"Sing Me a Song Again, Daddy" always brings me to tears. It was the song I never got to sing to my dad because he died before I even got into a serious relationship

Mr Chan, I met you when you went to my school and that was in the 70's, in my elementary year. You were so nice to the pupils and you even stopped and said hi to me and my friend. You made a great impression to my young mind, I will never forget you Mr. Chan, a very gentle and good person. Thanks for your music.

[rhodatacaldo]

The legend he is! I love all his songs, , especially Beautiful Girl, Please Be Careful, Tell me your name, and his CHRISTmas songs!

[mulancruz]

Omg!! He is really a music icon. Am so blown away by the fact that he was composer of many OPM songs that I really liked. He certainly deserves a National Artist award. Indeed he is so giving and humble and stands up even for all composers.to get their due. May he live long enough to inspire.more artists.

[Lynandherlilfriends]

Galing, sa mga interview na ganito, nalalaman mo mga back stories sa mga songs na part pala sya dun... Youre truly a legend Lodi Jose Mari Chan.

[fedeotagayon]

He’s my favorite! Very humble, very compassionate. A man who knows how to recognize our Lord God for all his blessings and he shares his blessings to others. He has been doing concerts for free for fund raising of churches, for sick people inPGH, and more! I hope to watch him again in a concert.

[kaidiekate]

[romanticism]

Jose Mari Chan is the father of OPM Christmas English Songs. 🎄💝 My childhood's Christmas memories wouldn't be complete without hearing his songs esp. Perfect Christmas, and Christmas In Our Hearts... I got so emotional, Idk why but it's out of joy emotions..I mean the best Christmas memories I had. The cool weather, cool wind, I had my playmates, of course bonding with my younger siblings while we're happy with the presents we
received from our ninongs and ninangs eg. toys, box of candies, seasonal fruits, my mother preparing pang noche buena foods, spaghetti.. ube halaya, biko..the time she coming home from simbang gabi, early moring with bibingka, or putobumbong..I was just 6yrs old back then, but during the mass of Christmas eve, she brought us to church, afterwards she bring us to Nijaga Park, enjoy the Christmas theme decorations at the park, trying foods from the food stalls, .. the best one is when she never let it missed that we had a picture from the Santa Claus on that eve. 🥰 Then the time the early morning when I got a present from her a box of different special candies, and a piece of a green apple. Back then it was a luxury for us. Childhood Christmas memories. 🥹🥰
