Raymond Lauchengco, Roselle Nava, Ito Rapadas at Wency Cornejo
MAY kanya-kanyang hugot tungkol sa usaping love ang mga OPM icons na sina Roselle Nava, Raymond Lauchengco, Ito Rapadas at Wency Cornejo.
Nakachikahan namin apat na singer kamakailan sa presscon para sa kanilang Valentine concert na “All Heart” na magaganap sa PICC Plenary Hall sa February 14, 8:30 p.m.. Kasama rin dito sina Jim Paredes at Boboy Garrovillo ng APO Hiking Society.
Siyempre, muli nating maririnig ang mga classic OPM songs tulad ng “Panalangin” at “Ewan” ng APO, ang “Hanggang” ni Wency, “Neocolour “Hold On” ng Neocolours”, ang “Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita?” ni Roselle at ang “So It’s You” at “Farewell” ni Raymond.
Mapapanood din sa concert ang radio DJ na si Joe D’Mango ng “Love Notes” fame para magbigay ng love advice.
Sa nasabing mediacon, natanong ang mga OPM artists kung ano ang greatest lesson na natutunan nila about love.
Unang sumagot si Raymond, “When you’re young, you think it’s a crush, you think it’s a feeling. I remember yung mga nililigawan ko noon, kapag hindi ako pinapansin, it breaks my heart. And I always thought it was the end of the world.
“And I always thought more than anything else, love is a fantastic, heavenly feeling that you get and it’s always going to be there. Kapag sinagot ako ng babaeng ito who I love so much, I always want to be happy,” dugtong pa ng singer-actor.
Dagdag pa niya, “Now I realized that is the last thing love is. Perhaps, it begins with a feeling but it definitely grows into more than anything else I think a commitment. It’s a rollercoaster ride. You’re not gonna be happy for the rest of your life. You’re gonna have problems.
“You’re not gonna want to talk to each other every so often. But you know what your love is gonna transcend that. You’re gonna have problems, you’re gonna figure that out together.
“You’re gonna have rough patches, you’re gonna go through that together. That commitment you want to go through the difficulty together, that for me is love,” sey pa ni Raymond.
Sabi naman ni Roselle, “Love is about compromises. It’s not important you get what you want. Sometimes when you love someone, you want to make yourself last na.
“Parang the others become your priorities like my family, my husband, my kids. I always find myself putting last.
“Laging kung ano ba ang gusto nila or makakabuti sa kanila. Being there for the person without expecting anything in return and happiness nila, yun ang love sa akin,” sabi pa ng tinaguruang Sentimental Diva.
Tugon naman ni Ito ng Neocolours, “Love is acceptance and understanding ng lahat ng weaknesses. And I’ve been married for many years and birthday ng wife ko kaya I’m blessed with that relationship. So pasasalamat na lang palagi.”
Para naman kay Wency, “Ang paniniwala ko is love can be found in so many things not just yung romantic notions. In can be found in a bottle of water na binigay ng waiter dahil may concern siya na nauuhaw ako. That can be a form of love.
“So for me love can take many, many forms. And it probably takes a while to learn that the romantic kind of love is not the only kind of love we need as people,” aniya pa.
Tinanong naman namin sina Wency at Roselle kung anong feeling na buhay na buhay pa rin hanggang ngayon ang mga kanta nila at bentang-benta rin sa mga kabataan.
“I feel so lucky and blessed na kahit hindi na ako ganun ka active, my songs continue to live on. Natutuwa nga ako kasi one time I was with a co-parent, her son is eight years old.
“Then sabi niya ‘you know my son alam niya yunhg kanta mo.’ So nakakatuwa and they recognize my song ‘Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita?’ and I’m really na may mga songs na nagre-revive ng songs namin,” lahad ni Roselle.
Sey naman ni Wency, “Sa ’yo (Roselle) anak, sa akin mga lola at nanay. Age related talaga yung mga comments. But it’s true they will tell me, uy paborito ng nanay ko ‘yung ‘Hanggang’ or ‘uy, paborito ng lola ko yung ‘Habang May Buhay.’
“Yan ang mga comments na nakukuha ko. But acceptance is the key. Nasa stage na matanda na talaga tayo,” sabi pa ng anak veteran Kapuso news anchor na si Mel Tiangco.
Ang tickets para sa “All Heart” ay available sa Ticketworld. Ito’y mula sa direksyon ni Calvin habang si Elmer Blancaflor naman ang music director.
