I first heard this song on an FM Radio hosted by Lourd de Veyra... i've forgoten his radio show... then followed "Yugyugan Na", a remake of the Advisors.

Mabuti't ako'y bata pa, dahil di pa ako umaalembong. Na siyang nais kong makamit, para ako'y makaiwas sa kanyang mga sari saring mga kagulimahan.

nawala na lahat ng collection ko ng mga villar record nasunog po ang lhat! mga visayan song pa. at mga ruben tagalog at mga ilocano song mayron din ako non... sobrang hinayang ko kasi di ko pinahihiram yon pati mga rondalla ni juan silos jr. at mga intrumental ni leopoldo silos na puro piano... hay sayang wala ng villar record...

[Ezrach]

Naalala ko ang kantang ito noong akoy high school pa villar record pa 50 pesos lang ang tape na ito. dito nauubos baon ko non...

[philclassic]

@Ezrach : Buhay pa ba collections mo ng mga Villar Cassette tapes? Yung akin out of more than 20 tapes na nabili ko using my saved baon sa school ay dalawa na lang ang natira. Inarbor kasi ng late Uncle ko from Tarlac noong late 80's. Pero pagkatapos niyon nakapangolekta ulit ako. Ngayon more or less 30 Villar cassette tapes ang nasa collection ko (hindi kasama mga vinyl records from Villar).

Very cute to listen to philclassic. Very crisp sound. Is Sylvia La Torre also the one who sung in the movie itself?

[philclassic]

@yecaps25: I'm glad you enjoyed listening to my uploads. I have no idea if they used Sylvia's voice in the movie. I haven't watched the movie yet (hindi pa po ako ipinapanganak nang ipalabas iyon). I hope other viewers will answer your question. Salamat!

[yecaps25]

@philclassic Ako rin, hindi pa napapanganak nu'n. :-) Thanks for the response philclassic! Appeciate it.

By the way, thanks for uploading Romeo Miranda's Ikaw At Ikaw Rin from Dyesebel movie. I have no idea kasi that that was the title of his other song in the movie aside from the actual Dyesebel theme.

[philclassic]

@yecaps25: You're welcome. You can find the title of the song at the "credit" or acknowledgment section ng pelikula mismo. Hindi ko lang sigurado kung si Romeo Miranda at yung 1950's Kundiman singer na si Larry Miranda ay magkapatid. They don't look the same but have the same surname though.

[yecaps25]

@philclassic I have the copy of the movie but I missed that. After the last scene where Vilma and Romeo met at the beach (with legs na siya) cut na agad. Edited version perhaps. Thanks again for the insights!

Hopefully, you can post more movie related themes/songs like this. It's really nice to listen to them unlike the songs we have now. :-)

[philclassic]

@yecaps25: Did you check the "intro" credits? I think its there. Mahirap kasi maghalughog ng mga CDs sa aking baul :) Sorry, hindi ako masyado nangongolekta ng mga old Tagalog movies. Anyway there are other Youtubers who does that and are very generous to share them. But if you like original Kundiman recordings with matching pinipritong isda na background sound) then this is the place to be.

[yecaps25]

@philclassic I'll check. I like listening to old tagalog songs kaya I fancy your posts. Thanks pa rin for the insights and response. I'll be checking on your account from time to time. :-)

hay salamat!!! nakahanap rn ako ng kanta na may 2 kumpas. research kc nmin yn e

[Nyweo]

Thank you for replying to my request for the song Paalam. It will be nice if you can add Constancio de Guzman's Paalam, then I can compare it to the one I have (given by a very good friend who's far away now).

[philclassic]

@Nyweo: I just uploaded de Guzman's version.

[Nyweo]

@philclassic I've downloaded the version, it's achingly beautiful. I noticed you also have english songs,so you might want to consider including Tommy Korberg's version of "Anthem"... want to share my mp3 here but I don't if you'll allow it, but you can listen to Tommy Korberg's version(s) at YouTube.

[philclassic]

@Nyweo: I don't usually post foreign songs here. Naligaw lang dito sa Philclassic channel yung "Time to Say Goodbye" ni Andrea Bocelli. I was out of the country that time and I don't have access to my Filipiniana archive, hence, that very beautiful English (actually Latin) song was included here. It can also be considered a Philippine "classic" because many Filipinos here listens to Bocelli's love songs. Yes, you can post a "Video Response" here of Tony Korberg's "Anthem" :)

[Nyweo]

@philclassic I can't upload Tommy Korberg's "Anthem" here because I only got it from YouTube, so it isn't mine; and I don't know how to make a video using the song.

[DrChefPayatas]

Clicked "like" - can't figure out why it merely garnered 2 points - you deserve more than that for your tireless efforts in giving way to my whims. Ha ! Ha ! Anyway, I'm sure you'll receive more as time goes by. You have countless viewers and friends in site who'd love to listen to this delightful and flirtatious song.

[felixbautista]

Many thanks to you philclassic - without you I won't probably hear this song ever - it sure recalls those simple easy years in Manila.

[urCherieAmor]

@felixbautista ha ha ha..This is very funny ...Alembooong...thank you for the share. You made my day.

[cooking4fun]

napanood ko ito ng bata pa ako =) sa sine siete twing hapon...natatandaan ko sabi ng Inang Maria, nagagalit sa akin kse ganoon yata pag bata ka pa mahilig humarap sa salamin at magsuklay...gamit petals ng Bouganvillea / bounganvilla pampapula ng mga labi...=) ahahaha....sarap sariwain mga gawi ng mga bata pa tayo...ingat palagi at God bless.

[philclassic]

na missed ko ang sound ng pinipritong isda, mula kasi sa magnetic cassette tape ang audio recording ng Alembong" na ginamit ko sa simpleng video na ito.

[CeeCeeable]

@philclassic Still I commend the job done, it sounded good! Thanks for uploading, philclassic & Nancy for sharing.

[philclassic]

This is dedicated to Tito (Youtuber Felixbautista) who requested this song.

[Nyweo]

@philclassic , ca you upload the song "Paaølam", please? Thanks.

There's only one person I know who will send me kundimans... and I miss him so, but I respect his reasons for distancing himself.

[philclassic]

@Nyweo: I have Constancio de Guzman's "Paalam" (instrumental), as interpreted by Leopoldo Silos and the Villar Symphonette but I'm not sure if this is the version you are referring to.

[nancyfloressantos]

Remembering this song puts a smile on my face ...childhood memories.. the theme song of the 1958 movie Alembong which starred Lita Gutierrez..

[philclassic]

@nancyfloressantos: Thanks for the comments :)
