Spotify’s most-streamed Filipina artist Moira Dela Torre teams up with PLDT Home for the music video for her current track, “Pag-ibig ang Piliin,” which was written and arranged by award-winning musician Jonathan Manalo. Moira once again captivates the hearts with a song that reveals the genuine meaning of love as the voice for PLDT Home’s ad this Valentine’s Day.
PLDT Home’s Valentine’s Campaign emphasizes the importance of choosing to love despite all odds and hardships. While the internet and social media have become crucial tools for free expression and open dialogue, the #ChooseToLove campaign encourages everyone to choose love over hate, division, fear, and rejection.
This new song is a beautiful ray of sunshine that is desperately needed right now. Its flowing lines inform us that love is the most powerful decision.
“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 says she’s “proud to have been chosen by PLDT Home” to perform this new song. She goes on to say that the song’s message is what she has been attempting to represent for the past several years as an artist.
The song’s major theme, according to songwriter and music arranger Jonathan Manalo, is “the ultimate power of love that changes and conquers all.” “This is a love song that emphasizes ‘Love’ that is worth fighting for,” he explains. No one can deny the force of a person’s great real love in the face of all adversity, even if the world appears to disapprove. When you choose to fight for love, you have the ultimate power, and nothing or no one can stop you.” Trisha Denise, a singer-songwriter, also contributed to the song’s composition.
This Valentine’s Day, prepare to be encouraged to choose love. Moira’s latest music video for PLDT Home was directed by Benedict Mariategue and produced by Playback Productions.
