beautiful.
17:11.9
And for me, I'm doing this concert para pasalamatan Siya.
17:15.9
Kasi ang dami kong pinagdaanan.
17:18.6
Believe me, yung mga kanta na yan,
17:20.1
pinagdaanan ko lahat yan.
17:22.1
Yung mga isulat kong kanta.
17:25.1
It's, it's really a journey.
17:27.1
It's been a painful but beautiful journey.
17:29.6
Kasi sabi ko nga,
17:31.1
kung kailangan kong pagdaanan uli yung mga pinagdaanan ko noon
17:34.1
para ma-isulat ko yung mga kantang na isulat ko ngayon,
17:37.1
I will go through them again.
17:38.6
Ikaw ang nagbigay ng mga hit songs for Ja Morales.
17:43.1
Of course, Kulidesma.
17:44.1
I think I'm in love.
17:45.1
Maraming in love sa song na yan, di ba?
17:47.1
I think you did, about,
17:48.6
three or more songs for Kulidesma.
17:52.1
Siya ang pinakamaraming narecord na kanta ko.
17:54.6
She did two albums.
17:55.6
Yung buong I Think I'm in Love.
17:57.6
I wrote nine of the songs there.
17:59.6
Yung pangsampung song was a collaboration with,
18:03.1
it was really a song written by Louie Gonzalez.
18:06.1
Yeah, but we, you know, I kind of like worked on it with him.
18:09.6
So that became a collaboration.
18:11.1
Yung What's Come Over Me.
18:12.1
That will be sung at the concert.
18:14.1
And of course, Kool will be there.
18:16.6
But that is going to be a surprise.
18:18.6
So, kung sino yung mag-do it lang.
18:20.1
Bago natin isa-isahin yung mga hit songs mo,
18:22.6
sabihin mo muna sa kanila,
18:23.6
sino yung mga special guest mo on your concert?
18:27.1
Homecoming concert.
18:28.6
Yeah, for May 24 and 25,
18:31.6
it'll be Kulidesma.
18:33.6
There will be Miss Federice Reyes.
18:36.6
She also recorded one of my songs called Ho' Ikaw Na Naman.
18:41.6
And then, of course, my dear friend, Jan Morales.
18:43.6
My nephew, Tim Pavino.
18:47.6
Oh, the daughter of Kulidesma.
18:49.6
They'll be singing an inspirational song that I composed.
18:52.6
Jano Gibbs will be there.
18:55.6
Pero wala kang kinompose for Jano?
18:59.6
But I'm very, very excited to meet him and to hear his rendition of my songs.
19:03.6
He's also a good songwriter.
19:07.6
And then, for May 24, Martin will be there.
19:12.6
Iwi Laurel, who recorded Special Memory, will be there.
19:16.6
Jackie Lublanco para will be in both nights, my dear friend, Jackie.
19:21.6
At may surpresa, right?
19:23.6
Huwag na muna natin i-devolve basta para ma-curious sila.
19:27.6
Martin is going to be there as well, di ba?
19:29.6
Martin, of course, will be there on the 24th.
19:32.6
Jackie Lublanco is going to be there.
19:36.6
And then, supposedly, surprise guest, pero tapos na naman yung concert niya.
19:40.6
I think it's safe to announce that Mr. Gary Valenciano will be there on Friday.
19:47.6
And then, sa 25th, I'm thankful, it will be Shasha Padilla will be there also.
19:55.6
And Mr. Gene Velasquez.
19:57.6
And also, Katrina Velarde will be there.
20:00.6
Or she's a very good singer.
20:02.6
Anong inspiration mo or whenever you write a song?
20:05.6
At saka napaka-soulful ng tamawing description ko ng mga songs mo?
20:09.6
Mas maganda sabihin si Gusto ng Galag may kaluluwa.
20:17.6
I mean, yung mga lyrics mo, may pinaghuhugutan eh.
20:19.6
Honestly, Aster, ang pagsusulat siguro ng kanta, it's an overflow of emotions.
20:24.6
Kailangan overflow.
20:25.6
Hindi pwedeng masaya ka lang.
20:26.6
Kailangan masaya.
