right where everyone can see it, and Christmas In Our Hearts will be heard

ot everyones lucky enough to be able to do something they love for a living, especially

n if their passion lies in the arts. The starving artist stereotype still holds true, especially
when youve got a market oversaturated with millennial creatives all aiming to make it
big. In such a cutthroat industry, youve got to have guts and grit to succeed. And though
petite photographers Andrea Beldua and Mandy Martinez look like they can be blown away by the
wind any moment, make no mistake: these ladies have paid their dues to their craft and wont let
anything stop them from taking the perfect shot.

Whats your favorite subject to
shoot?
Mandy: It would probably be
my friends. For me, its still the
person that makes the photo, not
the fancy styling or the makeup.
Andrea: I think what I love doing
best is shooting backstage during
fashion shows. Its everything
combined: I love shooting people
and clothes, and I love capturing
moments. Its the energy
capturing the energy and the
kaguluhan before the actual
show. I love when theyre all
changing and everyones in action
and everyones taranta, and there
are clothes and makeup strewn
everywhere. Its like a glimpse
talaga into how the industry
really is.
How would you describe your
shooting style?

people have told me that they can
tell my style from how I edit it,
because it looks like its shot with
filmsomething like that. But Im
still experimenting and seeing
what works for me.
Andrea: I think my photos are
mostly cinematic and filmic. Very
moody. I think you can tell my
photos were taken by a woman,
its really my branding talaga.
How can you tell if a photo was
taken by a man or a woman?
Andrea: When I look at a photo,
I would be 90 percent correct
when I say na alam ko na kuha
ng babae o kuha ng lalaki. Lalo
na when the model is a girl. Like,
our idea of sexy is very organic
in the way na its sensual. When
a man directs a models pose,
sometimes, I can tell talaga
because he d make her move or
sit differently. Thats not how she
sits. Thats not how she places
her fingers or her hands over her
knee. Small things like that...
Mas matigas ang kuha ng lalaki.
How do you make women more
comfortable in front of a camera,
especially when shes wearing
something sexy?
Mandy: I would compliment her
a lot. Usually, when Im shooting
models wearing bikinis, Im
gonna be in a bikini as well,
so its not awkward, and also
because I dont want an ugly tan
with a t-shirt on me! But yeah, if
its indoor, and its for a bralette
or something, I usually just keep
checking on them. Ill be like, Are
you okay? Is this okay? Do you
want to cover up?
Has a guy ever hit on you while
you were shooting?
Andrea: Yup. Happens all the
time. If Im attracted to the guy,
like if hes my model, I feel like
sometimes it creates a certain
twitter.com/fhmphil fhmphilofficial
kind of tension that translates
well in photos. But other times,
its just, Yo, this is weird man.
Can we be professional about it?
Mandy: For me, its more of the
bystanders, the random people
around, but no one whos actually
part of the team or something.
So how was your experience
during this shoot?
Mandy: Exciting. Ive never
had this kind of shoot where I
was shooting another female
photographer while she was
shooting me. [To Andrea] Have
you ever done this before?
Andrea: No, never. This is the
first time.
Mandy: Its so fun!
Andrea: Kasi we get it eh. Like,
we have a rapport. Like, were
both photographers and we both
kind of know how to move and
how to direct each other.
Mandy: We kind of just know
what the other person wants
already. We just need to say
something, and shell be like,
gotchu.
Andrea: Its so easy, and I wish
we had more time!
Mandy: And its a nice experience
when the model freaks out about
the light just as much as you do.
[laughs]
How does it feel to be in front of
the camera for a change?
Andrea: Mandys always in front
of the camera. [laughs]
Mandy: Its weird, but in a way,
its a big learning experience. Its
a different kind of nervousness,

Andrea: I think its super fun,
but also at the same time, I was
worried that I would overdirect
myself, like I would be super
aware because Im super anal
about shit. I felt like I was going
to be microdirecting, which I
tend to do a lot when I ask other
people to take photos of me. But
when we got started, I was like,
You know what, I trust Mandy.
Mandy: Aww!
Andrea: I trust her. I was
relaxed, and it felt really great to
put that kind of trust in another
artists hands, so I could let go
in a way. Because Im always
so tense, like, I want to get it
right, you know? I thought I
was gonna be like that. I was
worried. But I had so much fun!

