Lea Salonga, one of the veteran artists in the Philippine entertainment industry, has recently attracted attention with her cryptic messages to Gab Valenciano and his mother, Angeli Pangilinan Valenciano. This immediately sparked a lot of speculation, especially since Gab recently released a new song with emotional content. The question is: Is there a connection between this song and Lea’s statement?

In a recent post, Lea Salonga shared a short but cryptic message about respecting and understanding one’s own worth in the entertainment industry. Although she did not directly mention Gab or Angeli, many astute netizens have discovered the connection between her post and the recent situation of Valenciano’s family.

The online community was immediately divided into two opinions. Some thought that Lea was just sharing her personal views on showbiz, while others believed that she was referring to the scandals surrounding Gab and his mother. So what’s really going on?

While the public is still debating Lea Salonga’s message, Gab Valenciano has suddenly released a new song with a narrative and emotional color. The lyrics mention the pressure, hurt and expectations from family – which many people think he is talking about himself and his relationship with his mother, Angeli.

Gab is the son of veteran artist Gary Valenciano and his mother, Angeli, is a famous manager in the entertainment industry. For many years, Gab has always had to live under the shadow of his father and endure many expectations from his family. The new song seems to be an emotional release of his life and this pressure.

Both Lea’s speech and Gab’s song quickly became hot topics on social media. Many believe that Lea is implicitly supporting Gab in his journey to find himself, while others think this is just a coincidence.

Some notable comments from netizens:

– *“If Lea is really talking about Gab, then she really understands and supports him. This makes me feel like something really happened between Gab and his family.”*
– *“Gab has the right to speak his mind. Children should not always be pressured by their parents’ reputation.”*
– *“Lea is a very tactful person. If she speaks up, there must be something to think about.”*

Although no one has officially confirmed the connection between Lea Salonga’s statement and Gab’s song, this coincidence still makes many people question. Is this just a coincidence, or is there really a bigger story behind it that the public doesn’t know about?

What is certain is that both Lea and Gab are artists with strong personalities and are not afraid to express their opinions. Will they speak up in the future to clarify the matter? Let’s wait for the next developments!

Lea Salonga, Gary V dedicate new song ‘Heroes’ to frontliners
Lea Salonga and Gary Valenciano honor frontliners with a new song entitled “Heroes.”

The original composition of National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab and Jose Javier Reyes will be launched the Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Foundation this week to show solidarity and boost the morale of medical frontliners.

The first inspiration for the project came from Reyes who crafted the lyrics of the song in 2020, amid the struggle of medical frontliners besieged by rising COVID-19 cases. He also knew some of the patients, some of whom have passed on.

“It was not meant for any special occasion. I just felt it. I just had to write it down as a form of therapy. I sent the lyrics to Ryan since we’ve always worked well together. I said please set them to music if you can at the right time,” Reyes related to ABS-CBN News.

“The situation of the frontliners is crying,” Reyes added, citing their untold sacrifice, even without proper remuneration and lack of incentives. “They should be the ones who should be celebrated! They are our real heroes.”

Part of Reyes’ poignant lyrics go:

“He wants to live in all of us
To give love, hope
and bear truth in mind
For in my heart there’s a hero
He saves and in my life
He shines.
For everywhere there is a hero
Perhaps some you choose not to see
Fighting for what he believes is good. Not for himself but for you and me.”

Jonathan Manalo is also credited as a co-producer of the song project which will benefit the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in its continuing efforts of providing quality healthcare for Filipinos from all socio-economic classes.

The TOYM encourages donations to the PGH’s Panatag na Kanlungan that supports doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and other volunteers and front liners at the forefront of fighting this pandemic.

Every P1,000 donated will entitle donors to a special commemorative face mask.

The “Heroes” music video was shot earlier this year, with the Salonga, Valenciano and Cayabyab in their respective home studios.
