Roy Tugbang Sings "Bituing Marikit" by Nicanor Abelardo

Revisiting my treasure trove of unpublished photos and videos yielded impressive performances by Filipino artists, among them the young vocalist Roy Tugbang. He guested at the Gintong Lakbay (Golden Journey) concert marking the 50th year anniversary of Fiesta Filipina Dance Troupe at Living Arts Centre in Mississauga on Saturday, September 10, 2016. There he sang a Philippine classic - "Bituing Marikit" (Beautiful Star) by composer Nicanor Abelardo.

For song lovers, especially of the kundiman, here are the lyrics of that ballad:

Bituing marikit sa gabi ng buhay
Ang bawat kislap mo'y ligaya ang taglay
Yaring aking palad iyong patnubayan
At kahit na sinag, ako'y bahaginan
Natanim sa puso ko yaong isang pag-ibig
Napinakasasamba sa loob ng dibdib
Sa iyong luningning, laging nasasabik
Ikaw ang pangarap, Bituing marikit
Lapitan mo ako, halina Bituin!
At ating pag-isahin ang mga damdamin!
Ang sabik kong diwa'y huwag mong uhawin
Sa batis na iyong wagas na paggiliw
