Mahal Ko O Mahal Ako By KZ Tandingan and Edwin Marollano

Himig Handog 2014 Entry #10: "Mahal Ko O Mahal Ako" By KZ Tandingan

By: Julie Ishihara

A song for anyone who's torn between two lovers sung by KZ Tandingan in the 11th Himig Handog 2014 entry.

Who would you choose to be with: the one you love or the one that loves you?

We were taught that it would be an effortless endeavor. But still, love is both a feeling and an action and as human beings we're all obsessed with possibilities. When you really think about it, these things actually coexist in the sense that we both want to make the choice that will maximize the outcome of every possible situation, and we don’t want to leave that to chance. Yet the thing that (arguably) we feel matters most, we do leave to chance: love.

This big romantic dilemma has now been translated to a beautiful song, penned down by Edwin Marollano and interpreted by X-Factor Philippines winner KZ Tandingan.
