Some of the biggest and brightest names in the Philippine music industry will give life to the chosen 15 songs for the “Himig Handog Pinoy Pop (P-POP) Love Songs 2014.” Himig Handog is a multimedia songwriting and music video competition under ABS-CBN Corporation and Star Records, the music subsidiary of ABS-CBN.
“The competition is stiffer now because of the wide array of genres of the songs composed by a blend of veteran and new composers. And because of that, we have an exciting mix of singers who will interpret our new ‘Himig Handog’ hits,” said Star Music head Roxy Liquigan about the newest edition of the country’s biggest songwriting competition.
“Angeline Quinto, Daniel Padilla, Juris, Bugoy Drilon, Jovit Baldivino, Marion Aunor, Jessa Zaragoza, and KZ Tandingan are all coming back as ‘Himig Handog’ interpreters. But we also have a lot of first-timers like Ebe Dancel and Abra, Jugs and Teddy, Janella Salvador, Morisette Amon, Hazel Faith dela Cruz, Michael Pangilinan, and Jed Madela,” Liquigan said.
Angeline will be the interpreter for the song “Hanggang Kailan” composed by Jose Joel Mendoza; Daniel for “Simpleng Tulad Mo” by Meljohn Magno; Juris for “Hindi Wala” by Nica del Rosario; Morisette for “Akin Ka Na Lang” by Francis Louis Salazar; Jessa for “Bumabalik ang Nagdaan” by Sarah Jane Gandia; Jovit for “Dito” by Raizo Brent Chabeldin and Biv De Vera; Ebe Dancel with Abra for “Halik sa Hangin” by David Dimaguila; Jed for “If You Don’t Want to Fall” by Jude Gitamondoc; Janella for “Mahal Kita Pero” by Melchora Mabilog; KZ for “Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako” by Edwin Marollano; Bugoy for “Umiiyak ang Puso” by Rolando Azor; Jugs and Teddy for “Walang Basagan ng Trip” by Eric De Leon; Marion featuring Rizza and Seed for “Pumapag-ibig” by Jungee Marcelo; and Michael for “Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako” by Jovinor Tan. Meanwhile, songwriter-finalist Hazel Faith will be the interpreter of her composition, “Everything Takes Time.”

Alam mo bang may gusto akong sabihin sayo
Magmula ng nakita ka’y naakit ako
Simple lang na tulad mo ang pinapangarap ko
Ang pangarap ko
Kaya’t sana’y maibigan mo
Ang awit kong ito para sa’yo dahil
Simple lang ang pangarap ko
Mahalin ang katulad mo
Sana ay mapansin mo dahil
Simple lang ang pangarap ko
Maging ikaw at ako
Ang tanging ligaya ko
Simpleng tulad mo
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Alam mo ba na lalu kang gumaganda sinta
Sa simple na katulad mo ako’y nahulog na nga
Lahat ay gagawin ko para mapaibig ka sinta
Kaya’t sana’y maibigan mo
Ang awit kong ito para sa’yo dahil
Simple lang ang pangarap ko
Mahalin ang katulad mo

Simple lang ang pangarap ko

Ang tanging ligaya ko

Wala na nga kong mahihiling pa
Kundi ikaw

Sa simple na katulad mo ang buhay ko’y kumpleto na
Ikaw lang sinta
Simple lang ang pangarap ko
