Three songs are interpreted by their own composers: "Nasaan" by Lara Maigue, "Paratingin Mo Na Siya" by Davey Langit, and "Triangulo" by Thyro Alfaro and Yumi Lacsamana, with Jeric Medina as special guest.
The composers and interpreters were presented in a special launch by Philpop and Viva Records at the ballroom of the new Hive Hotel, hosted by the competent Patricia Hizon and presented by Maynilad and Meralco, with Smart, Spinnr and PLDT Home Telpad. You can enjoy the songs and later, the music videos, thru PLDT Home Telplad, the official content platform of Philpop 2015. The lyric videos are now also available on Viva youtube.Most of the entries this year are really outstanding. Our personal favorite is Paul Armesin's inspirational "Tanging Pag-asa Ko", rendered by the Company with the soaring solo vocals of OJ Mariano. But for the young ones, we're sure they'll favor the catchy "Musikaw". For senti lovers, the choice will be Lara Maigue's haunting "Nasaan" and Lara's fantastic interpretation of her own "hugot" song composition is really difficult to top. That doesn't mean to say the others don't have a chance because we're also banking on "Apat na Buwang Pasko", "Triangulo" and "Paratingin Mo Na Siya" that all have its own charms. If we're the judge, it would really be very tough to choose just one winner.
