August 7, 2024, 6:30 pmDescribing “Sino Ang Baliw” as just another great creation by composer Mon Del Rosario is an understatement. This song, recorded by Kuh Ledesma and performed live by several artists, including Angel Andal, who impressed audiences with her rendition on The Voice Kids Philippines, is a standout work.
“I will always consider ‘Sino ang Baliw’ as my most important composition because the internal narrative in the lyrics transcends time and will always be relevant even in the coming generations,” said Del Rosario, the hitmaker with a medical degree whose experience as a medical student led him to write the song that essentially put him on the map.
In a phone chat with the “Doctor Musico” who’s among my treasured friends in the music business, he informed me that he started working on Sino Ang Baliw the Musical in 1982, just a year after the song won the highly competitive Metropop on its fourth edition. He noted that “in retrospect,’ the passage of time enabled him to “integrate more universal characters in the story.”
He mentioned a couple of notable theater artists and singers he wishes to appear in the “Sino Ang Baliw the musical” that pays tribute to his craft, especially the song that has impactfully earned him both the respect of industry peers and the general listening public. There is not yet a definite date as to when the musical can be performed on stage. But the fact he hoped it would happen later this year means it could be anytime soon.
As to what has kept him from finishing the musical all these years, he joked that other music-related projects, like film scoring or serving as head judge at ASOP songwriting festival, made him defocused for good reasons.