How to be a better Instagram Boyfriend according to Andrea Beldua

Dont stop taking
photos.
take lots of candids,
[when] theyre relaxed and
not posed. dont just take
it when theyre just posing.
take it when theyre fixing
their hair or their clothes,
and show it to them every
once in a while so they can
pose properly and then
if they want jump shots or
whatever, i-burst niyo so
theyd have options. but if you want to save
Composition matters.
I never take the grid off of
from my camera because I
use it a lot.
Overexposed or
underexposed?
when youre shooting
outdoors, it would be better
to turn it down a bit so
when they edit it, they can
save the highlights instead
of it being overexposed.
the details, of the sky for
example, remember that
a phone camera usually
exposes the darkest part,
so nabo-blow out yung
highlights. thats why
the sky doesnt appear
blueits white. this is why
you should focus it first, if
youre on an iphone, just
tap on the shadows, then
after its focused, you can
turn the exposure down.
Play with the light.
the light makes a huge
difference. for example, if
she wants herself in front of
this whole thing but shes
facing against the light, its
not gonna be as good.
Shoot from below.
the phone camera
has a wide angle lens,
so whatever is at the
sides [of the photo],
nagiging distorted siya,
so humahaba siya. so you
dont want to go in too
close because madi-distort
yung face. but if you
want to take a whole body
shot, take it from medyo
underneath. Ilayo mo, and
then tilt up so that the legs
look longer. and then make
sure her head is not hitting
the top part [of the frame]
or its going to be distorted.
the angle should always be
eye level, or from below so
that they look taller.

phoTography 101

STick To The baSicS
I guess when it comes to
landscape photography, its best
to stick to the basic photography
rules, like the rule of thirds and
the foreground, middle ground,
background. that would make a
good landscape photo.

donT be afraid To zoom in

with travel photography, I
either go super close, like I take
details, or super far shots. I think
with landscape photography,
composition is so key.

either be a building, or maybe a

how to play with the light that is
available. know how to make use
of the available light and how to
incorporate it into the story you

When photo shoots become a
bit too intimate
Most people cut their hair after a breakup.
Some people shop for a new wardrobe or find
a new hobby. Ive done all these and yet I still
dont feel any better.
Its been almost two months since I
broke up with my ex, Joseph. He was my first
everything. We started dating in high school,
even went to the same college, but only to
find out he was screwing around for the past
year. It ruined me because Im the good girl, a
homebody, that someone thats the take-her-to-
meet-the-parents type. But after the breakup, I
realized its never too late to be adventurous.
I signed up for a nude photo shoot. My
friend mentioned that she knew two student
filmmakers, Mitzi and Jay, who were looking
for open-minded and brave volunteers
willing to pose nude for one of those artsy,
experimental, photography projects. I
contacted them and they said any body type
is fine, which is a relief because I really wasnt
sure if short-haired, petite girls like me would
ever get invited to do nude photoshoots.
The shoot was going to be held in Mitzis
18 FH M SEPTEMBER 2017
condo unit, which was also a makeshift studio.
I arrived at around 5 PM and was greeted by a
long-legged Chinita sporting a pixie cut and a
rugged-looking moreno guy whose hair was tied
in a ponytail. I didnt know which one of them
was sexier: Mitzi, whose breasts were popping
out of her white V-neck shirt or Jay, whose arms
were bulging out of his blue long sleeved polo.
"Hi you must be Vanessa. Im Mitzi and
this is Jay."
"Thanks a lot for volunteering," Jay said.
"Well mostly do close-up shots of various
parts of your body. You can change in the
bathroom," he said as he handed me a white
bathrobe and a thong.
I went to the bathroom and took off all
my clothes. I was surprised to see that my
underwear was pretty moist. I ran a finger
down my clit and felt my wetness. I didnt
realize how the idea of doing a nude shoot
with hot people excited me so much.
When I got out, the lights were dimmed.
The living room was empty except for a black
carpet and a makeshift black backdrop. I

