Spotify’s most-streamed Filipina artist Moira Dela Torre is the voice of PLDT Home‘s Valentine’s Day campaign, collaborating for the music video of her latest single “Pag-ibig ang Piliin.”
Composed and arranged by award-winning songwriter Jonathan Manalo, Moira once again captivates the hearts of listeners with a song that speaks the true meaning of love.
PLDT Home highlights the importance of choosing to love amidst all circumstances and challenges in this Valentine’s campaign. While the internet and social media have become important platforms for free expression and open dialogue, the #ChooseToLove campaign reminds everyone to always choose love over hate, divisiveness, fear and rejection.
This new song is a bright ray of light that is much needed today. It tells us that love is the most powerful choice through its moving lines:
“Kahit na ‘di natin alam ang bukas
Kahit ‘di sumikat ang araw at bumuhos ang ulan
Kahit hindi umayon ang tadhana
Isang tawag mo lang, pupuntahan nasaan ka man.
Ganyan ang tunay na pag-ibig ‘di takot sa mundo
Ipaglalaban kita hanggang sa dulo
Pag-ibig ang pipiliin ko.”
Moira notes that she was “honored to be chosen by PLDT Home” to perform this new song. According to her, the message of the song is what she has been trying to embody in the many years that she has been an artist.
Songwriter and music arranger Jonathan Manalo shares that the main message of the song highlights the ultimate power of love that changes and conquers all. According to him, “This a love song that puts emphasis on ‘Love’ that is worth fighting for. Love against all odds, even if the world seems to disapprove, no one can question the power of a person’s great true love. When you choose to fight for love, it is the ultimate power, nothing, no one can stand in your way.” The song was also co-written by singer-songwriter Trisha Denise.
