I never listened to this song the way as special as this. I salute all Filipinos who sacrifice being away from home to give a better future for their family.

[@eunicederenne6098]

Thousands of Filipinos in Hawaii have sacrificed to come so they can work and send back monetary support to their struggling families in the Philippines. My father came in 1931. My mother came in 1946. They labored so hard on the pineapple plantation so their families here and in the Philippines can do better. What a sacrifice! Now I'm doing the same and helping our poor relatives there.

Napakagandang umawit. Napakagaling na maestro. We are so blessed with this brother-sister tandem. Lea and Gerard, may you continue to make beautiful music for many years to come. ❤☺

[@tonysaldana6071]

One of those rare Tagalog tunes composed by the prolific songsmith Jose Mari Chan with lyrics by Jimmy D. Santiago originally sung by Anthony Castelo during the 3rd(1980) Metro Manila Popular Music Festival. It did not win the grand prize but reigns supreme in every OFW's heart. Beutifully sung by Lea who was only 10 years old when this song first hit the airwaves.

[@lapuk1472]

It's not Jose Mari who composed this song

[@alvinnicolasora2795]

yes he did

[@neksy6178]

buti pa sa ibang bansa nirespeto si ms. lea salonga worldwide, samantala sa pilipinas esp. mga dds minumura, nilalait at sabihin pa na walang utang na loob pero pag ma recognized naman sya ulit sasabihin ila PROUD FILIPINO HERE....mga bastos kayo na naglait kay miss lea.

[@nerissairigoyen3315]

Nakakaiyak naman :( Kaway kaway sa mga di makakauwi ng Pinas ngayong pasko. Yakap tayong mahigpit 🥺🥺

[@j.b.7711]

True. Maganda pero Nakkaiyak version niya. Tagos ...ramdam ang homesick ... home is where the heart is

[@lostthenerd]

I know Lea is such an amazing singer, the emotions in her voice is so overwhelming, it really made me cry how she sang the song. But damn, the appreciation I have for the orchestra, they made the song as emotional as Lea's singing. The music is so beautifully done, so majestic and very emotional. Kudos to everyone, from the very small staff, musicians, and also Lea for bringing up such wonderful performances!❤️😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Greetings to the owner and guests of this channel. I love this song very much because it gets me into the heart of every Filipino who left their own country, searching for a greener pasture for the love of their family and country. I felt also as my own, their owns pains and sacrifices they experienced of leaving their home and the various struggles and challenges, that they all experienced while working in foreign land. Likewise I pray and sympathize with them too, both their joys and sufferings they may encounter in the journey of life. Hope all Filipinos too who works abroad will always call on God for help and anchored their life to Him so that by Gods grace they will be strengthens all the more in facing various circumstances of life. For me, these Filipinos are the modern Philippine heroes, that deserves our appreciation and recognition in our own little way. Hope and pray that their hard works and sacrifices for years, God will reward it with good fruits in abundance. Also that their own family too will try to manage and take care very carefully whatever goods entrusted to them for their common good. Artist Lea, performed this song very well, with great feelings and emotions. It is very realistic, practical and natural approach. Every performance of Lea is always beautiful, outstanding performance and high quality content. I do not doubt at all because ... since childhood until now, she has been proven and tested for years of hard work and sacrifices in her talents and career, and not only that, winning an international musical competition is not that easy, but she make it with flying colors all the way through. Ms Lea Salonga is my all time favorite among Filipino artists, of which I highly look up to, not only because she is a world class high quality artists, but also her attitude of being a very positive and confident artist, tough and head up in facing every difficulty. This is the trademark and great legacy of Lea as an artist. I know that music industry is a promising career but at the same time, it is also very stressful and demanding. Thanks to Lea for her perseverance and patience in developing her career to the optimum level of what it is now. My gratitude also to her family who builds her up strongly and supported her all the way through of her life and career. Indeed, I would say, that The Philippines owed Lea greatly. Winning an international prestigious awards, it also means that she also raise up every Filipino and our country up high with great dignity and honor. Once again, thanks Lea for your great service to us through your talents and your music. Wish you all good and Gods blessings in your professional career and family. God Bless, take care and keep safe. Very sorry indeed, for my lengthy piece. Gratefully yours, Ester Rabi, Philippines, South East Asia

Love you loads. Wait now back to Lea... yes very heartfelt and girl you conquered the Sidney Opera House wow!!!! 👏👏👏

You are an angel, Ms Lea. Your voice is saving a lot of people from sadness. Saranghae💖

[@ArtCalizon]

If there would be a movie about Miriam Santiago, Lea Salonga is the best choice to play her and Lea would earn an Oscar nomination ❤

[@gurugeri]

Great singing as always! It felt a little special being sung across borders, where Filipinos are abundant. They were so lucky to see her perform. Thanks, Lea for this song!

She was probably 9 yo when she debuted at the Insular Life Auditorium along Ayala Avenue. I received my Gold Medal from the Insular Life having graduated from Elementary as a Valedictorian. I saw her sing one of the songs from the musical "Annie". She was already a sensation as a child star.