slowly took off my robe hoping that the thong
I wore could cover up how wet i was getting.
Mitzi instructed me to sit on the carpet with
my legs stretched out in front of me. She also
helped me put on nipple tape.
"Well do your legs first," Jay said.
The next few minutes were all about
stretching and bending. Mitzi coached my
poses while Jay took photos of my shoulders,
neck and back. I couldnt tell if either of them
found me sexy but I secretly wished they did.
After a few minutes of taking close-ups
of my belly, Jay and Mitzi reviewed the photos
they took.
"Vanessa, we noticed that we havent
taken any photos of your thighs. Do you mind
lying down and opening your legs a little bit?"
Mitzi asked.
I felt myself blush as I spread my legs. Jay
knelt down between my legs as Mitzi watched
us. Damn he was so close now. *Click* It was
impossible for him to ignore my scent. *Click*
Jay put my right leg up and I saw him breathe
deeply. I felt the nipple tapes slowly peeling
off because of how erect my nipples were
getting. *Click* Fuck, the thong had gotten
so wet it started to stick to the insides of my
very moist lips. *Click* I was pretty sure my
pussy was exposed so I motioned for Mitzi to
help me fix it. To my surprise, Mitzi reached
out and pulled off the thong completely.
She knelt between my legs and slid a

know you were a naughty girl," Jay said
grinning at me. "And fucking tight too," Mitzi
added. Jay knelt beside me and sucked my
breasts. "Hmmmm I moaned, arching my
back as he gently bit my nipple.
Jay pushed me down and straddled my
face. His hulking figure towered over me as I
unzipped his pants and took his cock out. He
let out a huge moan when I wrapped my lips
around his head. "Ugghhhh yes baby, take
it all in," he groaned thrusting in and out of
my tiny mouth. Jay was just starting to gain
speed when I felt Mitzis tongue on my clit.

Jays cock went all the way down my throat
while Mitzi kept putting more fingers inside me.
Just when I thought it couldnt get any better,
Mitzi put my legs up and began eating my
ass. She inserted a finger inside my asshole
and fuck, it felt so good I wanted to scream.
Jays thrusts went deeper and faster.
"God baby, Im cumming tighter... fuck yes
ahhh... FUCK!" Jay let out a groan as he came
into my throat. He suddenly pulled out and
released his remaining cum onto my breasts.
But Mitzi wasnt done. Ugh fuck
fuck so hot ugh shit! I kept moaning
as Mitzi fucked my asshole while her other
hand rubbed my clit. Mitzi oh stop
please ahhhhhh!" My orgasms came one
after the other. "Cum for me," Mitzi said as she
continued rubbing my clit roughly. Her fingers
kept pushing into my asshole sending me over
the edge. "Im cumming oh shit aah fuck!"
Mitzi licked my pussy and Jays remaining
cum on my breasts. Jay chuckled and said, "Well,
that was fun." I was still breathless and weak.
"Fun? But I havent had my turn yet," Mitzi
said licking her lips as she sat on my face.

If the world ends tomorrow, will you be ready?
It isnt even the question of if, but
when and how. Take your pick: mega-
earthquake, zombie invasion, mutant virus.
The plague, angry aliens, super volcanoes.
Mocha becoming president.
So it always pays to listen to (or even
awaken) the paranoid in you because when it
comes to post-apocalyptic preparation,
the fact is: you can never be too
prepared. So, rather than waiting for

If youre looking for a free-to-play game that taxes your brain more than the usual
shooter or tower defense, then a collectible card game is for you. In particular, we like
the now open-beta* Gwent: The Witcher Card Game.
The most immediate difference from other card games is that winning in Gwent
is a best-of-three affair. You also draw your entire hand at the beginning and only
pluck an additional two, then one card in the succeeding rounds. This gives it a faster
pace compared to other games, like Hearthstone, with less dead air at the start while
you wait for cards or mana to stack up. To win a round, you need to have a higher
numerical total strengthspread across three rows. Strategy and math wins the day Ves
over mindless tapping, but laced with the same addictive sense of daily progression of
other F2P titles.

