Filipino singer/actress Celeste Legaspi's 1977 album. She is one of the country's leading singers, leader of OPM (Original Pinoy Music), which refers to Philippine music locally. The album contains ballads and vocal songs with a sense of melancholy and melody that can be found in Japanese musicality.  It's is bit hard to understand at first listen, but the goodness spreads gradually. Recommend to start listening from A1/B1/B3