20:28.6
Hindi pwedeng malungkot na.
20:29.6
Puro nga malungkot yung mga songs mo eh.
20:30.6
Kailangan malungkot na malungkot ka.
20:33.6
Hindi pa naman ako nakakasulat ng kanta pag galit ako.
20:37.6
Or pag in love ka, kailangan in love na in love ka.
20:40.6
Yung overflow na yun, yun yung lumalabas na words and music na kailangan excited.
20:44.6
Yung music na kailangang express mo.
20:46.6
But when you feel that coming, I have to find a pen and paper right away.
20:51.6
And I have to capture that moment right away.
20:55.6
Kasi pag hindi, ay, I feel like writing a song, you know, pero busy ako ngayon, mamaya na lang.
21:00.6
Baka makalimutan mo pa.
21:03.6
It's gonna be gone.
21:08.6
When you wrote the song, Reaching Out for Gary Valenciano, ano ang naging inspiration mo?
21:13.6
Ano ka bang inspiration when you wrote that song?
21:16.6
Minsan may kaktwentuhan ka lang.
21:18.6
Minsan may kausap ka lang.
21:21.6
Excited na excited siya na may crush siya.
21:24.6
I remember that was how it happened that I had a voice to them.
21:28.6
Kasi I was giving voice lessons then.
21:30.6
And this guy was very excited na I guess meron siyang nagugustuhan.
21:35.6
Kaya kinikwento lang siyang tita.
21:37.6
Ganun, ganun, ganun, ganun.
21:38.6
Tapos when he left, a lot of times in the 80s, yung mga kanta ko,
21:42.6
nasulat ko in between students.
21:46.6
Pag meron akong break, you know, tapos yung nakwentuhan ako,
21:49.6
and I, you know, right away, I get inspired to write that into a song.
21:53.6
Parang I think I'm in love, ganun din.
21:55.6
Meron din akong isang voice student na meron siyang crush doon sa village kung saan sila nakatira.
22:01.6
Kaya tita Cecile, I think I'm in love, you know.
22:04.6
So pag alis niya, nagawa ko yung song.
22:07.6
Nung sinulat mo yung show It's You, ni Raymond Lauchenco,
22:11.6
sino ang naging inspiration mo?
22:13.6
Ganun din, you know, meron din nagkwento sa akin na kaibigan ko.
22:18.6
Parang itong So It's You is actually Tagalog, English version nung Sana Ikaw Na Nga.
22:24.6
Ganun din na meron siyang nagustuhan na sana ito na, sana siya na, kaya sana ikaw na nga.
22:31.6
Pati yung So It's You, so it's you, I've been waiting for so long.
22:34.6
Ganun din yung emotions nung tao na nagkwento sa akin.
22:38.6
Even if meron din nagkwento sa akin na,
22:41.6
yun naman talagang she was so broken-hearted because she actually caught her then-husband cheating on her.
22:49.6
So, ba't hindi yung galit, kaya even if.
22:51.6
Parang these are all personal experiences.
22:54.6
Not necessarily by you, but the people around you, close to you.
22:57.6
The people around me.
22:58.6
And what's scary actually, kasi yung mga songs na sinulat ko ng time na yun, mga nag-hit na and everything,
23:05.6
na kwento ng mga ibang tao, ito na yung mga ayokong sinishare sa iba.
23:10.6
Pero I will share it here.
23:15.6
Kagaya ng One More Try, I did not write that for me.
23:18.6
I wrote it for my sister who was going through a tough time in her marriage.
23:24.6
But it was not my experience.
23:26.6
But then later on in my life, I went through the same thing.
23:30.6
Where I had to ask myself, should I stay or should I say goodbye?
23:33.6
Kaya sabi ko, naku, kailangan mag-iingat ako ng mga iko-compose ko.
23:37.6
Kasi parang nagiging prophetic.
23:38.6
Oo. Oo. Oo. Here.
23:39.6
Baligtad. Pinagkaanan ko after.
23:42.6
Nabuo mo na yung kanta, hit na yung song.
23:45.6
Tsaka iba yung naging inspiration ko, kwento ng ibang tao.
23:48.6
Yeah. It was your sister's story. Diba?
