The music collaboration between the multi-awarded Filipina Broadway star and the Philippines’ National Artist for Music was teased on social media by the 2019 SEA Games Organizing Committee on August 24.
“We are honored to be collaborating with the best names in the industry and are very grateful to them for sharing their talents — which you will hear very soon,” went the caption on a photo of Salonga and Cayabyab in a recording studio.
