Pascual announced the news in an Instagram post on Sunday and shared how this song changed his life.
“It’s been two years since I first released this song and my life has been a crazy rollercoaster since,” Pascual wrote.
It’s still unbelievable for him how people know this song every time he performs it: “Hindi pa din ako makapinawala everytime nagperperform ako at narinig kong alam nyo ang kantang ako lang dati ang may kabisado.”
The 21-year-old singer also vowed: “I will never stop writing songs.”
Pascual then thanked his fans for their support to his music and promised, “Mas magaaral pa ako at mas pagbubutihan ko pa.”
He added: “Salamat din sa Filscap, sa pagbibigay ng importansya at suporta sa mga musikerot/musikera. Mabuhay ang OPM!”
“Dahil Sa’yo” dominated the Billboard Philippines charts for weeks when it was released and was named “Song of the Year” at the 30th Awit Awards.
