Basil Valdez, still the class act

VALDEZ. Continues to capture the hearts of music lovers.

NICETO TORRES, retired school teacher:“After more than three decades, Basil Valdez continues to capture the hearts of music lovers! I’ve been his follower since he recorded ‘Ngayon at Kailanman,’ my wedding song.

“His voice is unique, and he doesn’t resort to vocal acrobatics. He enunciates the lyrics of his songs in a way that is heartwarming and moving. In his latest CD, he makes his cover of Wency Cornejo’s ‘Hanggang’ sound like it was specifically written for him! He is a class act.”

Serge Sioson, student: “What’s with DJ Mo? After his controversial video, in which he talked about a sensitive issue that was damaging to his former girlfriend, he is in the news again for having urged the followers of his radio program to use ‘sextapeCharice’ as a hash tag on Twitter.

“He and his co-hosts may have apologized for what they did, but I’m glad Charice isn’t taking this issue sitting down. Our legislators would do well to approve finally the bill that criminalizes cyberbullying.”

Lilian Maling, employee: “DzMM Teleradyo’s ‘Music & Memories’ every Sunday afternoon is like a breath of fresh air. I’m glad there are still shows like this—a welcome contrast to show biz talk shows.

“Hosts Boots Anson-Roa and Willie Nepomuceno have perfect chemistry, and their discussions benefit from their spontaneity. Plus, their choice of songs is inspired—and I love how Willie introduces each tune in a funny way!”
