Composer Gerwin Villa was very thankful that he was given another opportunity to let his song be heard once again in ASOP. He didn't even expect that it would reach the finals for this month.
Ms. Pinky Amador, our guest judge for the episode, commented that Gerwin's song is "radio friendly." She wouldn't be surprised if people would hear it being played over the radio or being downloaded in iTunes and Youtube.
As for the interpreter of the song who is the former frontman of Rivermaya, Jayson Fernandez, he was thankful as well. He expressed his admiration for the song and born fondness for the composer as they have been collaborating for the song interpretation since they got the news that they would compete again. Being a songwriter himself, he said that he learned a lot of things from the our judges' comments every time he 'visits' ASOP as an interpreter.
It was an episode apart from others, so to speak, because we have witnessed how four songs were skillfully interpreted by our guest artists and what a song composition does when it is carefully and ardently written - you have an audience leaving the theater with hope in their hearts that whatever comes their way, there is Someone who bears their pains and tears.
To GOD be the glory!
