00:00 Bernaldo, you are an independent artist. How did your passion for music start?

00:07 Before that, hello to all our viewers here at PTV4.

00:13 It really started since teenage days.

00:18 That was our outlet when we were teenagers, adventure.

00:21 So I was fond of music because my older brothers were also inclined to music.

00:28 As a singer-songwriter, what are your inspirations for writing songs?

00:35 You know, the generation is different now.

00:37 How did you adapt? How do you compose songs now that are compatible?

00:45 That's one of our obstacles or challenges, being able to be compatible with music.

00:50 But actually, just give your all, your feeling, your being an artist.

01:00 Just release it, it's okay.

01:01 If you compare it to pop music now, we just don't know how to appreciate all the music.

01:10 As a teacher, how do you manage your profession?

01:14 You teach and you also have a different life in the music industry.

01:19 What are the challenges you encounter? Do your students watch you?

01:24 Sometimes, my students ask me, "Is that really you?"

01:28 They're watching me on TV or something, a guest on a show.

01:32 The adjustment is easy because music for me is not a job.

01:37 Our job, our profession, and our family is really the biggest problem.

01:43 There are challenges in our daily lives.

01:47 Then, you just sit down to relax.

01:51 I don't have a hard time managing my music and my career.

02:02 So, by profession, you teach and you have a different life in your art and passion.

02:09 It's nice to see the two sides of us.

02:13 This is my world on the other side, and this is my world on the other side.

02:15 It's a different community. I have a friend who is my teacher, and I have a friend who is my music.

02:22 What is the song that you composed that inspired you?

02:31 The song that really struck me is "Hinulog Lang."

02:37 It was actually included in the 2020 Grand Finals of the Venice Art Tournament Songwriting Contest.

02:43 The message of the song is social relevance.

02:48 This is the music that was nominated for the PNPC Star Awards.

02:56 Is it about the environment?

02:59 Yes, it's about the environment.

03:01 We're all spread out in the environment.

03:04 Is that your inspiration? Do you have love songs?

03:09 Yes, I have love songs. When I was young, I had love songs.

03:13 We have a concern for our society.

03:21 We're all growing up. That's our inspiration.

03:25 Do you think that this song, "Hinulog Lang," has a concern for the environment?

03:30 Should it be noticed by young people?

03:34 Should this be the way to wake them up?

03:37 Especially now that we have to take care of our environment.

03:42 It's good to teach our children.

03:45 I use it as a lesson to my profession.

03:48 We should love our environment no matter what happens.

03:52 Is that the genre of Joey Ayala?

03:56 Maybe it's one of my inspirations.

03:59 His target is to bring back the awareness of the environment.

04:06 Are you going to release this album by December?

04:11 Have you already done it?

04:13 The songs are already selected.

04:17 We're just packaging it.

04:19 We're just waiting for it.

04:21 Thank you for sharing your story with us.

04:23 This Tuesday morning, Noel Bernaldo.

04:26 We won't take too long.

04:28 Here's his song.

04:30 Thank you.

04:32 [Music]

04:50 I have a paper that fell on the road

04:54 My mother just fell asleep as she passed by

04:58 I read the ATM receipt

05:02 She just fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep

05:08 I was in a jeep and I smiled

05:12 While I was driving, the buko shake was dripping

05:16 But I was shocked when she suddenly threw up

05:20 She just fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep

05:25 Oh, when will we wake up from our mistakes?

05:33 Are you ready to be a bad person who pollutes the environment?

05:42 [Music]

05:59 So I went down to the river

06:03 My mother's vegetables are in the pot

06:07 Suddenly thrown into the river

06:11 She just fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep

06:16 Oh, I just took a short break

06:21 As I continued my journey

06:25 Suddenly I slipped on a banana peel

06:31 She just fell asleep

06:35 Oh, when will we wake up from our mistakes?

06:42 Are you ready to be a bad person who pollutes the environment?

06:51 Oh, when will we wake up from our mistakes?

06:58 Are you ready to be a bad person who pollutes the environment?

07:08 Oh, my story is not yet finished

07:12 I witnessed it from the hospital's back

07:16 Her medicines are red and yellow

07:20 She just fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep

07:29 When I went up to San Pedro

07:34 He asked me, "What did you do?"

07:38 I said, "Nothing." He got angry

07:41 She just fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep

07:45 She just fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep

07:56 [Music]

08:03 Will tears ever heal?

08:07 If every hour is filled with thoughts of you

08:14 Will love ever return?

08:18 If every feeling is constantly rejected?

08:25 Will heaven wait for me

08:29 If I confess that I'm not ready to change?

08:36 Will my breath still listen to me

08:40 If in every breath it's not

08:43 Will I be able to fall?

08:48 [Music]

08:57 Do I need to learn to love again?

09:01 And look for a new replacement in your heart?

09:08 Will you still give or will you forget?

09:13 I ask that the world stop for a moment

09:19 Will heaven wait for me

09:23 If I confess that I'm not ready to change?

09:30 Will my breath still listen to me

09:34 If in every breath it's not

09:37 Will I be able to fall?

09:41 Will heaven wait for me

09:45 If I confess that I'm not ready to change?

09:51 Will my breath still listen to me

09:56 If in every breath it's not

09:59 Will I be able to fall?

10:03 [Music]

10:12 Oh, you're still the one my heart is calling

10:17 I'm still looking for your embrace

10:23 Oh, I'm still yours, I'll give my heart

10:28 I'll give everything to you, even my life

10:34 Will heaven wait for me

10:39 If I confess that I'm not ready to change?

10:45 Will my breath still listen to me

10:50 If in every breath it's not

10:52 Will I be able to fall?

10:56 Will heaven wait for me

11:00 If I confess that I'm not ready to change?

11:06 Will my breath still listen to me

11:11 If in every breath it's not

11:14 Will I be able to fall?

11:19 [Music]

11:26 Will heaven wait for me

11:30 [Music]
