it was 1993 when i appreciate this song... my husband went to japan, that was the first time we separate our ways.. and it hurts me a lot...but thank god.. were still together...
thanks you tube ,,, after many years i finally got to hear this song again ,, and i never knew ( until now ) that the singers are Filipinos ....mabuhay !
I used to listen to this song and the other one 20 minutes after take off but can't find it anywhere.Wish i can hear it again.It's a very nice and heartfelt song ...
ay, naku napaka sad ng songs na 2..tlg namang daming luhang tumapon sakin b4 mag take off ang cnsakyan qng airpane..miz q mga iiwanan q sa pinas.nahawa dn ng pagiyak skn ung katabi q...
as i look back in the files of my farther i came across a song book called "MOPTOP" i saw this song in the OPM section i thought the editor made an error in putting this but as i look now, this really is an OPM. Am proud to be Pinoy...
i love this song not knowing that it was composed and sang by a filipino.i've heard this song played in my car from an fm station where we're heading to NAIA with my fiancee and was about to leave for los angeles last year 2008.sad to say that was the last time i've seen her....i wish her a good life though she hurt me that much.
I was in the same situation when i first left Manila, right ther at the NAIA. My family including my mother was there sending me off. I cried a lot. That was the first I left the Philippines, let alone, leave my family whom I love so much. Little that I know that will also be the last time I will see my mother alive. She died 9 months after. The worst of it all, I wasn't able to go back to attend her funeral, so I just asked my family back home to video tape the proceedings.
i wonder why i like this song. it's so sad. the comment of marist83usa made the song even more touching. i like the voice over and also the announcer calling all passengers to board the plane (who is he). to dan henry congratulations. I prefer this song than 20 minutes after take off. (it's nice too)
This song stuck to my mind since I was a teener, never did I imagine myself leaving the country, and leaving somebody behind... it's painful and heartbreaking, nakaka iyak pala talaga ung nasa airport ka na then you're saying your goodbyes sa mga taong mahal mo... Thanks for posting this wonderful song, truly a blast from the past!!!
Have always loved this song, sounds like an international recording (same with enveloped ideas of the dawn) but this has special meaning for us children of the 80's. And yes, I've always remembered Bessie Badilla as the voice over. Marist, Bessie is an international fashion model and was a Paris-based House of Balenciaga model during those years.
This is a sad story of my past, 1986 I was at the NAIA that's the last time I saw my grirlfriend again... every word in this lyrics remind me of that momentous day.
Thanks @Marist83USA as this song will always stay on in my life...
I flew from Clark to SF in 87' that was last time i heard of this song until today. Brings a lot of sad memories for that one gal who "could have been" and maybe "should have been".
my girlfriend just left NorthAmerica last night heading back to Philippines and I am missing her now already. will she comes back ?" Nobody knows just when".
this classic song just bring tears to my eyes - loved this one.
Maraming nakakamiss kay Henry sa Teresa sa Sta. Mesa ... may mga naiiyak pa nga when I post this on my FB... to Sir Dan Samonte sana nga matuloy ang revival nito and some of your compositions also... dito ako lumaki sa Teresa at and this song, your song will always be a part of me... Bong Arguelles
Great song from two great artist Dan Samonte and Henry Toribio's legacy really lives on with this song. We were neighbors with Henry madalas din sya sa bahay dahil barkada sya ng mga utol ko and I think he was also the pianist at our parish. When I sing this song in school or even nung nagtratrabaho na ko ayaw nilang maniwala na pinoy ang kumanta nito. Pati dito sa Dubai akala nila foreigner. Akala nila si Don Henley ng Eagles... But I am very proud of this song and Dan and Henry.
I really love this song. I thought this was composed & sung by a foreign artist. FILIPINO pl. WOW! Proud to be a Pinoy! Thanks for uploading and thank you Dan Samonte & Henry Toribio for this wonderful song.
i really love this song.i always recall when get 2gether ng mga dabarkadz..with henry toribio.and we miss him very much...see u soon henry..but not now huh...heheheheh we love u henry..and regards 2 mr,danny samonte..and god bless you! more power sa rj1oo...
Hi Marist83USA,thank u 4 posting this song.I still remember the date(Oct.28,1987)when I left Phillippines 2 come here in USA,CA.,i left a gf at that time,she even told me at that time that she will wait 4 me.But after only 3 months of writing w/each other ,she stopped writing.So when i made a long distance call 2 her,she told me that she already got married.Anyways,thank u again 4 posting this song.Mabuhay kayo!!!!!
I really love this song very much, I always recall when my love one left for her hometown in Salt Lake City, Utah, she was a return missionary of the mormon church, I kiss her on the cheek before she left, that was in the year 1980, three decades age.. Her name was Moana Newland from Bountiful, Utah. I hope she will be able to read this message of mine or anyone who knows her tell her that I really love her very much..We were not able to meet since then.
Mr. Samonte can you please re-issue this song. Sana lang makakuha k nang magaling na OPM artist pero the original is the best so maybe just try to have it in digital mastering. Iba kasi ang dating ng original.
oh,,i so much love this song,,i still cry when i play this and start to reminisce all the happy memories between me and my loved once before,,,he left for a work in dubai,,almost leaving a promise every split of seconds,,its been 20 minutes when he arrive,,and it hurts me more when he kissed me goodbye,,,now the promise he made was vanish and he said he'd marry a lady whom he meet in,,its painfull but hope to see him soon,,i still care for you "melbert navarro",,and i'll wait for you forever,,,
@IndiFilmFanatic Wow, you must be proud to have been part of this mega-hit song.
You should be receiving royalties for your part. Your voice-over gave the song a heart. Were you in showbiz or did you work for a radio station? The name Bessie Badilla sounds familiar. I noticed you're also based in the US. Salamat & Mabuhay!
@Marist83USA I'm actually THRILLED because it's been 30 years since that song was recorded. I wonder if I can still sound "sweet" now. Haha! Yes, I'm in the East Coast. I've been based here for the last 20 years after I retired from television and working in the fashion industry. Mabuhay!
@Marist83USA Bessie Badilla is one of the famous fashion models in the Philippines (circa 80's) and my favorite. She is not your typical mestiza type but she has that stunning look and exudes a lot of confidence.
