00:00Mamang Sorbitero was written by Joe Marichan.
00:09I really didn't know that.
00:11We were doing research on your songs.
00:14You know, there's this one,
00:15Joe wrote Mamang Sorbitero?
00:17At first, he had written it to be Mr. Songwriter.
00:21But he wrote it because the formula of Saranggola worked.
00:27I moved recording company,
00:29and the recording company wanted another one
00:31that's similar to Saranggola.
00:33That's the technique.
00:34Yes.
00:35Of the managers, for example,
00:36and the recording executives back then.
00:38I don't know if this is the practice now.
00:40If your song, for example, was a hit,
00:42don't remove the second song.
00:45You know that Mamang Sorbitero,
00:48there's a Buduts version.
00:50Do you know that?
00:51No, no.
00:52No, it's used in all Zumba classes
00:55in the entire Metro Manila.
00:58Looking forward to that.
01:00Now, I'm going to go to the Ernani Cuenco song,
01:03Gaano Ko Ikaw Kamahal.
01:05That was a surprise hit for me.
01:08You didn't expect it?
01:09I didn't expect it.
01:10That was in the same album where Saranggola ni Pepe,
01:13and Tuliro, where?
01:16Ang Walang Gamatayang Tuliro.
01:19Saranggola ni Pepe was already a hit.
01:22I said to myself,
01:23maybe that was the hit of that album.
01:25Maybe a year later,
01:27I would be performing for parties or whatever,
01:30and I'd be requested to do Gaano Ko Ikaw Kamahal.
01:33And I'd ask the audience,
01:34how do you know that song?
01:36I know, it's being played.
01:38It became a hit that I didn't even know.
01:41Gaano Ko Ikaw Kamahal.
01:42The beauty of the song,
01:45the beauty of the lyrics,
01:46that's why it became a hit.
01:51Isn't that nice?
01:52And this is written and composed by two national artists?
01:54Yes, Levy Silerio and Ernani Coenco.
01:57You've been listening to the new singers today.
02:00What is your assessment?
02:02Some of them are very, very good.
02:04Stell of SB19 is absolutely fabulous.
02:08Yes.
02:09Napakagaling niya.
02:10And Julian San Jose is very, very good.
02:13Excellent, excellent.
02:14So some of them are very, very good.
02:16And who are very committed.
02:18And very committed.
02:19And very professional.
02:21Because I just got to work with a lot of young people in a series
02:25and everybody was focused and committed and disciplined.
02:29I was very happy to see that.
