This review is also for Composer Dear Sir Larry Hermoso.
Hi,Sir, it has taken me thirty five years to write this review, but your song," Kapag Ako ay Nagmahal" has been the soundtrack of my life. So, first: Thank you for Composing it! Next, the reason, I love it is that I first encountered it in a song by Artist, and of course, Actress/ Singer Jokina Magdangal. I saw as a young kid, snippets of the movie, Labs Kita okey ka lang", as a teen, so I didn't really pay attention to it, but now as Adult, I couldn't believe how good it is. Kudos to legendary actresses The late Gina Pareno, Hilda Koronel, that glanced the screen and of course, Actor Marvin Agustin as a vehicle for theme, but as Adult, in 2025, I consider one of my most favorite. The melody is so simple in the beginning, but the chord progression just brings you to feel the magic of the Song. And then strings also add to the overall beauty. SALAMAT po! The movie is excellent too..this LOVE STORY, Falling with or for your own best friend, was probably acted out the best here...Maybe even the inspiration for movies that followed, " Kung Ako Na lang Sana ", and other movies in Philippine cinema, and teleseryes. I highly recommend this Composer and movie and the scenery of the city of Baguio, Philippines also gave it the setting, perfect for it. Again, thanks to minor Actors at the time, like Vhong, and Jeffrey Hidalgo and the whole entire cast and crew that was a part of this! SALAMAT po. Thank you Musicians, and Jeremiah band, and most specially thank you sir Larry Hermoso, for such an iconic song. From another Larry, to Larry, you inspired me to be a better singer, songwriter! Thank you! 3/21/2025... I saw Labs kita okey ka lang, like 1991,1992, as a sixth grader..like when I was eleven...I'm forty seven now, po! Thank you for your song!