23:50.6
At binigyang buhay ni Kulidesma.
23:52.6
And of course, special memory.
23:57.6
Mukha yata, mukha yata special talaga.
24:01.6
Hindi kasi syempre, you know, pag nasa high school ka, meron kang, syempre, relationship.
24:07.6
That's the best ano nga daw eh.
24:09.6
Oo. So nagkaroon naman ako ng mga first love.
24:13.6
Akala mo yun na, pero hindi pala.
24:16.6
So yun ang nagiging, pinagugutang ko ng mga time na yun.
24:20.6
Na hanggang memory na lang.
24:22.6
Pero later on, you know, it was sang even in graduations,
24:28.6
pati yung mga funerals, you know.
24:31.6
That became a very special song for me kasi when I lost my sister to cancer,
24:35.6
my youngest sister.
24:36.6
In 2004, I sang it.
24:40.6
It's 20 years ago.
24:41.6
Yeah. During her memorial service.
24:43.6
And it was very difficult for me to sing it.
24:45.6
Si kagaya niyan, iba naman yung intensyon ng kanta.
24:48.6
Pero naging personal sa akin.
24:50.6
At saka iba yung impact noon pag ikaw pa mismo ang kumakanta.
24:54.6
Ito, somebody talaga you really love deeply is now nothing but a special memory.
25:00.6
And so I sang that song when I lost my dad, when I lost my, you know.
25:04.6
Pag tinanong mo ko, anong pinakamatinggi?
25:06.6
O malapit sa puso ko sa mga kanta ko ngayon?
25:09.6
Well, it will always be Lift Up Your Hand and then Special Memory.
25:14.6
How did you know?
25:15.6
How did you know?
25:16.6
Ano rin ang naging inspiration mo sa song na yun?
25:18.6
Ito, ikikwento ko na lang kasi nangyari ito recently na tinanong ko yung my husband.
25:24.6
Okay, I've been married for 29 years.
25:27.6
But of course, prior to that, you know, I was married before.
25:31.6
And had some, you know, previous relationships.
25:34.6
So, I wrote this song before I got married to my husband now.
25:40.6
He never asked me kung saan ko, ano naging inspiration ko, para kanina ko ginawa yung song.
25:46.6
But he's always been supportive of me, of my songs, of, you know, kinakanta pa niya yung mga kanta ko.
25:51.6
Sabi ko, aren't you curious kung para kanina ko ginawa yung kanta?
25:55.6
And enough to bless naman kasi.
25:57.6
At sabi niya, alam mo, nakaraan mo na yun eh. Tapos na yun.
26:02.6
Oo. Kung minsan man may special na tao dumating sa buhay mo. Pero that was before my time.
26:09.6
Napaka-understanding naman niya.
26:11.6
My answer to your question is that once upon a time, there was a special person that came into my life na akala mo yun na.
26:18.6
And that was the feeling that I had. How did you know I needed someone like you in my life?
26:22.6
Yung para may mga taong dumadaan lang sa buhay ko para makagawa ako ng kanta na napakaganda.
26:28.6
That relationship did not, hindi naglast. No?
26:32.6
And ang ginawa ko sa kanta, tinago ko sa baul ko. For many years, nakatago sa baul ko yung kanta.
26:37.6
Until one day, sabi ko, at the first time ko i-share, sayang naman tong kantang to.
26:42.6
Alam mo yung pag parang, ano, bumukas ka ng baul, may mga cobwebs, may mga alikabok.
26:48.6
Ginagano mo rin, sayang naman tong kantang to. Sabi ko, pagkakitaan na nga.
26:54.6
So finally, nilabas mo.
26:56.6
So finally, yeah. Tama-tama, Victor Osorio was asking for songs.
27:01.6
And so I included that.
27:03.6
Cassette tape pa naku, magsabit ako.
27:05.6
Oo yun. O yung mga demo tapes. Oo.
27:07.6
Mayroon ako demo tape. Siguro may mga sampung kanta doon.
27:11.6
Isa rin yung, How Did You Know? Tapos yun.
27:13.6
It got into the hands of Chiqui Pineda. That's another beautiful story.
