of the Filipino people. It speaks the hearts and minds of the Filipinos, and it shows how truly talented

F. Search for Song ANAK by Freddie Aguilar?
His song, “Anak” became popular for its enlightening meaning that everyone could relate to. This song
won double platinum award weeks after it was released in the country. The song did not only become
popular in the Philippines, but also in different parts of the world. It was translated in 26 languages and
was covered in 55 different countries. “Anak” was also included in many top-rated charts in other
countries such as Japan, Indonesia, The United States and countries from Western Europe. The song was
not a one-hit-wonder for it is not only popular wayback in 1978, but it’s still being used and it is still
known by the public. This song was also used by a Korean action movie entitled “Gangnam Blues” which
was released last March 2015. Now, that’s what I call a classic song!
