I actually saw Freddie Aguilar sing this in Olongapo as a kid living in Subic Bay back in 1977.

[@jhill384]

Since it was so long ago you probably remembered the wrong year. The song wasn't released until 1978.

[@Matuwituwina]

@@jhill384 he wrote and sing it in 1977 in Olongapo!!! That’s when it started!

[@dantealmazan2148]

You mean to say the song was already a part of Aguilar's repertoire in his appearance in Olongapo way before the Summer 1978 Metro Pop ? Are you really sure of that?

[@YYC403NOYP]

​@@dantealmazan2148 Very possible. He sang/previewed it at a bar before entering it at the festival. This song was his BREAKOUT song. The rest is history.

[@Hoops-Senior]

Nice version. the song wasn't about his son, though. It was about him and he wrote it for his parents, regretting and apologising for his wayward ways.

[@CheInFlorida]

The song "ANAK" is actually about Freddie Aguilar himself. I just watched his latest interview.

[@momobatongbakaltjif4136]

Mr. Walther's effort is really commendable, a gifted man with soul for music... and young people, too

[@marinealmaida2004]

That song composed by Freddie Aguilar has a universal message to every child at present and income child,

Sir I would just kiss your hands, I love your admiration for quality song. When this song is translated, it tells so much truth about the subject, the child. Oh and I love your unique additions of the harmonica, I can tell how much you love the tune. Also I love your brave accent…. You are totally awesome

[@mariloumamenta5563]

Wow impressive to sing it in our national language, Pilipino. The song is about bringing up a child the right way unfortunately the child grew up the wrong way, however even if the child became a bad person the parents still showed unconditional love for their child who at the end became remorseful for all his/her mistakes

[@Imie6789]

thanks for singing anak sir..salute u

[@Ymanntronics]

Amazing, Mabuhay!

[@hombrepobre9646]

the reason why every tongue translated it to their own is because everybody has a child, it only happens that a singer from the philippines first thought of it.

[@junpeihatori5905]