27:17.6
Kinuwenti niya sa akin na pinapakinggan niya yung mga kanta. Pumili ka kung anong gusto mong kanta na i-record.
27:22.6
And she handpicked, How Did You Know? All in God's Time.
27:26.6
Pero yung kanta na yun, that's how I came to write it.
27:29.6
Hindi ba mahirap or mabigat sa loob mo when you turned your back, although ipagpatuloy mo sa Amerika.
27:36.6
But basically, you were at the peak of your career in the Philippines nung umalis ka papuntang Amerika.
27:42.6
So, I prayed about it. You know, I got my answer. Kasi I asked God for a sign kung talagang will ng Lord na pumunta kami sa Amerika.
27:51.6
Talagang nakikipag-negotiate pa ako. And He gave me His answer. And it was, you know, we had to leave.
27:57.6
So, parang ano yan eh, you just wanna be obedient. I was heartbroken, but...
28:03.6
Oh, yeah. Kasi syempre, you're going into a place na starting over ka na naman.
28:11.6
Magsisimula ka na naman. Tapos lahat ng mga taong, you know, yung kinalakihan mo, yung mga...
28:16.6
Yung career mo, you know, nagsisimula pa lang, iiwanan mo. Pero yun talaga yung journey na sasabihin mo life of faith.
28:22.6
That is why looking back 45 years from now, you know, sabi ko, 45 years from now.
28:27.6
Parang sinasabi sa akin ng Diyos, tinan mo, pinabayaan ba kita?
28:31.6
Somehow related din yung ginagawa mo sa Amerika sa iniwan mo dito sa Pilipinas. Diba?
28:37.6
Yeah, parang inuna ko siya.
28:39.6
And you know, my favorite verse in the Bible is,
28:42.6
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
28:46.6
Lahat tayo may kanya-kanyang calling.
28:49.6
Your calling is you doing what you're doing right now.
28:52.6
I had a different calling. That's why I really never pursued yung being a professional.
28:56.6
Being a professional singer. I had a different calling.
28:59.6
Yung pagtuturo ng voice, I prayed about that. Should I be a singer or should I teach voice?
29:04.6
I saw my mom, you know, teaching voice and she was in the confines of the four walls of the music room.
29:10.6
Day in, day out, andun lang siya. Sabi ko, I don't want that kind of life.
29:13.6
But then, lo and behold, I led the life, the same life that my mom.
29:18.6
And I became a voice teacher and my world became my music room.
29:22.6
That was my calling. I chose the road less traveled.
29:26.6
Ang damdamin ng singers, pero sino magtuturo sa kanila? Sino magti-train sa kanila?
29:31.6
That's why when I teach, pag na-fulfill nila yung dreams nila of becoming a professional singer,
29:37.6
takay ka na rin doon. Kasama ka na rin doon.
29:39.6
Natutuwa kasi, like, Shasha Padilla was my student. Hindi pa siya Shasha Padilla.
29:44.6
Pero wala kang kinumpost for her.
29:46.6
Well, unfortunately, wala akong naibigay na song sa kanya.
29:49.6
And yung time naman na nagbibigay ako ng song, hindi naman siya nagre-recording.
29:55.6
Probably, she's gonna be part of my anniversary concert.
29:57.6
May connection pa rin.
29:59.6
Di ba, may connection pa rin.
30:00.6
Di ba, naging music student mo siya.
30:02.6
Magsisharan, actually, once.
30:04.6
This is the very first time that you're holding a major concert in the Philippines.
30:10.6
Ano ang naging efekto nito sa'yo?
30:13.6
Nung pa pinaplano na namin with Vic de Rosario, sabi ko na mag-a-anniversary ako,
30:18.6
nungpang mga 10 years ago, that would have been my 35th anniversary,
30:22.6
but it did not materialize.
30:23.6
kasi hindi sa'kin madali umuwi rito eh because of my obligations in the US.
30:28.6
So that did not happen. And then, again, all in God's perfect time.
30:32.6
Ngayon, 45th year, sabi ko siguro I need to celebrate this milestone in my life.
30:37.6
So tinawagan ko si Boss Vic. He's the first person who came to mind.
