Marollano bested 14 other songwriter-finalists to win the cash prize of P1 million and a trophy designed by renowned sculptor Michael Cacnio. Tandingan, meanwhile, bagged the ABS-CBN.com Favorite Interpreter Award.
Hailed as the 2nd Best Song was “Halik sa Hangin,” a song written by David Dimaguila and interpreted by Ebe Dancel with Abra. The other winners were “Mahal Kita Pero” as 3rd Best Song composed by Melchora Mabilog and interpreted by Janella Salvador, “Walang Basagan ng Trip” as 4th Best Song composed by Eric De Leon and interpreted by Jugs Jugueta and Teddy Corpuz, and “Hindi Wala” as 5th Best Song composed by Nica Del Rosario and interpreted by Juris Fernandez. The TFC’s Choice Award and Star Studio Readers’ Choice Award went to “If You Don’t Want to Fall” composed by Jude Gitamondoc and interpreted by Jed Madela.
Meanwhile, the following special awards were also given away during the finals night of Philippines’ biggest multimedia songwriting competition: Star Cinema’s Choice Award – “Halik sa Hangin”; MYX’s Choice for Best Music Video Award – “Mahal Kita Pero” under the direction of students from San Beda College, Alabang (Muntinlupa, Metro Manila); Star Music Listeners’ Choice Award – “Bumabalik ang Nagdaan” composed by Sarah Jane Gandia and interpreted by Jessa Zaragoza; and MOR 101.9 Listeners’ Choice Award and ABS-CBNMobile Fan Favorite Award – “Simpleng Tulad Mo” composed by Meljohn Magno and interpreted by Daniel Padilla.
The other finalists of this year’s “Himig Handog P-Pop Love songs 2014” are “Akin Ka Na Lang” composed by Francis Louis Salazar and interpreted by Morisette Amon, “Dito” composed by Raizo Brent Chabeldin and Biv De Vera and interpreted by Jovit Baldovino, “Hanggang Kailan” composed by Jose Joel Mendoza and interpreted by Angeline Quinto, “Pare, Mahal Mo Raw Ako” composed by Jovinor Tan and interpreted by Michael Pangilinan, “Pumapag-ibig” composed by Jungee Marcelo and interpreted by Marion Aunor featuring Rizza Cabrera and Seed Bunye, “Umiiyak ang Puso” composed by Rolando Azor and interpreted by Bugoy Drilon, and “Everything Takes Time” composed and interpreted by Hazel Faith dela Cruz.
“Himig Handog” is the Philippines’ first interactive multimedia songwriting tilt launched by ABS-CBN in 2000, originally to pay tribute to the overseas Filipino worker but has become an instrument in showcasing the greatness of Filipinos in songwriting, singing, or music in general. This year TFC continues to herald this greatness or as the network’s 20th anniversary theme promotes, the ‘Galing ng Filipino.’
Now on its sixth year, “Himig Handog” continues to search for exceptional amateur and professional Filipino songwriters, and endearing and uniquely Pinoy love songs that transcend generations, and which stand out like some of today’s OPM classic love songs, which include “Hanggang” by Wency Cornejo, “Kung Ako Na Lang Sana” by Bituin Escalante, “Kung Ako Ba Siya” by Piolo Pascual, “Bye Bye Na” by Rico Blanco, “This Guy’s In Love With You Pare” by Chito Miranda, and two of 2013’s biggest hits, Padilla’s “Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat” and Aiza Seguerra’s “Anong Nangyari Sa Ating Dalawa.”
