A Song Composed Through Texting! - Mar
05 2004
The Manila Bulleting Online reports that a
song has been composed through texting and itís
by Vina Morales and Piolo Pascual no less.
"Piolo is a guest artist in Vinaís latest
album and when the singer-actress found this
out, they thought of a concept. But because of
their busy and demanding schedule, they couldnít
find time to sit down together and write the
song. But they finally got to do it - through
texting.
ìPiolo wrote the second and fourth verses and
I did the first and the third,î Vina said during
the launch the other day of the album entitled
ìMamahalin Ka Niyaî.
The only disappointing part of this story is
that the record company didn't think of making
the song into a ringtone. It would have been
appropriate.