And when you graduate,
you need to go into a

using the coding and
statistics. The demand for
these skills is extremely high in the
Philippines. but with Data Seer, we
can hire fresh graduates with no
double degrees; we help them grow.

we pay our graduates P25,000 a

paid P100,000, if theyre good.
We train people on data

30 people in a class, coming from
various companies. They send their
people to learn these skills because
they are so in-demand.
What we try to teach people is
how not to become obsolete.
Take a look at the call center industry.
it went from 200,000 workers a
decade ago to 1.2 million currently.
without the call center industry
those people would not be earning
P20,000-P40,000 a month. Now we
have a middle-class. but because
of machine learning and artificial
intelligence, all 1.2 million of those
workers are going to be obsolete
in ten years. Theyre going to be
replaced by chat-bots and voices run
by a machine that answer calls. So
what we do is help people learn skills
that will enable them to play defense
in a new digital economy.

I failed 28 units. Seriously. la Salle
almost kicked me out.
All I had was P2,000 to start a
company. i built the site, wrote, and
closed my first deals. i was actually
doing it for my first blog, so it was all
personal. One thing i realized early
was that i had to increase my traffic,
because i had very few readers.
Google told me the best way to
do it is to be specific. because
when people search for something,
they already want to consume
content, or buy a product. when
you are in social media, youre just
killing time. [if your website is your
business], people that come to your
site from Facebook are not that
relevant; people coming from google
are. Search traffic is very powerful.
Thats when i realized i should turn my
blog into a business. Search Engine
Optimization is basically the art and
the science behind search engines
like google, yahoo and bing, coming
up with target keywords and all that.
Now that were a company, I can
hire, and I look for three skill
sets. you have to be able to write,
code, and sell.
I dont hire mercenaries; I hire
missionaries. People who will take