30:41.6
And dapat lang kasi siya yung nag-discover sa'kin.
30:44.6
He was the person who gave me my break in the music industry.
30:47.6
So I'm really, really grateful to him.
30:50.6
So itong concert na ito is also, you know, number one, pasasalamat ko sa Diyos.
30:54.6
Pangalawa, pasasalamat ko sa mga tao who were part of my journey.
30:58.6
Vic De Rosario is one of them. My cousin, Charo Anita, is one of them.
31:02.6
Mr. George Boone is one of them. Mr. Homer Flores is my music director.
31:07.6
Siya ba yung musical director mo? Wow!
31:09.6
Yes. He's another person that I'm so grateful for.
31:11.6
Yung mga beautiful na arrangements, lahat ng mga, alam mo ba,
31:15.6
lahat halos ng hit songs ko, si Homer nag-arrange.
31:17.6
Ah talaga? Always?
31:18.6
Yeah. He arranged sana.
31:20.6
Napakabait. Napakagaling. Napakabait.
31:22.6
So it's you, special memory. Hi, Homer!
31:25.6
Even if, siya lahat halos nag-arrange. So reunion din for us, itong concert na ito.
31:31.6
Kahit kay Paps Fernando, siya ang MD niya.
31:36.6
O kay Paps, I think even the song, yung first single ni Paps, si Homer yan.
31:41.6
Di ba? Small world. Small world.
31:43.6
In your 40 years in the U.S., ano yung mga bagay na namimiss mo dito sa Pilipinas?
31:48.6
Did it come across?
31:49.6
Did it come across sa mind mo na parang sa ang dami, sa ang dami kong sinayang?
31:54.6
Alam mo, that's a good question. Kasi kahit kailan hindi ko iniisip yan eh, kung meron akong pinanghinayangan.
31:59.6
Palagay ko, ako yung isang tao na hindi ako nagre-regret. Wala akong pinanghinan.
32:05.6
Pinanghinayangan?
32:06.6
Pinanghinangayan. Ayun pa rin.
32:08.6
Ayun pa rin. Wala na lang ako.
32:12.6
No regrets. No regrets.
32:14.6
Sa mga naging decision ko sa buhay ko, kaya mali yung naging decision ko o tama.
32:18.6
Kasi kagaya na sinabi ko, kung ano man yung naging decision natin, kung mali man yun, meron tayong natutunan doon.
32:25.6
Meron naging purpose yun. Pinagtibay ka. You know, naging matatag ka sa pagkatao mo, sa pananampalataya mo.
32:33.6
Kaya when I made that decision to move to the U.S., pag ako kasi nag-walk away from something, I don't look back.
32:41.6
Talaga? Ganon ka? Ganon katindi yung ano mo talaga sa sarili mo na pag tinalikuran mo, tinalikuran mo.
32:48.6
No turning back. Kaya no regrets.
32:52.6
Pag doon, ang mentality, yung American mentality is more of I, me, myself.
32:57.6
Yeah. Liberated ang mga ano eh.
32:59.6
Yeah. Tayo dito, pag suot mo na, binati, ibibigay mo pa.
33:05.6
Diba? Diba? Kahit wala kang mapakain, isusubo mo na lang, ibibigay mo pa.
33:09.6
Yun ang namimiss ko, yung kung papaano magmahal ang mga Pinoy.
33:14.6
Kahit na hindi mo kilala, kikilala mo.
33:16.6
Pagka nagkaroon ka ng, if you're in trouble, masiraan ka sa gitna ng kalsada.
33:21.6
May tutulong sa'yo. May mga taong tutulong.
33:23.6
Sa Amerika, wala. Manigas ka. Matatakot pa silang lumapit sa'yo kasi baka masu, you know?
33:28.6
Yeah. So, ibang iba yung kultura.
33:31.6
But now kasi, you're in California na marami na rin Pilipino, kaya ando na rin yun.
33:37.6
Yung para ka na rin sa Pilipinas, nararamdaman mo na rin yung pagmamahal ng kapwa mo Pilipino.
33:44.6
Pero yung mga doon lumaki.