@gelovalladolid Hey, thank you very much! It's nice to know (after some 30 years!) how you feel about the song and my voiceover, haha! I'm smiling right now.
alis na g.f ko nxt month going to uk to have masteral. . i like this song, i hear it when i was elementary. and now i will made a slideshow with this song, i'll put some of our pictures. i dedicate this song to her.
yup mr. dan samonte this song should be re-issued now, this is such a very nice inspirational song. select k n lang who should be the best singer/band to do it or you n lng uli
We all thought Dan Henry was a foreign artist or a foreign band that made this song. The melody is certainly different from the ones that were made in the Philippines at that time or any other time before or since. Great song.
i remember this song very well. it was the time that my siblings for good for the US. i was a fan of mr. samonte ( d amazing bionic man ) and other dj's of dzbm ( AM radio back then). they were my inspirations of becoming a dj someday. i also remember winning a supposed to be kiss concert ticket but instead got a kiss army kit from discorporation.
i remember when my uncle was leaving for Saudi in 1980 and my dad was leaving for Iraq in 1983,this song was being played at Manila International Airport (now NAIA).i won't forget this song and i want to thank Danee Samonte and Henry Toribio for writing this.I'm proud of u,guys!
@janusb13 It's all in Dan's hands. This classic can have a new lease on life with an international release. Ngayon pa sa dami ng OFWs. Millions of air travelers need to hear this song.
i remember the first time listening to his song it was sang by a different person at a joe quirino show and i was just only 4 it already made a mark and has been a guiding theme of our family life since my father is an ofw worker from early 80's to early 90's until he took his last flight last jan 19 to our almighty creator i really missed him thank you for posting
i think the sound of the plane's engine taking off at 2:47 gave this great song the finishing touches, as it accentuates the main idea of the song... i am totally engrossed when i hear the plane's engine roaring......great composition DAN HENRY!
Dagger721 At last, I've found this masterpiece! Whenever I heard this song, I could see and feel the pain of OFW's and their love ones on the brink of once more, separating again and again, ocean apart.
Touch nmn ako sa kanta na to! nkkalungkot kc, naalala ko everytime paalis ako tlgang sobrang lungkot at sobrang sakit sa loob ang umalis at iwan ang mga mahal sa buhay...the song is great! nkakatouch...nakakalungkot! huhuhu....ang hirap tlgang magtrabaho sa abroad! malayo sa pamilya...
Hi Rachel, It was this pain you were talking about that gave me the inspiration to write the song. I saw it in the face of one OFW who had to leave the love of her life in search of greener pastures.
Tnx for a nice reply on my comment, i appreciate it...the song is really touching...i really like this song since i was young but i appreciate it more now that i am already an ofw...tnx for sharing this song here in you tube...
During my elementary days, I repeatedly listening this song unfortunately I did not know the title. hahaha... I even recorded this on a tape while it was played over radio. hahaha. I only knew the title when I was in college. hahahha...now am on my post studies but still cannot afford to skip listening this song. hahahha
akala ko ba mga foreigner ang kumakanta nun? sori Now ko lng nalalaman,,,Bakit di ko na naririnig yan sa mga FM radio natin,,,,,,,di hamak na mas malalim at maydamdamin na musik yan? naku!!!! ang daming sangkatutak na mga bagong awitin ngayun na wlang ka kwenta kwenta,, saludo ako bai,sa mga pinoy lalo na sa dalwang dj noon na si dan henry
still hopeful!. IT SEEMS NOBODY IS SINGING/REVIVING YOUR SONG.... WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER HITS/ IF YOU DON;T MIND... POST IT PLEASE.... ONE OF THIS DAY, I'LL TRY TO VISIT YOU AT RJ... MY OFFICE IS JUST NEXT TO RJ. ITS AT SAVILLE BLDG. SEE YOU.
@daneesamonte Hi sir, Im a big fan of this song di lang ako sure kung anong exact year ito na release sa ere but i think nsa late years nko ng elementary school nun, by the way we have the same surname from bulacan ang clan nmin, hanggang ngayon po ba active pa rin kyo sa rjfm kasi po paminsan minsan ay naka tune in ako sa RJ thru their website, dito po ako naka base ngayon sa UK, dati akong nsa PNP and still planning to go back in the service if given a chance..
if i remember it right both dan and henry were disc jokeys in the late 70's or early 80's here in manila, the philippines. they are two distinct person.
Henry, Lito and Restie together with their sister Emma were playing in different bands during the 60's, 70's and 80s. Lito was the drummer for Jose Mari's electromaniacs. Restie my father was a great piano player and aranger. Their father, Tomas , was the band leader for Tom Toribio's Orchestra .
Hi everyone,I'm JT and I'm the nephew of one the writers of the song, Henry Toribio. He worte this song , as well as other Dan henry songs with,danee samonte. Henry died about twenty years ago, of a stroke.Henry also played the keyboards and bass parts on most their songs.He is the brother of premier drummer Lito Toribio and Pianist Restie Toribio. Henry and Lito were the driving forces of the band called Sangkatutak and Royal Flush.
Around the late '70's, PAL did not have Boeing 747's in its fleet yet. Long haul flights to San Francisco or Honolulu were flown on wide-bodied Mcdonnel Douglas DC-10's, hence the line in the lyrics "The big DC-10 takes you on a journey..."
well you better start saving money so you can fly back again with your giel friend, that! if it still you and her. i think she's inlove with me now...
Hi Dan, do you still have scanned copies of the album? just so we know what it really looks like. I've been trying to get a CD copy of this song ever since CD's became available. Thanks
Hi ! There are actually 3 versions of this album. The first was released in 1978 by Disc Corporation. It had a picture of me and Henry on the back. The 2nd version (same contents) released by Waener (WEA) back in 1981 had a huge clock on its cover without any pictures. The 3rd version was aCD and contained old and new versions of the songs and was released by Sony/BMG with our pictures again. All 3 releases are out of stock
Oh my! u have no idea how much I started to like this song...My bf back home juz told me that everytime he heard this song..he got zillion of goosebumps...He juz adore me so much...we are far apart from each other but we do believe one day we'll be together and spend the rest of our days...Thanks for sharing this song....this is freakin' AWESOME!!!
I love this song but i love also the "Twenty minutes after take off" been searching for it so long but its not available. do you have a copy of this song? hope you can share it too. thanks
wala na tutulad sa mga pilipino, khit saan mo dalhin magaling, sa pagkanta at paggawa ng kanta. God bless pilipino people.namimiss ko na sumakay ng eroplano pabalik ng pilipinas.