A L C A N TA R A

I L L U S T R AT I O N S
M E LV I N
CALINGO
i m th e t yp e o f p e r s o n whos willing to try anything once but when i w a s
a s k e d by f h m to write about the m o d e r n g b (aka Gentlemans Bar ) scene in
the style of the classic El Gimikero column more than a decade past, i i m m e d i at e ly
th o u g h t, i m i g ht n ot b e the most qualified person to write this.
Ive never been to a gentlemens bar
before, believe it or not. I never really
understood why someone would pay
ridiculous amounts of money just to
have a good time out when these days,
all you need to do is go on Tinder or
some other dating app to be able to
hook up. But hey, Im not one to diss
something till I try it myself.
I wanted to hit a diverse selection of
gimikans, so I asked a more experienced
gimikero to point me in the right direction.
Luckily for me, he went beyond the code
of brotherhood and got me some VIP
treatment in a well-hidden KTV bar called
Veneto Luna, in Ortigas. There was a bevy
of girls to pick from their lineup, most
of them could even pass for professional
models. A great tip to know when going to
KTV bars is to always make the managers
your beshies, or in this case your
mamshies. Contrary to popular belief,
it doesnt matter if they know that youre
a first timer. If you play your hand right,
special treatment for beginners is totally
possible. Look for Mami Gina to hook you
up with some of her best girls.
There are five kinds of girls in
Veneto Luna: receptionists, stage girls,
performers, VIPs, and models. You can
get stage girls and VIPs to stay in the
VIP room with you for P2,000 each
for a couple of hours. The receptionist,
performers, and models arent for VIP
rooms. They usually just come up on stage
to entertain guests with their numbers.
The stage is usually filled by either street
dancers or models; if you squint your
eyes a bit, the scene would look like a
lesser version of Wowowin minus the
overbearing host and free jackets.
All in all, the experience was pretty
solid, except for the fact that things got a
bit too pricey and I ended up not having
enough cash on hand. The walk of
shame to the ATM wasnt as bad as I had
thought until we discovered that all five
ATMs at the compound were out of order.
We had to take a little road trip with kuya
guard trying to find the nearest ATM we
could get cash from.
Lesson learned: Always bring twice as
much as you expect to spend just in case
you lose track of how much you guys
order; in our case, we spent P10,000/head
for the four hours we were there, which
was barely enough to have some real
fun with the girls. Another tip: Try to
keep an eye on how many shots the girls
order, because the drinks and food are
expensive. We say load up on some cheap
fastfood and even cheaper drinks before
heading out.
Of course, you dont really need to
shell out if you have the patience and
willingness to invest your time and
effort. My fellow gimikero recounted to
me (in great detail) his past experiences
with the girls at these bars. You can get
any girl there at no cost, you just have
to charm them. Hindi naman ako gwapo
pero Ive never paid a girl just to have
some fun. Just get her number tapos
landiin mo and meet up sometime when
shes not working. Thats when you get
to show her a real good time.
social climbing
This is easier said than done for a newbie
like myself, good thing there are places
like Primero Room 526 at the Fort. For
P2,000, you get to be classy for an hour,
complete with a coat that theyll let you
wear, and unlimited drinks for you (but
not the girls). Every hour thereafter
costs you a thousand.
The place has a fairly different
system from other bars because the
girls rotate every 15 minutes, much like
speed dating. You get to learn essential
gimikero skills like making strong first
impressions, keeping a conversation
interesting, and most importantly,
asking a girl to meet up outside and
being able to seal the deal.
Sample conversation:
"Taga-saan ka?
Ah malapit lang dito, sir. Kayo po?
Ay perfect
Bakit sir?
Para hindi hassle mamaya kapag
iuuwi mo na ako.
Consider the Ladies' drinks as a
separate bill. Prices reach up to P4,000
an hour if youre planning to buy each
girl you meet on rotation at least one
drink. Needless to say, our budget ran
low fast so we decided to hit a more cost-
effective place nexta beer bar named,
Gentlemens Bar along Shaw Boulevard.
bang for your buck
Seriously, this place is great if you and
your friends just want to chill with
some girls. True, the girls here arent
as well-spoken as the girls from the
previous places, but you'd be foolish to
ignore them as well. Another quick tip I
observed is the amount of ladies' drinks
you buy for the girls greatly increases
www.fhm.com.ph
as they become more adventurous while
theyre with you. Another gimikero
we invited tried to put his arm around
a girls shoulder but she placed his
arm around her waist instead. Then
he ordered her a second drink and got
a very exciting dance number done in
front of him. Everyone knows that if you
treat these girls right, theyll reciprocate
that affection as well. The whole visit
cost P1,732 for three people. If thats not
a steal, we dont know what is.
a little bit extra
We could have gone to the VIP section
with the girls and called it a night but
we felt like we had to make a last stop
at a highly recommended but secret
massage place somewhere in Kapitolyo
(try to look for it for yourself). They
have a special Japanese massage called
Nuru, which involves a special Japanese
gel applied via body-to-body contact.
Once you get to the front desk, the
receptionist hands you an iPad with a
gallery of photos of the therapists, which
are weirdly categorized into Guest Thera,
Super Guest Thera, Hot Picks, Highly
Recommended, and Top Model, which
dont actually mean anything except that
a top model therapist MIGHT have the
chance of being a car show model and
costing P2,000 for the initial fee up front
at the desk, instead of the usual P1500.
Another tip: most of the photos of the
girls shown in the catalog are obviously
heavily edited. Some might be a bit
chubbier or a bit thinner. If you really
have to be sure, you can politely ask
the receptionist for the the girl to show
facebook.com/FHM.ph twitter.com/fhmphil
herself before going for it.
The girls are actually quite pretty,
maybe not as much as their photos, but
still attractive, and most importantly
they are skilled at what they do. You
start by taking a bath together to break
the ice and get to know each other a
bit. The massage itself was an awesome
slip and slide experience (wed give
an arm and a leg to know where they
get that gel). They dont really mind if
youre a bit touchy during the massage,
especially towards the end, when youre
more comfortable with one another, just
dont go grabbing right at the very start.
After the massage, shell ask if you
want the usual for a thousand pesos
extra, or give you some more advanced
options costing about thrice as much.
Remember the unwritten rule: Dont be
a prick about ita little bit of lambing
can take you all the way. Oh, and you
can actually ask the receptionist how
many clients a therapist has had because
some of them get a bit cranky if youre
their 10th customer of the day. Just
feel things out with her so both of you
can have a good time. The receptionist,
Sayuri is a lot of fun to talk to, and you
can actually pick her as a therapist.
I learned a lot during this fruitful
experience and maybe even gained
some long time friends through these
cherished memories that we shared.
Im not sure when and where the next
gimmick will be. I'm not sure if I had
actually fulfilled the mission of becoming
this generation's El Gimikero for this
assignment (lore has it he plays the A
game), but rest assured, this greenhorn
has taken the lessons to heart. FHM

