She is perhaps best known for World Youth Day Theme Song “Tell The World Of His Love,” which millions of people from all over the world sang during Pope John Paul II’s trip to Manila in 1995. The song regained popularity when Pope Francis also came to Manila in 2015. Other inspirational songs she has written include “Where Peace Begins (One Family Under God)” which was the theme song of Global Peace Festival in 2007, translated and performed in different languages, and “Tupad Na Ang Pangarap” (theme song of ABS-CBN’s show Ningning) which has lately become a favorite among the youth.

Equally renowned for her love songs and ballads like “Now That I Have You,” “Shine,” and “With You In My Life” (from the film Just The Way You Are), the wedding song “To Have And To Hold” (penned for a celebrity couple) has likewise crossed international borders, performed at ceremonies around the world.
Her excellence and versatility as a songwriter and producer is evidenced by the diversity of awards she has garnered through over three decades in the business. Aside from consistently winning local awards in the 90’s, she was the very first Asian composer to win one of the top prizes of the USA Songwriting Competition in 1999. She has also represented her country internationally and collaborated with artists from abroad. |

Her vast experience has made her a valuable mentor for the Elements Songwriting Camp and Philpop Songwriting Bootcamps, both spearheaded by National Artist Ryan Cayabyab. She has also lectured for and hosted the annual Masters Lecture Series by FILSCAP (Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), for which she has served in the Board of Trustees for over two decades.
She enjoys being an independent and self-published singer-songwriter. She continues to collaborate with other artists, labels, clients and organizations. She finds fulfillment in creating works that speak for others and provide healing and inspiration. |
