MANILA — Himig Handog, the country’s premiere songwriting competition, has released the final 12 entries, as interpreted by some of the biggest names in showbiz and OPM.
The dozen love songs, chosen from some 4,000 submissions from Filipinos across the country and abroad, span different genres, from pop to jazz, and communicate a range of emotions related to love, from longing to hope.