@janusb13 It's all in Dan's hands. This classic can have a new lease on life with an international release. Ngayon pa sa dami ng OFWs. Millions of air travelers need to hear this song.

i think the sound of the plane's engine taking off at 2:47 gave this great song the finishing touches, as it accentuates the main idea of the song... i am totally engrossed when i hear the plane's engine roaring......great composition DAN HENRY!

Dagger721 At last, I've found this masterpiece! Whenever I heard this song, I could see and feel the pain of OFW's and their love ones on the brink of once more, separating again and again, ocean apart.

Hi Rachel, It was this pain you were talking about that gave me the inspiration to write the song. I saw it in the face of one OFW who had to leave the love of her life in search of greener pastures.

This masterpiece needs to be re-issued now more than ever with the millions of OFWs outside our country.
What do you think Mr.Samonte? I'll volunteer to produce it once again.:) Do you still hold the rights to the song sir?

Henry, Lito and Restie together with their sister Emma were playing in different bands during the 60's, 70's and 80s. Lito was the drummer for Jose Mari's electromaniacs. Restie my father was a great piano player and aranger. Their father, Tomas , was the band leader for Tom Toribio's Orchestra .

Hi everyone,I'm JT and I'm the nephew of one the writers of the song, Henry Toribio. He worte this song , as well as other Dan henry songs with,danee samonte. Henry died about twenty years ago, of a stroke.Henry also played the keyboards and bass parts on most their songs.He is the brother of premier drummer Lito Toribio and Pianist Restie Toribio. Henry and Lito were the driving forces of the band called Sangkatutak and Royal Flush.

some trivia...
Around the late '70's, PAL did not have Boeing 747's in its fleet yet. Long haul flights to San Francisco or Honolulu were flown on wide-bodied Mcdonnel Douglas DC-10's, hence the line in the lyrics "The big DC-10 takes you on a journey..."

Hi Dan, do you still have scanned copies of the album? just so we know what it really looks like. I've been trying to get a CD copy of this song ever since CD's became available. Thanks
maleekot27 3 years ago
Hi ! There are actually 3 versions of this album. The first was released in 1978 by Disc Corporation. It had a picture of me and Henry on the back. The 2nd version (same contents) released by Waener (WEA) back in 1981 had a huge clock on its cover without any pictures. The 3rd version was aCD and contained old and new versions of the songs and was released by Sony/BMG with our pictures again. All 3 releases are out of stock
