00:04 You also continued to write songs for other singers.
00:10 And I think one of the most prominent songs you did was Sharon's Mr. DJ.
00:14 [music]
00:27 I was ordered by Senator Soto, who is now a senator.
00:32 And I think he's not in the GMA anymore.
00:36 [laughs]
00:38 I'm just kidding.
00:40 What's funny is that Sharon Cuneta is a very small,
00:44 very big singer who sings nursery rhymes,
00:48 and she sings a lot of love songs.
00:53 So my dilemma was, I was working at Vicorn during that time,
00:58 and he was ordering me to do this project with Sharon.
01:02 I didn't know how to do it.
01:06 Back then, I didn't have a car, so I was just driving a jeep to the monument in Maycoa.
01:13 You know, when it rains, you can't drive a jeep.
01:17 So I was driving, you know, the step?
01:20 Right, before you get in the jeep.
01:22 I was sitting in front of the road.
01:24 Then the raindrops, right?
01:26 [sings]
01:30 That's how it came from.
01:32 So all the songs, melodies, lyrics, all of them, came to my mind.
01:37 So when I got home, when I got off that jeep,
01:39 You wrote it?
01:41 Yes. No, I wrote it on the cassette.
01:43 You didn't know, you just wrote it on the cassette.
01:45 You made a record.
01:47 It became one of the biggest hits.
01:51 I told my uncle, "I'm sorry, I don't have a demo."
01:56 He didn't let me listen to it.
01:58 But he did let me listen to the song.
02:00 He said, "This is a goldmine."
02:02 Your uncle liked it.
02:04 I don't know what he meant by that at that time.
02:06 I was thinking that I was just finished or I was just in the middle of my dilemma or problem.
02:13 Great.
02:15 But he understood the implication during that time.
02:19 Thank you so much, Don Sire.
02:20 For all the things that you've done.
02:22 And thank you for all the music that you've done for the Filipino people.
02:25 This is from the bottom of my heart.
02:27 Thank you so much.
02:29 Thank you.
02:30 Thank you.
02:32 Thank you.
02:33 Thank you.
02:34 Thank you.
02:35 Thank you.
02:36 Thank you.
02:37 Thank you.
02:38 Thank you.
02:39 Thank you.
02:40 Thank you.
02:41 Thank you.
02:43 Thank you.
02:44 Thank you.
02:45 Thank you.
02:46 Thank you.
02:47 Thank you.
02:48 Thank you.
02:49 Thank you.
