I'm happy that Noel Cabangon topped the Awit Awards. I'm a fan of Noel Cabangon since I saw his name from Conrado De Quiros's book "Flowers from the Rubble." Cabangon is also the composer of Bamboo's rendition of Tatsulok that many people don't know about.
ReplyDeleteI hope Gary Granada is also on the list. He is also my choice to be a nominee for our national artist. Second, of course, is Noel Cabangon. Who wouldn't want him to be our national artist where he made Supreme Court Justices, Senators, and President Noynoy Aquino raised and waved their hands as he sang during P-Noy Inauguration a few months back? ;-))