he ber months are here. And you
know what that means
Its Christmas, even though
its really three months away. All
of us cant be bothered to explain
why we do it this way, it just is.
So we put out our list: the gifts
wed want to give, what wed want
to have; who wed give them to,
who wed receive them from. We
anticipate the merrymaking and
the parties. We feel warm thinking
about traditions: Noche Buena,
Simbang Gabi. We brace for the
coming of Jose Mari Chan
Say that again?
Jose Mari Chan.
Lets sing Merry Christmas, and
a happy holiday, this season may
we never forget, the love we have
for Jesus
You know the next lines, and
you are singing along.
Yes, Jose Mari Chan is not only
responsible for certified Pinoy pop
classics your tito is crazy about
in videoke, and for releasing the
two best-selling records in OPM
history (Constant Change and
Christmas in our Hearts), he also
wrote some of the best known
Filipino Christmas music. Its hard
to not to hear Christmas in Our
Hearts or A Perfect Christmas Perfect Christmas but in reality, radio
as they are played in malls,
elevators, and churches.
When we walked into his
office in Makati where his sugar
business is located, Chan himself
was all bright and cheerful. He
even had gifts for us at FHMCDs
of his best-selling albums and
his Christmas records!
How do you feel about
being named The Father of
Filipino Christmas music?
I have to protest about that. I dont
deserve the tag. Christmas to me
is a meaningful word and is at
the center of our faith. To say na
kapag Christmas kontrolado ko
ang mga malls and the Christmas
music they play might appear as
egoistic and that I am an ego-
bloated artist. I dont welcome the
tag. The very fact the songs get
played is good enough adulation
and an accolade. I dont need
the title of Father of Christmas
Music to be honest. Just hearing
the songs played and sung at
Holy Mass, in the malls, or parties
is a good feeling enough. It is
gratifying.
How did you come up with
Christmas in Our Hearts?
After the success of Constant
Change [the first ever diamond
awarded albumover 400,000
in actual physical salesin
Philippine music history], my
record label suggested we do a
Christmas album. The first thing I
did was compile all the meaningful
Christmas songs of my younger
yearssongs like Little Christmas
Tree, May the Good Lord Bless
You and Keep You and even
songs like The Carpenters Merry
Christmas, Darling to name a
few. But the label said we needed
to record an original composition.
So I submitted Christmas in Our
Hearts. When the late Bella Tan
[Universal Records owner] first
heard it, she said it sounded like
a Christian song instead of a pop
song and that radio wouldnt play Wor ds
it. At the time, you needed your songs to R I C K O L I VA R E S
be played on radio to help promote the
P hoto g raP h y
album. You need a romantic Christmas
song, she said. In three days time, I K U R T A LV A R E Z
wrote A Perfect Christmas and she now
felt that was the carrier single. When the Mak e u P
album was launched in October of 1990, jAnInA dIZOn
she was almost sure radio would pick A st yli ng
dEbRA bERnALES
picked Christmas in Our Hearts. as s i s te d by
Is it a must for all recording artists to TwInKLE
record a Christmas song? qUERUbInE
Its up to the artists, I suppose. It sure is
nice, though. Pop songs have limited lives.
Constant Change had several hits that all
get played up to this day, but maybe not
as much [as they did then]. But Christmas
music, you know when the season arrives,
it will get played. There is a timelessness
to Christmas music. I am fortunate
enough to have done that. Twice in fact.
That was Going Home to Christmas,
recorded 22 years after Christmas in
Our Hearts. Why did it take so long to
do that?
You dont plan for these things. They just
happen organically, naturally. Christmas
in Our Hearts featured a duet with my
daughter, Liza. Now for Going Home to
Christmas, I not only got to do a duet
with Liza once moreand now she is all
grown upbut I also recorded with my
sons, Joe and Mike, who are with the sons
of Celeste Legaspi and Sampaguita in a
band called Generations. And, I also had a
duet with my granddaughter!
Have you ever had this experience where
youre in an elevator and your Christmas
music is playing?
Yes, I have. Theres a mixture of elation
and well, I am not sure, shyness because
people look at me. I smile back but I am
not really sure what to say.
Thats me singing?
Ha ha! I can never do that. But I do feel