33:45.6
Lumaki. Naiba ang kanilang kinalakihan. Malungkot. Kasi hindi mo kilala yung mga kapitbahay mo.
33:51.6
At walang pakialamanan doon.
33:52.6
Walang pakialamanan.
33:54.6
Yan yung siguro yung una kong na-miss when I left for the US. Hindi mo kilala yung mga kapitbahay mo. Malungkot.
34:01.6
Other than you have your family and then you start making friends. But pretty much, you have to survive.
34:07.6
You have to be strong and you have to survive on your own. Pangalawang na-miss ko yung mga pagkain.
34:13.6
Yung Lutong Pinoy. Yung Lutong Pinoy. Iba yun. Diba? Oo.
34:16.6
Doon sa 40 years na yun, makailang beses ka na bumisita ng Pilipinas?
34:20.6
Well, since I left in 1984, the very first time I came back was 1988. Four years later. And it was because of Kuo Ledesma.
34:26.6
That's why I came back. She gave me a concert. We did a concert at music museum called Concerto in C.
34:32.6
So that was the first time that actually I was given a tribute of sorts where she featured all of my compositions in a concert.
34:40.6
And she featured also other singers. Ivo Laurel was part of that. Basta iba-ibang singers na kinanta yung kanta ko.
34:47.6
And Kuo, of course, sang most of it. But it was not my concert. It was, you know.
34:51.6
Parang special. Tribute sa'yo.
34:52.6
Tribute. Oo. But I did perform also. And then after that siguro, kumakaka-uwi ako ng mga every two or three years. I tried.
35:00.6
Pero yun lang. Pagbibisita ko, dalawang linggo, tatlong linggo.
35:04.6
Pag naalaala mo siguro yung mga songs na pinasikat ng mga sikat na singers like Basil, Gary.
35:09.6
Martin, Kule Desma, and everybody else. Did it come to a point na parang gusto mong bumalik?
35:17.6
Ipagpatuloy yung parang naputol na karera mo dito sa Pilipinas?
35:21.6
Kasi ang nangyari noon, nagkaroon na nang later on, narealize ko na pwede ko pa palang ipagpatuloy kahit na nandun ako sa Amerika.
35:30.6
Alam ko na hindi ko na pwedeng balikan eh. Kasi hindi ba sabi ko nga sa'yo, I don't look back. I only go forward.
35:37.6
But I realized that if I want to, I have to.
35:39.6
If I wanted to continue my career, I could continue writing and I could just give the songs to the singers or to the record company.
35:46.6
Pwede pang ipagpatuloy na without me being, yung kagandahan ng being a songwriter.
35:51.6
Alright. At saka iba rin yung ano ngayon eh. Iba rin yung panahon ngayon. Kahit malayo ka, pwede parang magkalapit pa rin kayo. Diba? Virtual na eh. Diba?
35:59.6
Papagdala mo na lang yung song mo.
36:01.6
And then they can record it.
36:02.6
Pero siyempre magkaiba na ngayon. During the 70s, 80s, even up to 90s, wala pang Spotify at that time. Diba ngayon?
36:08.6
Parang wala ng plaka, wala ng hindi na CD ang pinatutugtog. Diba? Anong take mo on this? Kasi siyempre, new generation to. Diba?
36:18.6
At inabutan pa natin. Siyempre, ibang iba yung nung panahon noon. Diba? Karim?
36:23.6
Nami-miss ko yun dati.
36:25.6
Yung meron kang plakang nilalagay sa yung…
36:28.6
Turn table. Yung tunog ng karayong.
36:32.6
If I can go back to that time, I prefer that.
36:36.6
Yung mga cassette tapes.
36:38.6
Kinakain ka, magkagalunin mo.
36:40.6
Lalagay mo ng ball pen.
36:41.6
Lalagay mo ng ball pen.
36:42.6
Ito mga bagong henerasyon, di nila alam yun. Di nila naranasan yun. Diba?
36:47.6
What did you do with your collection of albums, CDs, and even cassette tapes? Do you still have them?
36:52.6
I do. Actually, may meron pa akong mga cassette players na tinabi para I could still listen to my tapes. Meron din akong turntable pa.
