About the music and the song:

Dahil Sa Iyo (meaning Because Of You) is a classic Filipino love song written in 1938 by Mike Velarde.

It is one of the most popular examples of the genre of the Filipino kundiman or serenade and has been translated into different languages.

Representing an earlier era remembered in nostalgia, it is one of the most popular songs in Tagalog (national language), and a favorite in the Philippines as well as among Filipino communities in Honolulu and the American West Coast.

The song is known in the United States because of the English-Filipino with lyrics by Tom Spinosa and Mike Velarde Jr. It was recorded by Cora and Santos Beloy, and released in 1964 on Tri-World Records.

Its popularity in the Philippines is such that some think it ought to replace the current national anthem

It has been covered many times and is a standard on the repertoire of many artists performing Filipino romantic and popular music

Among the earlier artists who have performed it in Philippine soil were the legendary Nat King Cole and The Lettermen.

The song is a personal favorite of the famous Imelda Marcos, the wife of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos... (source: Wikipedia)