elated because it is a composition of mine
and my compositions are like my children.
Can you share any anecdotes with your
Christmas music?
(Thinks for a moment) I can share
two: I was invited to sing at a birthday
celebration in Lanao del Sur. Looking at
the audience, 90 percent of the audience
were Muslims. I sang a lot of songs and
they asked for more during the encore.
So I sang more. But the crowd was really
incredible. They kept asking for more. I
sang a few more and eventually ran out
of hits, I asked if they had any requests.
And I was thinking maybe they would ask
for songs like Michelle by The Beatles.
Imagine my surprise when they requested
for Christmas in Our Hearts. Now it
was May and were right
in the middle of summer.
Fortunately, I had the
minus one and sang it. The
part where my daughter
sings the whole gym
sang. It was incredible and
I feel my hair standing up
when I recall it. It showed
me that that the song
has transcended religion
and it is relevant to most
people. It is one of my
best moments ever as a
performer. The other was
at Carnegie Hall where my
daughter Liza happened
to be a guest. It wasnt
Christmas but we were
forced to sing Christmas
in Our Hearts. And we got
a long standing ovation for
that.
Lets talk about
songwriting on general,
as you have written quite
a volume of hits.
Let me start with a
caveatI dont read notes.
I never learned to really
play the piano and only
know a few chords on the
guitar.
Thats amazing! So how
do you go about writing
all these songs?
I dont know (laughs).
I think of a melody. I
have always said words
and music should have
a perfect marriage.
Words should fit the
melody. Melody should
illustrate what the words
are saying. They are
as complementary as
husband and wife. One
cannot live without the
other. Is that a bit too much? Ha ha!
Our editor in chief, who reveres you as
his musical hero, thinks Can We Just
Stop and Talk Awhile? is a perfect pop
song. Tell us how you wrote that.
(Hums the introduction of the song)
In 1972 or 73, [record executive] Vic
Del Rosario called me. He said there
was international competition in Japan
called the Yamaha World Popular Song
Festivaland they were asking for entries
from the Philippines. Vic was preparing
several songs from different Filipino
songwriters and he asked me if I had any.
I came up with one quickly
and that was Can We Just
Stop and Talk Awhile?.
It took me three days, I
think? I just thought of
the melody, added some
lines and began composing
it. Now I always sing my
songs to my wife [Mary
Ann] and her initial
comment was, the title is
too long. She was used
to my songs having short
titles. And she felt it wasnt
going to be a hit. And it
wasnt the first time that
someone said a song I
wrote wont be a hit. God
gave me the talent, I guess.
Do you have new songs
that you are ready to
unleash on the world?
Especially at a younger
audience?
Right now, no. I am
realistic that the music
that is contemporary now
has a different sound. If
I insist on writing the
songs I know and am
known for, I will not sell.
To the young people, my
music is old-fashioned.
On top of that, compact
disc sales in the country
have dropped dramatically.
Kids nowadays download
music or share files. There
is no incentive to produce
new material unless it is
contemporary.
Do you know that vinyl is
making a comeback?
It is?
Yes. Last year alone,
vinyl sales topped the
last big numbers in 1989.
And there has been a
huge demand for OPM records, too.
Fantastic news! Are the millennials buying?
Yes, they are. We tried buying an original
vinyl record of Constant Change. Except
that it cost P15,000!
That is too much money to spend on one
record! FHM

Get in gear and rather than roll, the dual-clutch seven-
speed tranny likes to kick forward in first gearlike it cant
wait to get going, the good kind of lurching speed freaks
crave. Dont worry though, the generously bolstered seats
with TURBO stitching will keep you in place.
The 1.6-liter turbo direct-injected engine isnt going to
win drag races, but it wont bankrupt you at the pump to
play with its 204ps every time traffic clears up. It could use
more noise from that sexy center exhaust, so thats what
wed mod first. And that brings us to talking about that
beautiful rear end. Its the best-looking butt to come out of
Korea, rivaling even the booty of the best members of those
K-pop girl groups.
Everything feels right about the Veloster Turbo. But
we do have one thing to ask of Hyundai: center-mounted
