Borja also wrote the recent hit of Philippine pop princess Sarah
Geronimo “I Still Believe In Loving You.”
Last year, he also had a major hit “If The Feeling Is Gone” with R & B artist Kyla. MYMP’s latest CD features a Christmas song composed by Borja called “Soon It’s Christmas.” Christmas songs always have a special meaning to Borja, his first major hit song was a Christmas ballad “Sana Ngayong Pasko”, first popularized by Ariel Rivera. Over the years, “Sana Ngayong Pasko” has been recorded by countless other artists including Lea Salonga, Jolina Magdangal, Sharon Cuneta and most recently by Jed Madela. It has now become a Christmas classic, played on radio and performed on television year after year and even used in TV commercials. |