37:02.6
You brought them to the States?
37:04.6
Ah, talaga. Parang may music library ka pa rin.
37:07.6
Kung i-rewind ang buhay mo, although may sinabi ka kanina, anong gusto mong balikan?
37:14.6
If I can rewind, masarap yung pinakamasaya talaga yung ano ko nung nagsisimula ako. Yung college days.
37:21.6
Yes. You were 19. Diba?
37:23.6
Yeah. Na nag-hang out ako sa Black Gold. You know, in anything, masarap balikan yung time na nagsisimula ka pala.
37:31.6
Napakasaya nung time na yun. Tapos, you know, you hang out in a room.
37:36.6
Andun lahat ng mga artist. And I have very beautiful memories of my Black Gold biker days.
37:42.6
Actually, hindi alam ng mga tao but I did backup vocals when I was in college.
37:47.6
Oh, yeah. Talaga.
37:49.6
Yeah. I was a guru to girls.
37:53.6
So, before I even made a name as a songwriter or voice teacher, ang ginagawa ko ng...
37:59.6
Siguro, ito yung isang masaya na na-enjoy ko, yung pagbabackup. And I was a backup singer for Basil.
38:05.6
I was a backup singer for Rico J. Puno. For Silas. Even Celeste, there was a time that I did backup for her.
38:10.6
Sila, Sampaguita, Anthony Castelo.
38:14.6
Diba? So, remember that?
38:16.6
Sila, Didi Treyes.
38:17.6
Yes. These are Vicar and Black Gold talents.
38:20.6
Sama ko nun yung mga, lahat ng mga concerts, nag-out of town, nagkumpita ko yung mga provincial tours. I enjoyed those days.
38:26.6
If there's a particular song that you wrote to describe yourself, ano yun? At bakit yun ang pinili mo?
38:34.6
A particular song that you wrote na magkaka-describe sa sarili mo?
38:37.6
Like what I said, pinaka-all-time favorite ko will be Lift Up Your Hands.
38:40.6
Cast your burdens upon me, those who are heavily laden.
38:43.6
Why? Because I have learned in life na kahit na anong pinagdadaanan mo, andyan ang Diyos lagi para sa'yo.
38:50.6
Yan na yung parang ano ko...
38:52.6
Universal ang kanyang message eh.
38:56.6
Parang yan na yung compass ko in my life, which points to Him. And that's also what I would like to impart, you know, to everybody.
39:03.6
Kasi kahit anong status mo sa buhay, kaya mayaman ka, mahirap ka, you're healthy, you're sick.
39:09.6
Let us always remember, kumbaga, you know na, at the end of our lives, babalik tayo sa Kanya.
39:16.6
Tapos yun, huwag tayo makakalimot. So yun ang gusto kong lagi kong i-remind ang sarili ko.
39:21.6
How do you want to be remembered?
39:23.6
Sa anak ko, sinasabi ko, if you will remember me, I want you to always think of me as somebody praying for you.
39:30.6
If I want my friends to remember me, my family.
39:33.6
Especially my son.
39:34.6
That you always have a mom who is praying for you.
39:37.6
My friends, I want them to remember me as somebody who's always praying for them.
39:42.6
So this is a woman. Pag nasa harap na sila ng aking puntod, this is a woman who prayed for me.
39:50.6
Minsahe mo sa anak mo.
39:52.6
If he's watching right now.
39:53.6
You know, mom loves you so much. And no matter what, I am always here for you. Always, I got your back.
40:01.6
Minsahe mo sa lahat.
40:02.6
Para sa lahat, I would give Matthew 11, 28.
40:06.6
Cast your burdens upon me, those who are heavily laden.
40:09.6
Come to me, all of you who are tired of carrying heavy loads.
40:12.6
Whatever you're going through in life, ang sarap na isipin that we can always cast all of our cares sa Panginoon.
40:20.6
Huwag kayong mawawala ng pag-asa. Ano man ang pinagdadaan mo sa buhay, tumawag lang tayo sa Panginoon.
40:26.6
And believe that nothing is impossible with God.
40:29.6
And of course, invite everybody sa iyong lahat.
40:32.6
