Creating the album of Manny Cabase compositions had been a true labor of love. So many people with dedication and commitment helped to make this album a reality.

From the album's inception, the man who believed in the project wholeheartedly was the co-producer "Cass" of Anahaw Records of the Philippines. Collaborating with such a positive and talented musician was a privilege.

The album wouldn't have happened if it were not for Nannette Tagimacruz Edillon who spearheaded this project wholeheartedly. She made sure that the link to Producer Cass and to the production team worked while Amapola and Mahnee Cabase were thousands of miles away on tour.

Then came the gifted Filipino musicians who were tireless workers and made the whole experience a pleasure instead of a project. There was Narding Castaneda on solo Guitar, Jun Regalado on drums, Roger Herrera on Bass, the Manila String Ensemble, Cass on 2nd Guitar and many other musicians.

Duplication of the original master tape hapened when music lover and genius of the accordion, Mario Pedone, dubbed as "The Accordion Of The Century" joined the team. Because of his belief in the project and his love for music of any language, and of course his never ending generosity, the CD was finally born in his own production studio in Texas.

The lyrics of all the songs in this album were written by three talented people: The late Saturnino A. Villarino - the man Manny Cabase collaborated with since the 50s producing more than two dozen songs for the Visayan cinema; Sheila Cabase -who excelled in the written word and was Manny's better half; and Manny Cabase himself who wrote some of the lyrics to his own melodies.
